The countdown begins

In just one year's time, the world's greatest athletes will converge on Brazil for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. As the seconds tick down, OMEGA is proud to introduce the Seamaster Bullhead Rio 2016 Limited Edition – a celebration of heritage, precision, and sporting excellence.

Launched at a special OMEGA event in the Olympic host city on 3 August, the Bullhead "Rio 2016" is sure to set pulses racing.

At first sight, it is instantly recognizable for its unique style and design. The blue leather strap links directly to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games logo, and features subtle stitching along each side, coloured yellow, green, red and black to remind the iconic Olympic rings. This colour theme is continued on the 60-minutes rotating inner-bezel, serving as a meaningful reminder of the unity and harmony that the Olympic rings signify.

At the same time that this special timepiece was announced, OMEGA also officially introduced three new “friends” from the world of sailing. Torben Grael is a five-time Olympic medalist and renowned Brazilian sailor, while his daughter Martine Grael and her partner Kahena Kunze are the world ranking leaders of the new Olympic class, the 49erFX.

Along with seeing the athletes, guests at the event were also able to get a close-up view of the new watch. And the case itself has a true link to history and sport. This particular style was first released in 1969, and was used by rally drivers to time their laps. It's highly appropriate then, that the spirit of speed has now evolved to exemplify OMEGA's continuing association as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games.

Like its predecessors the Bullhead "Rio 2016" also features a central chronograph seconds hand and a 30-minute recorder at 12H. It's interesting to point out, that the name "bullhead" was originally a nickname, coined by watch collectors who admired the shape of the timepiece, and concluded that it indeed looked like the head of a bull. There is no doubt that the qualities of strength and determination will be on show next year.

The Seamaster Bullhead Rio 2016 Limited Edition is being released exactly one year before the Olympic Games get under way. Only 316 of these remarkable watches will be made available. This is in honour of the 3rd time that golf has been included at the Olympic Games, as well as the year 2016.

BVLGARI – LVCEA High Jewellery

BVLGARI – LVCEA High Jewellery White Gold Limited Edition NEW

BVLGARI clothes its LVCEA collection 
in brilliant and glamorous High Jewellery attire.

This highly exclusive collection sets a perfect stage for the jeweller’s expertise in three precious watches adorned with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. They shine a precious light on time and endow the LVCEA collection with an even more distinctive radiance.

LVCEA exquisitely exalted

Right from the time of its launch in 2014, LVCEA asserted itself as the new muse among BVLGARI ladies’ watches. Everything about its appearance evokes the style signatures of the Rome-based jeweller. It embodies the perfect alchemist’s blend of opposites: roundness and linearity; light and shade; grace and sophistication. These contrasting qualities reveal it, endow it with distinction and characterise its versatility, while contouring its material, shapes and personality. From dawn to dusk, it suffuses women’s time with the glow of its multiple incarnations: 28 mm, 33 mm and 36 mm cases, mother-of-pearl shades or guilloché effects, the sparkle of diamonds.

LVCEA is born of light.  

The whole nature of its emblematic design enshrines the essence of BVLGARI. Three new interpretations draw all eyes, elegantly and intensely reflecting the purity of light. In its new 23 mm-diameter size, this dainty jewellery watch reveals its full splendour. BVLGARI has chosen to adorn white gold with the four gems traditionally considered the most precious: diamonds, the royal stone; emeralds, the most sought-after form of beryl; as well as the two most prestigious corundum, sapphire and ruby.

In its all-diamond version issued in a five-piece limited edition, LVCEA is swept over blued hands and its crown features a sapphire cabochon set with a brilliant-cut diamond. In the interpretation adorned with rubies or emeralds, each in a three-piece edition, the bezel and bracelet are enhanced with coloured gems. Set with more than 14 carats of precious stones, the bracelet is indeed a piece of jewellery in its own right. The motif formed by the 84 baguette-cut diamonds imparts a distinctive cadence to the dial that marks of time as a reminder of the sundials that inspired it.

Combining the magnetic draw of its inimitably BVLGARI style with the sparkling radiance of close-set and invisible-set baguette-cut gems, the LVCEA collection literally wraps women in light.

MAURICE LACROIX – MASTERPIECE Gravity – Only Watch 2015

MAURICE LACROIX – MASTERPIECE Gravity Unique Piece – Only Watch 2015


The Masterpiece Gravity  “Only Watch 2015” from Maurice Lacroix is an innovative timepiece, at the cutting-edge of progress: Manufacture movement, silicium assortment, world-première “Vague du Jura” decoration, high-tech POWERLITE® case and a striking, modern usage of color.

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

It features a Manufacture Movement, a silicium assortment, an off-­centre hour and minutes display, a world-­première “Vague du Jura” decoration on its main bridge, striking use of colour, presented in an eye-­catching POWERLITE® case (an incredibly robust, durable and light alloy made of Titanium, Aluminum, Zirconium, Magnesium and Ceramic).

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

The Masterpiece Gravity presents its oscillator and assortment centre stage on the dial side of the watch. A domed “glass-­box” sapphire crystal further magnifies the oscillator and assortment, making them appear to sit high within the case and according a sublime three-­dimensional characteristic to the dial. A small seconds display, presented on a subdial partially projects over the disclosed balance assortment, masterfully exploiting depth and curving line.

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

The Masterpiece Gravity was also the first timepiece to feature a fully silicium assortment. Developed in house by Maurice Lacroix, it is a further example of the company’s forward thinking approach to watchmaking.

Finally, the case back of the watch is equipped with a sapphire crystal, according a view of the automatic  Calibre ML230 is 18,000 vph (2.5Hz). It is a cadence that is ideally suited for silicium as it proves gentler to the glass-like substance than those experienced in some higher oscillating movements.

The Masterpiece Gravity inspires and challenges convention. It is an innovative timepiece, at the cutting edge of progress, which does not merely convey time but emotionally engages with the wearer with creative expression.

Hermes – The Pocket Watch for Only Watch 2015

Hermès – The Pocket Watch for Only Watch 2015 NEW

In The Pocket

Leather to highlight more than a century of watchmaking tradition

With the In The Pocket watch, Hermès is reviving a fundamental piece that was to forge its watchmaking destiny already spanning more than a century of history. A family history mingling a love of horses, exceptional leather-making expertise, as well as a perpetually effervescent inventiveness in creating beautiful objects meeting practical needs.

It all began in 1912, when Jacqueline Hermès, still a child at the time, received a gift from her father in the shape of an ingenious “porte-oignon” or pocket-watch holder designed to be secured to the wrist. It had been designed so that the keen young horsewoman could ride without having to attach her watch to her clothing or slip it into her pocket.

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

Testifying to the original Hermès expertise in the field of saddle- and harness-making, this leather strap was designed like those worn by stable lads, surrounding the pocket watch and adopting its shape so as to provide ideal protection.

 

Skills that find their way through the decades

Reinvented in 2012 under the name “In The Pocket”, this iconic model now returns in a rose gold composition clad in a sophisticated al ligator exterior. A pocket-watch that may be transformed at will into a wristwatch, it embodies both the historical leather hand craftsmanship of Hermès and its watchmak ing development to the point of becoming a full-f ledged Manufacture now in the hands of the seventh generation of the founding family.

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

Issued in a limited edition for Only Watch 2015, the In The Pocket watch is distinguished by its extreme sobriety. The 40 mm diameter of the delicately rounded rose gold case increases to 49 mm when worn on the wrist. Its finely grained silvered dial avoids any superfluous ornamentation so as to provide the clearest, most self-evident expression of time.

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

The baton-type hands sweep over pared-down numerals, while the small seconds ticks round at 3 o’clock, all driven by the Manufacture Hermès H1837 movement with a 50-hour power reserve. Crafted in keeping with the finest horological traditions, this refined self-winding mechanism features a circulargrained and snailed mainplate, while its oscillating weight is adorned with the brand’s signature “sprinkling of Hs” motif.

Leather as a hand-sewn link between past and present

The incredibly complex st rap of the “In The Pocket” model calls for lengthy and patient workmanship. Composed of two longer and shorter sections, the plain strap end and the buckle strap end (sanglon and boucleteau in French), it is hand crafted in the leather-making workshops of La Montre Hermès in Switzerland.

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

These two parts are composed of three layers of leather: alligator; an inner cow grain leather reinforcement ensur ing impeccable sturdiness; and a Zermatt calfskin lining. First comes the cutting process, including layer cutting; the hides are soaked and then pressed into a mould. They dry for 10 days before being cut with a pointed tool, layercut, sanded down and glued. Each of the parts is then partially sewn; the buckle strap end is perforated to free up the spaces that will reveal the dial and through which the plain strap end and the crown will pass.

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

The work continues on the table, with the buckle end and the plain strap end being f itted together, marked with a compass, indented and sewn using the saddlestitching technique. Then comes the f inishing, including hammering the st itching, marking a furrow, dyeing and polishing with beeswax. With infinite patience, one operation after another, the artisans at La Montre Hermès thus lovingly create In The Pocket, a tribute to the watchmaking roots of the Maison.
