Cartier Captive WatchThe New Cartier Captivewatch model was presented during the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) 2010.

The model is stunning with the 35 mm to 55 mm (depending on the model size) 18-k white gold dial, covered with rhodium. The smaller version is made with just one blued steel hand (for the hours – you can tell the time within 10 minute precision), while the larger version has two hands.

And as usual, the dial has no lack of diamonds. They are on the Cartier Captive watch bezel and on the dial’s perimeter as well. Moreover, the “numbers” on the dial are made of 3 karat diamonds.

Case aperture serves as a bracelet’s bracing. This affect brings some pocket watch notes to the Cartier Captive design. The light-grey canvas material bracelet is elegant enough the wear it with the 18-k white gold snap.

Sapphire glass will prevent Cartier Captive from mechanic damage. And 30 meter water resistance is a good reason for a pleasant sail sing. Inside the watch you’ll find the quartz movement.

The New Cartier model is expensive enough.. But despite of this I consider Cartier Captive the best way not only for “captivating her,” but also for “keeping her captive.”

Panerai Radiomir PAM 00210

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.

On 12 January 2010, a major earthquake struck southern Haiti, knocking down buildings and power lines and inflicting what its ambassador to the United States called a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation.Juicy Couture Handbags The magnitude 7.0 quake is the most powerful to Haiti in a century. This earthquake caused major damage to Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and other settlements in the region. Haiti is in agony; the earthquake has destroyed its buildings, homes, lives.

Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel. All kinds of donations are arriving in Haiti. No matter the government or individual in the world want to help Haitian people by all means. Some world-famous brands also take measures to help Haitian government and people.

January 28, 2010, Hollywood star, the spokesperson of Mango, Scarlett Johansson specially designed a new handbag cooperating with Mango to help the earthquake victims in Haiti to raise funds. This bag was printed the old map of Haiti, which stands for, I think, the firm belief. Haiti is a poor, tragically deforested nation, but it is rich in history, human potential, and human spirit. We still believe that Haiti can move beyond its troubled history and this lethal earthquake to emerge a stronger, more secure nation. This bag still attaches the characters “Support the people of Haiti,” as well as Scarlett Johansson’s personal signature. It is learned that Haiti handbags will be exclusively on sale worldwide in 1390 Mango stores. The canvas tote will retail for $29.90 and proceeds will go to charity organization OXFAM in their relief efforts in Haiti.  The bag features a vintage cartography of the island – one of our favorite motifs both aesthetically and thematically, symbolizing the perseverence of a nation through time.

Scarlett Johansson said: “I am very glad to cooperate with Mango. Promoting conscious consumer behavior and raising funds for Haiti, I am thrilled. Buy this handbag, you can provide great assistance, such as clean water. ”

Yes, we all have a stake in Haiti’s future. In our interdependent world, we are all connected and the fate of our neighbors is intrinsically linked with our own. A stronger, more secure Haiti means a stronger, more secure region. The Haitian people deserve the chance to build a nation that reflects their hard work, their ability, and their desires. There is a Haitian proverb, ÒMen anpil chay pa lou,Ó which translates as “Many hands lighten the load.” Working together, we can lighten the load that the Haitian people have carried on their own for far too long, and finally give them a real chance for a better tomorrow.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication Watch

SIHH 2010: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication Watch
Swiss manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre continues its string of exceptional accomplishments in the high complication category with a brilliant new Master Control watch bearing the prestigious Grande Tradition banner. This white gold timepiece presents not only a tourbillon and minute repeater–a watchmaking feat in itself–but also brings into play an ingenious rotating star chart with zodiacal functions and indications for sidereal as well as solar time. As an added attraction, the display for sidereal time–a 23 hour, 56-minute, and 4.091 seconds “day” measured by Earth’s rotation relative to the fixed stars–is actually accomplished by the tourbillon cage itself, which slowly orbits the dial in synchrony with this specialized astronomic period.

A close examination of the compelling galactic dial of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication watch reveals a wealth of fascinating astronomic information. The stars as seen from the northern hemisphere and the varied constellations blanket the mystical blue dial surface, which is actually a lacquered disc positioned above a lower disc bearing the little rotating sun which indicates solar (24-hour) time. Directly atop the lacquered sky is the slowly orbiting flying tourbillon with its pulsating balance wheel and continually revolving ultra-light titanium cage. The dial rehaut displays the zodiacal signs and the months, enabling the wearer to follow the apparent motions of the constellations through the year.

Impressive as all of this is, the 527-parts which comprise the Jaeger-LeCoultre 945 Caliber movement have yet other surprises in store. The minute repeater mechanism that chimes out the hours, quarter hours, and individual minutes upon request whenever the case slide is activated, utilizes two exclusive innovations which Jaeger-LeCoultre claims offers a real boost to acoustic performance. The first of these is a proprietary “trebuchet hammer” that significantly improves the velocity and force of the striking hammers compared to those in traditional repeaters. The second is a square-profile cathedral gong manufactured from a single piece; the gongs are attached to a thin layer of metal which contacts the sapphire crystal. This construction provides excellent amplification of the already robust chime, all while enabling the house to produce a watch case insulated enough to be water resistant to 50 meters.

The tourbillon escapement of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication watch is also most innovative. Rapidly beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the watch’s balance wheel bears a hairspring featuring a Breguet terminal curve. Notably, the components of the escapement are produced from silicon, a material requiring no lubrication in the manner of traditional metal components. The use of such advanced escapement materials in no way diminishes Jaeger-LeCoultre’s adherence to traditional methods where movement finishing is concerned; a sapphire crystal exhibition window shows off nickel-silver bridges displaying a rich variety of decorative patterns, steel parts with anglage, and screws with a brilliant rhodium plating. As with other exceptionally complex Jaeger-LeCoultre movements, each JLC 945 Caliber is the responsibility of a single watchmaker to assemble and fine tune to perfection.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is to produce just 75 examples of the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication watch, each in a 44mm case of 18-karat white gold, with an elegant strap in alligator leather. Like all references in the brand’s Master Control collection, the Grande Complication will undergo the famous 1000 hour in-house test; these comprehensive, grueling trials verify the precision, water resistance, and other performance aspects of the timepiece in a fully-assembled state. Official pricing information has not yet been announced, but a number in the high six figures would be reasonable to expect.

Montblanc Reveals Extraordinary Timewriter 1 Metamorphosis Watch at SIHH 2010

Tags: , , , , ,

At SIHH 2010, Montblanc proudly unveiled the first groundbreaking creation of the Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie – TimeWriter 1: Metamorphosis.

The Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie, founded by the brand in 2008, has a noble mission of supporting, both materially and intellectually, young talents giving birth to new ideas to highlight the art of watchmaking. Therefore, Montblanc introduced the “TimeWriter” concept, under which the brand intends to present a project every two years developed by independent creators who introduce great ideas and want to become independent watchmakers.

Two young watch specialists Johnny Girardin and Franck Orny wanted to create a wristwatch with two faces, based on the principles of traditional watchmaking, yet representing an entirely new and unprecedented concept.

The new extraordinary project of the TimeWriter series is actually based on the Montblanc`s own hand-crafted chronographe calibre MBM 16.29. The way the Montblanc Metamorphosis transforms itself is truly unprecedented. Via moving a slide down or up, the Montblanc watch transforms from a wristwatch displaying hours, minutes, and seconds into a chronograph and vice versa. This metamorphosis is performed in a completely mechanical manner inspired by methods applied in automatons construction, a traditional trade long practiced in the Swiss Jura region.

Before the eye-paralyzing transformation takes place, the watch with a large teardrop-like case demonstrates a dial with an unusual display of the civil time . In the upper part of the dial, you will see the regulator-style sub-dial featuring a lonely hour-hand and completed with Roman numerals.

At the same time, a retrograde minute-hand sweeps its arc between 8 and 4 o’clock from the center of the dial. A large seconds-hand, also in the center, makes one full circle every minute. At 6 o`clock, you will notice a hand-type date display. The hands together indicate the civil time and the date.

The metamorphosis starts as soon as the watch owner pulls the slide on the left-hand flank of the watch’s case downward from the “10” to the “8.” Within about fifteen seconds, the watch transforms into a chronograph. Four wings in the lower part of the dial open, slide under one another, and hide to the left and right beneath the middle bar of the dial. A similar sequence happens with two wings on the regulator’s hour dial in the upper part of the dial.

As soon as all the wings have opened, a sub-dial rises reminding the floor of an elevator at 6 o`clock and an opening in this rising disk “swallows” the date-hand. The just risen rotating disc represents the minute counter for the chronograph function.

After the breathtaking transformation takes place, the dial of the watch is fully devoted to the chronograph function. Now, the dial is completed with Arabic numerals and is highlighted with red accents. The hours are displayed on a sub-dial at 12 o`clock such as before and the retrograde minutes are also displayed from the centre.

The continuous seconds hand has transformed into the central chronograph hand. As for the risen turning disc at 6 o’clock, it stands out due to an elapsed-minutes scale calibrated from 01 to 31. A motionless index on the central bar of the dial shows which minute is at the moment being tallied.

The scale is calibrated for 31 minutes as its designers wanted to emphasize the fact that a date scale could take this position too. The watch owner is sure to highly appreciate such peculiarities, especially when seeing that each of the two displays performs with absolute mechanical independence of the other. The elapsed-minutes disk turns continuously, and the date-hand movement is “semi-instantaneous.”

The creators of the Metamorphosis watch used the luxurious column-wheel Montblanc/Minerva 16.29 caliber, composed of 252 individual parts, having created a unique additional mechanical structure built from 315 components. The result is the remarkable sum of 567 individual parts. No doubt, the Montblanc Metamorphos highlights the list of the most complicated up-to-date wristwatches.

The teardrop-shaped case of the Montblanc watch, 47mm in diameter, is sculptured from 18K white gold. The case incorporates double sapphire crystals. The timepiece is 50-meter water-resistant. The dial is performed in titanium, steel and sapphire.

As found out, the Montblanc Timewriter 1 Metamorphosis watch is expected to be limited to just 28 pieces and offered at the price of 195,000 Euros.

Pierre Kunz Original Insanity Watch

Tags: , , , , ,

In 2007, at the WPHH, the renowned watchmaker Pierre Kunz officially unveiled its remarkable retrograde mechanical watch, named Infinity Looping. This timekeeper owes its name to the movements performed by a single hand in order to indicate the hours and minutes. It is attainable due to a cycloid hour hand, which travels along a scale that will make you think of a child’s Spirograph.

Although this watch is a bit difficult to read at the beginning, it is surely a true feast for the eyes.

No matter how appealing the Infinity Looping watch is, its name is misleading the English speaking audience. The point is that the Americans, for example, may perceive “looping” as “loopy”, which will definitely prevent watch enthusiasts from taking this timepiece seriously: these words seem to be similar, yet have different meanings. In Europe, however, this term stands for a part of a roller coaster that takes the riders upside down.

Therefore, Pierre Kunz’s U.S. sales manager Edward Suhyda found a creative solution to avoid misunderstanding mentioned and to attract the best possible attention of American watch lovers. Since Mr. Suhyda regarded this incredible timepiece as “insane”, he decided to bestow it with the name of “Insanity”. Thus, the U.S. market received an exceptional watch with the name, specially invented with this area in mind.

The Pierre Kunz Insanity watch is offered in a special box, also created by Suhyda. It is proposed with a straight jacket. Once the owner opens it, he will discover the infinitely looping watch, placed within a padded cell.

Offered in any number of color combinations, the Pierre Kunz watch employs a 44 mm stainless steel or blackened steel case.

At SIHH 2010, JeanRichard has unveiled its novel model – the Chronoscope MV Agusta Brutale America watch. The timepiece will be available in a limited number of 290 pieces.

The JeanRichard watch has been inspired by the brand’s partnership with the MV Agusta motorbike team taking up the challenge of breaking Bonneville Salt Flats speed trial record.

The partnership between the watchmaker and the famous motorbike manufacturer MV Agusta was born in 2007. Now, JeanRichard is proud to present its new powerful timepiece inspired by the signature features of the Brutale motorbike.

The Chronoscope MV Agusta Brutale America watch reflects the most complicated production processes, along with thorough attention to detail.

The stainless steel case of the new JeanRichard watch, 43 mm in diameter, is covered completely in vulcanized rubber, while the bezel, pushers and case-back are crafted in black PVD-coated titanium and the crown is crafted in titanium. The design of the pushers makes them fit the case shape, so that the timepiece provides extreme comfort of wearing.

The tinted sapphire case-back is secured with 4 screws. The timepiece is 100-meter water-resistant.

The opaline powdered effect stamped dial is clearly inspired by the design of a motorcycle wheel rim. The dial reflects the visual idea of depth with its raised elements, also suggested by the sporty look of the bike’s dashboard. The black hands are coated with luminescent material. The dial is shielded by a convex, anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

The small seconds are featured by a rotating disc with Arabic numerals. The tachymeter for measuring speed further enhances the bold design of the watch.

The JeanRichard Chronoscope MV Agusta Brutale America watch accommodates the brand’s in-house manufactured self-winding mechanical movement – JR1000. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement offers a 48-hour power reserve. The movement is visible through the tinted sapphire case-back showing the MV Agusta logo.

The new JeanRichard watch,  is secured to the wrist on a calfskin strap, featuring white stitching and equipped with a black PVD-coated satin-finished steel folding buckle.
