Breguet - Marine GMT 5857
















Breguet - Marine GMT 5857   NEW


This year, Breguet’s Marine collection gains an unprecedented timezone model in a steel or rose gold case. The timezone of this Marine GMT watch, a function that frequent travellers find most useful, is shown by the two central hands. A chapter ring of hours, off-centre at 6 o'clock, shows the reference time. An aperture for the dates in the reference timezone makes the watch even more practical.

The distinguishing features of the Marine GMT 5857 include the tough and action-ready character emanating from its 42 mm diameter case, its welded lugs, rubber strap and guards protecting the crown. In contrast, the dial is engine-turned in a wave pattern on silvered gold for the steel version and on blackened rhodium for the model in rose gold, the sophistication of which is underlined by finely interlaced circles.

The hours chapters are also differentiated by Roman numerals for the reference time and Arabic numerals for the timezone. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the selfwinding calibre 517F movement of 11½ lignes with a power reserve of 72 hours. The use of silicon for the inverted in-line lever escapement and the flat balance-spring ensures a stable rate from a balance vibrating 28,800 times an hour.

IWC - Aquatimer Deep Two


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



With its mechanical depth gauge, the Aquatimer Deep Two offers maximum safety and security. Water-resistant to 12 bar, the watch contains a complete backup system that permits the diver to measure and plan vital parameters such as dive depth and time in the event of a dive computer failure.

 Two indicators show current depth and the maximum depth reached in the course of the dive (down to 50 metres) on a white scale. The blue indicator moves to show the actual dive depth, while the red one remains static at the maximum depth attained during the dive. The pressure metering system is located on the left-hand side of the case.

The Aquatimer Deep Two has an enormous 46-millimetre stainless-steel case that houses a 30110-calibre automatic movement with central seconds, date display and 42-hour power reserve. The steel back is decorated with an elaborate relief engraving of a diving helmet. The further improved stainless-steel bracelet now also features a double push-button safety clasp.

Depth Gauge

With the further-developed depth gauge mechanism, the Aquatimer Deep Two is able to display actual and maximum depths during a dive down to 50 metres. The pressure metering system is housed in a crown on the left-hand side of the case. Water pressure enters the system through miniscule holes in the cover of the depth gauge crown, where it acts upon a spring membrane and pushes a shaft towards the interior of the case.
This movement activates a system of levers and, after transmission through a wheel train at the centre of the watch, moves the gauge’s two indicators. While the blue indicator moves to show current dive depth, the red one remains at the maximum depth attained in the course of the dive, prevented by a pawl from returning to its original position. The maximum depth indicator can be reset to zero by pressing a button next to the depth gauge crown.

Richard Mille - RM 011 Polo de Deauville Flyback Chronograph
















Richard Mille - RM 011 Polo de Deauville Flyback Chronograph Limited Edition NEW


The Richard Mille Polo Team wins Deauville Gold Cup


Richard Mille polo team wins the Deauville Gold Cup after defeating hosts Royal Barriere 15 to 14 in a thrilling performance by both teams.

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



























More than 900 people gathered in Deauville, one of the most prestigious seaside resorts in France, to attend what was expected to be a highly competitive match. Scores were very close until Richard Mille prevailed 14 to 12 at the last chukker with two penalties converted by Pablo Mac Donough. Royal Barriere’s fierce fight back levelled the score 14–all just when the match went into overtime. A hard fought extra chukker led to a 60-yards penalty for Richard Mille and declared the team’s victory.

Richard Mille team, at its second consecutive season in high goal-polo, was composed by patron P.M. Bahar Jefri (1 goal), Oliver Cudmore (4 goal), Guillermo Willington (7 goal) and Argentinean Pablo Mac Donough (10 goal), partner of the Richard Mille brand.

To celebrate its presence in Deauville, Richard Mille presents a limited edition of 20 pieces, the ‘RM 011 Polo de Deauville Flyback Chronograph’ available this summer at selected Richard Mille retailers in Europe, MiddleEast, Africa and Russia.

The RM 011 Polo de Deauville comes in a white gold case with a titanium DLC-treated caseband and black rubber strap finished with a buckle in white gold and titanium. The piece takes its inspiration from the colour palette of the Deauville International Polo Club in the choice of case material and details in the dial. The club’s logo is engraved on the rear sapphire glass, whilst red details on the sub-dial numbers and on the pushers complete the sleek look of this exceptional timepiece.

The RM 011 Polo de Deauville will come in a special limited edition box customised to match the edition number of each timepiece. The box also contains a second strap in black alligator with red stitching.

Girard-Perregaux - ww.TC Chronograph













Girard-Perregaux - ww.TC Chronograph NEW



Although one of Girard-Perregauxs great classics, the chronograph ww.tc keeps up with the times. Combining practicality, design and technical sophistication, the main feature of the dial is contrast, an approach that highlights the watch’s strength of character and complexity while at the same time offering perfect legibility.

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






































There is no doubt, time is complex. And so is the iconic Girard Perregaux ww.tc chronograph. The world time function provides a simultaneous display of all time zones on its dial, as well as date and small second, a chronograph function and a day/night indicator. In order to achieve even clearer legibility, Girard-Perregaux has improved the dial details and accentuated the color contrasts. Legibility benefits from a thoughtfully laid out dial, with the temporal information well-arranged and organized.

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






































The result is a supremely practical watch with a more sporty style, while still retaining the elegance and sophistication that characterize the collection. The silver-finish multi-level dial excels itself in its coloring contrasting black and white, while red focuses the eye on the key elements. The indices, figures and hours and minutes hands are enhanced with a luminescent material. The day/night indicator is instantly identifiable, as are the chronograph counters which are finished in black.

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




































The steel case, 43 mm in diameter and water resistant to 30 metres, houses a Manufacture GP033C0 movement which combines a chronograph and a world time indicator. Its exclusive system is based on a coupling mechanism featuring a ring that indicates 24 time zones for 24 named cities. This 13’’’ automatic winder caliber has a 46 hour power reserve. The workmanship, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, is hand finished in the purest traditions of watch-making: the plate features circular graining, the bridges and oscillating weight host the Côtes de Genève embellishment, and the steel screws are blued.

Panerai - PAM 396 Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Ceramica


Panerai - PAM 396 Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large ize ...

The Luminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Ceramica is a watch of great character, offering not only the complex, sophisticated tourbillon regulator mechanism patented by Officine Panerai – with a balance which rotates on its own axis in a period of 30 seconds, thus correcting any possible errors due to the force of gravity – but also the indication of a second time zone and the visual display of the power reserve of six days, achieved by three spring barrels connected in series.
 
  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...

The material of which the Luminor 1950 case (48mm in diameter) has been made also expresses the technical mastery of the Officine Panerai manufacture: it is a synthetic ceramic based on zirconium powder which, by means of a complex series of working and finishing processes, acquires a particularly uniform and even matt black appearance, as well as ensuring excellent performance in terms of hardness, resistance to scratches, corrosive agents and high temperatures.
 
  Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...

The black dial has a simple graphic appearance reduced to essentials and is of the classic sandwich structure created in the 1930s by Officine Panerai to achieve the maximum legibility even in conditions of very low light. 

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

The small dial at 3 o’clock provides am/pm indication over 24 hours. The small seconds dial, at 9 o’clock, also contains an original indicator, consisting of a series of dot markers, which is connected to the tourbillon and therefore moves at twice the speed of the seconds hand, completing one revolution in 30 seconds.

Parmigiani - Bugatti Vitesse


Parmigiani Fleurier - Bugatti Vitesse NEW

Inspired by the new convertible Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Michel Parmigiani and his team worked on the extension of Parmigiani Fleurier's Bugatti collection: La Bugatti Vitesse. 

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

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

The Bugatti Vitesse recaptures the outstanding concept of the Bugatti Super Sport launched two years ago, with its legendary PF372 movement and the dial displayed at a 90° angle. 

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

This world first movement includes a double-pinion system with bevel gearing, and a complex mechanism which allows for a perpendicular time display. The profile of the Bugatti Super Sport case recalls the iconic form of the lugs on a Parmigiani Fleurier timepiece. 


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

The technical feat of the movement remains the same in the new Bugatti Vitesse, but this new execution reflects reworked shapes, colours and materials for a more masculine edition.

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

The paintwork of the fastest convertible in the world is a special, modern alloy which combines shine and matt colour, giving the car an almost paramilitary appearance. As a result, it was decided to reflect this masculinity in the watch through the use of titanium. The case of the Bugatti Vitesse consists of a perfectly polished and satin-finished surface which looks like it was sent from the future, and gives the timepiece "more virility" to quote the designers of Parmigiani Fleurier in comparison with the first edition Bugatti Super Sport

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


Another innovative choice of material: the dial which is made from Texalium, a web of fibre glass covered by a thin layer of aluminium. More reflective than the carbon fibre used for the Bugatti Super Sport, the Texalium fibers come in a white or orange version, to reflect the two executions of the car. 


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

In an effort to convey the notion of speed before anything, the dial of the new Bugatti Vitesse has been reconsidered, with a view to conveying the concept of speed first and foremost. The indexes are spindle-shaped between 3 and 9 o'clock, which conveys an impression of acceleration, revitalizing the watches' oval dial.

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

There is a final aesthetic evolution to the model which decorates the profile of the watch. The crown is set with two cabochons of carnelian and lapis-lazuli semi-precious stones of a rare purity which illuminate the timepiece. Blue or orange in colour, these cabochons are engraved with the initials of Parmigiani Fleurier.

    PIAGET - Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Ultra-Thin Automatic


    PIAGET - Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Ultra-Thin Automatic

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

    Throughout its history, Manufacture de Haute Horlogerie Piaget has constantly pursued its groundbreaking work in the highly technical field of ultra-thin movements. Of a total of 29 movements developed by Piaget, the new Calibre 1270P is the 17th ultra-thin mechanism.
    This expertise in ultra-thin watchmaking has also given rise to complicated calibers, including the 600P shaped tourbillon, 880P chronograph, and 855P perpetual calendar.

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

    In 2010, Piaget celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the launch of the legendary Calibre 12P by presenting Calibres 1200P (hours and minutes) and 1208P (hours, minutes and small seconds), the thinnest mechanical self-winding movements on the market at just 2.35mm thick – a record. These movements were integrated within the new 43mm Altiplano case and thereby set a second record for the thinnest watch in its category (5.25mm).

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

    Drawing upon both Piaget Calibre 600P – the world’s thinnest hand-wound tourbillon movement – and Piaget Calibre 1208P – the world’s thinnest self-winding movement equipped with a micro-rotor, the Calibre 1270P ultra-thin self-winding tourbillon measures a mere 5.35mm thick while offering a combination of technical and aesthetic innovations.

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

    The Piaget Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Automatic Ultra-Thin watch features the slimmest profile on the market, with a case measuring just 10.4 mm thick.

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

    Unlike the movements in most shaped watches, Calibre 1270P is cushion-shaped like the case it rests in, adding a high degree of horological legitimacy. The movement itself is a wonder of design and execution. Some gear wheels are a mere 0.12mm thick. The placement of the micro-rotor on the dial side of the movement and the offset hour and minute hands are striking and noteworthy aesthetic elements.

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

    The dial features laser guilloché work while tapered hour-markers point toward the offset hands and the gold-rimmed oscillating weight and tourbillon displays. The modern overall tone is counter-balanced by the traditional Haute Horlogerie decoration of the micro-rotor, guilloché-worked and adorned with the Piaget coat-of-arms.

    The solid case-back, engraved with the Piaget coat-of-arms and the Calibre 1270P reference, features two openings: one for the power-reserve indication, and the other to provide a view of the tourbillon carriage.
