NEUHAUSJANUS DoubleSpeed-Sport ROMAN mono-hand Black PVD Coated Limited Edition NEW

Manuel Neuhaus, born in 1959 in Hamburg, Germany, he starts a ”regular“ school career, but decides to abandon high school during tenth grade and become a photographer instead.

After apprenticeship he works several years as a freelance painter and designer, but for all that earns his living during night shifts with one of Munich´s first graphic computers. Some years and two computer graphic companies later he decides to become self-employed in 1992.

After long-term and up to this day very successful activity as a media designer, in 2007 he starts to become interested in watches and, very soon, also for their design and especially in watch face design. First concepts are drawn. In 2008 he visits the Basel World and as a result the idea of creating an own brand for a new watch line rises.

In January 2010, NEUHAUS Inventing Timepieces was launched. The company represents quality, innovation and unconventional solutions. Neuhaus: ”Before producing watches all about, we prefer not making any.“

Expect the unexpected....


German watch brand Neuhaus presents a new version Limited Edition of their extraordinary JANUS DoubleSpeed-Sport ROMAN mono-hand watch with a black dial with the Roman figures.

The small but fine watch brand NEUHAUS Timepieces presented at this year's Munich Time before a new model of their JANUS collection. It involves one-hand watches, which run at twice the speed and are therefore read much better. The new JANUS called Double SpeedSport and comes with a high quality PVD coated black casing. The accompanying Milanaise band is also coated pitch-black and to obtain in this version only with NEUHAUS. Alternatively, there is a black silicone tape. If even black but then really, it was thought at NEUHAUS and donated the clock a rare, also completely black coated ETA Unitas factory (6498).

The sporty character is the new model not only visually accessible, but also by the depth doubled to 100 meters or 10 ATM. Like all watches in NEUHAUS is strictly limited and ours. There will be only 99 pieces of them worldwide. The eye-catching clock has a high quality finish and is exclusively produced in Germany. She has the same unusual features as her sister models. A super ergonomic crown with integrated rubber ring, an innovative gear indication at 6 clock that shows at a glance whether the clock is ticking. And massive luminosity at night, by the extra large Superluminova dots on the dial ring

NEUHAUS Logo
One of the mayor defining features of course is the NEUHAUS logo inside the watch. It is designed in a noble 3D effect in shiny silver. The reversed N causes a petite aha-effect. Like this, the company already uses its logo the present its objectives.

Dial with running indication and night vision

JANUS DoubleSpeedSport´s top guideline is to keep watches suitable for every day´s use. It has an optimally designed face with easily legible numbers, coated with white superluminova colour which luminaires bluish in nightview..
There is also an additional ring with luminous indexing for quarter-, half- and complete hours. The ring is made of matt steel, the white colour can only be seen properly when really needed - in night vision. The watch ows its name to this ”two-faced“ visual appearance: JANUS.

Acceleration instead of deceleration

The 
JANUS Double Speed-Sport is an innovative mono hand watch which runs at double speed, meaning that the indicator goes round the complete clockface in only six hours.

As a result, the available space indicating one hour, is doubled from 30 to 60 degrees. improving the preciseness of time reading drastically. Put into practise, this means virtually down-to-the-minute exact indication of time. In this sense, the Double-Speed is the most accurate mono handed watch in the world, that is to say the most exact readable.zeiger-uhr der Welt, nämlich die am genauesten ablesbare.
Like in real life, good things do not go cheap. The owner of the time piece not only needs to know if it is e.g. 7am or 7pm, like with any normal watch. But he will also need to differ between 7am or 1pm. The difference turns out to be only 6 hours. Nevertheless, most people probably are in the position to handle this technique.


Design
A simple und functional appearance is beautiful all by itself - and a brilliant design is not the replacement but always the consequence of function.
According to this maxim, we design our NEUHAUS watches. A collection must be self-contained, coherent and consistent. We dislike overlapping brand designs, where all watches look the same.
Exceptions from this rule are the trademarks, that you‘ll find on each NEUHAUS.

High class Milanaise bracelet
This high grade Milanaise bracelet goes excellently with the design of the watch. It has a butterfly watch clasp, which the NEUHAUS label is engraved on. Alternatively we offer a black leather bracelet.

NEUHAUS quality and eclusivity 
Always at present - the quality of our watches, which we ensure cooperating only with the most renowned suppliers in Germany and Switzerland.

ETA UNITAS movement with modifications
Literally the grand classic amongst modern handwinding movements. 36,6 mm diameter, the perfect match for our large watch.
Why handwinding? Each morning you wind up your watch and put it on, it is like you had a chat with it, you feel its inner workings and sensitivities and creates a connection. What is more, with our crown the winding up will become one of your favourite activities.

HYSEK – VERDICT Double Tourbillon Titanium Limited Edition














HYSEKVERDICT Double Tourbillon Titanium Limited Edition NEW

VERDICT 46MM DOUBLE TOURBILLON WITH BLUE SAPPHIRE DIAL
FINE WATCHMAKING’S LATEST HIGHLIGHTS

The metallic sapphire dial was first unveiled by Hysek in 2003, but it’s still a relatively new feature in the world of haute horlogerie. This iridescent treatment, when applied to a sapphire crystal dial, will create a tint producing virtually any hue of highlights imaginable, resulting in a cast of subtle color variations for the movement it houses. By pushing the boundaries of this metallizing sapphire technique, Hysek expands its creative universe with the new Verdict Double Tourbillon with Blue Sapphire Dial.
































AN UNPRECEDENTED DEVELOPMENT

Back in 2003, Hysek created a sensation with the X-Ray tourbillon, closely followed by the XX-Ray double tourbillon. These pioneering models opened up a unique path alongside traditional sapphire backs, offering a sapphire glass placed on the dial side, complete with a metallic color treatment.

Twelve years later, the fruit of the manufacture’s ongoing research has emerged: the Verdict Double Tourbillon, featuring a blue sapphire dial. Hysek worked for two years on a new process, to give the dials a more pervasive color and add matching highlights to complement the dominant colors. The Verdict Double Tourbillon with its blue sapphire dial is the embodiment of this research, boasting a color range that is now richer and deeper than ever before.

DISTINCTLY ILLUMINATING

The choice of this particular timepiece to benefit from the new treatment was anything but random. On the dial side, the manufacture movement of the watch is revealed in its entirety. Apart from the two tourbillons, the whole upper side of the timepiece is enveloped by the new iridescent sapphire, gracing it with yellow, blue and orange highlights. Together, they enliven every detail of the manufacture’s caliber, carrying the light to the depths of the workings, the polished angles of each bridge, and along every line of the Rose des Vents pattern.

ABOUT THE VERDICT DOUBLE TOURBILLON

TWICE AS PRECISE AS A TRADITIONAL MOVEMENT
The 46 mm Verdict Double Tourbillon reflects the Hysek Manufacture’s specific knowhow, blending watchmaking and creative audacity. Designed, produced and assembled by Hysek’s master watchmakers, the double tourbillon has more than 331 parts. Independent from each other, both tourbillons are, however, joined together by a central differential, which distributes force evenly to each of the two balances. This mechanism allows regulation of the tourbillons’ speed, and hence the movement’s rate becomes the average of the rate of each tourbillon. In other words, the twin tourbillons double the accuracy of the caliber.

DOUBLE TOURBILLON, DOUBLE MICRO-ROTOR

To go with its double tourbillon, Hysek added to its movement a double micro-rotor in rose gold and platinum. Smaller than a standard rotor and coupled by a single ceramic ball-bearing, avoiding lubrication of the movement, Hysek’s emblematic mechanism actually maximizes the visibility of the movement while boosting its winding power.

According to Mr. Akram Aljord, Hysek’s CEO, The HW06, the first ever automatic double tourbillon, is a fantastic way to simultaneously express our bold creativity and technical know-how.”

With further attention to detail, Hysek has endowed the caliber with hand finishings similar to Poinçon de Genève, including a Rose des Vents pattern on the plate.

Following the inaugural and exclusive edition of eight pieces in 18k rose gold, the Verdict Double Tourbillon is now available in Grade 5 titanium. The sapphire crystal dial and its unpredictable shades offer a pleasing contrast to the interplay of polished and satin-brushed finishes on the case. Hysek’s final touch to complete the overall effect is an opening at one o’clock, providing an easy view of the date.
As for the first edition, just eight of these 46 mm Verdict Double Tourbillon watches are being made in Grade 5 titanium.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Model: 46 mm VERDICT Double Tourbillon Titanium limited Edition


MOVEMENT
  • The Hysek HW06 caliber has been designed, produced and assembled in-house.

  • The movement features the first-ever automatic double tourbillon:
o    Independent of each other, both tourbillons are coupled by a central differential, which distributes force evenly to each of the two balances.
o    This differential thus regulates the speed of each tourbillon.
o    The accuracy of the double tourbillon is doubled as a result of the movement’s rate being the average of the rate of each tourbillon.
  • The double micro-rotor is Hysek’s signature on its automatic calibers.
o    Hysek’s double micro-rotor is made of two small oscillating weights. The first one, in 22k rose gold, is placed on the dial side, while the second one, on the back of the movement, is crafted in platinum, a precious and heavy metal chosen for its increased winding potential.
o    Both micro-rotors are coupled by a single ceramic ball-bearing, avoiding lubrication thus improving long term performance.  
o    One of the key advantages of the double micro-rotor is esthetic. Indeed, it does not obstruct half of the movement, like standard rotors do, but does offer the chance to discover the movement's peerless fine finishing.
o    With an autonomy of 45 +/- two hours, the double tourbillon can be fully wound in less than three hours.
  • The date is displayed at one o’clock and can be adjusted by a push button positioned at two o’clock.
  • In its department dedicated solely to movement decoration, Hysek’s HW06 caliber is finished according to the highest haute horlogerie standards. Using a mix of traditional techniques and modern methods, Hysek’s craftsmen have given to this movement a contemporary look, combining the brand’s hallmark Rose des vents compass rose finish on the dial side with a more classical Côte de Genève decoration visible through the sapphire case back.
  • The HW06 is made of 331 components and 44 jewels.
  • Frequency: 28’800 VpH
CASE
  • The 46mm diameter round case of the Verdict Double Tourbillon is proposed in Grade 5 titanium. An 18k rose gold version is also available.
  • The open-worked sapphire dial reveals the various movement’s components. Thanks to a specific process that took two years to perfect, the iridescent sapphire graces the timepiece with yellow, blue and orange highlights.
  • The sapphire crystal is treated with anti-reflection coatings on both sides.
  • The timepiece is water resistant to 30m.
  • The Verdict Double Tourbillon comes with a fold-over buckle and a black alligator strap that subtly underlines its timeless elegance.
  • The titanium Double Tourbillon is proposed in a limited edition of eight numbered pieces, Hysek’s lucky number.
