Ralph Lauren – Slim Classique 32 mm Gold













Ralph Lauren Slim Classique 32 mm Gold NEW

Ralph Lauren introduces new Slim Classique timepieces for the holidays

“I like places and objects that transform us that take us somewhere else for a day, an evening or just a moment. I like the romance of films, cars, Cole Porter tunes and Frank Sinatra songs. They all have one thing in common: they are ageless. They are timeless.”
Ralph Lauren

The Ralph Lauren Slim Classique collection presents timepieces that epitomize sophistication and elegance, with exquisite guilloché decoration, masterful gem settings and graceful round silhouettes.

For the 2015 holiday season, Ralph Lauren introduces four new 32mm Slim Classique timepieces showcasing richly colored dials. Translucent blue or purple lacquer on the dial enables one to admire the central “barleycorn” guilloché décor. This aesthetic signature offers a striking contrast between classical design codes and vibrant contemporary colors. The bezel of each model is adorned with either this same guilloché décor or a row of 60 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Crafted in 18K rose gold, these new timepieces are accentuated by gold Breguet-style hour and minute hands, which are set among gold Roman numerals.

The perfectly round and superbly thin cases display polished casebacks — ideal for personalized engraving — and host Swiss quartz calibers for carefree maintenance.

HYT – H2 AVIATOR Titanium DLC Limited Edition















HYT H2 AVIATOR Titanium DLC Limited Edition NEW

H2 Aviator: a Lofty Creation for HYT

With an already imposing name, the H2 Aviator is the first time HYT creates a timepiece destined for aviation lovers which each step of its concept designed to satisfy aeronautical codes. The H2 Aviator isn't simply an evolution, it is a true transformation of HYT's iconic H2 launched in 2013, a piece easily distinguishable by its 'V' shaped positioned bellows.

The H2 Aviator is a well thought out design conceived to go the distance over years, to evolve, follow and even anticipate horological trends and to think that our creations are all of this quality, gives me enormous satisfaction.' says HYT CEO Vincent Perriard. 'The H2 transcends different orbs and is now propelled 10,000 feet upward as if it had always been meant for this.'

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


































OPTIMAL LEGIBILITY

The H2's new aviatic garb underlines the piece's legibility, a defining element for all flight instruments. The path and the colour of the minute hand has been redrawn with its quarter hour indexes enlarged and in red.

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





































The central hand underwent the same treatment! Magnified and tipped by a red arrow, a first for HYT. The crown position indicator (H-N-R) located at 3pm is visible via a window that displays the selected function.

To ensure all components shine with maximum visibility they are placed on a DLC treated movement with a satin finish and polished angles. The contrast with the neighbouring chrome is optimal, the reading of the time simple and intuitive.

FURTIVE FUSELAGE

Like all fighter planes the cockpit is functional and extremely visible in this sleek casing. HYT gave priority to a case entirely coated in DLC including the hour indexes that are treated with grey anthracite Super-LumiNova. Consistent with aeronautical codes, the hour is read by a yellow liquid.

 HYT's latest innovation is a new strap covered in in Kevlar (an aramid synthetic fibre with high tensile strength and temperate resistance, a fibre that can be used in extreme conditions such as clothing for racing car pilots, racing sails, and also in the aeronautical and aerospace industry).

ANTOINE PREZIUSO – Tourbillon of Tourbillons Diamond of Diamonds


ANTOINE PREZIUSOTourbillon of Tourbillons Full Diamond of Diamonds Unique Piece NEW


The latest creation by Antoine Preziuso Genève features three tourbillons on a revolving plate, which resonate like three hearts beating in unison. Producing this ‘mechanical ballet’ involved challenges of incredible complexity, notably the creation of a central planetary triple-differential. The result is a timepiece full of poetry: a vibrant homage to the watchmaking’s finest complication.

The Tourbillon of Tourbillons sees Antoine Preziuso write a new chapter in the long history of that most emblematic of watchmaking complications: the Tourbillon.

The tourbillon already defied the laws of gravity – now it plays with the laws of resonance.

The three tourbillons of this exceptional timepiece, arranged around a revolving plate, resonate together – oscillating at a stable frequency like three hearts beating in unison. This technical tour de force, protected by three international patents, is made possible by a differential, installed in the centre of the movement, that required many years of effort, calculations and imagination.

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

The central planetary triple-differential is blend of physical laws and mathematical formulae: the watch’s veritable ‘brain.’ It is of such complexity that no computer programme has succeeded in accurately simulating its way of functioning. It even required the creation of the smallest ball-bearing in the world: scarcely 1.6mm in diameter! The challenges involved were tremendous: the differential has to distribute constant energy from the twin-barrel to the three tourbillons; it must also deliver this energy through the centre without disturbing the axis of the hands; and it must correct any variations of frequency and even, if necessary, adjust as necessary should one of the tourbillons stop working.

The Tourbillon of Tourbillons is a dream Antoine Preziuso has nurtured since 2004. It is also the fruit of 35 years of independent watchmaking – and of an authentic passion Antoine has transmitted to his son Florian, with whom he has collaborated closely to overcome all of the countless technical obstacles that rose up along the way.

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

The association of three tourbillons on a revolving plate gives the timepiece unmatched regularity. It also enriches the Tourbillon of Tourbillons with the symbolism of the figure 3, as in the three dimensions of Time: Past, Present and Future. Each tourbillon completes one rotation around its axis every 60 seconds. All are equidistant from the centre of the plate, which completes six revolutions every hour... another reference to the figure 3 and its multiples. This tribute to measuring time superbly ignores the decimal system in favour of a system founded on the figure 12 – as in the year’s 12 complete lunar phases.

The Tourbillon of Tourbillons is characterized by total respect for the codes of luxury watchmaking. All components are finished and assembled by hand; the plate and tourbillon bridges are made from titanium.

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

Antoine Preziuso has no business plan or even marketing strategy – but what he does have, most of all, is a passion for Haute Horlogerie, to which he is devoted. He strives to transmit DNA to his designs, and is one of those rare, intelligent artists born with special gifts, a love of work and a love of art. He is not content with applying time-honoured watchmaking principles, but seeks above all to discover new ones. As Antoine Preziuso likes to say: whatever is known is finished, whatever is unknown is infinite. He bows to no convention – witness his 35 years of watchmaking independence. His brand’s origins lie in Geneva, yet the designs of his timepieces betray the influence by his Italian roots. When people speak about Antoine Preziuso, they speak about exquisite, made-to-measure Swiss watches and a talent at the frontier of science and art: a world of dreams.

--------------------------------------
Brands
Antoine Preziuso, an independent watchmaker and designer since 1980 who graduated at the top of his class from the Geneva Watchmaking School and is renowned in the field of fine Swiss watch making, created his brand in 1996. He can be credited with many patents including most notably the famous 3Volution, a three-cage tourbillon movement. He is a member of the AHCI (the Horological Academy of Independent Creators) and an apprenticeship supervisor. The philosophy of ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE is based on three main values: independence and creativity, with passion as the driving force behind them.

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

These are the three values that explain the whole structure of the company, as well as its strategic choices. Benefitting from absolute freedom in creative and commercial terms, the watch range can be diversified in an entirely unrestricted manner, through daring to explore new technical and aesthetic solutions and using rare materials such as meteorite. Likewise, the brand’s resolutely high-end positioning enables it to maintain limited production, and thus absolute control over quality, as it relates to the watches themselves as well as to customer relations. Customers are therefore offered a totally personalized service, offered by one set of passionately enthusiastic individuals to another.

Finally, the structure of a company such as ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE, composed of a small team of highly qualified professionals, ensures unrivalled reaction times, in terms of delivery as well as after-sales service. It is by building on these assets and qualities that the Antoine Preziuso Genève brand intends to expand its point-of -sale network in the medium term, based on the current model of a limited number of well-established stores in every continent.

ZENITH – PILOT Type 20 EXTRA SPECIAL



ZENITHPILOT Type 20 EXTRA SPECIAL BRONZE NEW

THE VINTAGE SPIRIT OF A NATURALLY PATINATED BRONZE CASE

The Pilot Type 20 Extra Special with its new bronze case is making a noteworthy entrance into the collection of Zenith aviator watches. Bronze, a particularly resistant non-magnetic copper and tin alloy, acquires a natural patina as it oxidises, thereby accentuating the vintage appeal of this legendary appeal. 

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

Testifying to the pioneering role played by Zenith in developing flight instruments in the early days of aviation, the new Pilot Type 20 Extra Special is endowed with all the original attributes of a pilot’s watch: oversized luminescent Arabic numerals ensuring impeccable readability, as well as a large ratcheted screwed-in crown enabling adjustment with gloved hands.

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

Enhanced by a domed sapphire crystal, its functions are distinctively displayed on a broad matt black dial framed by a minute track, while the imposing Arabic numerals made from blocks of white Super-LumiNova® and the faceted luminescent hands reinforce its vintage elegance and its optimal legibility. At the heart of the generous 45 mm bronze case that is water-resistant to 100 metres beats the automatic Zenith Elite Calibre 679.

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


Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), this accurate and reliable Manufacture-made movement driving central hours, minutes and seconds hands has a 50-hour power reserve. The solid titanium case-back, bearing an etching of Louis Blériot’s plane and adorned with the Zenith Flying Instruments logo, is a vivid reminder of its legendary origins. A rubber-lined Nubuck strap fitted with a titanium pin buckle sets the final touch to this vintage-spirit timepiece made for adventurers with a thirst for wide horizons.
