Roger Dubuis is no ordinary watch brand; it’s a brand that knows how to celebrate the finest things in life. This philosophy has proven to be quite successful considering the fact that a brand with such short tradition in watch manufacturing has come to be regarded today as one of the top brands in this industry, with impressive timepieces out to celebrate quality, innovation and technical performance.

        It’s not unusual for brands to choose their creative themes when designing a timepiece or even a watch collection, and over the years watches have been inspired by diving, car racing, polo, aviation and so on. This time, Roger Debuis has chosen to celebrate love, with its new timepiece called Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch, a watch especially designed for Valentine’s Day. To mark this passionate day of the year, Roger Dubuis has chosen as main color, red, the color of love and lovers.

        The case of the new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch is rectangular and made of pure white gold. This watch was especially designed for women and so the design concept is one extremely elegant, feminine and sophisticated. With its diamond-adorned bezel, the new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch surely enters the category of luxury watches, being considered the perfect timekeeping instrument disguised in the most appealing wrist accessory. This beautiful watch definitely rises to the occasion and can be the perfect gift for that one special someone in your life.

        The diamonds adornments are used for the bezel of the watch, for the lugs connecting the case with the strap, and also for the dial. The new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch features a dial adorned with a Love specification, made out of diamonds and red rubies. The dial features two black hands indicating the hour and minutes and also the logo of the Roger Dubuis brand under the 12 o’clock position. The dial has approached a mother-of-pearl color and it matches perfectly the red strap equipping the new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch.

        Like most of the watches introduced by Roger Dubuis as luxury watches, this one too has a very reliable self-winding movement, that can offer a generous power reserve of 48 hours, and a 50 meters water resistance. The water resistance function is rather irrelevant given the exquisiteness of the materials of this watch, as I think no woman would try diving while wearing such extravagant timepiece on her wrist.

        The new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch is available on a red leather strap, sewn with red thread. The strap makes a beautiful match with the red heart adorned on the dial, while the white mother-of-pearl dial matches the brilliance of the diamonds.

        Indeed a celebration of love and beauty, the new Roger Dubuis Too Much Diamond Watch doesn’t come cheap, its price being estimated to almost $38,000, being amongst the most expensive watches of this decade.

In 1927, the American aviator Charles Lindbergh earned international fame, having performed a non-stop solo flight across the North Atlantic in his Spirit of St. Louis. In 1933, accompanied by his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, he undertook a trip of 47,000 km around the North Atlantic.

A powerful aircraft, endowed with a 710 hp engine and a variable propeller, took the young couple to New Foundland, Greenland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, the Azores, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde before returning to the USA via the Gambia, Brazil and Cuba. The purpose of this expedition was to discover future air routes across the far north.

In the course of his long expedition Charles relied on a customized wrist chronograph from Longines. This  Longines watch served to measure time to the fifth of a second. The chronograph mechanism offered a function of tachymeter, capable of measuring speeds up to 500 kph.

Now, the brand is pleased to bring out a re-edition of this remarkable watch, dubbed Longines Lindbergh’s Atlantic Voyage Watch. The new Longines watch is a true ode to the historical feat, accomplished by the outstanding personality of Charles Lindbergh.

Omega watch in James Bond film ‘is justification for product placement’

ITV are hoping the use of an Omega watch in the most recent James Bond film can be repeated across its portfolio of shows.

The strong presence of Omega watches in a James Bond film has been cited by one website as an example of product placement, which ITV hopes to introduce to some of its flagship programmes.

Product placement involves brands paying for their goods to be given a prominent position in television shows and films, explains This Is Money.

Omega invested in this for the most recent 007 movie – Quantum of Solace – in which Daniel Craig showed off a model from the luxury Swiss designer.

ITV says that featuring products – such as luxury watches – in Coronation Street, the X Factor and others would add realism and allow the corporation to increase revenue, the website reports.

Consumer group Which? and the Church of England have both declared they are against the proposal, according to the online publication.

Quantum of Solace was the 22nd James Bond film and the second featuring Daniel Craig as the fictional MI6 agent.ADNFCR-2664-ID-19560369-ADNFCR

Omega Constellation Baguette Watch Dazzles With 459 Invisible Set Diamonds

Omega Constellation Baguette Watch Dazzles With 459 Invisible Set Diamonds
Swiss watchmaker Omega has unveiled its most extravagant Constellation watch yet, in a piece unique creation that unifies more than 30 carats of baguette and trapeze-cut diamonds across a case and bracelet of 18-karat white gold. But this timepiece, which Omega  watch calls the Constellation Baguette, is notable for more than just the sheer radiance of its 459 diamonds; each stone has been exactly matched to its every neighbor, a painstaking task necessitated by the beautiful and exceptionally difficult invisible setting technique which creates the appearance that no metal joins the stones together. Perhaps most striking is the white gold dial of this splendid Constellation timepiece. Here, the sparkling field of baguette diamonds creates the impression of a supernova against which the star symbol of the Omega Constellation collection (in diamonds, naturally) appears in glorious relief within an inset mother of pearl subdial.

As a point of reference for the difficulty involved in creating the Constellation Baguette watch, Omega watches can stock no standard parts for the case or bracelet, nor any diamonds; in a hypothetical situation where, for example, a link should be added or a diamond requires replacement or exchange, the owner of this exceptional creation would have to exercise patience. To accomplish the painstaking task, master gemologists would need to obtain and precisely set only those very specific gemstones that exactly mirror the size, cut, clarity and color of adjacent diamonds on the watch. The complexity of the task would multiply considerably if numerous stones were involved in such a project.

The Omega Constellation Baguette watch is animated by one of Omega’s acclaimed in-house automatic movements. Omega’s Caliber 8421 presents a number of fascinating elements that make for a mechanism of real horological pedigree. These features include a balance bridge for optimum support of the balance wheel, a hairspring in SI 14 silicon which resists magnetism and shock, and the revolutionary Omega Co-Axial Escapement–a true innovation in mechanical watchmaking which greatly reduces friction and promotes long-term operation and precision. The caliber is a COSC-certified chronometer, having passed fifteen days of precision tests at one of the official Swiss chronometer control offices.

The world-renowned watchmaker Louis Moinet is proud to present its new brainchild, the Jules Verne Instrument 1 watch. Issued in a very limited number, this timepiece includes two revolutionary features, which really bring it to the forefront.

The first innovation is a special patent-pending mechanism, developed for starting and stopping a chronograph. It ensures absolute security when using the chronograph.

The second progressive feature is represented by a veritable piece of lunar rock, found at the side of the case at 9 o’clock position. In fact, this alluring model is the most vivacious incarnation of Jules Verne’s 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon.

The Jules Verne Instrument 1 watch is powered by a self-winding movement, embellished with 25 rubies. The movement runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 44-hour power reserve. The watch’s functionality includes hours, minutes, seconds, a date, a chronograph, as well as a second time zone.

All the technical surprises are incorporated into the case, which is manufactured from 18K (5 N) pink gold, grade 5 titanium and 316L steel.

The timepiece case embraces an attractive dial, performed in silver or black. It is adorned with Cotes du Jura pattern and completed with four pink gold applique sub-dials: 12-hour, 30-minute, date and second time zone, located at 6, 12, 3 and 9 o’clock correspondingly.

Fitting the Louis Moinet Jules Verne Instrument 1 watch,  is a hand-stitched crocodile leather strap, graced with carbon finishing.

Matt Damon is said to have worn a luxury Tag Heuer watch in the Bourne trilogy of films.

It has been revealed that in the Bourne trilogy, Matt Damon – as Jason Bourne – wore a Tag Heuer Link Chronograph luxury watch.

According to Watch ID, the Tag Heuer watch enjoys plenty of screentime in the Bourne Identity and the Bourne Supremacy – and a little less in the Bourne Ultimatum.

Damon is said to wear the same watch in real life too, having been spotted with the Link Chronograph around his wrist on many occasions.

Since it was released in 2001 there have been several updates to the timepiece – particularly relating to its dial and bezel, which can make finding the earlier editions, such as that in the films, difficult, the website states.

Features of the Tag Heuer Link Chronograph include a large black dial and bold hour numbers at three, nine and 12 o’clock.

Tag Heuer recently extended its partnership with Formula 1 team McLaren-Mercedes and is gearing up for its 25th year involved with the sport.ADNFCR-2664-ID-19539714-ADNFCR
