Jaquet Droz – GRANDE SECONDE Moon Black Enamel

Jaquet Droz – GRANDE SECONDE Moon Black Grand Feu Enamel Dial Gold 43mm

A LUNAR MARVEL
A finely crafted timepiece gleaming 

with romance pays homage to the moon.

The Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel tells a story that precedes the dawn of time, harking back to when the Moon was Man’s sole measure of the passing months.

Part of the Grande Seconde collection, this model featuring a black enamel dial is to make its debut at Baselworld 2018. Enhanced with a moon phase complication, the model acknowledges the significance of the lunar cycle to watchmakers, and pays homage to the mysterious and complex choreography that links Earth to Sun and Moon to Earth.

The watch is a technical and artistic triumph, representing the phases of the lunar cycle from the new moon to the last quarter, while staying true to the clean aesthetic of the Grande Seconde collection and the signature Jaquet Droz figure 8. The lunar spectacle of the double-level dial in black Grand Feu enamel – with its applied satin-finish ring, 18-carat red gold star appliques, and 22-carat gold moon crowning a black onyx moon disk – houses an extraordinary treasure of watchmaking.

The self-winding mechanical movement of the watch harnesses the marvelous properties of silicon, one of the most innovative materials in contemporary watchmaking. Silicon is friction-resistant and corrosion-resistant, meaning the moon phase in this Grande Seconde Moon is a “true” Moon.

The fruit of a unique mechanism developed by Jaquet Droz, the moon phase requires correction only once every 122 years. The Grande Seconde Moon Black Enamel is part of a legacy of the most sophisticated watches in existence, and is complemented by an incomparably graceful dial.

Technical prowess enhances the elegance of the timepiece with an 18-carat red gold case and black rolled-edge alligator strap. A hand indicates the date, and the astronomical moon phases at 6 o’clock can be set using the corrector at 8 o’clock.

In this model, Jaquet Droz craftsmanship showcases a sense of wonder and excitement that is rarely experienced. Acknowledging the origins of watchmaking in mystical astral phenomena, it returns to the human desire to make sense of the movements of the stars, which evolved into our present-day marking of time. This model features a diameter of 43 mm and a power reserve of 68 hours. The timepiece promises to delight its owner, unveiling a celestial fragment at every glimpse, and weaving with every second the very fabric of time.

“Some watches tell time, some tell a story.”

Carl F. Bucherer – MANERO Flyback Black Dial Steel 43 mm

MANERO FLYBACK
A MODERN TAKE ON A RETRO STYLE

Carl F. Bucherer is expanding its successful Manero Flyback collection by adding a new retro-style version. The striking chronograph with flyback function is designed for sophisticates wanting to showcase a piece of the pinnacle of the art of Swiss watchmaking from Lucerne. The watch boasts surprising elements such as the bold yet subtle combination of colors on its stainless steel case with silver-colored totalizators, accents of red, and a golden brown kudu-leather strap.

May 2018. The retro style of the Manero Flyback family is highlighted even more with this new edition. Inspired by Carl F. Bucherer models from the 1960s and 1970s, the latest Manero Flyback features a bold yet subtle combination of colors in the form of a black dial with silver-colored totalizators. Fine touches of red complete the harmonious contrast.

The retro style is continued even throughout the new-style strap. The suede finish of the golden brown kudu-leather strap gives it an extremely natural appearance while ensuring optimum comfort for the wearer. The impressive timepiece houses the intricate CFB 1970 chronograph caliber featuring the namesake flyback function.

A Little Piece of Home

Strongly committed to embracing its rich heritage, Carl F. Bucherer launched a global campaign last year featuring the slogan “Wherever time takes you, Lucerne travels with you.

” Those with a truly global net-work who feel at home around the world value the Manero Flyback as a stylish ambassador of the city of Lucerne – a little piece of home that accompanies them wherever they go.

Modern Retro Style

Another version featuring exciting contrasting colors in a subtle stainless steel case is now joining the six unique luxury watches in the Manero Flyback collection. The deep black dial gleams with a sunburst finish, while the recessed, matte silver small-seconds and stop minute subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock provide a striking contrast. Lancet-shaped, polished steel-colored hands that correspond to the appliquéd indices display hours and minutes. An additional unique attribute is the contrast of the red stop second hand and black small-seconds and minutes counter hands.

The printed chapter ring and the tachymeter scale, which allows for speeds to be determined, are painted red and white. The new model’s retro look is completed by a kudu-leather strap in golden brown with a suede finish. As with all the other members of the chronograph collection, the new timepiece shares the typical Manero family design vocabulary – it is classically round with a diameter of 43 millimeters, in line with current trends.

The Art of Swiss Watchmaking

The caliber of the Manero Flyback is the highly complex CFB 1970 chronograph, which can be admired through the see-through sapphire-crystal case back, oscillating at a frequency of 4 hertz or 28,800 beats per hour. This automatic movement boasts a power reserve of 42 hours and features a flyback function that allows for the recording of consecutive times in quick succession.

The recording of short times operates via a thermally blued gear wheel. Time may be fast moving for people who travel the world professionally and privately, but wherever they go, they always have a piece of the pinnacle of the art of Swiss watchmaking from Lucerne on their wrist with a Manero Flyback.
