EDOX – Geoscope Limited Edition

EDOX –  Geoscope Limited Edition 2013

21st Century facelift for Edox Geoscope classic

In 1971, leading Swiss watchmaker Edox introduced the Geoscope, the world’s first genuine WorldTimer wristwatch. It was a big (42mm), bold and beautiful creation and immediately became a collectors’ favourite. Now, to mark the 130th anniversary of Edox, the Geoscope returns to enthral a whole new generation of watch lovers.

The original Geoscope’s unique colourful planisphere dial showed the globe as viewed from the South Pole. An inner bezel, displaying 24 divisions, made one complete revolution every 24 hours and the watch also showed GMT time, plus the sun’s position.

The new Geoscope Limited Edition (just 300 available worldwide, individually numbered 001 to 300) is an updated version of the original classic, which is still a highly sought-after collector’s piece. The Geoscope Limited Edition retains the inner rotating bezel with its incredible “earth map”, this time as viewed from the North Pole, plus a date display on a sub-dial at 6 o’clock. Powered by an automatic movement with a module for the GMT functions, the Geoscope Limited Edition is water- resistant to 20 ATM (200m).

Produced in steel with a stunning matching steel-link bracelet, this beautiful wristwatch is presented in a special collector’s box.
The Geoscope Limited Edition is a thoroughly modern re-imagining of a timeless classic, with its orange hour markers and distinctive main hands paying homage to those on the original.

Family-owned independent boutique watchmaker Edox, based in Les Genevez, makes a range of rugged, technically advanced, superbly engineered precision watches that complement everything from the world’s most difficult motorsport event, the Dakar Rally, to the Extreme Sailing Series and the more sedate, but no less intense, sport of curling.

To celebrate its 130th anniversary, Edox is releasing new editions of several of its most influential timepieces; the Geoscope, the amazing 500m water-resistant Hydro Sub andan elegant timepiece for its classic, ultra-slim Les Bémonts range, the Les Bémonts Open Vision Automatic.

Parmigiani Fleurier – TONDA Hémisphères

Parmigiani Fleurier – TONDA Hémisphères 

Fleurier presents a new version of the Tonda Hémisphères which uses contrasts to create a futuristic elegance.

The piece owes its aesthetic quality and originality to the use of Super-LumiNova®. Set within the dark dial, two counters leap out, encircled by this luminescent material highlighting the contour of the second time zone at 12 o'clock and of the small second at 6 o'clock.

Viewed in complete darkness, the Tonda Hémisphères takes on a completely different appearance. The two counters stand out in the form of a figure 8 - a symbol of infinity and harmony. A very fine layer of Super-LumiNova® highlights each index with elegant discretion. Finally, the main time indicating hands are lit, as is customary for Parmigiani Fleurier watches, ensuring that the time dominates the dial unobscured.

THE TONDA HEMISPHERES COLLECTION

The Tonda Hémisphères is the ultimate traveller's timepiece. With its two time zones, it allows any two locations to be paired, and correct to the nearest minute. It even allows those locations with a half-hour or quarter-hour difference(*) to be paired with full hour times set from the Greenwich meridian.

The Tonda Hémisphères achieves perfect synchronisation with the local time thanks to its ingenious mechanism which incorporates two independent movements, a motor and a follower. This allows the second time zone to be synchronised with the main time, i.e. linked to the full hour time with the desired interval, or indexed to it, with an additional interval of minutes as well as hours, as is necessary.

Parmigiani Fleurier has taken technical sophistication a step further than conventional GMT watches, whose second time zones only display full hour intervals from the main time. On this model, the calibre PF377 of the Tonda Hémisphères is controlled by two independent crowns: one to wind the movement and adjust the date and the main time; the other, positioned above, to adjust the minutes of the small time zone.

The Tonda Hémisphères also features a day and night indication for each time zone. When the wearer of the Tonda Hémisphères checks the time in the desired part of the world, he gets an immediate impression of what his acquaintance might be doing. The small spherical indication informs him of the time of day or night in the location in question, allowing a mental picture to form immediately.

The Tonda Hémisphères is a watch that combines functionality and poetry. It measures the time in relation to experience and offers extreme precision while leaving plenty of space for the imagination.
