Corum is pleased to unveil its new Admiral’s Cup AC-One 45 Regatta watch. Having long partnered with the most prestigious regattas and sailors, including Loick Peyron and Ben Ainslie, the brand has now developed a caliber that provided a countdown function with a chronograph.

The new Corum watch has maintained all the classic features of the iconic Admiral’s Cup collection born in 1960.

The novelty is animated by a new automatic movement - Caliber CO 040, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 48-hour power-reserve. Its jumping countdown function can be adjusted from 0 to 10 minutes. Its numerical aperture display guarantees perfect readability. Its chronograph allows to time up to 12 hours of racing.

Prior to the first regatta signal, the watch owner programs the countdown function with help of the crown to the number of minutes according to the regatta standards at between 0 and 10 minutes, and then presses the pushbutton to make it run. If it is set to 10 minutes, the transition to 9 in the aperture pointed to by the red arrow is performed via a jump after 60 seconds. Then, the minutes left are marked off down to 0, and the final gun is fired signaling the start of the race. Using the regatta countdown function of the watch its wearer can set it incrementally to any given minute between the first and last sound signal before the race starts.

The extremely accurate chronograph is presented via a red central sweep-seconds hand and 30-minute and 12-hour counters positioned at 12 and 6 o’clock respectively. It continues running to count off up to 12 hours of racing.

The case, 45 mm in diameter, is rendered in grade 5 titanium and reflects the signature identity codes of the collection - an iconic 12-sided bezel and the inner bezel ring bearing the nautical pennants.

Victorinox Swiss Army is excited to unveil a new version of its bestseller Chrono Classic model – the Chrono Classic 1/100th watch. The novelty boasts both aesthetic and technical innovations.

The new Victorinox watch is equipped with a new quartz movement and the watch’s owner can easily transform it from a classic timepiece into a chronograph with 1/100th of a second accuracy. This transformation simply requires a double press of the crown. It is also important to mention that for the first time for this type of movement, the 1/100th of a second is presented numerically with help of two rotating discs.

The Chrono Classic watch holds one more surprise - two fresh dial colors.

Despite all the innovations, the new version of the Chrono Classic has maintained its signature features – the case with its fluid forms, elegant horns, and oblong buttons on both sides of the crown.

How is the transformation into a chronograph performed? When the watch owner presses the crown twice, the three central hands are realigned at 12 o’clock, and the 6 o’clock date indicator is transformed into a counter at zero position. The chronograph is traditionally started by pressing the 2 o’clock button. The red central hand shows the seconds, while the other hands are responsible for counting out the minutes and hours. To stop the time measurement the same operation is performed –the 1/100th of a second is showed in the 6 o’clock window. The 4 o’clock pushbutton resets the chronograph.

It is remarkable that the watch owner can go back to the normal way of time-reading even while the stopwatch is running. He simply performs a double-click on the crown.
The new Chrono Classic 1/100th watch has been developed in close cooperation with Soprod. It is animated by the Swiss-Made Soprod SOP FM13D quartz movement.

The guilloche decoration above both discs at 6 o’clock have been inspired by the shape and casing of the Swiss Army Officer’s Knife, paying tribute to the origins and philosophy of the brand. The discs’ rotation hints at the knife’s folding blades.
The new Victorinox Chrono Classic 1/100th watch has been created in a few variations:

• a powerful sporty version with a “dark grey” dial and bezel with Black Ice PVD coating, a case teamed with a biologically tanned black leather strap or a stainless-steel bracelet.


• a more urban and audacious version with a champagne dial and bezel, gold PVD coating, a case teamed with a biologically tanned brown leather strap or stainless-steel bracelet.

The 41 mm case is rendered in brush polished stainless steel. The face is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with triple anti-reflective coating. The case-construction is 100-meter water-resistant.

The new Victorinox Chrono Classic 1/100th watch is expected to be available starting with September 2013.

This casing pays tribute to the military watches of the first half of the 20th century, which were protected by a grille or a lid. Today, this element looks stylish and unconventional.

Girard-Perregaux presents its new Traveller ww.tc watch. Created as a fine traveling watch, the timepiece reflects the brand’s remarkable expertise in the field of world time watches.

Till the end of the 19th century each city used its own time based on observation of the sun. For example, the United States had about 115 official local times. In 1870, the Canadian engineer Sandford Fleming introduced a worldwide system, having divided the world into 24 time zones. The system was gradually adopted by all countries of the world. In 1935, the Genevan watchmaker Louis Cottier developed a timepiece indicating the time in all 24 time zones.

The case of the new Girard-Perregaux watch is constructed from 34 elements and demonstrates polished and satin-brushed finishes. The steel case accommodates a self-winding movement - the in-house caliber GP03300. The 476-part mechanism drives the following functions – hours, minutes, small seconds, world time with day/night indication, a chronograph and a date.

The opaline dial features two hands in luminescent material and a clearly visible seconds hand. The creators of the timepiece wanted the dial to show the meridians, while maintaining its supreme readability. The dial is edged by a beveled ring with the names of the 24 cities and by the 24-hour day/night disk. The date aperture is found at 2 o’clock. The 30-minute counter is positioned at 9 o’clock, the small seconds counter at 3 o’clock, and the 12-hour aperture at 6 o’clock. The hour markers are also provided with luminescent material.

Although the new Traveller ww.tc watch boasts its mechanical complexity, it is absolutely user-friendly. The single screwed crown found at 3 o’clock is to be used for regulating all the watch’s functions. The crown has three notches. The first position is for setting the city index, the second for setting the date and the third for setting the time, the minute and the 24-hour ring.

The ergonomic design of the watch is completed with an extremely flexible rubber strap covered in velvet look alligator leather.

The new Girard-Perregaux Traveller ww.tc watch has been created in three other variations: a matte black dial and a steel case, a silvered opaline dial and a titanium case, and a silvered opaline dial, a black ceramic bezel and a steel case.

Due to an innovative design, the moon phases and power reserve display mechanisms are linked directly to the barrel. The remarkably precise lunations are presented on a wheel in continuous rotation. They have to be adjusted just by one day in 122 years. The corrector is found on the case at 10 o’clock.

You will notice that the design for the moon is highly realistic. The image depicts the visible face of the moon – it is created on a mineral glass and then metalized with a gentle gradation from black to gray making one think of the Milky Way. The sky is studded by silvery stars. The display is framed by a satin-brushed circular border bearing the divisions of the small seconds.

The instantaneous large date jumps in 15 milliseconds. The work of the date display mechanism is based on a system patented by the brand. It incorporates two disks – a transparent disk and a matte disk, for the units and tens respectively. The disks, being just 0.10 mm thin, overlap with no borderline. The round contemporary calligraphy of the date numerals finely matches the overall design of the timepiece.

Breitling debuts its new Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon watch, best described as elegant and ultra sporty.

The dashboard-inspired dial demonstrates two exclusive technical features of the brand. They are accentuated by red rimmed indications. The smart “30 second chronograph” system, crowned by a patent back in 1926, incorporates a central hand that sweeps around the dial in half a minute instead of the common 60 seconds, offering remarkably accurate 1/8th of a second readings.

While conventional tachometers are meant to be used for observations based only on times lasting less than 60 seconds, the new Breitling watch is built with a “variable tachometer” switched on via the rotating pinion bezel and can be used for measuring average speeds whatever the time elapsed, the distance covered or the speed achieved.

The all-black design makes one feel its originality and strength. The hands and hour markers are also presented in matt black provided by a luminescent coating for utmost readability in the dark.

The 49 mm case is crafted from black titanium. Built with a screw locked crown, it is 100-meter water-resistant. The dial is shielded by a cambered sapphire crystal, glareproofed on both sides.

The new Breitling Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon watch is teamed with a midnight black rubber strap that features a central raised motif matching that of the knurled bezel , making one think of the signature radiator grilles on the prow of Bentley cars.

The heart of the Breitling watch is a self-winding chronograph movement - Breitling Calibre 25B, offering the precision and reliability chronometer-certified by the COSC. The 38-jewel movement is operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Breitling Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon watch is available in a limited number of 1,000 pieces.

The horological world welcomes a masterpiece of the watchmaking art – the Ulysse Nardin Stranger watch. The novelty imitates a classical music box playing “Strangers in the Night” on the hour or on request. It has been inspired by the brand’s partner, musician and conceptual artist, Dieter Meier, and bears his signature. It belongs to a limited edition of just 99 pieces.

The development of the new Ulysse Nardin watch took more than five years. The “Stranger” represents a mechanical self-winding musical watch. It incorporates the brand’s silicium technology for the escapement and anchor of the in-house UN-690 movement. The watch wearer adjusts the time with utmost ease. He activates the crown function with help of a pusher instead of traditionally pulling out the crown. The 64-jewel movement provides 48 hours of power-reserve.

You can admire the action of the mechanism via a sapphire crystal. To hear the melody “Strangers in the Night” hourly or on request you have to actuate a special pusher. The on/off pusher for activating or deactivating the musical mechanism is found at 10 o’clock.

The integral pusher crown allows to set a number of functions, including winding, setting the date and correcting the time. You have to simply turn the crown forwards or backwards.

The 45 mm case is sculptured from 18K rose gold. It is 30-meter water-resistant.
The Ulysse Nardin Strange watch is presented on a leather strap fitted with a folding buckle.
