OMEGA – De Ville Trésor 1940s Classic















OMEGA –  De Ville Trésor 1940s Classic NEW



OMEGA introduces an upgraded version of a late 1940s classic: the De Ville Trésor

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

 
haracterised by its thin golden case, the De Ville Trésor of 1949 was named such because it safeguarded the legendary 30 mm calibre within. More than half a century later, the De Ville Trésor is reintroduced with one of the most advanced mechanical movements the brand has ever unveiled.

Available in polished 18K OMEGA Sedna™ gold, 18K yellow gold or 18K white gold, this treasure features a thin case with a height of just 10.6 mm – a distinctive characteristic borrowed from its predecessor.

The silvery opaline dial is decorated with a vintage “clous de Paris” structure, domed 18K gold indexes and a date window at 6 o’clock. The hour hand and domed minute and seconds hands are crafted from the same metallic material as the elegant case. A box-form scratch-resistant sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides protects this understated dial.

Astarwatch – ASTAR by Rino Brodbeck











AstarwatchASTAR by Rino Brodbeck Limited Edition NEW


The Astar by Rino Brodbeck, a mirror of the cosmos

The Astar, produced in 15 numbered editions, is already a collector's item. It is a symbolic interpretation of the movement of the Sun, Earth and Venus.

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







































The Astar was conceived and designed by the renowned Swiss architect Rino Brodbeck. The watch itself was made by Janvier SA, a firm founded by Vianney Halter, one of the most imaginative watchmakers of the early 21st century and winner of the Grand Prix de Genève Innovation Prize in 2013. It was manufactured in Sainte-Croix, at the heart of Switzerland's watchmaking region, with all the care and consideration demanded by the craft.

Fifteen editions and already a museum piece

Inside is a mechanical caliber with automatic winding offering a maximum autonomy of 38 hours. It is based on an ETA movement that breaks down the hour with great precision thanks to its 28,800 vph beat.

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

































This outstanding timepiece is already a rarity: only 14 collectors will be able to acquire one, because one of the fifteen numbered editions manufactured, number 11, to be precise, has already become part of the inventory of the Musée d'Horlogerie de Genève.

This stainless steel timekeeper, whose impeccable roundness embraces something close to total minimalism, has a diameter of 40 millimeters and a height of 10 millimeters. As for the colors and materials, the dial is in a space-like blue, while gold (the hour disc), silver (the minute disc) and diamonds (for the seconds) have replaced the traditional hands.

Time's symbolic power

The Astar by the Swiss architect Rino Brodbeck evokes the cosmic order. It is more than just an instrument to keep time tied to one's wrist. This watch also takes on a more spiritual role, namely that of establishing a symbiosis with the astral universe, of being able to reach a perception of infinity that allows us to think, love, create and act.

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



























Human beings are not the masters of time. The world they have created imposes a momentum that is in total dissonance with the very astral rhythm they are subjected to. And because the hour, the minute, the second are mere social conventions and ways to control one's availability, a watch just had to be invented with hours that refer to the Sun, minutes to the Moon, and seconds to Venus. 
Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...      BIG FOTO
So in the final analysis, the Astar by Rino Brodbeck is the mirror of a celestial system that connects the past with modern times. It's a watch that literally reaches for the stars, fraught, as it is, with inspired symbolism. Because in the vastness of the Universe, time is the

A different way to read time

It takes just a little time, and a learning period, to see the actual time emerge from the configuration of the symbols, the hours-minutes-seconds, the arrangement of surfaces, colors, and specific dimensions, all perfectly legible even when superimposed. And each second that passes opens a new, harmonious composition to the delight of the cosmophile's eye.

Thumbnail biography of the Swiss architect Rino Brodbeck

Rino Brodbeck was born in Basel in 1934. In 1957, he moved Geneva to engage in several architecture projects. A winner of many competitions, he is the author of several major constructions, such as the headquarters of the World Meteorological Organization (OMM) in Geneva, the three new Rolex buildings, and the Hans Wilsdorf bridge (in 2012). Rino Brodbeck always had an affinity for the stars. He therefore imagined a watch governed by the cosmos while, at the same time, respecting the laws that apply in architecture. In 2002, his dream became a reality when he created a limited series of fifteen watches with the following motif: time, space, architecture, and the human being at the center.

GRAHAM – Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon















GRAHAM Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon BLACK NEW























Beyond Technology

It always starts with the lever, then the idea begins to gain momentum. A first technological challenge, then a second. GRAHAM achieved a remarkable technological timepiece which brings Superlight technology to its peak and to high-end watch making.
The Chronofighter Superlight Carbon is the first Chronofighter carbon-fibre-made watch combining complex and unprecedented machining processes.
The superlight black carbon nanotube composite case is enhanced by a carbon trigger, bezel, dial and buckle. Light, soft and comfortable to wear, the Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon will survive rough treatment and the passage of time.

Only a high-level of ambition and extensive research enabled the creation of the impactful and reliable Superlight carbon watch. Perhaps, the easiest way to understand the technical feat is to think of the various carbon properties. Convenient, malleable and lightweight, carbon is the preferred material in aeronautics, car racing, aerospace, sports and other domains that require lightweight, strength and performance. By combining carbon fibre and a strong polymer matrix, carbon fibre composites are simply reshaping the world of high performances.
All the conditions are there to create the most resistant and lightest time machine.


The Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon complete watch weighs lighter than 100g.

GRAHAM has developed a case, made of carbon nanotube speckled composite.
 The start and stop lever on the left of the case, the renowned GRAHAM signature, is made of plain carbon fibre –multi layers- and results from a very specific machining process. This means that the lever is a unique piece of carbon which provides the watch with more stiffness and enhanced usability.

Thanks to the instinctive and precise use of the carbon fibre trigger, the chronograph facilitates the measurement of speed thanks to a tachymeter scale and a reversed minute’s counter with a white painted indicator to show the starting point. The function emphasizes the intuitive use of the chronograph and immediate reading.

Tachymeter function and back carbon dial


The shiny carbon bezel and dial perfectly finish the watch design and enable an optimum lightweight and shockproof use in all situations.
Dedicated to adrenaline and advanced technology, the watch is held by a red integrated “Clous de Paris” strap and plain carbon fibre buckle made of different parts and resulting froman inventive assembly process.
No doubt you will create a fused relationship with The Chronofighter Oversize Superlight Carbon.
