PANERAI - PAM505 Radiomir Composite® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic- 45mm

OFFICINE PANERAI -  Radiomir Composite® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic- 45mm PAM505  2012



The technology of Panerai Composite is combined with the 1930s appeal of the classic Radiomir cushion case in the new Radiomir Composite® 3 Days – 47mm and the Radiomir Composite® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic – 45mm, two models with movements completely designed and created by Officine Panerai in the manufacture of Neuchâtel.
 
The Radiomir Composite® 3 Days – 47mm (PAM00504) has a cushion case in brown Panerai Composite, surrounding a dial of the same colour. Featuring the classic alternation of linear markers and large figures at the cardinal points, this dial has the construction devised by Officine Panerai in the late 1930s to enhance readability even under very poor lighting conditions: two superimposed discs contain the luminous material, the light from which shines through the apertures in the upper one corresponding to the markers. Its quintessential design is enhanced by the small seconds dial at nine o’clock and by the inscription Radiomir Panerai.

The name Black Seal, printed on the dial, is a proprietary name of Officine Panerai which evokes fascinating memories of the history of the brand: Black Seal was one of the names used to describe the slow-speed torpedoes, the midget submarines on which the commandos of the Italian Navy carried out their heroic underwater enterprises during the Second World War, with Panerai watches and instruments on their wrists.

GRAHAM – Geo.Graham The Moon Tourbillon


GRAHAM GEO.GRAHAM THE MOON Limited Edition
 
Celestial mechanics have been a major scientific Celestial mechanics have been a major scientific quest for centuries as well as a constant source of fascination and inspiration for mankind. Our senses are aroused as we gaze at the celestial mystery and serene beauty of the Moon.
 
Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ... 


“The Moon has a face like the clock in the hall” wrote Robert Louis Stevenson in one of his poems, finely insisting on the undeniable connection between time and space. GRAHAM celestial manual flying Tourbillon, called Geo.Graham The Moon, which features a perpetual moon retrograde function, embodies the mastery of astronomy applied to high-end watch making.


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

His head up to the sky, George Graham had a great love for observing the Moon while creating his time machines. He spent lots of his time staring at the universe and finding many solution to his mechanical watch making dilemma. Friend of the astronomers, he worked on Sir Newton’s theories of gravitation to elaborate very precise mechanisms combining the magic of the sky and watch
making science. Over the years, the Moon has remained an object of curiosity which has greatly influenced life on Earth. It has helped to determine physical locations, to track time and more generally to develop mathematics and science. People switched from simply watching the time pass by, to the use of time as an inestimable travelling tool.

Geo.Graham The Moon is a history making celestial representation. Its name pays tribute to the GRAHAM tradition and heritage descending from George Graham who engraved his signature on each of his exclusive creations since 1695.
It is a truly unique watch that combines a flying tourbillon with a high-precision retrograde moonphase perpetual function, the cycle being calculated on the Moon’s exact synodic period for a duration of 122 years. At the end of each synodic period, the retrograde mechanism ensures that the Moon jumps back to the beginning of a new moon-phase cycle.

Constellations of diamonds

Big in appearance, our Moon only weights 0.07 grams and is hand-painted by local craftsmen in Le Locle. To avoid any damage on the lunar disc and attenuate the retrograde fall, a double absorber system has been developed exclusively for GRAHAM by Christophe Claret in Locle.

 View of the whole celestial sphere
 
The synodic period equals 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.9 seconds which corresponds to 2’551’442.9 seconds. Once correctly set, this high-precision moon phase will only require adjustment once every 122 years by a single push on the corrector!

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

Scientists such as Isaac Newton or George Graham have made major discoveries as they realized that combining astronomy and time keeping would lead to remarkable advancement. The main difficulty of the watch lies in the delicate and complex flying Tourbillon. It challenges Newton’s law of gravitation and also pays tribute to his remarkable findings. The Geo.Graham tourbillon rotates on a ball bearing to substitute rolling for sliding friction.

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

Our movement is coated in blue and adorned with constellations of 45 diamonds (0.24 cts) (flange collar: 11 diamonds, dial: 34 diamonds) such as Camelopardalis, Perseus, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor and at the centre becoming the North Star’s position.

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

To magnify the moon phase, the pink gold (18K) case with faceted horns is crowned with a Milky Way sapphire painted bezel. It offers you a unique view of the universe through a refracting telescope.
Geo.Graham The Moon is the ultimate representation of the association of astronomy and extraordinary watch making. It pays tribute to the early 18th century which saw the creation of new measurement instruments by George Graham for his friend Edmond Halley and the Greenwich Royal Observatory in London.

Renewal, mystery, intuition, wonder, balance, fertility; this is what the Moon and stars refer to. Combined with our rich heritage it is also what will exude the Geo.Graham and its constellations of diamonds.

Longines - Heritage Avigation Type A-7














LONGINES - Heritage Avigation Watch Type A-7


Founded in 1832 in Saint-Imier, the famous Swiss watch brand can boast a long tradition characterised by the elegance of its products. The Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 has been inspired by the brand’s rich history and its close relationship with the world of aviation

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

































 




Performance and precision – which are essential qualities in this field – are abundant in this exceptional chronograph, which is fitted with the single push-piece column-wheel movement that was developed exclusively for Longines. Its characteristic design, marked by an impressive diameter and angled dial, is extremely eye-catching and perfectly illustrates Longines’ famous know-how.

The model on which The Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 is based was a superb amalgam of precision and high quality. Today, Longines presents this exceptional model which will no doubt go down in the annals of the brand’s rich heritage. At the beginning of the 20th century the name of Longines was closely associated with the pioneers of aviation – those men and women who attempted the impossible and left their mark on history. Guaranteeing precision and quality, Longines timepieces were an essential part of the equipment of these aviators during their exploits.

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







































The Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 was inspired by models developed during the 1930s that had to meet extremely stringent criteria from the point of view of appearance, quality and precision in order to be selected by aviators and bear the name “Type A-7” given by the U.S. Army. Their large diameter and fluted crown enabled them to be easily read and quickly manipulated, even if the pilot was wearing thick gloves. The angled black dial with its large white numerals also ensured easy reading in poor light or turbulence. The angle of the dial was specially designed for the chronograph to be worn on the inside of the wrist. This meant that the dial was aligned with the aircraft’s instruments and the pilot could read the timepiece without moving his or her arm or letting go of the controls.

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




























 The racy elegance of The Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7 single push-piece chronograph immediately catches the eye. The steel case has a diameter of 49 mm and houses an L788 calibre, a column-wheel movement developed exclusively for Longines.


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
























The various chronograph functions – start, stop and reset to zero – can all be operated by pressing the single push-piece set in the fluted crown. In imitation of the aviators’ timepieces, the dial is angled at 50° to the right and features large white Arabic numerals, all of which make up the exceptional character of this timepiece. Its sleek appearance is enhanced by the tachometer scale around the outer edge of the dial and the Breguet minute and hour hands. The whole is mounted on a black alligator strap. Furthermore, the intricate workings of this exceptional piece can be admired through the hinged cover on the sapphire glass back of The Longines Avigation Watch Type A-7.

BREITLING - NAVITIMER Blue Sky Limited Edition 60th Anniversary


















BREITLING - NAVITIMER Blue Sky Limited Edition 60th Anniversary

To mark the 60th Anniversary of the Navitimer chronograph, the cult model among pilots and aviation enthusiasts, Breitling is introducing a 500-piece limited edition with an elegant dial in an exclusive shade of blue and aptly named the Navitimer Blue Sky

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


























 
In 1952, Breitling already a firm fixture among aeronautical professionals decided to create a new “wrist instrument” specifically designed with aviators in mind. The result was the Navitimer with its famous circular slide rule providing simple and fast handling of all calculations relating to airborne navigation: an authentic wristworn instrument panel. In an era preceding the advent of electronic calculators, this model unique in its kind was soon adopted by many pilots for flight preparation and monitoring whether it came to calculating average speed, distance covered, fuel consumption or rates of ascent and descent. The only authentic aviation chronograph in widespread use, it was naturally chosen as the official watch by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, the largest of its kind in the world and of which the logo often appears on models from the 1950s and 1960s. The Navitimer features a functional design and a highly original technical yet elegant look that is recognizable at first glance. It thus established itself as one of the ten great 20th century watchmaking classics, a timeless benchmark in its field and a reliable value. Continuously made since 1952, while remaining loyal to the aesthetic of the original, it is the world’s oldest mechanical chronograph still in production.
