PIERRE DEROCHE - GrandCliff TNT Penta
Both technical and entertaining, the GrandCliff TNT Penta
chronograph reveals a composition of five resolutely high-tech disks.
The two date discs come together at 12 o’clock, while the three others,
made of eloxided aluminium, indicate the 60 minutes and 12 hours of the
flyback chronograph, as well as the permanent seconds. Limited edition
of 201 pieces.

MAITRES DU TEMPS - Chapter One
Featuring an original combination of complications, the first
timepiece from Maîtres du Temps is the work of Christophe Claret and
Peter Speake-Marin. This model boasts a tourbillon, a mono-pushpiece
chronograph, a retrograde date, a retrograde second time zone and two
distinctive rollers, one at 6 o’clock and the other at 12, indicating
respectively the days of the week and the phases of the moon.

ALFEX - Black Light
Winner of the prestigious Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Award
2009, the Black Light attracts immediate attention. The world’s first
three-dimensional wristwatch, it is very easy to read in the dark
thanks to its Superluminova-coated sapphire crystal hourmarkers, with
the hands turning underneath. Thanks to the skilful use of the
day/night contrasts, its black dial reflects intense luminosity. By
exceeding the parameters laid down by design and opening up new
dimensions, Alfex confirms that it has always been – and always will be
– a “design addict”.

CONCORD - C1 Code
Logical, methodical and highly efficient, the new C1 Code
chronograph is making a statement. The algebraic formula above the dial
expresses the structural complexity of the case and partially covers
the impressive sapphire crystal. The equations are fitted around the
various counters, an unequivocal assertion that Concord watches are
supreme pieces of engineering.
|
MAITRES DU TEMPS - Chapter Two
The fruit of collaboration between renowned master watchmakers
like Daniel Roth and Peter Speake-Marin, Chapter Two is the world’s
most legible instantaneous triple date timepiece. It features a large
date along with the day of the week and the month presented in letters
on their respective rollers at 6 and 12 o’clock.

ETERNA - Madison Eight Days with Eterna Spherodrive
Eterna has decided to reaffirm its long-standing tradition of
technical originality at Baselworld this year with the Madison
Eight-Days. Housing the hand-wound Eterna 3510 movement fitted with the
new Eterna Spherodrive device – a new kind of barrel rotating on
ball-bearings –, this masculine watch illustrates the exceptional
qualities of its manufactory-made movement: for example, the eight-day
power reserve.
|
PIERRE DEROCHE - GrandCliff Milady
A combination of horlogerie and haute couture, the GrandCliff
Milady will captivate women who are not content with wearing a simple
fashion accessory on their wrist. For mechanical excellence there is an
exclusive Dubois Dépraz movement, and for style, a diamond and sapphire
composition in white and blue. An unusual laced strap gives it an
undeniable touch of sensuality.

ORIS - Oscar Peterson Limited Edition
In a tribute to one of the greatest jazz legends, the Oscar
Peterson watch is limited to 1,925 pieces, the same number as the year
the musician was born. Piano keys – the piano was his favourite
instrument – are reproduced on a black grooved dial reminiscent of a
vinyl record. Engraved on the numbered back is the lion that the
virtuoso used as a symbol, a virtuoso who also loved watches,
particularly those with Roman numerals. The ultimate allusion, Oris has
plated the VIII on the dial with pink gold, a reference to the eight
Grammy Awards the musician collected during his career. The watch is
delivered in a varnished wooden box along with a certificate and DVD.

GUCCI - Classic Watch
The most impressive model in the Gucci Classic collection, this
chronograph embodies the quintessential Gucci style, inspired by a
passion for sailing and nautical sports. Very sophisticated in its
steel case and bracelet version, it becomes powerful and distinguished
when presented in black PVD and a black or green rubber strap. No
matter which of the two versions one chooses, one certainty remains:
that of wearing a timepiece that is faithful to the brand’s codes, with
the emblematic G in shiny filigree on the dial and the iconic
green-red-green band. An inimitable signature, which makes each one of
Gucci’s creations instantly recognisable.

LUMINOX - Deep Dive
Luminox’s Deep Dive has been used for 20 years by the Navy Seal,
America’s coast-guards, and by the legendary diver Stan Waterman. The
brand’s new version is even more impressive, with water-resistance to
50 bar (500 m/1500 ft). Certified for professional use, it meets the
stringent ISO 6425 norms for diving watches. A patent-pending blocking
system for the bezel and crown protector, an automatic helium valve,
and a case with special water-resistant gaskets are just some of its
many characteristics. And if those weren’t enough, there is its unique
Luminox Light Technology (LLT) system providing continuous illumination
for 25 years thanks to the micro gas tubes that emit a blue glow, the
last colour that the human eye is capable of distinguishing at great
depths.
|
CATENA - Horseshoe Chronograph
Surprising and unique, the emblematic horseshoe by Catena is
enhanced with black PVD and pink gold finishing, creating some very
elegant contrasts between the case and dial. The chronograph, measuring
time to 1/10 of a second, will satisfy the highest expectations of the
man in search of contemporary elegance.
|
DOXA - Grafic Open Heart
The ambassadress of contemporary design since 1957, the Grafic
from Doxa and its lines of absolute purity accompanied the “modern
movement” that shaped the aesthetics of the 20th century. The round
aperture at 12 o’clock shows that Doxa will always keep abreast of
history.

SWISS MILITARY-HANOWA - Navalus Classic
Since its foundation in 1963, Hanowa has excelled in the
development of sporty, trendy watches. The phenomenal success of the
Navalus sport collection inspired the brand’s designers to create a
more classic version of this little marvel of precision. With its
generous-sized steel or black PVD 44mm case, black or white dial with a
very original double post-meridian hour display at its centre,
luminescent hourmarkers and large numerals for optimal legibility, as
well as a rich choice of ladies’ versions, it will meet every possible
kind of taste.
|
DOXA - SUB 800 Ti Professional
Using a unique technology for the hourmarkers and hands, the SUB
800Ti guarantees extraordinary luminosity in conditions of the poorest
visibility. Constructed in titanium, it is both highly resistant and
light and meets the most exacting demands of deep-sea diving.
|
CATENA - Couture
With its clever combination of a horseshoe – the brand’s emblem –
and the Catena logo, the Couture will be a sure hit with fashionistas
looking for originality. Inimitable styling, iridescent
mother-of-pearl, a pink gold PVD case under a river of diamonds and a
super trendy bracelet are the special features of just one of the many
versions of this timepiece designed to please all tastes.
