Seiko is aiming to more than double its number of outlets in India.

Japanese luxury watch brand Seiko is aiming to more than double its amount of retail outlets in India to 250 within two years.

Seiko currently has 123 high-class shops and boutiques in India – which is a “booming” market, according to the Hindu Business Line.

Several designer watch manufacturers have highlighted Asia – and in particular India and China – as the industry’s growth hotspot over the next decade.

Tetsuji Ishimaru, Seiko’s managing director, illustrated the importance of the Indian market by telling the newspaper: “Globally, our sales were affected by about 20 to 30 per cent during the recession but sales in India were picking up during that period.”

Seiko is targeting up to 30 per cent growth in India as it expands its range of stores.

In December, the Japanese firm praised its Premier Collection, saying it was “an inspiration” which took watch refinement to the next level.ADNFCR-2664-ID-19602004-ADNFCR

Pre-Baselworld 2010 Ulysse Nardin El Toro GMT Perpetual Watch In the years following its 1983 resurrection, Swiss watchmaking house Ulysse Nardin has been responsible for many fascinating horological innovations. One of its most respected is a family of a perpetual calendar watches whose wheel-based mechanisms allow simple forward or backwards adjustments of the complex calendar functions through the crown–a user-friendly contrast from traditional perpetual calendars which depend upon a system of assigned corrector buttons, and may only be adjusted in the forwards manner. Clearly, this intelligent system also permits these Ulysse Nardin timepieces a degree of safety for setting errors not possible with conventional perpetual calendar designs. In 2010, the historic brand from Le Locle, Switzerland continues its record of accomplishment in this area with the El Toro–a strikingly modern variation of the acclaimed GMT± Perpetual. Presented in 18-karat red gold or platinum, the Ulysse Nardin El Toro watch stands out through the selective use of ceramic components. This high-tech, nearly scratchproof zirconium oxide material is used to craft both the 24-hour bezel and the twin case pushers dedicated to setting the independent 12-hour hand. The precise, elegant craftsmanship of the 43mm case and the immaculate gloss of the ceramic bezel compliment a dial which is among the most intricate and beautiful in the luxury watch industry. A Cotes de Geneve patterned background serves up a feast of detail centered around a T-shaped structure and adjacent large date indicator, both of which are secured down with blued screws. The former is cleverly situated in such a way as to reveal the discs for the year, and the disc for months. Legibility of these logically arranged displays is further enhanced by large skeletonized hour and minute hands, which despite the minimalistic construction, impress with bold size and exceptionally brilliant luminous tips. As with other Ulysse Nardin GMT± Perpetual watches, the El Toro displays a distinct arrow-tipped central hand that coordinates with the bezel markings to present a second time zone in a 24-hour format. A large sapphire crystal exhibition window centers the caseback with its six securing screws and inscriptions of brand, limited edition series, and the 100-meter water resistance rating. This portal reveals the remarkable UN-32 caliber whose visual charms include bridges with blued screws and circular Cotes de Geneve decoration, as well as a truly impressive central rotor fashioned from matte-finished 18K white gold with the Ulysse Nardin anchor symbol in black enamel. Each of these exclusive self-winding movements is sent to an independent office of the Swiss Official Chronometer Control (COSC), where 15 days of tests in various positions and temperatures verify precision performance set forth under exacting parameters. With mainspring fully charged, the UN-32 delivers a power reserve of 45 hours. Ulysse Nardin will produce 500 individually numbered examples of the El Toro GMT± Perpetual watch. Each Ulysse Nardin El Toro is completed by a gracefully designed rubber strap with two vertically pronounced motifs, and the Ulysse Nardin brand symbol; naturally, the strap can be trimmed to obtain an exact fit to the wearer’s wrist. Closure is provided by an elegant push-button folding clasp manufactured from a combination of ceramic and metal.

Rolex has become to be synonymous to elegance and exquisite design, being labeled as a luxury brand of watches with an impressive tradition in the world of watch manufacturing. Established 105 years ago, Rolex still maintains high its standards of watch manufacturing, the timepieces created being regarded as statements of technical performance and sophisticated design. Owning a Rolex gives you confidence and definitely assures your social status in whatever gathering you may find yourself in, as this is not just a watch making brand, but a chapter in the history and long lasting tradition of watch manufacturing.

Rolex has introduced years ago a successful collection bearing the name of Rolex Datejust, and ever since 1945, the start model of that collection was redesigned and reequipped into becoming what we refer to today as the new Rolex Datejust Royal Black Watch. This new version embraces a refined look, given the fact that it uses diamond adornments to recreate a brilliant and classy appearance.

        The new Rolex Datejust Royal Black Watch features a 36 mm in diameter case made of 18 k white gold. The size of the case was chosen to fit a feminine design, especially made for those sophisticated women that like wearing on their wrists combinations between watches and elegant accessories of jewelry. As for a woman fashion and trends are everything, it was normal that Rolex would approach an extremely modern design, recurring to diamond or black sapphires. The design was thought as to cover various tastes, and so there are two versions of the new Rolex Datejust Royal Black Watch: one featuring 60 diamonds on the bezel contrasting a black and diamonds paved dial, while the other featuring 60 black sapphires on its bezel. These two versions are available on a black rubber leather strap and gluchant strap, adorned with precious stones.

        Even though the designers from Rolex have aimed at recreating the fanciest design possible, one of the strong points of this nicely looking Rolex Datejust Royal Black Watch is represented by its technical performance. The mechanism equipping this watch was C.O.S.C certified and goes by the name of Rolex 3135 Calibre, being a self-winding movement able to offer 50 hours of power reserve, along with 100 meters water resistance. Apart from the traditional functions of hour, minute and second, this watch also provides a date window located at 3 o’clock. Although no technical aspects were neglected in the manufacturing of this watch, I’m sure that many women would find its 100 meters water resistance function almost irrelevant, as no lady would put this exquisite timepiece in the water.

        Regardless your chosen version, either the one featuring diamonds or the one with black sapphires, I can assure you that Rolex Datejust Royal Black Watch doesn’t come cheap at all.

Officine Panerai excels at creating impressive wrist watches that have no fear of time passing by because of their timeless designs. The famous model Radomir is definitely a landmark piece of the Officine Panerai brand, the model being introduced for the first time in 1938. The model was designed back then to face extreme conditions related to both diving and night visibility, and its design was extremely masculine, with a case measuring 47 mm in diameter. Over the years, this model has been refined into what we refer today as the new Radomir PAM 00210 Watch, a watch with considerable reduced size and more progressive technical performance.

        The case of the new Radomir Watch measures 45 mm in diameter and approaches the same classic look, with its roundly-shaped figure and the simple design features of its dial. The case is crafted from polished steel or 18 karats pink gold, each version matching its bezel, made as well from the same materials, either brushed stainless steel or pink gold. The crown is located traditionally on the lateral side of the case at three o’clock, the designers choosing to maintain the original design of the Panerai watch, without equipping it with the patented protecting system for the crown.

        The model Radomir Pam 00210 has a very discreet dial, the only functions it displays are the minute and hour functions. The detailing from the watch is luminescent coated to provide the best legibility at night, or in dark spaces when diving.

        The true star-element at the new Radomir PAM 00210 is its technical movement, which although it provides only the traditional functions of hours and minutes, it is highly accurate and very reliable in terms of its resistance. The Panerai OP x Calibre equipping this timepiece guarantees a power reserve of 56 hours, along with 100 meters water resistance. The case is constructed as to offer the best protection of the movement and so the designers have chosen to use a shock absorption system for this watch, and have also chosen the thickest sapphire crystal to cover both the dial and the case back, 1.9 mm thick.

        This Radomir PAM 00210 Watch by Officine Panerai is included in the ”Historic” Collection and celebrates the watches manufactures in 1997, under the name of Radomir, a Collection measuring only 60 timepieces.

        The strap of the new Officine Panerai Radomir PAM Watch is made of leather and is equipped with a folding clasp made of either steel or 18 carats pink gold. Each version matches perfectly the materials of the case, so the design is quite harmonious.

        Officine Panerai has designed collections and collections of watches, but the Radomir Collection still has its well-deserved place both in the heart of the brand and in the hearts of Officine Panerai’s customers worldwide.
