Ulysse Nardin – Dual Time Manufacture















Ulysse NardinDual Time Manufacture Limited Edition NEW

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





























It’s a new world for the men’s Dual Time

Introducing a supremely modern and original design, the timepiece collection features a model with a bold blue face emphasized by a geometric rope motif, tying the watch to its nautical roots. The feeling of tradition is sharply juxtaposed by spike-styled indexes marking the hours; these unique elements are so “present” that they seem to call out the numbers on the dial.

Now, this incredible timepiece returns equipped with an automatic movement that has been developed, designed and manufactured entirely in-house: caliber UN-334. Endowed with a Big Date double window display, also adjustable in both directions, it boasts a silicon escapement, the height of watchmaking technology that very few brands are able to master.

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






























Behind this simplicity of use – a true lesson in functionality – the Manufacture caliber UN-334 deploys the results of many years of research. Featuring a 48-hour power reserve, it is equipped with a silicon anchor, escape wheel and roller. The 4 Hz oscillator also has a patented 1.1.1. silicon balance spring, guaranteeing impressive accuracy.

Having made its watchmaking dйbut a little over 10 years ago thanks to the pioneering efforts of Ulysse Nardin, this highly contemporary material requires hardly any lubrication and resists wear more than any other. Complex to work with, its manufacturing techniques remain the prerogative of just a handful of watchmakers. The selfwinding movement, a technological gem, is showcased through a sapphire case-back.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is an ultra-classic timekeeper. Engaging in its quiet beauty, it showcases a warm ivory dial and a simple, linear Roman numeral XII and hour markers outlined in gold.

Independence through innovation: the Ulysse Nardin Manufacture constantly pursues the steep but extraordinarily worthwhile path it chose to take a few years ago. Offering hours, minutes, oversized small seconds at 6 o’clock, a big date double window display and second time zone functions, the Dual Time Manufacture is without doubt one of the easiest watches to read and adjust on the market. While the “home time” indicator advances steadily over 24 hours in an aperture at 9 o’clock, the small hand can easily be aligned with local time, either forward or backward.

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







































 This is achieved simply by pressing the (+) or (-) pushers positioned at 10 o'clock and 8 o’clock, without having to remove the watch from the wrist or interrupting its timekeeping. The ultimate in mechanical refinement, the calendar function automatically synchronizes with adjustments made in either direction.

These two additions to the Dual Time portfolio provide the traditionalists and contemporaries, alike, an option just right for them.

JEANRICHARD – Blue Terrascope Automatic













JEANRICHARD – Blue Terrascope Automatic NEW

A match made in Blue

JEANRICHARD is all about discovering new horizons, perspectives and is made for exceptional personalities. Now, the JEANRICHARD women and men can embark on new adventures together with the new sophisticated blue Terrascope. After launching a 39 mm edition just at the beginning of 2015, for Baselworld, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer presents the 44 mm blue companion. The opportunities are now truly endless; to ascertain new lands and cultures with a timepiece that stands for independence and exploration – and now even in a matching look.


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




























The new blue Terrascope dial animation is a watch that comprises an innovation never seen before at JEANRICHARD – a three-dimensional look to this animated textured dial. The dial has been processed in a special technique – the engraved surface is obtained via a unique manufacturing process whereby a desired shape arises using electrical sparks. The material of the dial is lacquered brass.

In combination with the blue Terrascope in 39 mm and now also newly in 44 mm, these two versatile models are an impeccable pair. Shaped in the signature modern Terrascope silhouette, these watches feature a polished and vertically satin-finished stainless steel case and are equipped with a blue dial with rhodium-coated suspended indexes and a seconds index in red.

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
























The larger model comes with a blue rubber strap that has thin striated bands and the signature JR logo – the 39 mm model is available with a double-sided reversible rubber strap featuring on one side the signature JEANRICHARD look and on the other side the “Rubbergator”. This new timepiece alternatively also comes with an ostrich strap and has like all models, a folding buckle providing extra comfort.

The remaining features of the Terrascope are an icon: The everlasting signature design has an immaculately finished JR60 movement that is self-wound and on the 39 mm model also a sapphire-crystal case back that allows the observation of the inner details and craftsmanship.

PANERAI – RADIOMIR 1940 3 DAYS AUTOMATIC ACCIAIO - 45mm PAM619


OFFICINE PANERAI PAM619 RADIOMIR 1940 3 DAYS Automatic TITANIO – 45mm 

THE RADIOMIR 1940 IS AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A NEW VERSION IN TITANIUM, WITH AN AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT USING A DECENTRALISED OSCILLATING WEIGHT WHICH WINDS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS

The Radiomir 1940 collection is enhanced by a new model which interprets the combination of elegant simplicity of design and sophisticated technical content in an original way: the Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Titanio.

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

The appearance of the Radiomir 1940 is classic, with the large cushion case – 45mm in diameter – of pure minimalist lines, its lugs formed out of the block of the case, a polished bezel and a cylindrical winding crown. But it is in the details that the research and richness of content incorporated in the new watch is revealed.

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

The case is made of two different types of titanium: the caseband is of grade 2 titanium, a perfect alloy for its lightness (40% lighter than steel), its resistance to corrosion and its potential for being worked with the most complex machining; the bezel and crown, on the other hand, are of grade 5 titanium, an alloy which differs from the previous one in that it can be polished, thus obtaining a sophisticated contrasting finish.

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

The colour of the titanium is in perfect harmony with the warm tone of the brown dial, made with the characteristic sandwich construction created by Panerai in the 1930s to ensure the maximum visibility and legibility even in conditions of very low light. The special Super-LumiNova® ecru gives the dial a vintage aspect which is perfectly suited to the watch, faithful in design and spirit to the period Panerai models, while completely embodying the technical solutions of today. Also evoking the past of the brand are the characteristic small seconds dial at 9 o’clock, a unique moving element of the minimalist dial.

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

From the back, through the central sapphire window, the P.4000 calibre can be admired. This is the brand’s first automatic movement with a decentralised oscillating weight, completely designed and made in Panerai’s manufacture in Neuchâtel. The decentralised rotor, much smaller in diameter than the calibre itself, enables the thickness of the movement to be substantially reduced.

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

The oscillating weight is very small and fitted within the movement instead of superimposed upon it, and the result is a calibre which has all the characteristics of precision, reliability and solidity of Panerai calibres but with a thickness of only 3.95 mm.

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

The weight is made of tungsten – a material with a particularly high specific weight – and it winds in both directions, enabling it to accumulate a power reserve of three days, thanks to the use of two spring barrels connected in series. The P.4000 calibre also has the device which stops the balance when the winding crown is pulled out, so that the watch can be perfectly synchronised.

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

The Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Titanio (PAM00619) is water-resistant to 10 bar (equivalent to a depth of about 100 metres) and it is supplied with a brown buffalo leather strap, with contrasting stitching.

JEANRICHARD – Terrascope GMT













JEANRICHARD Terrascope Grey Dial GMT NEW


A traveller’s best companion

JEANRICHARD adds a further milestone to its Terrascope history and expands its esteemed iconic collection with a new timepiece that will complement any adventurer’s journey and make sure his experience happens on time – even if between two different time zones. The Terrascope GMT – made for the sophisticated globetrotter of today – is a reliable partner that indicates the local time and is equipped with a GMT complication, allowing the owner to keep track of time in two time zones at a single glance.

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





























Inspired by the active lifestyle of a world traveller, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has created a timepiece that embodies the values of the Philosophy of Life on another level.

The Terrascope GMT will be available in three-color dial versions, blue, grey and classical black and features a polished and vertically satin finished stainless steel case. While the black and blue dial versions come with rhodium-coated suspended indexes, the grey version has black nickel suspended indexes. The GMT clock-hand is smaller in size and has a blue frame, giving it a clear distinction to the ones showing the local time zone.

The high-precision timepiece is adjusted to be on the wrist of a Philosopher of Life who is constantly on the go and appreciates the comfort and subtlety of a well-fitted watch. In addition and to withstand any conditions on the road, the GMT Terrascope comes with a “Rubbergator“ strap in alligator appearance in either black, blue or brown and has a stainless steel folding buckle as a finishing touch.
