Franck Muller decided to address this Conundrum by creating the Master Banker   It wasn’t too long ago when bankers all over the world faced a common problem: How do you sync your trades with all the major markets across Asia, Europe and the US? Inspired by the frustrations of a banker client, Franck Muller decided to address this conundrum by creating the Master Banker, a watch that allows you to set and view three time zones at a single glance. This year, Franck Muller builds on the Master Banker’s legacy with the new Cintrée Curvex Master Banker Asia Exclusive—a regional exclusive showcasing the signature three-time zone complication housed within Franck Muller’s iconic case.  With a new profile, this timepiece sets forward Franck Muller’s technical ingenuity once more.   The Cintrée Curvex Master Banker Asia Exclusive’s technical sophistication is matched by its elegance. A horological tool for on-the-go bankers and the discerning jet set, the watch flaunts a beautiful brushe

The Sommerso Bronze with a ceramic bezel   The Sommerso pro-diver watch, born from Italo Fontana's passion for scuba diving, in its most acclaimed version in bronze that recalls ancient marine exploration equipment, is now launched in a new model with a ceramic bezel.     This material, widely used in the aerospace industry, boasts a very high heat resistance and keeps the bezel color intense, and unaltered over time, even after long exposure to ultraviolet rays.  The watch features on the left side the iconic U-Boat crown with its patented protection device as well as a plaque engraved with the serial number while the antiqued bronze back-case has been subjected to a special anti-corrosion treatment and it is screwed down.   A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the black dial of the watch with luminous beige hands and markers plus an additional 24-hour counter and date window placed at 9 o'clock.   The watch boasts a Swiss automatic mechanical

Vanguard Line Cut, a special edition Franck Muller Genève presents the Vanguard Line Cut, a special edition exclusively sold in France. It is made entirely from grade 5 titanium, known for its multiple physical and mechanical properties such as its strength, resistance to corrosion and erosion, extreme lightness and aesthetic qualities. For this new collection, Franck Muller watchmakers have specially created an extra-flat automatic movement. This made it possible to reduce the size of the case while preserving the elegant character of the Vanguard collection.   The outline of the matte gray hand-applied numerals with black contours adds depth to the dial, while the black insert on the side of the watch underlines the delicate curve of the case, where the thickness has been reduced to its minimum.   This new design reveals an aesthetic that is both discreet and distinctive.

Louis Erard: eternally contemporary!

  Excellence Triptych, Timeless design, High-end essence and style!   “We never completely reinvent the classic timepiece, but we can give it new meaning. This is perfectly reflected in the Excellence Triptych, the new backbone of the traditional line. Louis Erard could have followed the path of many of its competitors: open up its archives, patiently curated since 1929, pull out an iconic model and update it” said Louis Erard!   But under Manuel Emch’s leadership, Louis Erard preferred the path of creation, surrounding itself with the best partners: designer Nicolas Barth Nussbaumer and movement manufacturer Sellita, not to mention all the other suppliers. The soul of this new family of watches lies in the Jura Mountains, in the small village of Le Noirmont where the brand is based, surrounded by grassy pastures and fir trees. These incredibly distinctive trees inspired the design of the hands and are featured as functional decoration on the crown, in subtle reference to Art Sap

The Chronometer of Extremes

  Center stage with a new collection   Bernhard Lederer, inceptor of numerous breakthroughs in watchmaking and creator of extraordinary tourbillons, returns to center stage with a new collection entitled ‘Tribute to the Masters of Escapements,’ a limited series of precision chronometers designed and developed to honor those who set true milestones in the advancement of an horological invention that remains as crucial and fascinating as ever.   After years of research, the watchmaker, incidentally one of the first members of the AHCI (Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants, an association with the mission to perpetuate the art of independent watch and clockmaking), brings to fruition the principle of the natural escapement with two 10-second constant-force mechanisms as conceived by John Harrison in 1756.   The Central Impulse Chronometer by Bernhard Lederer: a sleek watch with a movement of exceptional complexity, the result of unimagined development efforts and a testamen

Maison Laurent Ferrier celebrates

10th anniversary with A classical watch! The acclaimed Maison Laurent Ferrier celebrates its 10th anniversary with the release of a classical watch featuring a timeless dial and case ensemble. Consistent with the Genevan Maison’s inclination for uncluttered aesthetics, the Classic Origin Opaline exhibits a pure appearance: Assegai-shaped hour and minute hands serenely float above a silvery-white opaline dial. The slate grey dial’s hour track is marked with burgundy-coloured numerals which prove highly legible, add a soupçon of sportiness, but remain tastefully understated. A small snailed seconds display, featuring a baton-shaped hand is located above 6 o’clock. All three hands are formed of 18-carat white gold. The Laurent Ferrier Classic case is constructed of Grade 5 titanium, the first time this lightweight alloy has been used by the company.

Handcrafted and limited edition pieces Famous for his handcrafted and limited edition pieces, unique watches, guaranteed by finest Italian craftsmanship, Italo Fontana always looked for partnership with a brand sharing same vision and values. Forever passionate by Italian supercars he finally fined the right partner in ATS, rejuvenated automotive company with roots like U-Boat. Back in a not recent past, precisely in 1963 when it launched its first mid-engine design. Today's ATS GT car version, limited edition to twelve only, has some equally surprising technical innovations, just like its sixties predecessor. Among the technical innovations, the U-Boat digital watch added in the car and part of the dashboard of the advanced cockpit. The U-Boat watch is no doubt in perfect match of features with the supercar, its strong hearted Italian beauty, ready to capture hearts from this 23rd of August when will be presented at the Pebble Beach car week in California.
