The new Chopard L.U.C Triple Certification Tourbillon is the first watch in the world to bear the three most prestigious Swiss watchmaking certifications: COSC, Poin?on de Genève and Fleurier Quality Foundation label. It represents a doubly important accomplishment for the Chopard Manufacture which has thereby not only achieved an unprecedented level of certification but has done so on one of the horological complications that is most sensitive to wear and reliability tests.The voluptuously curving 43 mm diameter rose gold case of this L.U.C Triple Certification Tourbillon embraces the new curved shape of the L.U.C collection. The polished and satin-brushed lugs have been entirely redesigned to ensure enhanced comfort and perfect aesthetic balance. The crown, engraved with the L.U.C logo, appears slimmer while remaining as ergonomic as ever.

To emphasise the exceptional technical qualities of this genuine precision instrument, the dial also reveals original refined details giving pride of place to readability: silver-toned and grained in order to catch the light, it provides a remarkable contrast with the rhodiumed black hands representing a personalised version of the "Dauphine” style. The hours are marked by delicately applied black rhodiumed Roman numerals inspired by the 1960s and topped by a minute track.This splendid exterior houses the hand-wound Chopard Manufacture L.U.C Calibre 02-13-L (L.U.C 1.02QF), the world’s only movement to be fitted with four stacked and series-coupled barrels ensuring a full nine days of operating autonomy.This movement, driving central hour and minute hands, a power-reserve display at 12 o’clock and small seconds on the one-minute tourbillon visible at 6 o’clock, powers the only timepiece to meet all of the ultimate standards in high-quality watchmaking. Of the three certifications earned by the latest model in the L.U.C collection, two relate to the craftsmanship, precision and reliability displayed in the movement, and the third to the perfection of the watch as a whole.

Instated in 1886 by a cantonal law, the Poin?on de Genève quality hallmark demands strict compliance with 12 criteria ranging from the making of individual parts to the finishing of components, along with the nature of the materials as well as movement construction and assembly. These conditions call for such a superlative degree of expertise that only a handful of brands are deemed worthy to claim membership of this exclusive circle. The COSC is the only neutral body entitled to grant the title of "Chronometer”. http://www.welwatch.org/breitling-replica-25.html The latter depends on the rating precision of a movement, which undergoes a battery of tests lasting a full 15 days and conducted in five different positions and at three different temperatures. To earn "Chronometer” certification, a movement must have been the object of particular care devoted by the finest watchmakers and precision timers during its assembly process.

Since 2002, Chopard has partnered with the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, a racing event devoted to historical racecars, which takes place along the same route as the Monaco Grand Prix. http://www.cba-watches.com/hublot-watches-61.html As official timekeeper, Chopard this year launches a new chronograph wristwatch inspired by the design of sportscars from the 1970s.

The first Grand Prix de Monaco Historique was intended as a one-off event to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Monaco’s Grimaldi dynasty, but it generated so much enthusiasm that it is now held every two years. It is now considered one of the world’s most important gatherings of historical racecars, and attracts the upper echelon of automobile collectors and enthusiasts, mostly from the United States, Germany, France and Italy. Each year’s event showcases more than 200 cars that have made their mark on their era, including models from Delage, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Porsche, Maserati and Ferrari, as well as some of the first Formula 1 cars built before 1979, from marques such as Brabham, Lotus and Williams.

Chopard’s new watch, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique 2012, pays tribute to these 1970s racing machines, not only in its aesthetics but in its construction: like a Formula 1 automobile, which must be built as lightweight as possible for optimum racing speed, the watch uses lightweight titanium for its case. (There are two versions, one with an all-titanium case, the other a limited edition of 500 pieces with a combination rose-gold/titanium case.) The pin buckle on the strap is also made of lightweight titanium.

A Swiss-made tourbillon wristwatch with an automatic movement is rare enough — but finding one that costs less than $40,000 is virtually impossible. We say "virtually,” because Frédérique Constant, a brand long known for its impressive cost-benefit ratio, has added such a watch to its repertoire with the introduction of the Slimline Tourbillon Manufacture, a limited edition of 188 pieces.

The new men’s watch, which follows the launch of Frédérique Constant’s Ladies’ Slimline Collection, boasts an exclusive in-house movement that features an escapement wheel and lever made of silicon (the company prefers to use the French term, silicium) and beats at a rapid frequency of 28,800 vph. The silicon components, according to the company, add greater durability and timekeeping accuracy to the movement and reduce the need for servicing it. The movement also holds a 48-hour power reserve.

Like those of the Slimline Ladies’ models, this watch’s case is notable for its clean lines and understated, 1950s-inspired look.http://www.welwatch.orgt/rolex-replica-65.html It is also, as one would expect from the watch’s name, incredibly slender, measuring less than one centimeter thick. The curved, sliver dial features hand-applied, rose-gold-plated indices. The upper half of the dial has a day-night indicator and the lower half displays the rotating tourbillon cage at the 6 o’clock position. The tourbillon serves as the seconds counter, making one complete rotation every 60 seconds.

Ulysse Nardin’s San Marco minute repeater, introduced in the late 1980s, was a bold rebuke to the so-called "quartz crisis,” which at the time seemed to herald the obsolescence of the complicated mechanical wristwatch. This year, in advance of this spring’s Baselworld watch fair, Ulysse Nardin again struts its stuff as a producer of ornately designed chiming watches with the release of the new Carnival of Venice.

Like the San Marco, the Minute Repeater Carnival of Venice takes its inspiration from Italy’s legendary "City of Canals.” It also uses minuscule automatons, called "Jaquemarts,” which are set into the dial and move in sync with the chiming of the activated minute repeater. On this watch, the Jaquemarts are two masked figures in the dial’s center (masks are a longstanding tradition of the Carnival of Venice, the historic festival from which the watch derives its name), who lift their masks as the repeater chimes http://www.tagheuerrelojes.com/tag-heuer-c-45.html the hours, quarters, and minutes. The movement powering this musical masquerade ball is Ulysse Nardin’s manual-wind Caliber UN-71, with a 48-hour power reserve.

However, the dial is eye-catching even when the Jaquemarts are still and the chimes are silent. Already well-known for its use of cloisonné enamel on pieces such as last year’s Santa Maria limited edition, Ulysse Nardin opted to use for this piece a dial in champlevé enamel — a decorative technique practiced by only a very few artisans today — and to further refine it with hand-chiseling and ornamental engraving.

Only 18 pieces of the Minute Repeater Carnival of Venice will be made; the 42-mm case is made of platinum, though Ulysse Nardin is also offering the option of 18k rose gold.

To mark its 150th anniversary, TAG Heuer will re-issue the Silverstone Chronograph in February 2010 as a limited edition piece.Originally introduced in 1974, the Silverstone is instantly recognizable by its cushion cut-shaped case. TAG Heuer’s Silverstone Chronograph Named for the famous racing circuit in England, the Silverstone followed the Monaco, incorporating TAG’s patented technical breakthroughs that made waterproof square and barrel-shaped cases possible.

For the Silverstone, TAG Heuer’s design team softened the Monaco’s angles. Both the original Monaco and Silverstone housed the Chronomatic Caliber 11, the first self-winding automatic chronograph with micro-rotor. Before the Caliber 11, chronographs were hand-wound and watchmakers placed the crown at 3 o’clock for easy access. Caliber 11 freed TAG Heuer’s designers from this constraint, and Jack Heuer decided to place the crown of the Monaco and Silverstone at 9 o’clock. The reborn Silverstone is powered by an updated version of the Caliber 11 with Dubois-Depraz module.

Available with a rich blue or brown dial on a matching, perforated alligator strap, the Silverstone is available in a limited worldwide quantity of 1,500 pieces per color. It will retail for about $6,500.
