BASELWORLD 2015

A COLLECTOR’S WATCH FOR
CIGAR LOVERS

Bell & Ross has created its new Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada with the idea of capturing the art of enjoying exceptional moments.

The colour scheme of the watch displays shades of brown that immediately evoke the iconic browns of Cuban cigars, in a design that skilfully combines the worlds of watchmaking and cigars. The roundness of the case and the style of the dial bring to mind the shape and colour of a cigar. The subtleness of the lugs, and the design of the Arabic numerals covered with gold dust arouse a vintage atmosphere that is reminiscent of the traditional craftsmanship of cigars.

With a diameter of 42 mm, the case is joined to the strap with fine wire lugs that hark back to the first wristwatches, the direct descendants of the pocket watches from which the Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada takes its curving lines and the purity of form. The deep reflections of the red gold combine elegantly with the brown of the dial and the strap. The narrow alligator leather strap and the gilded hands contribute to the elegance and refinement of the design. As a final nod to Cuba, the words on the dial are written in Spanish.

A HOROLOGICAL COMPLICATION
FOR SAVOURING TIME ...

Because time is easily forgotten when you’re enjoying yourself, Bell & Ross has chosen to equip its new Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada with a movement with a large power reserve. The manual winding mechanism is armed with a double barrel that provides power for up to five days of operation. On the dial, a hand that travels in a slow arc with the inscription “reserva de marcha 5 días”, indicates the wearer how many days are left before the watch requires winding.

Any cigar lover knows that behind its apparent simplicity, a cigar is the result of a complex and careful process of assembly. The heart (or “filler”) is made with tobacco leaves that come from different parts of the plant, and it is bounded or enclosed by another leave called «binder». Finally, these are covered by the wrapper, a large leaf that is the outermost layer of the cigar and give it its colour, due to its long period of fermentation.

Just as a “torcedor” knows all the secrets to cigar making, a watchmaker knows that the smooth running of a watch relies on the craft behind its precise mechanism. The Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada has an opening in the dial that allows a view of its mechanism. The movement of the balance is also visible, whilst ensuring that the indications remain readable.

On the reverse of the watch, a transparent sapphire back reveals the beauty of the mechanism, particularly that of the three- quarter main plate and the bridge of the balance. Bevelling, a Côtes de Genève finish and blued screws complete the aesthetic of the mechanism.

A HUMIDOR AS A PRESENTATION CASE

To enhance this meeting between the worlds of cigars and watches, Bell & Ross has chosen to present the watch in a case of Makassar ebony, which can be transformed into a humidor with a humidifier and a hygrometer. This case holds up to 50 cigars and is made out of the rare and precious kaya wood. Its colour palette compliments that of the Vintage WW1 Edición Limitada.

Manufacture Royale – 1770 MICROMEGAS Double Flying Tourbillon

Manufacture Royale – 1770 MICROMEGAS Double Flying Tourbillon NEW

Manufacture Royale multiplies time with a groundbreaking double flying tourbillon rotating at two speeds. Successfully combining the height of horological technology with the Voltairean philosophical tale from which it takes its name, the 1770 Micromegas has the pleasure and the ambition to inspire.

A philosopher of great intelligence, Micromegas is the mythical hero of a short story by Voltaire, the Founder of Manufacture Royale in 1770. In this tale, the 120,000-feet tall giant sets out to explore space after being expelled from his own planet, Sirius, as punishment for his dissenting ideas. After visiting Earth, and having observed the arrogance and ignorance of its inhabitants, Micromegas concludes that dialogue and tolerance are the keys to living in harmony. He points out that our views are only relative and that we must be willing to change our perspective on things. Voltaire's story gave Manufacture Royale, a provocative and inspired brand, the idea for a two-speed double flying tourbillon; a first in fine watchmaking. A technico-philosophical bolt from the blue, its two cages rotate at different speeds. But these mechanisms do more than indicate the time; they encapsulate the conclusion reached by the space-travelling giant, as time is given thanks to the harmonious and sincere dialogue between two mechanical combinations, each of a different nature.

DOUBLE TEMPO
Centuries apart, Micromegas and Manufacture Royale aren't afraid to look at their respective worlds from a different angle. And whereas Micromegas draws a philosophical lesson from his observations, Manufacture Royale chooses to redefine the principles of watchmaking with the new MR04 calibre, with spectacular results. Granted, multiple tourbillons already exist but no pair rotated at two different speeds, until now. The first cage, on the left, makes one revolution in 6 seconds. The second, on the right, completes its rotation in 60 seconds. The two are connected by a differential which receives energy from the barrel. The regulating organs are therefore in direct contact with the source of power.

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

The 1770 Micromegas double tourbillon achieves a feat that no watchmaker has ever attempted before. The result exactly embodies the meaning of its name, an oxymoron comprising micro meaning small and megas meaning large. In addition to its precision, the MR04 calibre delivers a long power reserve of approximately 80 hours that is maintained by automatic winding, an exception on a timepiece of this type.
In addition to its Haute Horlogerie finishes, the MR04 calibre is given NAC surface treatment. Conventional jewels are replaced by ceramic ball bearings. Such new, innovative and unexpected characteristics reflect Manufacture Royale's uniquely enlightened approach to watchmaking.

NEW PERCEPTION
The sight of the two tourbillons spinning at contrasting yet regular speeds inspires a strange and hypnotic sensation as to the notion of passing time. Like the giant in his musings, the 1770 Micromegas questions our perception of reality. This impression is further accentuated by the watch's design, and the prominence given to the two tourbillon cages. Completely unobstructed, they recall instruments on a racing car. The titanium dial, enhanced with a rubber-effect black varnish, SuperLuminova and Titalyte, underscores this sleek and sporting style, as do the blued and skeletonised titanium hands.

The case construction reflects the identity of Manufacture Royale, and the aesthetic and technical attributes of its 1770 collection, with two brancards that hug the central section then extend to form the lugs. Assembled from multiple elements, it confirms a powerful, technical dimension taken from the automotive world. Angles and straight edges blend with curves while satin and polished finishes intersect at complex angles in a demonstration of technical mastery and attention to detail. Lines are tighter, more edgy, as is the notched bezel. Like the dial, it is crafted from titanium for its qualities of lightness and resistance. The back of the case is open to show the new calibre.

1770 Micromegas opens up a new chapter in the development of Manufacture Royale, which takes its strength and creativity from its independence.

ANTOINE PREZIUSO – Tourbillon of Tourbillons Limited Edition

ANTOINE PREZIUSO – Tourbillon of Tourbillons Limited Edition NEW

THE TOURBILLON OF TOURBILLONS
The Greatest Invention of the 21st Century

Watchmakers are continually striving to perfect the tourbillon, notably by improving its rotation system. The tourbillon is a remarkable technical accomplishment – and a 'visible' complication that never ceases to fascinate. This tiny cage, revolving like a planet (in the 18th century, the word 'tourbillon' referred to the movement of the stars), also enables the dial to feature a host of geometric and transparent effects.

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

The new timepiece was conceived, designed and produced by Antoine Preziuso in collaboration with his son Florian. It combines rigour with technical perfection, and is protected by three international patents.

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

It has been the focus of the reflection and research undertaken by Antoine & Florian Preziuso in recent years. The result: the new Tourbillon of Tourbillons, showcasing a complication that embodies a savoir-faire derived from 35 years of independent watchmaking.

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

The genius of the design lies in its three tourbillons on a revolving plate, whose combined effect is to grant the watch greater precision whatever the wearer's position.

The Tourbillon of Tourbillons gravitates and resonates around Antoine Preziuso's new design.

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

The hand-winding mechanism of the caliber “AFP-TTR3X” arms a twin-barrel that ensures optimal efficiency and a generous power-reserve. The last wheel and pinion of the going train drive the heart of the system via a central, planetary triple-differential gear which, in turn, drives a revolving plate bearing no fewer than three tourbillons. Each tourbillon is placed at an equal distance from the centre of the plate, with their respective axes forming an equilateral triangle.

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

Each of the three tourbillons completes one rotation around its axis every 60 seconds; it takes just 10 minutes for the revolving plate to complete a revolution with the three tourbillons around the dial. The foremost factor that guarantees precision: the respective frequencies of the three balances keep step with each other thanks to the resonance achieved by the proximity of the tourbillons. These tourbillons oscillate at a stable frequency.

Five Tourbillon of Tourbillons timepieces will be available in 2015 – with a case version « Power GTS » Gold - Titanium and Steel. The design is light yet robust, with gold support columns and detachable horns in solid 18-ct gold.

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

The new case is reinforced by 24  ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE’s  « Power » screws, and has 45 components tooled in the block, providing utmost solidity and ensuring the timepiece is perfectly waterproof.

The Tourbillon of Tourbillons unquestionably marks a new episode in tourbillon’s history – and one of the most glorious. Apart from the tremendous advances it embodies in terms of innovation and chronometer manufacture, the magical choreography of the three tourbillons on their revolving plate will amaze all who see it.

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

Often considered the supreme horological complication, the tourbillon remains a constant source of fascination. Antoine Preziuso has made it a speciality and now introduces a stunning composition protected by three patents. Working with his son Florian, the independent master-watchmaker has placed three tourbillon carriages on a rotating platform and this association endows the watch with unique precision in all wearing positions. Each of the three tourbillons performs a complete rotation around its axis in one minute, while the entire rotating platform, driven by an original triple planetary differential, requires just 10 minutes to make a complete revolution, with the tourbillons forming a triangle in the centre. A token of ultimate precision, the frequencies of the three regulating organs are attuned to each other by the physical proximity of the tourbillons oscillating at a stable frequency. Limited edition of five for 2015.

---------------------------------------
Brands
Antoine Preziuso, an independent watchmaker and designer since 1980 who graduated at the top of his class from the Geneva Watchmaking School and is renowned in the field of fine Swiss watch making, created his brand in 1996. He can be credited with many patents including most notably the famous 3Volution, a three-cage tourbillon movement. He is a member of the AHCI (the Horological Academy of Independent Creators) and an apprenticeship supervisor. The philosophy of ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE is based on three main values: independence and creativity, with passion as the driving force behind them.

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

These are the three values that explain the whole structure of the company, as well as its strategic choices. Benefitting from absolute freedom in creative and commercial terms, the watch range can be diversified in an entirely unrestricted manner, through daring to explore new technical and aesthetic solutions and using rare materials such as meteorite. Likewise, the brand’s resolutely high-end positioning enables it to maintain limited production, and thus absolute control over quality, as it relates to the watches themselves as well as to customer relations. Customers are therefore offered a totally personalized service, offered by one set of passionately enthusiastic individuals to another.

Finally, the structure of a company such as ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE, composed of a small team of highly qualified professionals, ensures unrivalled reaction times, in terms of delivery as well as after-sales service. It is by building on these assets and qualities that the Antoine Preziuso Genève brand intends to expand its point-of -sale network in the medium term, based on the current model of a limited number of well-established stores in every continent.

H. MOSER & CIE. – Venturer Small Seconds - White Gold Model, White Dial with Roman Numerals

H. MOSER & CIE. – Venturer Small Seconds - White Gold Model, White Dial with Roman Numerals  NEW


Launched in 2014, the Venturer collection has been widely acclaimed for its unique design, inspired by the convex shapes of the 1960s. In 2015, H. Moser & Cie. is exploring further by launching a resolutely neo-vintage model whose lacquered white dial, decorated with Roman numerals, features a champfered detailing on a circular flange as well as blued steel hands. This watch has an air of understated elegance which is perfectly in tune with the purest art of traditional watchmaking and which hearkens back to the style of the historic pocket watches created by Heinrich Moser.

The Venturer Small Seconds has only been available to date in red gold, and the warmth of this material provides an exceptional accompaniment to the soft, sensual lines of the case. Sophisticated and ultra-refined, its dial of this white gold model is a modern reinterpretation of the watches of the 1920s.

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

Featuring a convex profile beneath its rounded sapphire crystal, this timepiece – like the rest of the Venturer models – has a dial and hands with curved edges, making the most of its three dimensions. Set onto a plate and accentuated by champfered detailing on a flange separated from the bezel, the dial appears to float weightlessly inside the case.

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

The long, tapered hands are made from blued steel, in the purest watchmaking tradition, where the treatment to achieve the blue colour has always been a sign of prestige. They heighten the elegance of this timepiece. The small second recalls the historic pocket watches created by H. Moser & Cie. Offset at 6 o'clock, this subdial is positioned as close as possible to the bottom of the main dial, a technical feat made possible thanks to the exceptional in-house movement fitted within this creation.

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

Powering the Venturer Small Seconds, the hand-wound calibre HMC 327 movement guarantees the watch boasts a minimum power reserve of 3 days. Designed, developed and produced entirely in-house, this movement has been finished and decorated by hand using traditional techniques, perfectly in tune with the model's pure and elegant style.

Harry Winston – Project Z9 Chronograph Flyback Edition

Harry Winston – Project Z9 Chronograph Flyback Edition NEW

The House of Harry Winston introduces Project Z, a high-tech timepiece collection, dedicated to one of the most prestigious complications housed within a sports-like exterior. In keeping with the line’s innovative spirit, the Project Z9 channels a technically sophisticated vibe, which expresses a strong sense of performance through its case, dial and movement.

Like all iterations of Harry Winston’s Project Z, the case of Project Z9 is entirely made in Zalium™, an exclusive alloy, with a range of technical and aesthetic qualities that make it a truly unique material. Zalium’s™ ultra-light and non-allergenic properties make the 44.2 mm case exceptionally comfortable to wear, while its outstanding resistance to corrosion guarantees both its longevity and robustness. Ultimately, it is Zalium’s™, dark gray shade that sets it apart from materials traditionally used in men’s watches. The case of Project Z9 is satin-finished on the smooth surfaces, while the edges are shot-blasted.

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

The Project Z9 is driven by a high-frequency movement, for the first time. The new HW3304 chronograph caliber is equipped with a silicon balance-spring, which permanently beats at a frequency of 5 Hz. This oscillation speed guarantees Project Z9 a particularly precise rate. Caliber HW3304 is also equipped with a flyback function, so there is no need to stop the chronograph to begin a new timing operation, since the hands are reset by simply pressing the pusher at 4 o’clock. Its white gold oscillating weight is skeletonized, revealing a signature Harry Winston geometrical motif. The bridges and plates are chamfered, rhodium plated and adorned with a circular Côtes de Genève motif, in keeping with the traditions of haute horlogerie.

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

The resolutely modern nature of Project Z9 is also expressed on its dial, which is composed of an open-worked 3D grid bearing the indications. This skeletonized frame extends up over the inner bezel ring towards the indexes. The resulting effect is accentuated by two raised chronograph counters, painted in blue that stand out against a white background. The blue color lights up the dial both during the day and at night, since the hands and indexes of Project Z9 are enhanced with blue-emission Superluminova. The shade is also highlighted on the open-work date disk that changes background colors based on the time of day - white by day, and blue by night.

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

With its exceptional movement, and a Zalium™ case that boasts remarkable properties, along with a complex dial, Project Z9 asserts itself as a chronograph that is at once technical, practical and exclusive. Like its predecessors, this ninth chapter in the Project Z saga will be issued in a limited-edition, with only 300 being produced.

BALL Watch – Engineer Master II Super Navigator

BALL Watch – Engineer Master II Super Navigator Chronometer NEW

Announcing the Aviation Chronometer 

with onboard Flight Computer

BALL Watch redefines mission-critical timepieces with the launch of the Engineer Master II Super Navigator, complete with an onboard circular slide rule flight computer.

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

Dubbed “the pilot’s best friend in adverse conditions”, this 46mm watch enables complex flight-related
computing as well as everyday mathematical calculations with a simple twist of the bezel. The heart of these functions lie in the special aviator-grade E6B circular slide rule, which is manipulated via the outsized bezel. They include:

• Essential calculations such as instant multiplication and division functions
• Aviation time-to-arrival calculations
• Airspeed calculations
• Distance calculations
• Fuel consumption calculations
• Nautical Mile / Kilometer conversions
• Even foreign currency conversions

The term “Aviation Chronometer” takes on a new meaning when these complex calculations are matched against  the  additional  Chronograph  timekeeping functions of the watch.

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

Powered by the BALL RR1408-C automatic caliber, and certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), the Engineer Master II Super Navigator not only enables mission-critical functions, but provides instant low-visibility reading from its 21 H 3 micro gas tubes on the watch face. From the green gas tubes on the hour indexes, the yellow tubes on the main hands, to the distinctive bright orange 12 o’clock marking, the watch becomes an indispensable tool for the experienced aviator.

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

In addition, thanks to its Mumetal inner case shielding, providing an anti-magnetic resistance of 80,000 A/m, the Engineer Master II Super Navigator carries the distinction of being one of the highest anti-magnetic
resistance timepieces in the history of BALL Watch. This is essential in ensuring accurate COSC-standard
chronograph  timekeeping  in  potentially  high electrical/magnetic flux environments up in the air. It is also rated to withstand up to 5,000Gs of shock impact and is water resistant to 50 meters.

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

Complete with the distinctive BALL rubber strap and standard buckle, the Engineer Master II Super Navigator can be worn over aviation apparel, and has high functionality even in humid, tropical environments.

With this timepiece, BALL Watch continues to navigate mission-critical  timekeeping  in  the  tradition  of exploration, and honoring the men & women of aviation history.
