Hamilton’s Khaki Aviation X-Wind line heads for new heights as the brand launches a new interpretation of its iconic X-Wind collection.

It was a Hamilton watch used on the first US postal service flight between Washington and New York, so aviation is nothing new to the brand whose prestigious aviation heritage dates back to 1919 and has included the rank of official supplier to the US Armed Forces since 1914. Geared toward the skyward bound, working with leading air squadrons and world famous pilots, Hamilton’s Khaki Aviation line is renowned for providing classic aviator styling and functions specific to pilots’ needs. Bursting with character rooted in aviation and the instruments that guide it, immeasurably technical and painstakingly precise, the big, aggressive Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono is no exception to this rule.

Racy black PVD decor underscores the line’s close ties with aviation, emphasizing its reputation for precision and technicity. A black leather strap is the finishing touch to the dark good looks of the new generation Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono which sports a robust 45 mm diameter with five characteristically chunky side elements in the form of an X and contrasting silver detail.

A place in another league

It goes without saying that the stainless steel with black PVD coating case of the latest iteration of the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono naturally houses what really sets the X-Wind apart: one of the world’s first drift angle calculator in a watch. This enables pilots to accurately calculate and record the crosswinds they will encounter on their planned journey. Water-resistant to 10 bars (100 meters), the Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono is powered by a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement that has been modified into the Hamilton caliber H-21 – upping the power reserve to an appropriately muscular 60 hours.

Each of the three counters feature stylized metal overlays complemented by two-tone brushed metal detailing around the day and date aperture at 9 o’clock, resulting in a singularly industrial look with a fascinating 3D effect.

HUBLOT – BIG BANG Unico Magic SAPPHIRE Edition

HUBLOT – BIG BANG Unico Magic SAPPHIRE Chronograph Edition

THE TOTAL WHOLENESS OF THE VISIBLE AND THE INVISIBLE

BIG BANG UNICO MAGIC SAPPHIRE

When the magic of the basic pieces reinvented by Hublot
happens beneath the transparency of sapphire

Over the years, Hublot has promoted aesthetic and chromatic codes and materials to the ranks of distinctive benchmarks. The BIG BANG Unico Magic Sapphire brings together several of these, as evoked by its very name: an iconic watch, a Hublot movement, a historic signature and an acclaimed innovative material. Drawing on the mastery and expertise acquired in machining sapphire, it is pushing the boundaries even further by optimising the components while simplifying the construction of the case. Invisible visibility or visible invisibility, no concept can exist without its own opposite, and Hublot confirms the adage by blending the visible and the invisible.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In 2016, Hublot wrote a new page of its history, a first in terms of the machining of sapphire that it made more ‘widespread’ by successfully shaping it for more than just very limited series. Capitalising on this unique savoir-faire, it cut 500 new BIG BANG cases out of this material that is almost as hard as a diamond. A complex material, the most scratch-resistant and the most crystalline that exists, sculpted into the form of the iconic BIG BANG case.

In its ongoing quest for excellence, Hublot combined all the experience it had acquired from the BIG BANG Unico Sapphire and Big Bang Unico Sapphire All Black models onto the development of this new edition. A watch in ‘less is more’ mode featuring a simplified construction that is easier to assemble and, in addition, offers greater transparency and resistance. A greater visibility inside the case which no longer has titanium inserts for the bezel and the back. A greater shock resistance with one-piece components for the bezel and the back.

Game of opposites

A fusion of the visible and the invisible, the Big Bang Unico Magic Sapphire, a watch that makes the complex simple, and the ordinary extraordinary, and yet seems to be of a completely natural obviousness. The middle, bezel and back of the case display total transparency and contrast with the finishing and textures of the dial which have assumed the emblematic aesthetic ‘Black Magic’ codes — a black skeleton dial sporting the iconic red second hand.

As for the strap, it comes in natural black rubber, the historic material of the brand. The duality between the visible and the invisible sets the tone for this piece. Under the effect of the transparency and the skeletal aspect, the mechanics of Unico HUB124 manufacture movement and its column wheel positioned on the dial side come into play. In terms of water resistance, this new edition can be used for diving up to 50 metres.

A piece that confirms Hublot’s pioneering and audacious spirit, having punctuated its history with innovations and firsts, the driving force behind its achievements nourished by its experience, curiosity and furious desire to always move forward. After months of developments, investments of several million and without making it lose its unique nature and rarity, Hublot has now raised sapphire to the ranks of its distinctive and exclusives ‘basic pieces’.

AEROWATCH – 1942 “Night & Day”

AEROWATCH – 1942 “Night & Day” Stainless steel 35mm

Collection 1942 “Night & Day”

AEROWATCH has enriched its signature 1942 collection with a resolutely poetic and feminine timepiece. The innovative watchmaking company's latest creation showcases the horizon as a visible boundary between the sky and the earth.

The new "Night & Day" model is both elegant and seductive, gracing the feminine wrist in any setting and around the clock.

The sleek silhouette of the 35-mm stainless steel case and the unusual display of time are characteristic features of the "Night & Day".

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

As a manifestation of Swiss watchmaking artistry, the rotating 24-hour mother-of-pearl dial interprets the progression of the sun and the moon in a surprising way. Designed by master artisans, the sun glistens in the blue sky as it advances past the stationary blue dot and then sets beneath the horizon when the moon appears.

The refined ladies' watch is endowed with a Swiss quartz movement and keeps track of the time in an ingenious manner. The rotating blue-black dial indicates the hours opposite the pearly blue marker at 12 o'clock while the blue hand displays the minutes as it moves clockwise along the outer mat silvered ring.

A blue leather strap with a signature buckle rounds out the noble personality of this watch. This latest creation is available exclusively at Aerowatch points of sale.

CUERVO Y SOBRINOS – Torpedo Pirata Chrono Day Date Edition

CUERVO Y SOBRINOS – TORPEDO Pirata Chrono Day Date Limited Edition

The Cuervo y Sobrinos brand couldn’t miss the chance to draw a parallel among the historical past of its place of origin. Secret beaches, buried treasures: Caribbean islands such as Cuba, Tortuga and Santo Domingo were once a favourite hunting ground for famous pirates.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Mirroring this spirit of freedom, daring and adventure, Cuervo y Sobrinos pays a tribute to its origin creating watches with a strong identity inspired by the adventurous and romantic spirit of the buccaneers. This is why within the bezel the sentence "Pirata de el Tiempo de la vida" is engraved.

The Torpedo Pirata watch is a wealth of details.

All the parts are clearly reminiscent of the brazenness of the great pirates: the case is in the shape of a cannon mouth while the lugs represent the bow of a ship plundering on the Caribbean Sea. The crown subtle design in the shape of the globe and the buckle recaptures the design of the lugs.

An important feature of this masterpiece is the modular case composed of rings uniquely tailored allowing to combine the various metals which create a watch with ongoing evolution. In fact, the stainless-steel material used in the current model, is the innovation compared to its predecessors made in bronze, the material preferred at the time of the great buccaneers of the 17th century.

The Torpedo Pirata Chrono Day Date houses an automatic movement, the black velvet effect of the chronograph’s dial combines a perfect balance of two counters: 12-hour scale and 30-minute counter. In addition to a central seconds’ counter, hours and minutes and also an independent second’s counter at 9 o’clock with printed Cuervo y Sobrinos blazon and day date window at 3 o'clock.

The sapphire crystal case-back on each model reveals the details of the automatic movement. Engraved on the crystal case-back a unique logo for this model, two “swords” surround the classic CyS logo, paying a tribute to the pirate world in which the watch was inspired.

For the four players of the winning team, Moritz Grossmann's watchmakers created four special-edition ATUM Polo watches: 2 in rose gold and 2 in white gold. Their prominent hallmarks: the hand-engraved DPGC 2017 signature in the case flank and the striking gold mesh beneath the sapphire crystal.

During the finals on 10 March 2017, the public can discover the classic versions of the ATUM as well as all of the other models of the Moritz Grossmann manufacture. At that point, the motto is again: great polo meets pure watchmaking artistry.

The Al Habtoor Polo Resort & Club is a location worthy of the "Game of Kings" in every respect. Thanks to the initiative of Mohammed Al Habtoor, a latest-generation polo centre and academy was created on the outskirts of metropolitan Dubai. Polo history is being written again precisely where the sport was conceived over 2500 years ago.

In 17 years, the DUBAI POLO GOLD CUP has advanced to become the most prestigious tournament in the Middle East. A year ago, Moritz Grossmann CEO Christine Hutter presented four watches to the winning team of United Arab Emirates Polo captained by Her Highness Shaikha Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
