Hanhart's brand new and strictly limited PIONEER Mk II 80 Jahre Jubilaeum is dedi-cated to a very special anniversary: 80 years of PIONEER Mk II. Exactly 80 years ago, the historical model served as one of the first pilot's chronographs. Today, the PIO-NEER Mk II 80 Jahre Jubilaeum combines the unique features of the past with the green colors of the Black Forest. This special model is limited to 200 pieces!

The Hanhart PIONEER Mk II 80 Jahre Jubilaeum - made with attention to detail as a tribute to the historic Mk II with the famous "Calibre 41" movement from 1940.

In 1940 the production of the two-pusher model “Calibre 41” started. The large crown and the asymmetrical pusher distance were already then typical Hanhart characteris-tics and still are today. Other features were: black dial with luminous numbers, reces-sed seconds, and 30 minutes counter, luminous hands, nickel-plated movement with screw balance and Incabloc shock protection.

All Hanhart chronographs from the PIONEER collection have a stainless steel case back. Here, the historical pilot’s watches from the 1940s serve as a model. On this limited special edition, we used a sapphire glass case back for the first time on a PIONEER chronograph to provide a view of the decorated movement with Hanhart ro-tor. The reliable, robust and accurate ETA 7753 serves as the basis.

Behind the sapphire glass case back of the PIONEER Mk II 80 Jahre Jubilaeum, the reliable Calibre ETA 7753 works in best Swiss Made quality. In addition to the chro-nograph function, it offers a power reserve of up to 42 hours. The decorated move-ment has a pearl cut (special circular pattern) and blue colored screws.

80 years of history in a 40 mm case. The red pusher is made of robust HyCeram® and the pusher distance is asymmetrically arranged, like 80 years ago. To give the anniversary chronograph an unmistakable design, inspired by the Black Forest, green was chosen as the color of the dial and the case has a matt sandblasted finish.

The hands and numerals of the limited PIONEER Mk II 80 Jahre Jubilaeum are coated with Super-LumiNova® greenline C1. This ensures optimal readability at day and night time.

A new Villeret Extraplate Boutique Edition

Blancpain presents a new Boutique Edition of its Villeret Extraplate watch. This timepiece features a yellow gold case framing a green dial – a first in the Villeret collection.

Blancpain’s native village of Villeret lends its name to the most classic collection from the Brand. Anchored in tradition, these models personify the roots of the Manufacture and embody its primary aesthetic choices. The purity of their lines and the slenderness of their double-stepped cases express the essence of horology with timeless elegance.

The Villeret Extraplate Boutique Edition reveals these codes in a new light. Blancpain's traditional cut-out sage leaf-shaped hands sweep over a dial that is green for the very first time. This shimmering new colour with its sunburst finish is paired with a 40 mm-diameter yellow gold case housing Blancpain's 1151 calibre.

While the latterappears simple at first glance, the complex construction of this mechanism stems from a balancing act that involves achieving the most pleasing slenderness while guaranteeing accuracy and reliability.

The experience and expertise cultivated by Blancpain, which designs and produces all its calibres in-house, enables it to offer a high-performance movement measuring a mere 3.25 mm thick.

The Manufacture has of course made no compromises when it comes to user-friendliness: the hours and minutes indications are complemented by a large central seconds hand and a date window, while the self-winding calibre boasts a four-day power reserve. And all this within an 8.7 mm-thick case.

The new Villeret Extraplate Boutique Edition is a dainty watch. The front expresses the refinement of this timepiece through the dial finish as well as the hand-applied hour-markers; while its elegance shines through the back on bridges adorned with a Côtes de Genève pattern as well as an oscillating weight featuring a honeycomb motif.
