Odessa Skelton

“Odessa Skeleton” is the first skeleton model from TASAKI TIMEPIECES that take their inspiration from the universe.
The full-skeleton view of the movement gives a sense of the spectacular scale of the universe, while the “perlage” pearl pattern on the bridge swirls like the milky way, portraying the flicker of innumerable stars. And the SAKURAGOLD™ plate provides a beautiful contrast of material and colour, evoking the alluring hue of the cosmos.

The production of a skeleton watch required the development of a unique new design starting from the shape of the bridge, to create the perfect harmony of functionality and aesthetic beauty. From the simple pattern on the index plate, without even any numbers, to the delicate hand-crafted “perlage”. The beauty of a skeleton structure, with its flowing sense of vigour. Using TASAKI original SAKURAGOLD™ with its soft hues of pink on white, this is the ultimate ‘Made in Japan’ piece from TASAKI, exuding the essence of this exclusive jeweller.

On sale August 18 - 23 at Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro (8F) and from August 25 at the TASAKI Ginza Flagship Store.

EBERHARD & CO. – Champion V Targa Florio Special Edition

EBERHARD & CO. – Champion V Targa Florio Automatic Special Edition 100th Anniversary NEW

100 EDITIONS OF THE TARGA FLORIO
WITH EBERHARD & CO. AND A SPECIAL EDITION CHAMPION V

This 2016 year, from 5 - 8 May, another memorable event has been added to Eberhard & Co.’s rich programme of sponsorships in the world of vintage cars: the renowned Targa Florio, which has celebrated its 100th edition and at which the watchmaker has been the Official Timekeeper and presented a chronograph especially created for the competitors in this race.

Set up in 1906 through the enlightened genius and entrepreneurial spirit of Vincenzo Florio - a highly cultured man enamoured of his native land - the “world’s oldest and most famous” automobile race, an icon of Italy and of Sicily in particular, which has left its mark on the history of motor sports, looked proudly towards the future through a four-in-one event: Targa Florio Rally, Targa Florio Historic Rally, Targa Florio Classica and Targa Florio Historic Speed.

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

It has been set to be the motor racing event of the year, bringing together extremely valuable cars, great champions, crews from the four corners of the world, collectors and enthusiasts. The history of this discipline came to life again in the very places where it was born, passing on a culture which, besides being all-Italian, is part of our global heritage. The cars and the streets which saw the feats of great drivers such as Fangio, Varzi, Nuvolari, Merzario and Vaccarella featured once again prominently in the event.

The bond between the Swiss watchmaker, which has been producing high-quality timepieces since 1887 and which has been one of the major players on the old-timers’ scene for over 20 years, and exclusive cars goes back to 1992. It is a love that has endured over time and that is constantly being enriched by innovations such as this latest addition to the fold and the decision to create a special model dedicated to the racing enthusiasts lucky enough to have the honour of taking part in this edition.

Eberhard & Co. has come up with the Champion V Targa Florio watch to celebrate the race’s Centenary. Being a sports chronograph, it is ideal for all those who face the trials of life and their passions with pluck and determination. It has been given to all participants (1 per crew) and all competitors had the chance to purchase a second watch at a special price. Elegant, sophisticated and sporty, Champion V is a mechanical, self-winding chronograph with two counters, one for the minutes and one for the hours, where style and technology merge in a highly versatile equilibrium.

The dial of the special edition Targa Florio is customised with the logo of the 100th edition and its style and colours are evocative of motor races. Waterproof at 50 m, it has a 42.80 mm steel caseback with convex sapphire glass, a caseback fixed with 6 screws and enhanced by polished satin finishes, a steel bezel with a circular aluminium insert that has been treated with anodic oxidation and it comes with a leather strap with a customised “E&Co.” buckle.

Besides the race participants, some Champion V Targa Florio chronographs has also been given to selected celebrities that have accepted the invitation to be present at the anniversary.

“We are pleased to celebrate 100 glorious editions with the Targa Florio”, declared Mario Peserico – General Manager of Eberhard & Co. “The perfect union between the world of vintage cars and our watches is traditionally represented by the Tazio Nuvolari collection, but in this case, due to the exceptional nature of the event, we decided to do something special and to match a different model to this race, a more sporty model with the evocative name Champion V, dedicating it to all past, present and future champions taking part in the race.”

The Targa Florio Classic winners are Giovanni Moceri and Daniele Bonetti on FIAT 508 C (1939), followed by Andrea Vesco and Andrea Guerini on FIAT 508 S BALILLA SPORT (1934). Mario Passanante and Anna Maria Pisciotta ranked third on their FIAT 1100 103 E/ 1955 and on the fourth position we find Francesco and Giuseppe Di Pietra on FIAT 508 C (1938), the two pilots of the Classicteam Eberhard, the scuderia that the Maison supports in all the vintage car races and exhibitions.

ALPINA – Horological Smartwatch

ALPINA – Horological Smartwatch Blue Dial NEW

The new blue Alpina Horological Smartwatch

Geneva, September 7th 2016

In 2015, Alpina Watches introduced the first Horological Smartwatch collection, completely “horological”. With this innovation, Alpina established a new set of goals in terms of revolutionizing the smartwatch world. More than a gadget, this watch offers the most ground-breaking technology as well as the undisputable Swiss quality commanded by a continuously very connected and demanding user.

Today, Alpina launches a new aesthetical execution of this timepiece, maintaining the technological feats and Swiss excellence all the while presenting a more casual, subtle look in comparison to its full-steel predecessor. The new Alpina Horological Smartwatch is proposed in an elegant execution featuring a polished and brushed stainless steel 44 mm case combined to a classy navy sunray dial combined with a genuine brown-colored leather strap with red lining asides, turning this original sporty watch collection into a more well-dressed timepiece.

The navy sunray dial with beige luminous indexes displays central hours and minute hands, the “smart” counter is positioned at 6 o’clock. The small red hand indicates the date during the activity tracking mode and will point out the moon during your sleep tracking mode, while the small steel hand shows you the percentage of your activity or sleep goals achieved. One of the main assets of this model is that the battery life is 2+ years. The Alpina Horological Smartwatch is not a device, no need to charge it every day.

HYSEK – IO 42 Power Reserve

HYSEK – IO 42 Power Reserve and Grande Date NEW

IO 42 mm Power Reserve:
reinventing a classic

Sometimes, you need to revisit your roots. Having unveiled a number of fine watchmaking models this year, as well as a complete ladies’ collection, Hysek has now returned to one of its most sober models, the IO 42 mm Power Reserve.

With its three hands, date, and power reserve, the new IO 42 mm embodies Hysek’s take on classical watchmaking. “Creating a pure, enduring timepiece is a more complicated exercise than it looks,” explains Hysek’s CEO Akram Aljord. “Unlike the fine watches we’ve been devising for the past fifteen years according to our own lights, traditional watchmaking is an area in which much has already been accomplished. Renewing the genre – and adding something new in keeping with our own DNA – has been a gargantuan challenge.”

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

Hysek’s IO collection comprises round, classical-style pieces, featuring traditional watchmaking’s most emblematic complications: date, moon phase, and chronograph. The new IO 42 mm is the only model to include a power reserve. Formerly available atop a black dial, the piece now has a more contemporary feel thanks to a brighter, livelier electric blue livery.

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

The new-look sun-brushed dial has polished rhodium-plated hands and appliques that reflect light in all directions. Meanwhile the date display at 12 o’clock features large windows, making it very readable. The time and date are set using a single crown at 3 o’clock, enhanced with a black disc bearing a raised “H” for Hysek.

The power reserve is deployed at 6 o’clock. An imposing yet precise hand with a semi-circular movement displays the watch’s remaining power reserve over 42 hours. Around it, every aspect of the 42 mm steel case is exactly right down to the tiniest detail, with a refined blend of satin and polished parts. The signature lugs that are now one of Hysek’s hallmarks are there, along with another – the distinctive presence of only the 1, 5, 7 and 11 Arabic numeral applique hour markers.

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

The timepiece is powered by a Swiss Made automatic movement with 22 jewels, visible through the sapphire caseback. The movement has been developed in line with traditional watchmaking style codes, including a Côtes de Genève finish and blued screws. Hysek has opted for a high-frequency caliber boasting 28,800 vibrations per hour, guaranteeing perfect precision. The new IO 42 mm Power Reserve sports a blue leather strap, and will be available from autumn 2016.

AUDEMARS PIGUET Supports Serena Williams in Her Quest for Victory

AUDEMARS PIGUET – Supports Serena Williams in Her Quest for Victory

As Serena Williams is defending her title in London, Audemars Piguet accompanies its brand ambassador in her quest for a 22nd major victory

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

London, Monday 4th July 2016 – Serena Williams continues her grass-court campaign in South West London to defend the crown she won last year. A 7th victory there would represent her highest number of wins for a specific grand slam tournament as she counts 3 wins on the red clay of Paris, and 6 on each of the hard courts of Melbourne and New York. It would therefore become her 22nd title, which would allow her to equal the record held by Steffi Graff.

Audemars Piguet’s brand philosophy “To break the rules, you must first master them.” perfectly embodies Serena’s quest and her unrelenting drive and passion during her impressive career. The brand now celebrates this spirit and shows its support in a new campaign launched on social media worldwide.

Inspired by a verse from Rudyard Kipling’s “If” poem written on the wall of the Center Court players’ entrance - “If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same” -, Audemars Piguet’s campaign, consisting of a short film and series of still images, features Serena in a stunning black and white setting while reciting the famous poem with a slight twist at the end.

“If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Woman, Sister.”

Rudis Sylva – RS 16 Harmonious Oscillator

Rudis Sylva – RS 16 Harmonious Oscillator 2016

 Rudis Sylva RS 16 Harmonious Oscillator 

pre-selected in the Tourbillon category GPHG 2016

When the Harmonious Oscillator was unveiled at Baselworld 2009, there were watchmakers present who thought this invention to be important in the history of timekeeping.

The reason is clear: the Harmonious Oscillator represents a horological revolution. In permanent opposition, its toothed balance wheels instantly minimize the effects of gravity when the watch is in the vertical position. The wheels are interlinked, ensuring a more stable amplitude for higher precision.

The Harmonious Oscillator is an embodiment of technical and artistic brilliance with mesmerizing micro engineering complemented by the finest hand-engraving, enameling, guilloche, and scintillating anglage.

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

The main plate features a handcrafted guilloche pattern of tapering pyramids, while the bridges of the dual balance regulator feature hand-crafted anglage with no fewer than 40 incredibly demanding internal angles; 28 of which are executed in ultra-strong and difficult-to-work titanium. Both the movement and the case back are engraved by hand, with the case back also featuring sublime high-fire enamel.

The distinctive design of the new RS 16 with its high-domed sapphire crystal is by star watch designer Eric Giroud.

Rudis Sylva is proud to be one of very few independent brands to have designed, manufactured, tested, and patented an entire complicated movement. Rudis Sylva is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and is proud to be one of very few independent brands to have designed, built, manufactured, tested and patented an entire complicated movement.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2016, this boutique brand from the Jura also is also celebrating the RS 16's pre-selection in the Tourbillon category of the 2016 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), an accolade putting it in the top six tourbillons of 2016. The winner will be announced on November 10.

The red gold RS 16 retails for CHF 250,000 (excluding shipping and taxes).
