ANTOINE MARTIN | Slow RunnerSlow Runner: a new concept – decelerating time. An original idea from the Manufacture Antoine Martin. Drastically reducing the frequency to 7,200 semi-oscillations (vibrations) per hour, meaning 1 Hz, while preserving the qualities of a high-precision watch. On the practical side, the escapement and balance-spring are made of silicon. One essential point is that the giant 24 mm-diameter balance generates so much kinetic energy that it cannot be disturbed. Moreover, the balance features two gold adjustment screws, the balance rim is in grade 3 titanium, and the ultra-precise balance-spring production process enabled watchmakers to optimise its inner point of attach-ment and its curve. All these technical details serve just one mission: that of slowing time down in order to sublimate it.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, AM36.001 calibre, 199 parts, 23 jewels, 7,200 vib/h, 92-hour power reserve; silicon escapement and balance-spring, grade 3 titanium balance, non-deformable steel balance bridges. Functions Hours, minutes, seconds and power reserve. Case Stainless steel or 18k pink gold, 42 mm. Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, transparent back. Water-resistant to 50 m (5 ATM/165 ft). Dial Silver-toned or anthracite. Off-centred hours and minutes. Small seconds on a subdial at 6 o’clock. Power-reserve indication between 9 and 10 o’clock. Strap Black alligator leather with triple folding clasp in stainless steel or 18k pink gold.

ARMIN STROM | Armin Tourbillon Water Armin Strom joins the highly exclusive circle of brands that develop and produce a calibre with a tourbillon in-house. This marks the introduction of a dedicated collection perpetuating the signature codes of the Bienne-based brand and entirely in tune with the tra-ditions of Swiss Fine Watchmaking. Equipped with ATC11 calibre, Tourbillon Water owes its personality and its technical sophistication from the heart of this subtle chemistry. The complication located at 9 o’clock is distinguished by its 18-carat white gold lever, as well as by a construction placing the balance and the seconds pinion along the same axis. The hand-wound calibre has a 10-day power reserve. It is driven by two barrels of which the winding mechanism is visible

through the dial: an opening onto the mechanism bearing the unmistakable Armin Strom signature.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, Armin Strom tourbillon ATC 11 calibre, 184 parts, 18,000 vib/h, 161/2

lines, 24 jewels, 10-day power reserve, twin barrel, balance with screws and Breguet overcoil balance-spring, 18k white gold lever wheel and lever. Functions Hours, minutes and seconds.

BADOLLET | IvresseBeneath a seemingly subdued surface lie hidden mechanical depths… Ivresse is the latest manufacture timepiece by Badollet. The rectangular case, in platinum, embraces the wrist with its gentle curves while its finishes convey absolute purity that serves to highlight the midnight blue dial. Such contrast is heightened by the brushed finish of the dial which itself is set against a circular satin-brushed hour ring. This refined aesthetic, the work of Eric Giroud, is equalled only by the mechanical complexity that brings this timepiece to life. The flying tourbillon mo-vement, exclusively designed and developed for Badollet, is delibera-tely hidden from view, revealed only through the transparent case back whose sapphire crystal takes the shape of the infinity symbol, a tribute to time as the universal driving force.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, flying tourbillon, 120-hour power reserve; domed movement with cone-shaped going train, hanging barrel, hand-decorated plate in nickel silver, traditionally-executed chamfering, chasing, counter-sinking, circular graining and straight graining. Functions Hours and minutes. Case 950 platinum, 30 x 53.80 mm. Sapphire crystal with extra-hard, anti-reflective coating on both sides. Flat, anti-reflective transparent back. Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft). Dial Dark blue, vertical satin-brushed finish on the back. 12 nickel-plated, mirror-polished, riveted metal hour-markers. 36 nickel-plated, incised beads. Riveted applied Badollet logo. Strap Midnight blue alligator, hand-rolled edges, 950 platinum buckle.

ARNOLD & SON | DBSDBS. Three initials that pay tribute to the heritage and expertise of Arnold & Son, once again placing the brand in the forefront of horo-logical complications. Sidereal time and mean solar time (local time) appear side by side on the same dial. Between 1796 and 1799, John Roger Arnold achieved considerable feats in this field, now echoed two centuries later by the brand bearing his name. This timepiece featuring perfect aesthetic and mechanical symmetry bears two in-dependently operating counters. Powering these two entities is an entirely in-house designed, developed and produced “mirror-type” calibre. It comprises two balances and two barrels – one running at a 24-hour speed and the other at 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. The openworked dial provides a clear display of the two mechanisms operating side by side without interfering with each

other. Doubtless liable to propel aficionados into even higher orbit are the sidereal and solar indications appearing at 12 o’clock and which are read off in 24-hour mode.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound Calibre A&S1311, 42 jewels, 21,600 vib/h, 40-hour power reserve; rho-diumed nickel silver, hand-bevelled bridges and sides, “Côtes de Genève” motif, blued screws. Functions Hours, minutes and seconds in local time, sidereal hours and minutes and 24-hour indication of local and sidereal time. Case 18k pink gold, 44 mm. Local time crown at 3 o’clock and sidereal time crown at 9 o’clock. Cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides and transparent caseback. Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft). Dial Silver-toned white and opaline silver-toned, openworked. Central local time seconds hand. Local time indication at 3 o’clock and sidereal time at 9 o’clock. 24-hour local time and sidereal time indications. Strap Hand-sewn brown alligator leather with 18k pink gold buckle.

BREGUET | Breguet Type XXII 3880 10 Hz Or RoseThe iconic Breguet Type XXII this year extends to a new iteration in rose gold, with a movement vibrating at an increased frequency of 10 Hz (72,000 vibrations/hour) thanks to a silicon escapement with flat balance spring. This high frequency delivers outstanding precision and regulating performance for a chronograph whose seconds hand sweeps the dial in 30 seconds. The red and white markers on the minute scale, on the inner bezel ring, show whether the hand is on its first or second rotation. In addition, this exceptional timepiece incorporates a flyback function, a second time zone with 24-hour indicator, date, and small seconds making one complete revolution in half a minute.

Movement Mechanical automatic, 589F calibre, 13¾ lines, 27 jewels, 72,000 vib/h, 40-hour power reserve, high-frequency silicon escapement and balance spring. Functions Hours, minutes, seconds (30-seconds base), date, flyback chronograph (½ minute), dual time zone with 24-hour indicator for the second time zone. Case 18k rose gold, fluted caseband, 44 mm. Bi-directional rotating bezel with 60-minute scale. Water-resistant to 100 m (10 ATM / 10 bar). Dial Brown. Centre red chronograph hand on a 30-seconds base. Centre half-minute hand. Small seconds on a 30-seconds base at 9 o’clock. Second time zone at 6 o’clock with 24-hour indicator at 3 o’clock. Date window at 6 o’clock. Strap Brown alligator with 18k rose gold folding clasp.

DE BETHUNE | DB16 Régulateur TourbillonWith the DB16, De Bethune celebrates classic Fine Watchmaking in a ballet of complications. The architecture of the DB2509 calibre is built around a silicon and titanium tourbillon beating at 36,000 vib/h, one of the fastest and lightest on the market. This movement also drives a power indicator, seconds, as well as a retrograde display of the age of the moon. Hidden on the back of the watch, this masterpiece will surprise connoisseurs looking for subtle details. The classically understated dial thus provides readings of the per-petual calendar and spherical moon-phase indications, sublimated by the Manufacture’s signature silver-toned guilloché motif. The steady, rhythmical beat of the jumping seconds embodies the very essence

of the horological emotions procured by this stunning creation.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, DB 2509 calibre, silicon/titanium tourbillon, 499 parts, 45 jewels, 36,000 vib/h, 4-day power reserve; double self-regulating barrel, silicon/white gold balance, silicon escape-wheel, Côtes de Bethune decoration. Functions Hours, minutes, jumping seconds, perpetual calendar, age and phases of the moon, power reserve and power indicator. Case 18k pink gold, 43 mm. Transparent back with tourbillon, 30-second counter, retrograde age of the moon indication and power reserve. Dial Silver-toned, radiating hand-guilloché motif. Day, date and month windows at 9, 6 and 3 o’clock. Star-studded sky in flame-blued steel inlaid with gold stars, with spherical moon-phase indicator in platinum and flame-blued steel at 12 o’clock.

FRANC VILA | FVi N°8 Tourbillon Intrepido SuperLigero SkeletonThe FVi No.8 Tourbillon INTREPIDO SuperLigero Skeleton pursues the concept first introduced five years ago. In 2011, the INTREPIDO design, a second evolution of the Franc Vila case, also adopted the SuperLigero approach. The association of ultra-thin materials and proven sturdiness are the starting point for these products. Their common denominator is “Lightnium”, an aluminium and lithium alloy used in aeronautical engineering and picked up by the watchmaking both in development movements and in the aesthetic expression of these creations. The FVi No.8 features the famous bezel with its combined elliptical and circular shape that has become a brand signature. It is equipped with a hand-wound tourbillon movement

with Lightnium bridges, silicon escape-wheel and lever, as well as an oscillating weight adorned with Côtes de Genève – all combining to prove that the brand is uncompromising on both technical and aesthetic fronts. 8-piece limited edition.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, FV N°8 calibre, tourbillon, 178 parts, 17 jewels, 21,600 vib/h, 4.5-day power reserve; 5N Lightnium bridges, flat balance-spring, brass oscillating weight adorned with “Côtes de Genève”. Functions Hours and minutes. Case Elliptical and circular bezel with 18k pink gold inserts. DLC-coated black titanium case middle. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal, front and back. Water-resistant to 100 m (10 ATM/330 ft). Dial Transparent sapphire. Tourbillon at 6 o’clock. Strap Black rubber with folding clasp.

GIRARD-PERREGAUX | DLC Titanium Bi-Axial TourbillonGirard-Perregaux offers an exclusive limited edition of its Bi-Axial Tourbillon. The modern architecture of the iconic movement is enhanced by a black DLC titanium case as well as magnificently contrasting colours and materials. This timepiece is an authentic mas-terpiece equipped with two concentric cages enabling the regulating organ to perform multidimensional rotations. An inner carriage bearing the balance, the balance-spring and the escapement, spins once around its axis every 45 seconds; while an outer carriage makes a full turn in one minute and fifteen seconds, thus enabling a rotation around a second axis. The second emblematic signature feature is the perfectly aligned architecture of the bridges, reflecting the crea-

tions of Constant Girard and his successive research that gave rise to the “Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges”. 8-piece limited edition.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, GPE0201 calibre, Bi-Axial Tourbillon, 28 jewels, 21,600 vib/h, 72-hour power reserve; two coaxial barrels, barrel bridges and centre bridge in 18k white gold, balance-spring with Phillips, variable-inertia balance with 18k gold adjusting screws. Functions Hours and minutes. Case Black DLC-coated titanium, 45 mm. Sapphire crystal. Screw-down sapphire crystal back. Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft). Strap Black alligator with folding clasp.

HUBLOT | Classic Fusion Tourbillon Squelette Black CeramicThe latest new release from Hublot radiates a powerful visual pre-sence. The Tourbillon Squelette Black Ceramic remains true to the brand’s identity codes, including a black monochrome design, while displaying a slimmer profile that gives it a more classic touch. But if there is one brand that knows how to combine tradition with the future, Hublot is definitely it! The openworked movement entirely designed, developed and produced by the Hublot watchmakers is resolutely graphic. The polished and satin-brushed black ceramic case radiates a sophisticated, contemporary appeal. And the most beautiful of all horological complications – the tourbillon – is revea-led in all its splendour at 6 o’clock. In a nod to brand history, the

hands echo the design of the very first Hublot watches, providing a fine demonstration of fusion between past and present, behind hand-crafted expertise and creative vision. 99-piece limited series.

HARRY WINSTON | Histoire de Tourbillon 4The latest development in this collection by Harry Winston, Histoire de Tourbillon 4 is a masterwork of precision contained in a dramatic but refined design. Its heart is a tourbillon inside three concentric cages, each rotating at a different speed and at a different angle. Histoire de Tourbillon 4 has two, fast rotating barrels to deliver superior energy with lower friction. The variable inertia balance is controlled by 18k gold timing screws in the rim. Bold, contemporary colours and an “open grid” dial configuration accentuate the movement, as do the domed sapphire crystals which are arranged on multiple levels. 20-piece limited series.

HYT | H1 Pink Gold - Black DLCThe concept behind the H1 by HYT remains defiantly the same, and as astonishing as ever! This new version matches pink gold with the black DLC titanium of the original. A hybrid wristwatch combining horological mechanics with fluid mechanics seems like an impossible dream, and yet… Two reservoirs take position at 6 o’clock. As one compresses, the other expands, pushing the liquid through the capillary. As the hours go by, the fluorescent liquid advances. The meniscus, in the shape of a half moon, marks the breaking point with the other fluid in the tube, indicating the time. At 18:00, in a retrograde mo-vement, the fluorescent liquid reverts back to its original position. Overlapping the minute regulator in the centre is the small seconds counter that looks for all the world like a waterwheel. Revolutionary and inspired, HYT takes an out-of-the-box approach to time.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, exclusive HYT calibre, 28,800 vib/h, 35 jewels, hand-chamfered bridges with “Côtes de Genève” motif, rhodium-plated bellows, 65-hour power reserve. Functions Retrograde fluid hours, minutes, seconds and power-reserve indicator. Case 18k rose gold and black DLC titanium with brushed finish, 48.8 mm. Rubber-clad screw-lock crown. Metallic dome at 6 o’clock. Cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside. Screw-down sapphire back. Water-resistant to 100 m (10 ATM/330 ft). Dial Destructured, black. Luminescent fluid hours, hour-markers and hands. Regulator at 12 o’clock. Small seconds wheel between 9 and 10 o’clock. Power-reserve indicator between 2 and 3 o’clock. Strap Rubber, black DLC titanium buckle.

MANJAZ | Yin and Yang TourbillonYin and Yang tourbillon, two timepieces, two expressions of the Manjaz values: the entire Swiss expertise and tradition combined with Chinese philosophy. This concept has been forged under the guidance of watchmaker Cédric Grandperret. The prime purpose is to highlight the supreme horological complication, the tourbillon. Majestically positioned at 6 o’clock, it enhances the symmetry of the dial and its geometrical play: vertical Côtes de Genève, Roman numerals and a guilloché disc engraved with the brand logo. Moreover, Manjaz is also keenly aware that a modern touch is very important, and the dial is finely crafted, hollowed and sublimated. The 41 mm pink gold case provides a perfect setting in which to magnify this cosmopolitan harmony. The Yin – powered by the MAZ-001 calibre – and the Yang – by the MAZ-002 calibre – face off in a splendid mechanical duel. It

will now be up to enthusiasts to choose between these two protagonists.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, Tourbillon MAZ-001 calibre (Yin) and MAZ-002 (Yang), 16 jewels, 21,600 vib/h, 42-hour power reserve. Functions Hours and minutes. Case 18k pink or yellow gold, 41 mm. Sapphire crystal, front and back, with anti-reflective coating on both sides. Water-resistant to 50 m (5 ATM/165 ft). Dial Openworked, central “Côtes de Genève” motif. Roman numerals. Tourbillon at 6 o’clock. Strap Brown crocodile with 18k pink or yellow gold buckle.

MAURICE LACROIX | Masterpiece Seconde MystérieuseMaurice Lacroix brings a new face to time measurement with its Masterpiece Seconde Mystérieuse. Fascinating, captivating, uncon-ventional… this timepiece is all of these but, more than anything, it is mysterious. Driven by a new proprietary movement, the ML215, – the twelfth to be entirely developed by the brand – it indicates seconds on a linear display combining vertical and horizontal scales, read per 15 seconds. The mystery comes from a blued steel hand that rotates on its axis, creating the illusion of levitation. Hours and minutes are shown at 2 o’clock; the rest of the dial is cut away to reveal rhodium- or ruthenium-plated bridges whose geometric form lends an infinitely contemporary feel. Made as two 125-piece limited series.

Movement Mechanical automatic, ML215 calibre, 48 jewels, 18,000 vib/h, 50-hour power reserve, rhodium or ruthenium plating, sanded finish, “Côtes de Genève” motif on the rotor. Functions Hours, minutes and seconds. Case Stainless steel or steel with black PVD coating, satin and polished finish, 43 mm. Cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. Water-resistant to 50 m (5 ATM/5 bar). Dial Open-worked. Offset hours and minutes, white lacquer, rhodium-plated Arabic numerals. Seconds display on a white background with black and grey printed minute scale under a flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. Strap Brown or black crocodile, lined with brown or black calfskin with coordinated top-stitching.

MCT | Sequential One - S110The resolutely technical design of the Sequential One – S110, an evolution of the previous model made by Eric Giroud, is the work of watchmaking designer Fabrice Gonet. Its sophisticated and immediately recognisable style is a tribute by MCT to the emergence of a style combi-ning the avant-garde with traditional Swiss horology. The openworked dial has been entirely removed in order to reveal the depth of the watch and to accentuate the perspectives created by the prism assemblies, the cross-shaped bridge and the minutes pointer. The minutes disc, the central element of the Sequential One – S110, highlights the com-plexity of the design while underscoring the harmony of the passing of time. The pointers, like the jumping hour hand, demonstrate me-ticulous attention to details, while the new style of the numerals on the prisms and the minutes disc are decidedly more contemporary.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, 471 parts, 81 jewels, 18,000 vib/h, 40-hour power reserve, patent for the minute disc rotation with energy accumulation. Functions Sequential indication of the hours, jumping minutes and small seconds. Case Grade 5 titanium with or without black DLC coating, 44 parts, 45 mm. Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides, and sapphire back with anti-reflective coating on the inside. Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft). Dial Hours indicated by 4 assemblies of 5 triangular prisms. Minutes indication by a 2 three-part 270° rotating disc. Central sapphire crystal dividing the dial into two separate parts. Strap Hand-sewn calfskin lined with hypoallergenic leather, safety folding clasp.

PIERRE DEROCHE | TNT Royal Retro Power ReservePierre DeRoche offers a new interpretation of its iconic TNT Royal Retro model enriched with a power reserve. The spectacular com-plication thus makes way during a full 20 seconds for the elegant mechanism of the new function positioned at 6 o’clock. The four re-maining retrograde seconds mechanisms are nonetheless enough to give this timepiece unique character and to display the avant-garde talent of the watchmaker from the Vallée de Joux. Loyal to the TNT spirit, the movement, and notably the four power-reserve wheels, are entirely visible and magnificently decorated. A fine mechanical blend of strength and delicacy.

Movement Mechanical automatic, exclusive Dubois Dépraz calibre, 50 jewels, decorated and engraved oscillating weight, 12-pivot central bridge and 6 chamfered and satin-finished seconds bridges, moving retrograde hand indicators, hand affixed by a transversal pin, 4 retrograde seconds hands on gears, strip-spring return. Functions Hours, minutes, seconds with retrograde function on four 10-second sectors, date and power reserve. Case Black PVD-coated titanium middle, 47.5 mm. Bezel, lugs, crown guard and crown in steel. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal, front and back. Water-resistant to 100 m (10 ATM/330 ft). Strap Alligator with steel safety folding clasp.

REBELLION | T-1000 GothamThis new super-hero of a whole new kind is dedicated to fighting… time. With the T-1000 Gotham by Rebellion, expect a forceful inter-vention! With its new armour made of titanium – either natural or black DLC-coated – it features a whole new look similar to that of a tank. Moreover, its mechanism now available in black, gold, red, blue or purple versions gives it a resolutely eye-catching look! Its secret weapon lies in its stunning 1,000-hour power reserve – a world-first achievement made possible by the six barrels wound in parallel via a central prop shaft driving two chains. The time is read off vertically on two rollers. At 6 o’clock, the double hairspring inclined at 39° releases colossal power at a precisely controlled rate, notably thanks to an oversized lever. The T-shaped sapphire crystal also gives pride of place to this superb sculpture with its nerves of steel. 25-piece limited edition.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound REB T-1000 calibre, made of black, gold, red, blue or purple avional, 14 ceramics & 22 jewels, 18,000 vib/h, 693 parts, double hairspring inclined at 39°, patented system of six mainsprings wound in parallel by two chains, over 1,000-hour power reserve.

SPERO LUCEM | La ClémenceFirmly anchored in the Eaux-Vives district of Geneva, a stone’s throw from Lake Léman and its famous Jet d’eau, the Spero Lucem brand has been created through a rare association of horological com-petencies. Yvan Arpa thereby orchestrates a sincere tribute to his home town and has named the brand’s first model, a minute repea-ter “La Clémence” – after one of the bells on Geneva’s cathedral. Equipped with a tourbillon with a carriage performing one turn per minute, this exceptional model houses a third and unprecedented complication in the shape of hands which “go crazy” when the striking mechanism is activated. Everything is done to ensure a complete focus on the sound, but suddenly the visual magic takes over once more and the hands return to their correct place. A brand that aspires to light… Spero Lucem.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, flying tourbillon, 471 parts, 59 jewels, 21,600 vib/h, 90-hour power reserve. Functions Hours, minutes, crazy hands and minute repeater.

JULIEN COUDRAY 1518 | Manufactura 1528Know-how and tradition meet and merge under the impetus of Fabien Lamarche and his “collective” of experts. Manufacture 1528 revisits the classic three-hand watch and adds a rare function: a service indicator. An oil drop appears through an enamelled gold aperture at 12 o’clock, indicating the need for a maintenance service. Other exclusive feature lies in the fact that all the main movement parts are machined from solid gold and then hand-decorated. The dial motif – a modern in-terpretation of the steeple clocks on Renaissance churches – is crafted in grand feu enamel. This model is issued in 28-piece limited series per version: yellow gold, red gold, white gold or platinum.

CUERVO Y SOBRINOS | Historiador FlameanteThe Swiss brand with a Latin soul, Cuervo Y Sobrinos excels in brin-ging its history to life in its watches. Once again this year, the brand revives a landmark model from its past. The Historiador Flameante pays tribute to a 1950s watch. Flameante or flaming like the finely guilloché dial and movement finishes: the Côtes de Genève pattern on the plate, the blued screws, and the “Testimony of Style since 1882” inscription engraved around the movement, all visible through the sapphire crystal back. The hand-wound calibre, with small seconds offset at 6 o’clock, is housed inside a rose gold case whose 40 millimetre diameter is both classic and universally pleasing. Cuervo Y Sobrinos again transports its history into the 21st century

and, today as yesterday, proves it is an accomplished advocate of refinement and elegance.

AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPHS

AUGUSTE REYMOND | Jazz Age Moon PhaseBack to the 1930s, halcyon days for Auguste Reymond when the company ranked among those known in the industry as the “watch barons”. This was also the golden age of jazz, and the moon phase a complication the company already mastered. Jazz Age Moonphase is thus a tribute on two counts, to the exciting jazz years and to the brand’s own golden era. The full calendar and chronograph indications are driven by the Valjoux 7751 calibre. The silver-toned guilloché dial assembles small seconds and 24-hour display at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute counter, day and month windows at 12 o’clock, and a 12-hour counter and moon phases at 6 o’clock. The mobile attachments add to the elegance of this original, deliciously vintage timepiece.

BREITLING | Transocean Chronograph 38First-class femininity: a motto that applies perfectly to the new Breitling Transocean Chronograph 38. Along with the satisfaction of having achieved perfect mastery of short times, the brand can now also claim to have a way with women. The case with its pure lines comes in red gold or steel versions. The finely crafted dials are avai-lable in black, silver-toned or midnight blue versions, while the back bears the two stylised planes that were a longtime Breitling symbol. A mechanical model powered by an automatic movement officially chronometer-certified by the COSC and representing the epitome of elegance fitted with a leather or crocodile strap in a broad choice of refined colours, the Transocean Chronograph 38 is entirely in line

with the brand’s range of elegant, high-performing instruments.

BREITLING FOR BENTLEY | Bentley Light Body Midnight CarbonThe latest timepiece to carry the Breitling for Bentley name is an ul-tra-light, ultra-sporty creation, issued as a 1,000-piece limited edition. The all-black exterior of the Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon conceals a tough but lightweight titanium chassis with a high-resis-tance, carbon-based treatment. The dashboard-inspired dial features two Breitling exclusives - a “30-second chrono” and a “variable tachy-meter” - with red-accented indications. The originality and force of this black-clad design are further emphasised by the mat black hour-markers and hands, and by the rubber strap that takes its knurled pattern from Bentley radiator grilles.

Movement Mechanical automatic, Breitling 25B calibre, COSC-certified, 38 jewels, 28,800 vib/h. Functions Hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph and variable tachymeter. Case Black titanium, 49 mm. Rotating pinion bezel with circular slide rule. Cambered sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. Water-resistant to 100 m (10 Bar/10 ATM).

Like the reference model, the new C1 Chronograph stands out for a sophisticated design with an artful blend of high-tech materials, including eight ceramic inserts around the distinctive bezel. A brilliant demonstration of Concord’s talent for beautiful timepieces that cut to the essence.

DUBEY & SCHALDENBRAND | Grand Dôme DT Rose GoldDubey & Schaldenbrand addresses an audience of cognoscenti looking for exclusive creations; those which associate compelling designs with superlative mechanical movements. The brand’s favourite tonneau form has inspired many coveted models, including the Grand Dôme DT Rose Gold. The ingeniously proportioned case, true to the values of the ASTRO collection, makes no secret of its technical and aesthetic prowess. Dial and hands also testify to this distinctly contemporary impulse, along with the watch’s other attributes, not least the Valjoux 7751 chrono calibre and the brown alligator strap. Available in rose gold or a combination of rose gold and steel.

EBERHARD & CO. | Chrono 4 Géant Full InjectionThe flagship collection at Eberhard & Co embraces a new all-black edition, the Chrono 4 Géant “Full Injection”, a timepiece so tech-nically complex that only 500 will be produced. The steel case and strap buckle are covered in black DLC-Dianoir® - Diamond Like Coating - a patented, carbon surface treatment. The 46 mm case also undergoes a special process of low-temperature carbon diffu-sion that hardens the steel by allowing carbon atoms to penetrate its surface. Two processes that strengthen the watch’s resistance and add to its style. This same explosive energy resurfaces in the black dial with “Côtes de Genève” motif, the coordinating snailed coun-ters, and the rubber strap with vertical sculpted lines.

Movement Mechanical automatic with 4 horizontally aligned counters (minutes, hours, 24 hours and small seconds), EB. 250 calibre, 121/2 lines, 53 jewels.

HAMILTON | Jazzmaster Face2faceHamilton ventures into new terrain by giving its latest innovation, the Jazzmaster Face2face, a dual identity. Avant-garde on the one hand, classic on the other, this is a watch with two very different persona-lities… that are destined never to meet. How does it work? A single rotating case houses two dials, hence two automatic calibres: a chro-no and a three-hands. Alternate between faces to match your mood or as a second time zone, and a different personality is revealed: bold and sophisticated, or elegant and serene. A black leather strap with blue lining and top-stitching completes an illusion that is more real than it seems. Limited edition of 888.

Movement Mechanical automatic, ETA 2094 (chrono) and ETA 2671 (3 hands), skeletonised rotors and exclusive decoration. Functions Hours, minutes, seconds (3 hands), chronograph and date. Case

HUBLOT | Big Bang Ferrari “Carbon Red Magic”The success of the two first Big Bang Ferrari watches in 2012 is already inspiring new models! Three timepieces are to join the ex-tremely select circle of this cooperation between Ferrari and Hublot, including the Carbon Red Magic. With a case and a movement – named the UNICO – entirely designed, developed and produced at Hublot, this watch is the symbol of the brand’s progress towards vertical integration. It boasts a wealth of performance, including a re-liable and robust Flyback chronograph function distinguished by the original positioning of its double coupling-clutch mechanism and the famous column wheel visible on the dial side. The equally impressive carbon fibre case is built on a multi-layered principle that avoids

bubbles and thus enhances its resistance. Finally, the mass of the red sapphire crystal was coloured directly during its making, thereby guaranteeing its unalterability.

Movement Mechanical automatic, Manufacture UNICO HUB 1241 calibre, 330 parts, 28,800 vib/H, 72-hour power reserve; beadblasted and satin-brushed black oscillating weight shaped like a Ferrari wheel rim.

RADO | HyperChrome Automatic ChronographThe new Rado HyperChrome Automatic Chronograph is a landmark in the history of watchmaking, as it world-premieres a 45mm mono-coque case that uses injection-moulding technology to combine ce-ramic with steel. It’s also a milestone for the brand as it continues to hone its designs: fluid, subtle and stylish.

ALPINA | Sailing Yachttimer CountdownAlpina builds further on its Sailing collection with the Yachttimer Countdown. The first unmistakable sign that this is a serious sailing watch is the countdown window from 0 to 4 that runs into a fluo-rescent START indicator when the action begins.

CORUM | Ti-Bridge Automatic Dual WinderThe new version of Corum’s unique baguette movement combines a revolutionary patented winding system, an original Manufacture movement, a new titanium case and an architecture loyal to the linearity that has forged the strength of this collection. The Ti-Bridge Automatic Dual Winder is indeed an exceptional timepiece. To endow the Ti-Bridge with its first automatic calibre, Corum has developed an inline winding system that heralds a new chapter in watchmaking history. The Dual Winder system draws its energy from two inline-mounted circular oscillating weights, interconnected via a transmission arbor that makes them move in parallel – a world-first for this avant-garde timepiece. The CO207 movement is held in the centre of the

case by four titanium cross-bars. The impression of a suspended mechanism is further accentuated by the line’s intrinsic transparency, framed by an anthracite grey dial.

The “Skeleton” model is about transparency and avant-garde design. The anthracite inner bezel ring circles the triretrograde mechanism which is set against a sandblas-ted grey background. The watch’s technical appeal is heightened by the tiny blued screws that secure the silver-toned bridges. Classic yet contemporary defines the “Clous de Paris” variant. The centre of the white dial is embellished with a delicate guilloché motif.

TISSOT | Tissot Luxury Automatic Developing new technology is embedded in Tissot’s DNA, and why the brand can now present the Tissot Luxury Automatic whose me-chanical movement - the Powermatic 80 - is nothing short of revo-lutionary. Tissot’s spirit of innovation by tradition and ETA’s expertise in the creation of movements makes a winning combination and has led to groundbreaking technology. A new spring-barrel develops an incredible power reserve of more than three days. The regulator system has been redesigned for a more precise, more robust mo-vement. The Tissot signature is also evident in the care that prevails over the finishes. With alternating polished and satin surfaces, and a black or mother-of-pearl dial, with or without diamonds, the Tissot Luxury Automatic comes with a thousand facets but a single unique and exquisite aesthetic.

YESLAM | Aviator IIIAt the confluence of aviation and watchmaking, Yeslam is proud to present its latest creation, Aviator III, a watch designed by and for pilots. Its particularity is that it can calculate the speed of an object in relation to the speed of sound (Mach). Its many other attributes include an automatic movement with alarm and dual time zone, a rotating bezel made from cobalt, a titanium case and a calfskin strap whose elegant perforations confirm the aviator style. With this new product, Yeslam cleverly combines two domains in what is both a timepiece and a flight instrument; two distinct worlds with precision and excellence as their common denominator.

ARTYA | Son of a Gun TargetArtyA takes aim and scores a bullseye! Son of a Gun Target offers further proof of the eccentricity or genius of the Swiss watch industry’s favourite agent provocateur through this ori-ginal association between time and firearms. The dial and the bezel represent a target and this time there are no bullets floating around the dial, but instead traces of cannon powder mixed with gold leaf. The lugs are set with 32 diamonds, thus creating a truly explosive combination. A formidable horolo-gical weapon created by Yvan Arpa.

Movement Mechanical automatic, 25 jewels, oscillating weight engraved with a target, 42-hour power reserve. Functions Hours, minutes and seconds. Case 316L stainless steel, 47 mm. Bezel engraved with a target. Sapphire crystal and back. Lugs set with 32 diamonds (1.00 ct). Water-resistant to 50 m (5 ATM/ 165 ft). Dial Stainless steel engraved with a target.

ARTYA | Son of SoundSon of Sound promises to make a lot of noise.

After the Son of Earth models with butterfly wings, Son of Gears with its in-house compli-cations, and Son of a Gun with authentic cartridges, ArtyA presents Son of Sound. Its name, its guitar head-shaped case, its pushers inspired by tuning pegs and its hands sweeping over metronome-type discs are all elements that give time a unique rhythm. The rest awaits discovery at Baselworld in the company of the maestro himself.

Movement Mechanical automatic, ArtyA-007 calibre. Functions Retrograde hours and minutes, chronograph. Case 18k pink gold and titanium, shaped like a guitar head. 4 pushers shaped like tuning pegs.

CHARRIOL | Colvmbvs™ Grande Date GMTCharriol sails towards new horizons with its latest timepiece, inspired by Christopher Columbus: the Colvmbvs™ Grande Date GMT. The generous 46mm case overtly refers to navi-gation and sailing: the interlocking triangles around the caseband suggest compass points, the crown takes the shape of a rigging shackle, and the sapphire crystal is engraved with the explorer’s portrait. Large date and dual time zone functions make this watch the traveller’s ideal companion. Equally stylish and func-tional, it is proposed as a 300-piece limited series.

Movement Mechanical automatic, Technotime 651 calibre with GMT module; open-worked oscillating weight, engraved with Charriol’s emblematic cable pattern.

COINWATCH | Mark Collection C143SBKCoinwatch extends its collection with the C143SBK, another illustration of the “mark of perfection” that inspires its name and is a defining trait of each of its watches. True to tradition, this new model explores the brand’s symbol of a coin. This time, an ancient Chinese medallion has settled at 12 o’clock. The openwork dial at the same spot offers a glimpse of the movement at work. The coin-like contours of the case put the seal on this timepiece’s very special identity.

Movement Mechanical automatic, ETA 2824 calibre. Functions Hours, minutes and seconds. Case 316L stainless steel, 42 mm. Sapphire crystal front and back. Water-resistant to 50 m (5 bar/5 ATM).

Inspired by ancient coins, this watch comes as a 40 mm version for gents and a 30 mm version for ladies. Both sport a bracelet and case in steel matched with rose gold PVD coating. The difference is in the dial, with a guilloché motif for him and white mother-of-pearl for her. And while madam is treated to 10 diamond hour-markers, monsieur sparkles too with 8 diamond hour-markers and a date window.

EPOS | 3420 Limited Edition COSCIntroducing a classic. The 3420 Limited Edition by Epos eschews excess but refuses to compromise on finish. This COSC-certified watch is driven by an automatic ETA 2892 calibre, open to view through the transparent back. The three hands - hours, minutes and seconds – sweep its 40mm round dial. This elegant black and gold landscape is punctuated only by the date window at 3 o’clock. The 7mm case height makes this an eminently comfortable watch to wear while its limited-edition status – 100 pieces in steel, 200 pieces in black PVD – ensures a certain exclusivity.

Movement Mechanical automatic, ETA 2892, COSC-certified, decorated movement. Functions Hours, minutes, seconds and date. Case Stainless steel or black PVD steel, 40 mm.

EPOS | 3424SKEpos exalts time with the 3424SK. A time-only model, perhaps, but infused with a modern touch beginning with the skeleton sculpting of the Unitas movement. Hand-decorated, it comes in steel or steel with a black PVD coating. Two versions for an equally striking result. Then there is the dial, or rather its very clear absence with just a small seconds ring, off-centred at 9 o’clock, and a minute track around the inner bezel. Again, aficionados will appreciate the variations in colour. The quin-tessence of time in just 42 millimetres.

Movement Mechanical hand-wound, Unitas 6497 calibre in steel or black PVD steel, skeletonised and engraved, blued screws. Functions Hours, minutes and seconds.

ERNEST BOREL | Jules Borel CollectionErnest Borel presents the namesake Jules Borel collection in recognition of the outstanding relationship between the brand and its founder, who believed time should be syno-nymous with elegance and romance.

The design of the models in the Jules Borel collec-tion conveys energy and movement, while the Swiss-Made automatic 9040 calibre, rose gold-plated bezel, diamond- enhanced power-reserve indicator and two-tone bracelet make this a highly desirable and prestigious collection.

For enhanced readability below the water, the black dial is enhanced with applied hour-markers and Superluminova-highlighted hands, while the minutes and seconds are red-rimmed.

MIDO | CommanderMido’s Commander gets a new design without losing any of its distinctive character. This transformation is as much techni-cal as it is visual, with an architecture of curves and obliques that looks pointedly to the Eiffel Tower as a mark of true design. The steel case and bracelet are another nod across to the Parisian landmark, as is the sunburst satin anthracite dial whose hour-markers evoke the tower’s struts. Meanwhile, the automatic movement brings the guarantee of the same remarkable longevity.

MIDO | Great WallThe Great Wall of Mido heralds the introduction of a new collection and celebrates the similarities between the time-piece and the Great Wall of China! Its singular design is di-rectly inspired by the architecture of this huge fortification, with a raised dial centre motif resembling paving stones. A striated disc cut through by large hour-markers echoes the ramparts of the Wall, as do the fluted sides of the case. The COSC-certified automatic movement visible through the transparent caseback testifies to other related values: resis-tance and singularity.

ZEITWINKEL | 188°While this latest creation from Zeitwinkel is distinguished by its understated elegance and its design inspired by pocket watches, the 188° model also highlights the refinement and expertise inherent in Swiss styling and quality. The galvanic blue dial, the off-centred seconds at 6 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock also testify to this harmonious tradition. Lending a subtly innovative touch, the modestly sized 39 mm-diameter case houses an automatic Manufacture movement, the ZW0102 calibre. Three other black, silver and rhodiumed versions are available.

ZEITWINKEL | 273°Zeitwinkel expresses its nature through the 273° model and notably through its aesthetic choices, thanks to a clever play on contrasts between rounded and linear shapes, polished surfaces and textured zones that make this timepiece so distinctive. It also reveals its character through its approach to customer relations, since the youthful Saint-Imier-based brand is earning a constantly enhanced reputation for its me-chanical ingenuity and its independence, while continuing to focus on direct contacts.

JEWELLERY WATCHES

ALFEX | Translucent 8xA watch, an accessory, a piece of jewellery: with its Translucent 8x, the Ticino-based Alfex brand explores uncharted territory. This contemporary and avant-garde watch innovates first and foremost in terms of its shape with a bangle-type textured acrylic strap, and secondly through its lines. An octagon duplicated all around the strongly curving bracelet creates a wire mesh pattern composing a sequence of “8” numbers echoing the mathematical symbol of infinity. The off-centred dial shakes up conventions by framing the outlines of four assembled octagons. This model showcases the technical and aesthetic talents of Alfex by achieving a perfect balance between materials: supple and transparent acrylic on the one hand, and sturdy steel on the other, all in harmonious shades of grey. Like all Alfex creations, Translucent 8x embodies the watchmaker’s commitment

to producing resolutely future-oriented timepieces with high added value.

BLANCPAIN | Women Collection, Chronographe Grande DateEstablished in 1735, Blancpain is the oldest watch manufacture in the world, renowned as much for its superlative watches, all created in-house, as for its calibres – 26 innovations over the past seven years. The new Chronographe Grande Date is no exception to this tradition. From the very first glance, the shimmering mother-of-pearl dial reveals two waves of 17 variously-sized diamonds rippling out from the centre. At 12 o’clock, the offset hour and minute display with Roman numerals on a mother-of-pearl dial creates a dynamic counterpoint to the Arabic numerals on the chronograph counters. Twin apertures at 6 o’clock frame the double-disc large date display. The red gold case with diamond-set bezel contains the Blancpain

26F8G calibre with its petal-shaped oscillating weight, visible through the sapphire crystal back.

The gemset white gold model enriching the existing jewellery collection refers to an historical period known for its magnificent goldsmithing: the Etruscan civili-sation of which the Ticino-based brand reproduces the distinctive granulation technique. This consists of adorning the surface to be decorated with thousands of tiny gold granules and of fixing them to the piece of jewellery by soldering, yet without modifying their finesse. The bezel and bracelet links display this 7th century expertise now interpreted in a timepiece.

AZZARO | Paper DollThe latest Azzaro ladies’ timepiece is a perfect reincarnation of the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. Gentle curves sublimate its characteristic slightly wild and mischievous side. The Art Deco influence is expressed on the delicately guilloché dial as well as the almost undulating round Arabic numerals. The generosity and the Haute Couture spirit of Azzarro encap-sulated within just 34 millimetres – a size that breaks free of any conventional standards and in doing so also reflects the mood of the 1920s.

Movement Quartz, Ronda 762. Functions Hours and minutes. Case 316L stainless steel, 34 mm. Sapphire crystal. Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft). Dial Silver-toned, sunburst guilloché. Applied hour-markers and Arabic nume-rals. Bracelet Stainless steel with folding clasp.

AZZARO | MatinéeAt once classic and contemporary, understated and refined, the latest watch creation from Azzaro combines the codes of Parisian elegance with Swiss horological craftsmanship. The simplicity of this three-hand watch guarantees perfect reada-bility undisturbed by any additional displays. The applied hour-markers and Roman numerals reflect the nobility of steel and its polished texture. A glowing tribute to haute couture, the timepiece offers a perfect blend of the inherently seductive charm of Loris Azzaro, who believes that aesthetic boldness should be matched by technical precision.

Movement Quartz. Functions Hours, minutes and se-conds. Case Polished stainless steel, 34 mm. Crown set with a cabochon-cut moonstone. Sapphire crystal. Water-resistant to 30 m (3 ATM/100 ft).

COVER | Co165 AUREUS ChronographClassic but no less contemporary, Cover’s Co165 AUREUS Chronograph is all about contrast. Its pared-back design makes a strong masculine statement but isn’t afraid to choose a profiled white dial embellished with “Clous de Paris” guillo-ché. Tone-on-tone counters are the backdrop for the chro-nograph’s three red hands in their more or less frenetic race against time, from 1/10th of a second to 30 minutes. The tachymeter scale on the inner bezel ring will also keep energy levels high! Proposed in black, white, or in steel for a sports attitude.

Movement Quartz, Ronda 5040.D. Functions Hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph and tachymeter. Case Stainless steel, 44 mm. Tachymeter scale on the inner bezel ring. Scratchproof sapphire crystal. Water-resistant to 100 m (10 bar/10 ATM).

Luminescent hour-markers and central hands. Date window at 4 o’clock. Strap/Bracelet Brown or black leather. Stainless steel with safety folding clasp.

CHARRIOL | AELTrue to the Celtic spirit that inhabits the brand, Charriol pre-sents AEL – angel in Celtic. A jewel of a watch that young women will adore. Proposed in black or white, this seemingly minimalist duo has more than one surprise in store… The bezel and case are in ceramic, accentuated by the stainless steel cable that circles this 34 millimetre diameter. A visual hallmark of the brand, cables also embellish the rubber strap.

Movement Quartz, ETA. Functions Hours, minutes, se-conds and date. Case White ceramic, 34 mm. Circled by a stainless steel cable. White ceramic attachments. Dial White mother-of-pearl.

MUZO | Muzo 13.98-Carat EmeraldThe Muzo emerald mine in Colombia is legendary, as was Golconda for diamonds and Mogok for rubies. It is nonetheless the only one still being worked to date after five centuries of continuous operation. Since November 2009, Muzo International, a branch of the Texma Group, has owned exclusive rights to operate the mine. The group has instated a “mine to market” process that is unique in the world and based on three pillars. Firstly, a quality control guaranteeing the exclusive use of cedarwood oil to enhance the stones, and only where necessary. Secondly, the certificate of origin, issued by prestigious Swiss laboratories. And thirdly, traceability, with numbering of each gem enabling them to be tracked from extraction through to sale. On February 12th 2012, Muzo extracted a 51.95-carat rough eme-

rald that was then cut in its Bogota workshops to produce a 13.98-carat emerald.

TF EST. 1968 | Tourbillon cufflinks The global brand’s hugely popular Tourbillon cufflinks have won fans beyond the circle of watch aficionados. In what pro-mises to be a host of new products for 2013, they open up to new colour schemes, with chocolate brown, Swiss red, silver tones and amethyst. Imprisoned inside a steel cage against an array of carbon details, an actual tourbillon mechanism springs into action with every movement of the wearer’s wrist. A voyeuristic display revealed through the transparent front. The absence of a conventional stem accentuates the cufflink’s functional aspect by preventing it from twisting. A precision spring clasp system holds it neatly in place, anchoring it to the cuff. Accessories that denote a different attitude towards luxury, these Tourbillon cufflinks make a creative statement backed by quality Swiss craftsmanship.
