JEANRICHARD – Bronze Terrascope













JEANRICHARD Bronze Terrascope Automatic NEW

 

Bringing back the sparkle into everyday’s life


Right at a first glance, the two bronze JEANRICHARD Terrascopes in 44 and 39 mm embody the quintessence of watchmaking, imbued with a sense of authenticity, elegance and grace – in any size, for any wrist and for males or females alike.

The newest addition to the recently presented Terrascope 44 mm model is the 39 mm interpretation of the bronze dial Terrascope with a set bezel – an everyday watch with stunningly beautiful details that turn it into an elegant and utterly female timepiece.

The iconic JEANRICHARD Terrascope family has recently been extended by the 39 mm diameter timepieces, with the perfect dimensions to dress any wrists. This new model goes one step further by boasting a diamond-set bezel and a polished and vertically satin-finished stainless steel case particularly targeting the female audience. The growing affinity and interest of women in incorporating a timepiece into their lifestyle inspired JEANRICHARD to create this Terrascope 39 mm watch.

The unconventionality of the Terrascope paired with the discreet elegance give the bronze 39 mm timepiece a certain distinction and timeless touch. Whereas the cushion-shaped case and ostrich strap give the Terrascope the optical strength, the refined bronze tone that can be found on the dial and the shimmering brilliant-cut diamonds fortify the magnificence of this timepiece. The brushed dial, protected by an antireflective sapphire crystal case, creates a subtle contrast that enhances the shine of the diamonds, giving this watch an even higher intensity and elegance.

The core of the bronze watches remains the self-winding JR60 movement and the mechanical caliber that can be admired through a sapphire-crystal case back in the new 39 mm version. The ostrich strap is equipped with a stainless steel folding buckle and ensures comfort.

RJ-Romain Jerome – Skylab 48 Limited Edition















RJ-Romain Jerome MOON-DNA Skylab 48 Limited Edition NEW

RJ-Romain Jerome brings the stars 
to your wrist with the Skylab 48!

The Skylab timepiece has seduced many RJ-Romain Jerome fans with its distinctive design and complex skeleton dial. Inspired by NASA’s first space station, the Skylab timepiece is a testimony to Man’s technical achievements. 

RJ-Romain Jerome celebrates Historical milestones by conceptualising Legends and Icons into unique timepieces. In honour of these achievements, the iconoclastic brand has launched in 2014 its first skeleton timepiece, the Skylab.

For 2015, the design of this iconic timepiece has evolved and is now presented in a 48mm case. Reminding us of the complex structure of the original space station, the dial features a complex five layered skeleton which allows a perfect view of the mechanical movement.

The larger case beholds two sapphire glasses enhancing the view of the geometrical structured lines that are constructed around the heart of the timepiece. Composed of a single barrel at 12 o’clock, the skeleton movement also reveals the balance wheel at 6 o’clock. Furthermore the case has been made thinner to embrace its new size and further enhances the comfort of the timepiece.

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






































These two additional timepieces stay true to the Moon-DNA collection with a Speed Metal model infused with Apollo 11 spacecraft steel inside the bezel whilst the red gold model evokes the brightness of astellar system visible for a spaceship’s porthole. Each watch is finished with a custom made black alligator strap.

The Skylab is the result of a thoughtfully crafted timepiece that combines a complex mechanism with an innovative design. Limited to 99 pieces per model, RJ-Romain Jerome creates once again a testimony to Man’s wildest dreams.

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.

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






























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.

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


































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.

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


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.

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

































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.

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































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.
