HYSEK – ABYSS 44mm Chronographe

















HYSEKABYSS 44mm Chronographe Automatic Titanium 2019

ABYSS
"Two new proposals as sporty as elegant"
In Brief:
The Abyss collection has found a special place in the heart of enthusiast. After the success of its 2014 makeover including blue electric or orange and blue compositions, the Hysek brand is back with two new proposals for its sports line.
-----------
Black and yellow, this new combination is inspired by powerful and nerve-shifting sports. The double yellow marking line is made of veal marquetry. Unique and highly specialized technique consisting in assembling very carefully different pieces of leather according to a precise and seamless pattern. This technique is at the service of a contemporary approach confirming the taste of Hysek for the diversion of know-how to its DNA. The color code is then transferred to the dial, reinforcing the sporty look of the piece.

Dressed « sur mesure » of purple and black, all in elegance, this chronograph tends to impose itself as a staple in the men's wardrobe. Last visible color of the chromatic spectrum, the violet is here associated with black, for a rendering that offers a deep and inspired perception. The bracelet here offers an original composition, alternating between alligator and calf.

Made in Titanium, the case is characterized by its bezel encrusted with a sapphire disk, all firmly secured by a set of six three-point screws, also become a signature aesthetic Hysek. The comfort offered by the lightness of the material is reinforced by the system of pivoting horns which gives the user a great freedom of movement.

The Abyss line has become a reference in sports watches of this new generation. A powerful design, useful complications in everyday life, nerve lines, a robust box: the piece quickly became one of the pillars of the 100% independent manufacture.

Blancpain – VILLERET Quantieme Perpetual Calendar Platinum Edition


















BLANCPAINVILLERET Quantième Perpétual Calendar Platinum Exclusive Boutique Edition


Blancpain Revisits Its Perpetual Calendar 
Exclusively For Its Boutiques

Each year, building on centuries-old watchmaking traditions and craftsmanship, Blancpain creates exceptional timepieces that never fail to impress with their technical and aesthetic characteristics. The Manufacture is now unveiling its must-have Villeret Quantième Perpétuel model. Exclusively available from the brand's boutiques, this platinum watch with a blue dial is issued in an 88-piece limited edition.

Blancpain's Villeret collection symbolizes classicism in its purest form. It embodies the brand's profound attachment to the values of traditional watchmaking, notably conveyed through movements with horological complications such as the perpetual calendar. The latter serves to indicate the day of the week, date, month and leap year without requiring any adjustment until 2100. Endowed with a veritable mechanical memory, perpetual calendar models are some of the exceptional timepieces that Blancpain produces entirely in-house.

The new Villeret Quantième Perpétuel limited-edition timepiece reprises the signature dial layout of Blancpain watches featuring this complication. The information thus appears at 3, 9 and 12 o’clock, along with a moon phase at 6 o’clock as well as a large central seconds hand complementing those showing the hours and minutes.

 These displays are all driven by the self-winding 5954 movement, which Blancpain has been careful to protect against improper handling by means of a security system specially developed for its calendars.

Another distinctive characteristic of Blancpain's complication watches is the smooth and easy adjustment of the indications, and this model duly features under-lug correctors: a patented invention enabling the calendar hands and the moon phase to be moved simply by using a finger to press the small "levers" located on the back of the case. This convenient mechanism also offers an aesthetic advantage, since it leaves the case middle free of the lateral correctors usually found on calendar watches.

The elegant profile of this exclusive model is enhanced by a platinum case with a double-stepped bezel. Measuring 40 mm in diameter and water-resistant to 30 m, it features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal protecting a deep blue dial punctuated by slender white gold hour-markers. Issued in an 88-piece limited edition and available exclusively from Blancpain boutiques worldwide, this timepiece is fitted with a blue alligator leather strap secured by a folding clasp.
