HYT – SKULL Axl Rose Back DLC Titanium Limited Edition NEW

Welcome to the Skull Jungle!

The legendary Guns N’ Roses singer, and recent touring as the frontman for AC/DC, has already revealed his love of HYT, regularly sporting the Skull. Now, Axl and HYT have launched a limited edition exclusively designed by the artist.

Axl Rose, a founding member of Guns N’ Roses and probably one of the most uncompromising and respected rock artists of the last 30 years, really has nothing left to prove.

The much-loved singer has made his mark in rock history thanks to his unmistakeable voice.

Non-conformist and provocative, Axl Rose has chosen a HYT to adorn his wrist. For several months, Axl has been seen wearing the Skull model, most notably during the recent explosive AC/DC shows and the blockbuster Guns N’ Roses Not in this Lifetime world tour. The Skull Maori was his preferred version. But was he really going to stop there...?

Sweet Child of Axl

“We went backstage the last time AC/DC played in Bern," recalls Vincent Perriard, co-founder of HYT. “He already knew the brand and its innovative, rock'n'roll spirit. He wasted no time in conceiving his own model, whose spirit was very well defined when we discussed it with him. We have created it for him. This is his watch, exactly as he designed it. We are particularly proud of it."

Rocket Queen

The Skull Axl Rose is a custom model created by Axl Rose. The artist chose a Skull base which, under his direction, was given a Damascus steel style treatment. In addition, he requested that this was given a blue treatment. For a complementary touch, Axl opted same colour for all the indexes applied around the Skull.

Finally, he chose to affix two side plates to the piece (at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock), decorated with the Clous de Paris pattern and also finished in blue PVD. The piece has a resolutely rock'n'roll feel, with a bold strap featuring blue topstitching.

On the back, HYT pays tribute to the rock icon in the form of the legendary Guns N’ Roses logo. Underneath this sits the singer's signature on the metallised sapphire case-back.

The piece, which features a 51 mm DLC titanium case with microblasted finishes, will be available in December 2016 in an extremely limited edition of just 25 pieces.

TUDOR – Pelagos LHD

UDOR – PELAGOS LHD Titanium NEW

INTRODUCING TUDOR PELAGOS LHD

The TUDOR Pelagos technica diver's watch is now available in a “left-handed” version. Equipped with TUDOR manufacture movement and featuring a black dial and black bezel, each model is numbered.

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

In a nod to its past, TUDOR is now offering the Pelagos model in a “left-handed” version, with its winding stem on the left of the middle case so that it can be worn on the right wrist. TUDOR had already produced watches of this type at the specific request of diving professionals, for example for the French Navy.

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

Divers’ watches, intended to be worn specifically on the right wrist, require specific ergonomic characteristics. Before the advent of this watch, left -handed divers could be seen wearing their watch turned upside down on their right wrist and were only able to use the minutes elapsed calculating function, leaving the dominant hand free to access the winder. The introduction of this new model into the Pelagos line, named LHD for Le Hand Drive, means that TUDOR is able to offer a complete range of technical divers’ watches at the same time as bringing a little-known part of its product development history to light.

NUMBERED SERIES

In keeping with the finest traditions of giving tool- watches dedicated reference numbers, Pelagos LHD is produced as a numbered series.

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

Each model has a unique production number engraved in large Arabic numerals on the case back. This is a first for TUDOR.

A NEW DIAL

The dial of this new Pelagos watch has been reworked with beige luminescent markings and the name “PELAGOS” in red at 6 o’clock. The calendar disc, in beige too, also comes in a new design, with its numbers displayed in alternate colours: the even days are displayed in red and the odd in black.

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

This aesthetic detail, nicknamed “roulette” by collectors, was especially characteristic of TUDOR divers’ watches with its dial and “snowflakes” hands that first appeared in reference 7021 in 1969. In the same vein, the unidirectional rotatable bezel in ceramic has beige luminescent markings to match those of the dial.

TUDOR MT5612-LHD MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT 

WITH WINDING STEM ON THE LEFT

This is a specific variant of the TUDOR manufactured movement developed for the Pelagos LHD model. Displaying hours, minutes and seconds functions, it bears the reference MT5612-LHD, where “MT” stands for “Mouvement TUDOR”. In 2015, TUDOR announced its first mechanical movement to have been developed, manufactured and assembled in-house.

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

A high-performance calibre of superb precision and proven robustness, it offers a 70-hour power reserve, meaning that the wearer can, for example, take o the watch on Friday evening and put it on again on Monday morning without having to rewind it.

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

Beating to a frequency of 28,800 beats/ hour or 4 Hz, it is regulated by a variable inertia oscillator with a silicon balance spring and held in place by a traversing bridge, a guarantee of its robustness. Furthermore, it is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) in positions in which it is worn with the winding stem on the left.

PATENTED SELF-ADJUSTING BUCKLE

The Pelagos model is also characterised by its titanium bracelet with a steel folding clasp equipped with a sprung self-adjustment mechanism developed and patented by TUDOR.

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

This ingenious system enables the automatic adjustment of the bracelet when diving, by contracting when the diving suit is subjected to compression at depth, thus reducing thickness and, conversely, by expanding when the pressure lessens as the diver comes back up again.

An additional black rubber strap with an extension link so that the watch can be worn with all types of diving suit is also included.

CASED IN TITANIUM

Titanium’s natural qualities explain its choice for the case and bracelet of the TUDOR Pelagos. Light and only 60% of the weight of stainless steel for the same volume, it is also very resistant to the corrosion caused by seawater.

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

The matt appearance of its entirely satin finish, its technological overtones and its colour all serve as an excellent means of communicating the technical vocation of this watch in terms of its design.

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

Like its case and bracelet, the TUDOR MT5612 movement with which the TUDOR Pelagos is equipped also has matt finishings – sand-blasted, machine-tooled or with a sunray finish suggestive of robustness, precision, reliability and a high level of technological expertise.

WATERPROOF TO 500 METRES (1,640 FT) WITH AUTOMATIC 

HELIUM ESCAPE VALVE

The waterproofness of the Pelagos model is guaranteed up to 500 metres (1,640 ft) and has been systematically tested to 125% of its capacity, that is, to 625 metres (2,050 ). This extreme waterproofness is coupled with an automatic helium escape valve, an indispensable device designed to safeguard the watch during “saturation” dives.

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

 This diving technique involves saturating the bodies of divers with a mixture of helium and oxygen gases, enabling them to alternate periods of underwater activity with periods of rest in a hyperbaric chamber so as to avoid very long phases of decompression during the dive.

The helium atom is the smallest gas particle in existence. It manages over time to penetrate the inside of a watch in spite of its waterproofness. In this case, the automatic helium escape valve enables the helium gas to escape from the watch freely during the decompression phase – much shorter than the immersion – without damaging it during the dive.

Without this type of system, the excessive pressure created inside the watch by the presence of a large number of helium atoms would cause it to explode during decompression.

HUBLOT – Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto Platinum Edition

HUBLOT – Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto Platinum 45 Limited Edition

Hublot affixes the patina of platinum onto the legendary Berluti leather

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

Combining a rare metal with exceptional leather, Hublot offers a platinum setting for its CLASSIC FUSION BERLUTI SCRITTO model. More pure, more dense and more precious than gold, platinum was considered by Louis XIV as the only metal fit for a king. This bespoke piece fuses the famous shoemaker Berluti’s heritage with the Hublot Manufacture’s mastery of metals and materials.

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

Berluti’s Venezia Scritto leather, with exclusive tanning — resulting from Olga Berluti's inventiveness — dresses the strap and the dial of the CLASSIC FUSION BERLUTI SCRITTO PLATINUM. Thanks to a complex and delicate process developed in collaboration with Berluti, the leather’s organic elements have been neutralised to preserve all the living beauty of this natural hide, now rendered inalterable within the waterproof case of a Hublot watch.

From its modelling to its shaping, its cut and its assembling, each and every piece of the strap and the dial have been created using the same mineral and vegetable tanning rituals as Berluti shoes. The Calfskin, in shades of brown Tobacco, has been engraved with writings inspired by 18th-century calligraphy. The exceptional piece features a case and bezel in precious platinum and a crown in white gold bearing the Hublot logo.

A combination of expertise and attention to detail has achieved symmetry of perfect nuances between the leather of the dial and the strap. A challenge and a symbol of excellence the Classic Fusion Berluti Scritto Platinum unite the destiny of the two houses.

HOURSTRIKER PIN-UP

Celebrated Manufacture Ulysse Nardin Seduces Collectors with a Limited Edition Hourstriker Pin-Up.

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

The delightful daring of the burlesque dancer is brought alluringly to life by the craft of Swiss watchmaker Ulysse Nardin. In a limited edition of 28 rose gold and platinum timepieces, each edition features miniature painting on the dial and Jaquemarts to highlight the hourstriker function.

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

This charming and delicate figure gazes seductively out at the viewer, posing in her high heel sandals with a flower in her hair and her modesty barely hidden by the colorful explosion of peacock feathers. They are the result of the unique skill of the in-house miniature painters at Ulysse Nardin.

Acrylic colors are applied and mixed direct-ly on the dial, as the tiniest details erupt to life through the use of extremely delicate brushes. Depending on their complexity, their meticulously detailed creations can take between 50 and 90 hours to com-plete. The finished dials are sublime works of art, highly prized by collectors and art-lovers alike.

Enveloped by the extravagance of the peacock’s tail and wing, the sensual curves of our mysterious dancer are revealed by the hourstriker function, when they sweep back to expose her beauty. This complication – one of the most intricate in mechanical timekeeping – comes alive on the hour, the half-hour and whenever the push-button is activated by the wearer. One of the first manufacturers to lead the revival of the hourstriker mechanism, Ulysse Nardin is also one of its undisputed creative masters, and one of the few to employ Jaquemarts to set them off.
