Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...

In creating the novelty, the brand designers have set a goal - to develop a non-trivial dial with which to read the testimony, not get smart. You cannot say that the model is the discovery of something new, but to call it an exclusive is quite fair.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...

All the originality of the Mystic watch is enclosed in the dial’s design: it is a disc rotating in a clockwise direction, on which are printed large indexes. Between the labels there are 00, 15, 30, 45 figures – this is a minute scale. Over the scale of the rotating dial a red second hand "runs".
The unique dial is placed on a round steel case that can be made in black or white. Diameter is 42 mm.

Gc Watches - Gc-4 - 15th Anniversary Limited Edition

Gc Watches - Gc-4 - 15th Anniversary Limited Edition

Gc takes pride to introduce a new sophisticated Limited Edition Swiss Made mechanical watch with skeletal movement to celebrate its 15th anniversary. In this new timepiece, traditional Swiss savoir-faire meets bold and expressive design, perfectly translating the Gc brand characteristics. The finely etched mechanical ETA 2801 movement is visible through four interconnected circular openings on the dial or through the transparent case back. A strong statement of modern Swiss watch making.
The Gc-4 15th Anniversary Limited Edition timepiece exudes the Gc passion for remarkable design with utmost attention to detail combined with the beauty of Swiss craftsmanship. The striking 44 mm case with tapered lugs and the beveled bezel with decorative screws set the sporty elegant frame for the finely chiseled skeleton movement, and the sophisticated cut-out dial. A black sunray detail around the openings features hand-applied roman numerals and indices smartly putting into focus the inner beauty and life of the watch. The movement with 17 jewels features a 42-hour power reserve and offers standard time indication with central hour, minute and second hand, coated with SuperLuminova®. The annular balance oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, precisely setting the pace of this outstanding Gc timepiece.

The timepiece is equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal as well as with a transparent sapphire crystal case back. The crown with embossed Gc logo and the screw down  case back offer a water resistance to 50 meters (5 ATM). It is available in 115 limited and numbered pieces making it not only a highly qualitative but also a highly exclusive anniversary piece.
One of the highlights for Baselworld for Gc and a true signature style for the brand in its colour combination is the all-black matte PVD model with intriguing rose gold accents. The hand applied indices and hour hands shimmer in stylish rose gold on the cut-out dial. The dial opening at 12 o’clock carries a 15th anniversary engraving on the rose gold rim. The total all-black look model is completed by a black croco-embossed Italian leather strap with a two-side pusher deployment buckle engraved with a Gc logo.
Besides this highlight piece, this series consists of two other executions, one with a black PVD case set against a brown dial and brown croco-embossed leather strap and another with a brushed and polished 316L stainless steel case with silver dial and black croco-embossed.

DEVON - Tread 1 Steampunk Limited Edition

DEVON - Tread 1 Steampunk Limited Edition NEW


Devon Works LLC, a Los Angeles-based advanced engineering and design laboratory made a name for themselves by reinventing the watch when they released their now-iconic timepiece, the Tread 1, arguably the most cutting-edge watch made today that combines striking visuals and breakthrough engineering. 
The Tread 1 dazzled the watch world with its patented system of interwoven time belts powered by its very own electromechanical hybrid movement. The DEVON team employed experts from outside the watch industry, relying upon engineering talent from within the United States aerospace industry - an industry founded on the principle of constantly achieving seemingly impossible tasks.


Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ... 

Although modern in appearance, the DEVON Tread 1 was actually inspired by the Industrial Revolution and the invention of conveyor belts. Now DEVON’s creative lab is releasing a special edition of their debut timepiece, aptly named Tread 1 Steampunk. "If you love watching the wheels, cogs, and gears do their thing as I do, it doesn't take too long to connect the dots to the Steampunk design genre and the Victorian fantasies it conjures," states DEVON’s founder and Creative Director, Scott Devon.
 
Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ... 

What began as a design study turned into a reality when the first Tread 1 Steampunk renderings were shown to a select group of the world's most prolific watch collectors. "We were inspired to put Steampunk into immediate production by the responses we received and subsequently moved it ahead of some of our other projects," notes Ehren Bragg, DEVON's Managing Director.


Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ... 

Although very similar in size and configuration to the normal Tread 1, Steampunk is instantly recognizable as something special. The piece measures 56mm x 50mm x 18.5mm and exterior case parts are covered by bronze “body armor,” a term coined by DEVON’s Chief Engineer, Jeff Stephenson, because of the way the cladding protects the original Tread 1 case structure. This body armor is a complex system of parts that is accented by extensive riveting as well as screws and fittings made of a pleasantly contrasting mix of brass and bronze finishes.

 Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ... 

Phosphor bronze spring spacers are placed at the four corners of the armor adding even more depth to Steampunk’s aesthetic. The visual symphony carries on inside the case where the most recognizable features are the movement’s brass motor housings and the newly designed indicator plate that’s intricately etched to accomplish a delicate, vintage appeal. The fiberglass-reinforced nylon Time Belts are dark brown while the numerals are executed in an off-white color. All of these elements, among others, contribute to a decidedly antiqued and bespoke appearance.


Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ... 

The Devon Tread 1 Steampunk will be limited to a special edition of 150 pieces and retail for US $25,000 when deliveries begin this November. "I believe this is a must-have watch for any serious watch collector, I know I can't wait to wear mine. In fact, it's been so well-received that we’re even thinking of launching a line of Steampunk luggage and briefcases," adds Devon. The watch’s charging device is a work of art by itself and it’s easy to see why the lab is considering extending the design to other segments.

"There is a quote from Robert Brown that so succinctly defines the world of Steampunk," concludes Devon. "Steampunk is a sort of dream, the way we used to daydream. It's like part of your childhood is just bursting forward again.’ My hope is that our inventions continue to prompt the same emotive responses from people that we’ve received thus far.”

About Devon Works, LLC
Led by founder Scott Devon and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Devon Works, LLC is a design lab dedicated to creating innovative luxury products that exemplify the American spirit. Devon Works began with the design of the exclusive Devon GTX supercar and continued with the revolutionary Tread line of timepieces.


Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...

Devon is a reinvention of the watch. The Tread 1, daring and inventive, represents the exploratory American spirit. The exposed movement is a mesmerizing display of the patented interwoven system of conveyor belts. This series of belts includes critical elements that allow the optical recognition system to know every belt position at all times.
The Devon Tread watch is arguably the most cutting edge watch made today, a timepiece of striking visuals and technology.  The Tread 1 Watch features four internal 2-micron thin belts that spin within the case to display the time.  It’s powered by a lithium polymer rechargeable cell that is charged by wireless induction.  This electric system runs the belts that are kept in tune with an optical technology.  Add that all up, and you have one of the most technically advanced, visually stunning watches ever made.  The Devon Works Tread 1 Watch was designed by a California aerospace company, a group that is quite comfortable with fitting square pegs through round holes.  This watch is a prime example of their technical prowess.
Operating out of California, DEVON is the only American watch company using its own proprietary movement. In late 2010, the Tread 1 was nominated for the Gran Prix d’Horlogerie de Genéve in the category of Design and Concept Watch – the first American watch brand ever to receive this laudable recognition.

SEIKO - Prospex Marinemaster Sea Golgo 13 Limited Edition

SEIKO - Prospex Marinemaster Sea Golgo 13 Limited Edition NEW

The Japanese watchmaker Seiko has recently updated its family of expensive diving watches with a new limited edition model. Created together with the local Shogakukan publishing company, the new Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Golgo 13 Limited Edition (Ref. SBBN023) watch pays homage to the iconic “Golgo 13″ series of manga comic books, which is centered around the eponymous character who happens to be a professional assassin. Although the character clearly prefers to do his job with a scoped M-16 automatic rifle (a strange choice of weapon for a professional killer, but at least it looks nice on pictures), there is always a room for a diving suit and a good old speargun.


  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...

Presented in a huge stainless steel body that measures whole 47 millimeters in diameter and is decorated with a layer of black PVD coating, the new Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Golgo 13 is powered by the well-known Seiko caliber 7C46 magnetically shielded quartz movement.
Although lacking the thermocompensating technology that the high-end Swiss quartz is known for, the mechanism is still very good in terms of both reliability and accuracywith acceptable monthly loss/gain of less than 15 seconds (with actual timekeepers often loosing or gaining no more than a second or two per week).

Built on 7 jewels and having an approximate battery life of about five years, the movement is equipped with a standard end of life indicator with the central seconds hand starting to jump in two seconds intervals when the battery needs to be swapped for a new one.

  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...

As usual for this family, the dial of the timekeeper sports a very legible, highly contrast layout with huge hour markers and wide luminous hands (even the seconds hand has a large luminous dot on its counterweight so that you can always be sure that the watch keeps ticking, even when deep underwater).

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...  BIG FOTO

Although the line of quartz-powered models is sometimes referred to as a ‘poor man’s Marinemaster’, the watch is not particularly cheap with some specimens available for pre-order on eBay for pretty much impressive $1450 USD.


Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...  BIG FOTO

Although the price may scare away a great deal of cash-strapped enthusiasts, the watch still seems to offer a good value for money since, in return, you not only receive a nicely executed limited edition model (Seiko plans to limit the Marinemaster Golgo 13′s production to meager 500 pieces), but also get a chance to enjoy the legendary Japanese quality.
