CHOPARD - L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon
In a deliberate departure from the traditional principles of
horological design, the L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon houses an
exceptional movement designed and made from A to Z at the Chopard
Manufacture, machined like an engine block and mounted on silent
blocks. To celebrate the brand’s 150th anniversary, this mechanical
titanium thoroughbred has been produced in a limited series of 150.

HALDIMANN HOROLOGY - H8 Sculptura
Taking the spirit of manufacture to its limits, Beat Haldimann
designs and manufactures his exceptional horological sculptures using
only authentic traditional tools, a far cry from today’s electronic
gadgetry. And the H8 Sculptura central tourbillon is no exception.
Employing time-honoured methods, he has banished all indications of
time from the dial to focus attention on the transience of time. Winner
of the prestigious Gaia Prize in 2009, Beat Haldimann reveals here the
genius of a young creator who will continue to impact on the watch
scene.

HAUTLENCE - HL08
Presented for the first time at Baselworld, the HL08 opens the
door to new ways of reading the time. A little horological masterpiece,
it is designed around an extremely complex manufactory-made movement.
For example, along with the retrograde minute display was the added
challenge of creating a jumping disc with a window indicating the
jumping hours, a challenge in terms of energy and inertia that
Hautlence achieved in a very original manner: the jumping hours on the
disc and the retrograde minute display are both driven by the minute
cannon-pinion. This novel solution is protected by a patent. Limited
edition of 88.

ARMAND NICOLET - J09
The J09 is the latest model from Armand Nicolet. Combining Swiss
horological excellence with inspired styling, it comes with a rare
quality-price ratio. With its innovative and extremely understated
design, this model goes far beyond simple fashion trends. Its wide
range of colours and materials will please all tastes.

DAMIANI - Belle Epoque Masterpiece 1
This iconic timepiece by Damiani was inspired by the Belle Epoque,
a period characterised by a new art of living in which every moment was
fully savoured. With a dial paved with 90 invisible-set baguette
diamonds echoed by rubies and diamonds on the rotating bezel, this
blend of high jewellery and haute couture is a work of pure virtuosity.
|
CHOPARD - Happy Sport Chrono
Both functional and feminine, the new Happy Sport Chrono
oscillates between sport and glamour. The forty diamonds set on the
white gold bezel create a scintillating playground for the five other
diamonds that whirl freely round the dial against the delicate
mother-of-pearl backdrop. It is dolce vita time at Chopard.
|
L'EPEE - Le Duel
Two crossed swords, the signature and emblem of the brand,
indicate that the power reserve is at maximum. As the power reserve
diminishes, the angle between the swords slowly increases until, after
40 days, when the clock needs rewinding, the logo is reversed! Far from
resting on its laurels, the brand has introduced a further
complication: two other, retrograde swords follow the rhythm of this
amazing duel for 20 seconds before returning instantly to their “on
guard” position. Limited series of 50.

WALTHAM - Crescent
Waltham was a recognised pioneer in precision chronometry
instruments from the early days of the railway and supplied most
railway companies in North America and India. Its “Crescent St” model
marked a milestone in the 1900’s, and is still popular today.
Characterised by a substantial power reserve and unfailing reliability,
this legendary timepiece has returned to centre stage in a highly
contemporary version. COSC-certified, this high precision instrument
features its very trendy power reserve at 6 o’clock and is crowned with
a large date at midday.

BULOVA ACCUTRON - Kirkwood
Thanks to the skeleton dial and sapphire back that grace the
Accutron Kirkwood from Bulova, we can see right into the heart of the
hand-wound movement. Crowning this sumptuous piece of mechanical
architecture on the dial side, three Roman numerals echo very
contemporary hourmarkers. This is guaranteed to delight those who love
sophisticated design combined with perfect technical mastery.
|
DAMIANI - Belle Epoque
A tribute to the Belle Epoque, those early years of the 20th
century when change, joie de vivre and exclusiveness were the
leitmotifs of a new generation. Damiani has brought this period back to
life with a collection of jewellery timepieces: an interpretation
inspired by haute couture and the cinema, both of which rose to
prominence during this eminently glorious era.
|
L'EPEE - L'Audacieuse
Dedicated to enthusiasts of fine mechanics, this clock displays a
remarkable five-barrel movement, with a 40-day power reserve, presented
in the form of an open disc and vertical escapement. The two openings
on the back act like a light shaft, revealing the splendour of the
mechanism, a blend of design and horological excellence. Limited series
of 50.
|
GUEPARD - Retroswiss
Three retrograde counters inspired by motor racing, a powerful
case and contemporary materials: with this kind of high-tech appeal,
this model will propel those living in the fast lane into a new
dimension.
|
GUEPARD - Tersa
A blend of watchmaking and jewellery, this exceptionally
fascinating see-through timepiece features 12 diamond-set majestic
Arabic numerals and a diamond-set case. There is a choice of finishing,
but only one certitude: diamonds are forever.
