CASIO – EDIFICE EQB-600

CASIO – EDIFICE EQB-600 3D Globe Dial NEW

Casio to Release EDIFICE with Inset Dial
Featuring Planet Earth Motif

Links to a Smartphone and Supports New Accurate Time System;
Imaginative World Time Display

Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today that it will release the new EQB-600D watch, the latest addition to the EDIFICE series of high-performance watches that combine dynamic styling with cutting-edge technology. The EQB-600D links to a smartphone and boasts a new multidimensional inset dial featuring an Earth motif that delivers the next step in the evolution of world time through an imaginative display.

Casio introduced the Global Time Sync concept to drive development of analog watches for
today’s global age. Under Global Time Sync, Casio has developed G-SHOCK and OCEANUS
watches with GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor technology that receives both GPS satellite and radio
wave time calibration signals, and EDIFICE watches that link with a smartphone to set the time for
some 300 cities across the world. These watches are gaining acclaim as advanced time keeping
systems that deliver accurate time anywhere in the world.

The EQB-600D features 3D Globe Dial, a dome-shaped multidimensional inset dial with an Earth
motif that displays the world time in an imaginative and aesthetically pleasing way. The finely
detailed Earth motif is realized using the advanced molding techniques of Yamagata Casio Co.,
Ltd., the production base of Casio in Japan. A polarized deposition finish makes the color change
at different viewing angles, adding further refinement to the watch.

3D Globe Dial works in conjunction with the world time shown on the inset dial at the 8 o’clock
position, and it gradually rotates once every 24 hours just like Earth. The curved inset dial hand
indicates the time zone for the world time city. When the inset dial hand is in the upper half of the
3D Global Dial, it indicates that it is nighttime (between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.) in that time zone,
and when in the lower half, it indicates that it is daytime (between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.) in that
time zone. This provides a visual daytime and nighttime indication, in addition to the time
indication.

Casio developed the Accurate Time System, which further extends the time-setting features when
linked to a smartphone. This system is incorporated into the CASIO Watch+ smartphone app,
which links with the EQB-600D. The system connects to Internet time servers which supply time
data, matching the data to a proprietary map database to obtain accurate times by extracting time
zone data in the current location and daylight savings data.

The EDIFICE EQB-600D delivers accurate time with innovative features that evoke the unceasing
flow of time around the world.

CHOPARD – L.U.C Perpetual Twin Chronometer

CHOPARD – L.U.C Perpetual Twin Chronometer NEW

New movement launched in steel case
L.U.C Perpetual Twin: A classic complication at great value

When Chopard launched their first L.U.C manual wind chronograph calibre simultaneously in a rose gold case and steel case for the L.U.C 1963 Collection, it was the first time a new L.U.C movement had been launched in a steel case, albeit simultaneously with the customary inaugural rose gold version. For 2016, the 20th anniversary of the L.U.C Collection, Chopard surprises us with a new L.U.C movement launched in a steel case! 

For 20 years, Chopard Manufacture has created the L.U.C collection: unique, finely crafted timepieces redolent with modernity, while respectful of Swiss watchmaking traditions. This year, Chopard is shakes up the classic codes of complicated Haute Horlogerie by introducing the new L.U.C Perpetual Twin: an all-steel chronometer-certified perpetual calendar.

This year, the Chopard welcomes a classic, haute horlogerie perpetual calendar complication to its well established L.U.C collection that has been offering unique, finely crafted timepieces imbued with a resolutely modern touch while respectful of Swiss watchmaking traditions.

The new L.U.C Perpetual Twin, an all-steel chronometer-certified perpetual calendar, is endowed with the mechanical excellence of Chopard complications while housing its perpetual calendar movement within a stainless steel 43 mm case: it thereby combines versatility and modernity while remaining loyal to the stringent quality standards of the L.U.C collection.

The L.U.C Perpetual Twin offers a new approach to the perpetual calendar ensuring maximum readability. A large twin-aperture date display, a flagship complication of the L.U.C collection, is positioned at 12 o’clock, while the days and months each have their own dedicated outsized subdial. Finally, the year indication has been miniaturised and offset to the months dial.

The February indication location reveals whether or not the year is a leap year like 2016 will be. With its incomparable style and its hand-sewn black alligator leather strap, the L.U.C Perpetual Twin asserts itself at first glance through a strong aesthetic picking up the key characteristics of the L.U.C collection.

Large polished and raised Roman numerals run around the rim of the silver-toned dial, while a finely sunburst motif radiates from the L.U.CHOPARD logo. Alternating matt and polished finishes create a delightful shimmering effect on this new and original timepiece.

 A new superbly crafted movement

A calendar is said to be perpetual if it displays the exact date in all circumstances. It mechanically calculates and shows the duration of months variously lasting 28, 29, 30 and 31 days. Its mode of operation calls for extremely sophisticated construction and adjustment so as to remain consistently accurate

Based on the micro-rotor technique coupled with two barrels (patented Twin® technology), this calibre supplies the watch with a comfortable 58-hour power reserve. In keeping with the quality demands of the manufacture, the movement is finished in accordance with the highest aesthetic standards. Its components are all hand-bevelled and their surface is either circular-grained or adorned with a Côtes de Genève motif, depending on their position within this distinguished mechanism.

Finally, its chronometric rating precision is certified by the COSC, reflecting the determination of Chopard Co-President, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, who devotes great importance to independent certification of the timekeeping precision achieved by L.U.C watches.

Total mastery

Movement construction, product design, gold smelting, case stamping and machining, movement components, traditional hand-crafted decorations, surface treatments, polishing, assembly, movement adjustment and quality control: all operations involved in watch production are performed in-house by Chopard.

The Maison applies them to the making of each watch in the L.U.C collection paying tribute to the founder whose initials it bears: Louis-Ulysse Chopard. Profoundly attached to the pure lines and the subtle details that made his watches such highly sought-after items, Louis-Ulysse Chopard back in his days already knew how to attire gentlemen with beautiful pocket-watches.
