Breitling Creates Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel Watch

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 18:27:01 +0000

At Baselworld 2010, Breitling is to unveil its new Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel watch. The timepiece is best characterized as robust and highly technical.

The zest of the new Breitling watch is the brand’s exclusive, patented magnetic push-piece system concealed inside the case. The system allows to activate the timepiece through the metal case with no direct mechanical contact. Most chronograph watches cannot be activated while diving, but this system provides the Avenger Seawolf Chrono with the total water-resistance and functionality at a record 1,000-meter depth.

The Breitling watch also boasts the brand’s exclusive thermocompensated SuperQuartz TM movement, Breitling 73 calibre. The outstanding COSC-certified mechanism offers the precision ten times greater than the precision provided by common quartz movements. The SuperQuartz TM movement measures times to 1/10 of a second and indicates intermediary times.

The watch provides a range of useful functions: hours, minutes, seconds, date, split-seconds chronograph, and direction memory.

The steel case of the Avenger Seawolf Chrono measures 45.4 mm in diameter and is provided with ultra-resistant carbon coating. The case incorporates a ratcheted unidirectional rotating bezel. The face of the watch is shielded by a convex sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides.

The Breitling watch demonstrates a flange with the compass card to be used for memorizing directions above and below water.

The volcano black dial is completed with luminescent hour-markers and hands, including the central direct-drive seconds-hand and split-seconds hand. You will notice the 12-hour chronograph counter at 10 o’clock, while the 1/10-second counter is positioned at 2 o’clock. The date window is found at 4 o’clock.

The Breitling Avenger Seawolf Chrono Blacksteel watch, reviewed by Watches.InfoNIAC.com, is presented on the brand’s signature black Diver Pro rubber strap or Ocean Racer strap with holes. The bold timepiece will be available in a limited number of 2,000 pieces.

Breitling B01 Movement Revolutionizes the Swiss Watch Industry

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 22:11:29 +0000

Breitling's B01 In-House Movement Revolutionizes the Swiss Watch Industry
By Patrick C Bedford

Breitling has unveiled its most recent horologic innovation to the amazement of the watch industry. The new B01 chronograph movement is the luxury watchmaker's first completely in-house manufactured complication. The new features in this movement distinguish it from any other Swiss movement on the market and set a new bench mark for watch-making excellence.
Breitling has always shared a close and essential relationship with aviation, sports, and industry. It is no surprise that the maker of the first wrist chronograph and first fully automatic chronograph would pursue a higher standard of precision in its designer timepieces. By appropriating itself of the entire movement manufacturing process for the B01, Breitling can now oversee every detail of the chronograph's development.

The B01 project has created a revolutionary specialized assembly process that guarantees the integrity of each watch's quality. Movement along the assembly chain is conducted by an ultra sophisticated computer program that monitors and routes each movement throughout the various paths of assembly. The program alternates the movement's components in two phases. The first phase is fully automated and conducted exclusively by precise robotic arms. This ensures a better quality product as these machines have greater precision than a human hand. The second phase directs the components of the movement to a separate facility where partial manual assembly is required. Upon exiting the assembly chain, the movements are sent to the C.O.S.C. for extremely rigorous testing and analyzes.

The caliber B01 is available exclusively in its C.O.S.C certified version, with accompanying documentation to prove its clearance of highly meticulous precision testing. It is considered a high frequency movement at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The new Chronomat B01 features this new movement, and encases it beautifully in stainless steel, steel & gold, or 18k rose gold. This timepiece has been developed with endurance in mind and boasts 500 meters of water resistance. Another feature that has created excitement over this new Breitling movement is an optimized column-wheel device that provides a clean start/stop function without a jump of the hand. The movement is equipped with a 70 hour reserve which is an impressive feat considering its sleek shape. A patented self setting device for the resetting hammers does away with the traditional need to have a watchmaker correct each individual movement.

As the crowning achievement of this great watch manufacturer's 125th anniversary, the caliber B01 ushers in a new era for chronograph movements, and validates Breitling as the world leader in precision time-keeping instruments for professionals.

Bulova Accutron

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 21:16:15 +0000

Bulova Accutron combines their knowledge and understanding of the latest technology with an unparalleled eye for up-to-date aesthetics and trends.

Through the use of only the finest materials, techniques that have been researched and perfected over the decades and the industry's leading technology in movement, each timepiece released by Bulova Accutron benefits its wearer with precision accuracy and beauty.

Bulova Accutron's newest addition to the Mirador Collection brings the sporty timepieces to a level of true extravagance and luxury. With the same technology that has made the brand a leader and innovator of the industry, their new designs continue to raise the bar of excellent watch making.

The white ceramic and stainless steel bracelet is reminiscent of its sister watches in the collection: one in the same white ceramic and another in feminine pink. But where the others stop at just 39 diamonds set on the case, the new design soars with an incredible 652 individually hand-set pavé diamonds.

Sporty touches such as the rotating bezel, screw-down crown and screw-back case remain to tie the new watch to Mirador's existing pieces, but giving you the choice of elevating your all-day style timepiece to a level appropriate for day-to-night wear.

With almost 135 years behind it, the Bulova Corporation has tirelessly pushed the envelope of watch making to places no one thought possible. Founder and father of the brand, Joseph Bulova, began selling and designing timepieces from a small jewelry shop on Maiden Lane in New York City in 1875 and watched as his brand accomplished extraordinary feats.

Accutron's innovation has covered the spectrum, from ingenious creation of Accutron, the world's first electronic watch, to changing the way customers acquire lavish timepieces with time-payment plans, and the brand shows no signs of stopping. You can be sure that each new design will be more remarkable than the last while the brand continues to change the way we tell time.

Breguet Classique Grande Complication 5347 Twin Rotating Tourbillon

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 06:14:03 +0000

Exactly three years after the original Twin Rotating Tourbillon’s launch, Breguet offers a follow-up to the highly sought-after model featuring a pair of tourbillons on its silvered dial. This time, the watch comes in a case made of rose gold instead of platinum, but it still retails at a price of a Bentley limmo.

Just like the original model, the Breguet Classique Grande Complication 5347 Twin Rotating Tourbillon watch features a hand-wound mechanical movement with a pair of tourbillons traveling around its dial. Coupled by a differential gear, the little turbines balance each other, doubling the watch’s accuracy. The tourbillons rotate at a speed of one revolution per 12 hours so that their connecting bridge can act as an hour hand. It has a standard centrally mounted Breguet piece for the minute hand, though.
It’s been exactly a decade since Swatch Group acquired the Breguet brand from a Bahrainese investment company. During these ten years, Breguet is gradually returning to its roots, forgetting the era of constant financial troubles and slowly replacing sporty but tasteless chronographs with grand complication models. After all, it was Abraham-Louis Breguet who designed and crafted the first tourbillon watch.
Breguet Classique Grande Complication 5347 Twin Rotating Tourbillon watch’s specifications:
Price range: About €300,000
Movement: Cal. 588, Breguet overcoil, 16 1/2 lines, 69 jewels, 2.5 Hz, hand-wound
Complications: Twin tourbillon design
Power reserve: 50 hours
Case material: Rose gold, 18kt, transparent caseback
Case dimensions: 44 mm
Case height: N/A
Dial: Silvered, hand decorated
Water resistance: Yes, but not known yet
Strap: Dark Brown leather
Crystal: Sapphire

Raymond Weil Freelancer Gold Chronograph

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:30:28 +0000

The Geneva watchmaker Raymond Weil is delighted to announce a prestigious new addition to the freelancer mechanical collection: the freelancer pink gold date chronograph. With its refined aesthetics, blending modernity and technical know-how, the new chronograph symbolizes the Brand’s spirit of elegance and distinction.

A sober dial in matt black, and a case in brushed, polished 18-carat pink gold, give this new version of the freelancer a daring, original look. Along with the geometric contrast between the sharp-angled indexes and circular subdials, the choice of pink gold adds to the timepiece’s distinguished appearance. Extra dynamism comes from curved arc date-window at 3 o’clock, flanked by a horizontal aperture for the days of the week.
Each of the three subdials (minutes at 12 o’clock, hours at 6, small seconds at 9) has its own personality, differing in size and surround (applique or diamond-studded). Although it is the smallest dial of the three, the small seconds subdial stands out with its pink gold applique and accompanying screw, which reinforces the chronograph’s innovative visual appeal.
The mechanical movement, with circular graining to the oscillating weight, has a 46-hour power-reserve and 28,800 vibrations per hour. To start (or stop) the chronograph function, simply press the push-piece at 2 o’clock, then re-set by using a second push-piece at 4 o’clock.
The freelancer pink gold date chronograph has an impressive 42mm diameter case and a dark brown, full-skin alligator strap with saddle-stitching, complete with folding clasp with double push-piece security.
The freelancer pink gold date chronograph: a masculine watch with a refined design and sophisticated finish – a timepiece full of style and temperament!
FREELANCER Gents: 17740 G 20001

A Swiss Watch Will Make a Great Gift Your Special Valentine

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:06:59 +0000

Nothing says “I love you” on Valentine’s Day, or any other time for that matter, like a luxury Swiss watch. Every man and woman should own at least one very nice watch and in some cases three or four. There are various names that are considered to distinguishing in the watch industry and while some are more affordable than others the meaning behind a nice watch says a lot. You can’t go wrong with the classics. Below are some men’s and ladies Swiss watches in varying price ranges.

For Him:
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner
Unveiled in 1953, the Submariner was the first watch water-resistant to 330 feet. Its combination of unparalleled elegance and spy-friendly versatility appealed to Sean Connery’s James Bond. MSRP $5,175

Omega Speedmaster
The first watch to go to the moon (Buzz Aldrin and his Apollo 11 colleagues were wearing them when they touched down on July 20, 1969). Sporty and sturdy, this automatic chronograph is among the most accurate and affordable you can buy. MSRP $3,000

TAG Heuer Monaco
Issued in 1969, this stainless-steel classic was the first automatic chronograph to feature a water-resistant square case. MSRP $3,195

IWC Portuguese
Developed in 1938 in response to Portuguese tradesmen’s request for an oversized watch with precise, pocket-watch movement, this is IWC’s signature model. Available in every imaginable iteration, from the classic automatic chronograph to a “perpetual calendar” model, which features a moon-phase indicator that varies by only one day every 577 years. MSRP $19,400.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
The Swiss company revolutionized sport watch design when it introduced this model, with its octagonal case and eight visible screws, in 1972. The automatic, stainless-steel Royal Oak is now available with all kinds of bells and whistles, from chronograph to tachymeter, and is a big hit with golfers like Vijay Singh. MSRP $15,700

For Her:

Ladies Rolex Presidents

The Ladies’ Rolex President stands as a representation of one’s accomplishments and status. A prime choice of female politicians, executives, and actresses alike, the President watches are adorned with varying amounts of diamonds which sparkle magnificently on any wrist. Rolex Super President models differ from traditional Ladies’ Presidents with the additional diamonds which are set on the band and lugs, creating a timepiece which makes a bold statement regarding a lady’s refinement and distinction.

La Grande Classique de Longines
Capturing the soul and the style of Longines’ earliest design tradition, La Grande Classique de Longines watches have until today largely retained their original appearance and proportions. Changing expectations and technical advances have now prompted Longines to update their design, not least by introducing a larger case size and offering an even broader choice of subtly refined dial faces. But the slim, sleek La Grande Classique de Longines case profile remains unchanged, as does the cool elegance that gives this collection an appeal as enduring as the classic tradition itself.

IWC Wins Readers’ Choice Award for Best Watch Line

admin — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:20:29 +0000

By Ariel Adams

With a deep connection to functionally themed luxury sport watches, IWC rejects an approach to watch making that focuses on form over function. In recent years according to one poll, IWC, has risen to be considered the top luxury watch brand among wealthy Americans. Frequently sighted on the wrists of athletes to actors and bankers, the wide adoption of IWC watches proves that watch lovers want timepieces with utilitarian roots.

IWC watches are split between two major styles, with activity themed offerings such as Pilot or Aquatimer diving watches, and classic "thinking person" styles such as the mega popular Portuguese or Ingeniuer timepieces. Equally proficient in steel or gold, IWC is also known to offers excellently finished movements of in-house design and manufacture. IWC is also known for offering luxury watches for a wide array of budgets from mid level luxury to the ultra high-end.

While a name like "International Watch Company" might sound universal, the brand is totally Swiss in design and quality. IWC watches have little trouble being recognized in most circles and benefit from a distinct lack of pretentiousness in their brand image. Owning an IWC luxury watch typically communicates that you buy nice watches for your own enjoyment, not merely for others to see.
