RAYMOND WEIL – MAESTRO Mr. Raymond Weil Chronograph Edition


RAYMOND WEILMAESTRO Mr. Raymond Weil Chronograph Limited Edition NEW

MAESTRO – Mr. RAYMOND WEIL LIMITED EDITION
TRIBUTE TO A LIFE’S WORK

Raymond Weil was a great man whose vision led to the creation of a Company which, over the course of almost four decades, has gained international renown – the Company remains to this day one of the last few independent family-run watchmakers – and is the legacy left by an exceptional man to his family. Elie Bernheim, grandson of the founder, today heads the RAYMOND WEIL family business, and with the maestro collection is offering a truly unique limited edition timepiece, paying fitting tribute to a life's work.

In April 2014, Elie Bernheim took over the reins from his father Olivier at the head of the RAYMOND WEIL family business. Here watch-making is more than a family affair, as it was at the end of the 70’s that the late Raymond Weil, eponymous founder of the watch Brand, had the audacity and courage required to launch his own business.

It is this same independent and valiant spirit which drives Elie Bernheim today, both in terms of his way of understanding the market and his involvement in creating and designing the models which form the RAYMOND WEIL collections – continuing the tradition of high-quality, ever-reliable and sophisticated Swiss watch-making.

A timepiece in tribute to a life's work is the quiet testament the Company wished to pay its founder. A subtle reference to Raymond Weil's favourite complication, an automatic winding mechanical heart, equipped with a 42-hour power reserve, sits inside this COSC-certified chronometer. Each timepiece is engraved with a unique number on its movement and comes with a certificate issued by the COSC official organization. The 45mm 18K rose gold case shelters a dial featuring Raymond Weil’s hand-written signature. The chronograph pushbuttons sit on both sides of the crown and allow for the chronometer to start, stop, restart and reset.

 It is an expertly conducted harmony of decoration which comes to life under the baton of the music-loving watchmaker, granting this timepiece all of its pedigree. The distinctive sign of high-quality watch movements, a "côtes de Genève" decoration embellishes the skeleton oscillating weight adorned with the RAYMOND WEIL monogram. Presented in a prestigious box made of olive tree wood and bearing Raymond Weil’s signature, the timepiece expresses all of its personality, flattered by an impressive showcase of craftsmanship.

With this 100-piece numbered limited edition tribute timepiece, RAYMOND WEIL is not only highlighting its attachment to watch-making values but above all to family values, which will continue through high-quality creations, flying the flag for renowned Swiss watch-making expertise.

The all black Terrascope catches the eye with its multi-layer black carbon fiber case and the black carbon fiber bezel. This new method of spinning the fiber makes the timepiece even more resistant. A hint of Arsenal red features on the dial and accentuates the Football Club’s Canon Emblem – also in full black – on the small second spot.  The sporty-elegant look is completed by the black “Rubbergator“ strap in alligator appearance and the titanium folding buckle. At the heart of this timepiece beats a mechanical automatic chronograph movement.

GIRARD-PERREGAUX – Vintage 1945 Large Date Moon-Phases & Mechanics of Art Deco





















GIRARD-PERREGAUXVintage 1945 XXL Large Date Moon-Phases & Mechanics of Art Deco NEW

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


























For the first time ever, the mechanical heart of the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 watch is revealed under a transparent sapphire dial. In a deft combination of technology and style, this model is enhanced by its Art Deco-inspired aesthetic code and its uncompromisingly contemporary mechanical structure.

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



























The new Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Large Date, Moon-Phases watch fully reveals the complexity of its movement for the first time, thanks to a transparent dial carved in sapphire. This offers the wearer a fascinating mechanical spectacle of gears, display disks, screws, levers and wheels, all arranged in a perfectly-orchestrated system. Here, the movement goes beyond its merely functional role to become a full-time spectacle.

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
































Testifying to the Manufacture's long history and expertise, it unveils all the secrets that give it its beauty and originality. Its shape, adapted to that of the case, represents a distinctive, emblematic mark of identity. Its large jumping date and moon-phase functions complement its hour, minute and small second indications to complete its unique cachet. A fine example of kinetic art, the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 watch is marked out by its strong character and elegant sense of style.

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































A case of architectural proportions


With its mechanical beating heart, the Vintage 1945 Large Date, Moon-Phases watch accentuates an impression of depth combined with multiple contrasts. Like a metal and glass cathedral, it is a vivid example of the spirit of contemporary architecture, in which spaces and volumes are intermingled to form subtly coordinated interplays of transparent structures.

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






























With its mysterious smoked-glass effect, the dial both reveals the watch mechanism and showcases the hour markers and applique Arabic numerals to ensure clear and rapid reading of the indications. Its gray coloring is obtained by surface metallization, while the seconds circle and the inscriptions have been created through printing. The Dauphine-type hands, embossed and polished, stand out just as clearly, while continuing to allow the heart of the watch mechanism to be seen.

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


























Designed in the purest Art Deco style, the rectangular "1945" case (named for the year of its creation) forms part of the repertoire of iconic Girard-Perregaux classics. Its profile, doubly curved both length-wise and width-wise, forms a combination of harmonious lines of convergence and gentle curves. The shape of the lugs, the presence of horizontal gadroons and the merging of the crown into the case-band further underline the watch's elegance. Recognized and appreciated by connoisseurs for this aesthetic perfection, it also provides the wearer with a very high degree of comfort.

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




























A mechanical spectacle

The dimensions of the GP 03300-0105/0062 manufactured caliber exactly match those of the case, which is highly unusual for watches with distinctive shapes. Its technical sophistication is now clearly on display to one and all. Among the first features to be noticed is the large jumping date at 12 o'clock, displayed by a tandem of two adjacent disks.

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




























 In terms of technical performance, this patented mechanism impresses by the rapidity of its operation: a date change is completed in under 5 milliseconds when triggered! It is also noteworthy for its display on the same level, achieved thanks to an ingenious mechanism. The transparent disk bearing the numerals indicating the units, placed on top and with a minimum thickness of 0.1 mm, has its numerals inscribed on its back, contrary to usual practice. The level difference is thus imperceptible in relation to the black disk positioned underneath that bears the numerals indicating the tens. The two numerals thus give the appearance of being displayed naturally side by side, without any line of demarcation.

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
























Following conventional lines and yet imbued with a strong poetic element, the moon-phase indicator at 6 o'clock both provides visual balance and adds a colorful note. Operating on the same axis as the small seconds hand, this function also has a discreetly concealed technical profile, marked particularly by the presence of two moon symbols that appear alternately on the micro-dial. Its indented perimeter and the heart that usually covers the lower part of the disk are thus converted into almost theatrical features.

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
































Wound automatically by an oscillating weight visible on the case-back side, the caliber is very easy to set. The large jumping date in particular can be rapidly set through the crown, while the moon-phases are controlled by a side corrector discreetly merged into the case-band. Equipped with a minimum 46-hour power-reserve, its frequency is fixed at 4Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour.

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


























The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Large Date, Moon-Phases watch is available in either a stainless steel or pink gold version.

Ulysse Nardin – Marine Diver Gold




Ulysse NardinMARINE DIVER Gold NEW


Gold highlights Marine Diver.

Powered by the self-winding caliber UN-26 and with a power reserve of 42 hours, the Marine Diver displays, in addition to its time functions, the date in an aperture at 6 o’clock and the power reserve in a counter at 12 o’clock. Available in 18 ct gold mounted on a rubber strap, the Marine Diver timepiece is both a highly reliable diving instrument and a fine sports watch that can be worn on every occasion.

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
































Everything about the Marine Diver evokes the marine world in which the Le Locle watchmaker is steeped, starting with Ulysse Nardin’s anchor emblem, proudly displayed at 2 o’clock. The dial, in blue or black, is decorated with a wave-like motif. The same ornamentation can be seen on the bezel. The solid case-back reveals an engraving of a boat surrounded by the inscription: “Conquer the ocean.” This embellishes a new case designed for extreme conditions, extended by the lugs with their taut, sleek lines.

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



In terms of performance, this watch has all the attributes required of a diving watch. Boasting exceptional water resistance to 300 meters, made possible thanks to the screw-locked crown and case-back, it also features a unidirectional rotating bezel, which prevents any accidental adjustment to the dive time. For the same safety reasons, every aspect of the new Marine Diver has been designed to facilitate the reading of its precious indications: The impressive 44 mm face displays large hour-markers and hands with a white luminescent coating and a red stripe, for perfect visibility.

The small seconds at 6 o'clock are also oversized, offering a reassuring sign that the watch is functioning as it should, even in the water’s murky depths. Lastly, the claw-shaped rubber molding over the crown ensures it is easy to grip.
