LINDE WERDELIN - SpidoSpeed Black Diamond Chronograph


















LINDE WERDELIN - SpidoSpeed   Black    Diamond Limited Edition Chronograph 


The Spido family is produced with superb precision engineering. With ideas drawn from constructing racing car chassis, the case body is drilled out to maintain the bare essentials for weight reduction, yet offering a robust and stylish structure.


















Linde Werdelin's signature skeletonised case is among the most technical and challenging to produce for a timepiece. The Spido family is a testament to Linde Werdelin's design innovation, build excellence, and meticulous craftsmanship.

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










































A unique composition of black diamonds, mother of pearl, DLC (diamond-like-carbon) with blued-steel hands. Among the LINDE WERDELIN collection, SpidoSpeed Black Diamond is the first to bear a dial made from a precious natural material, precisely from the inside of oyster shells of original Tahitian mother of pearls. Every piece radiates a slightly different gradient of blue, making each one of them inimitable from another.

The dial is constructed into two parts to give a major sense of depth, very much achieved with the use of different colours and surface combinations given by the light effect of the mother of pearl dial. Each 48 brilliant-cut black diamond of 1.57 carats is meticulously mounted inside the bezel with exceptional accuracy. The brilliant cut is one of the most favourable forms for enhancing the play of lights and shades.

Parmigiani - PERSHING 002 GOLD Chronograph

Parmigini - PERSHING 002 GOLD Chronograph NEW

In 2008, Swiss luxury watch manufacture Parmigiani Fleurier introduced a new chronograph line to celebrate its exclusive partnership signed with Pershing, the Italian top-of-the-range yacht builder. Seen as Parmigiani Fleurier’s first highly sporty watch collection, the Pershing limited edition “one-one-five” chronograph, and then the Pershing “zero-zero-five” won over a broad international public, corroborating the good match between the two business cultures, based on values of excellence and expertise in manufacturing know-how.

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

The new Pershing “zero-zero-two” chronograph collection offers the advantage of matching the expectations of the broad public. Its compact size, with a 42 mm diameter, means that it can be worn by gentlemen, whose preferences will tend more to sobriety and classicism, but also by ladies.

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

Fully redesigned to achieve balanced lines, its case is made from steel, 18 carat white gold or rose gold.
Its Calibre Parmigiani PF 334 in-house automatic movement offers chronograph indications (large seconds, 30 minute counter, 12 hour counter) combined with a large date display window. Its push-pieces are made from white or black rubber, depending on the wristlet colour, if the watch is steel; they are made from precious metal if the chronograph model is gold. Its unidirectional rotating bezel, 3-metre base tachometric measurement indicator and its 100 metre water resistance give it the ideal characteristics for a diving watch.

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

A highly feminine version Pershing “002” chronograph has been custom designed, with a number of alluring original details. In tribute to a more poetic maritime look, its blue mother-of-pearl dial reflects the ocean deeps, which is underlined via the presence of a small stylised octopus placed on the end of the chronograph hand. The small seconds is a starfish that turns to mark the seconds. The brilliance of the aquatic reflections is interpreted by precious diamond and sapphire baguettes set on its bezel.

There is a white Hermes Epsom calfskin strap, with blue stitching, for the mother-of-pearl version; and a steel bracelet or natural rubber strap for the more classic versions of the Pershing “zero-zero-two” chronograph with graphite, amaranth or silver dial.

Girard-Perregaux - DLC Titanium Bi-Axial Tourbillon Limited Edition















Girard-Perregaux - DLC Titanium Bi-Axial Tourbillon Limited Edition NEW



Swiss luxury watch brand Girard-Perregaux unveils another spectacular creation with an exclusive Limited Edition of its bi-axial Tourbillon. The astonishingly modern architecture of the Brand iconic movement is enhanced by a black DLC-coated titanium case and magnified by the contrast of colors and materials. The caliber designed and crafted using the most accomplished watchmaking expertise is turned into an avant-garde design statement.

A masterwork of technology, the Girard-Perregaux bi-axial Tourbillon combines two concentric cages that enable the regulating part to make multi-dimensional rotations. This complex construction compensates for rate irregularities due to the Earth’s gravity. An internal cage bearing the balance wheel, balance spring and escapement completes one full turn on its axis in forty-five seconds.
