A Quest For Precision   Dubai, UAE - November 28, 2019: In watchmaking, the margins of precision can be measured by seconds. That may seem small to most people, but for OMEGA, those seconds represent a lifetime’s work. Even in 1848, when Louis Brandt sat down to create the company’s very first watches, his ambition was to produce the most accurate movements possible.

Indeed, OMEGA is perhaps the only watchmaker in the world to be named after the excellence of a calibre. But this was only a starting point. The 20th century followed with numerous first-place awards at observatory tr ......read more

Dubai, UAE - November 25, 2019:  Corum unveils two limited editions of their Golden Bridge, combining the aesthetic of the baguette movement with that of suspension bridges. Two aerial works of art, suspended in the void, hoisting the creativity of the brand to a new level until now unexplored. Architecture is a transversal theme already largely explored by Corum. Recently, the Golden Bridge Stream, Round and Rectangle collections lent their unique aesthetics to compositions combining art and architecture, technique and aesthetic, creativity and respect for Fine Watchmaking traditions. The new Golden Bridge Round 43 Art Deco continues this renewed vision of the watchmaking art. As always at Corum, the piece is universally admired for its aesthetic dimension and pictorial power. ......read more

Dubai, UAE - November 21, 2019:  Eberhard & Co. pays tribute to the sporting spirit of the historic Italian brand with a new Limited Edition chronograph. This is the coming together of two powerhouses of innovation built on tradition, with the objective of maximum performance. Certain brands know how to mix technical skills with passion, performance with emotion. These are the ones which have the power to endure, precisely because they push all the right buttons, in the head and in the soul.  Alfa Romeo and Eberhard & Co., each in their respective fields, have always shared the same goal: to hit the heart with unique products.  The aim of Eberhard & Co., founded in 1887 and nurtured in the heart of the Swiss watch region, has always been to challenge tim ......read more

Dubai, UAE - November 20, 2019:  Nature is a source of inspiration for all. Humans have always sought to imitate it, and automata were among the first objects to recreate natural movement. Parmigiani Fleurier has drawn on its expertise to restore many pieces, including a snuff box with singing bird produced by Frères Rochat around 1820 and belonging to the Edouard and Maurice Sandoz Collection. At first sight, the piece appears to be a 75 mm x 51 mm x 25 mm box designed to hold snuff. The materials used are all eminently precious, with the box made from finely engraved coloured gold to represent foliage, cornucopias and dolphins, and it has a compartment intended to hold snuff. Yet the piece harbours a secret. When the side button is pressed, the polished oval element edged with pe ......read more

First big automatic Regulator of the Chronoswiss collection Dubai United Arab Emirates - November 17, 2019:    With the Flying Grand Regulator Open Gear Retrograde Second, ReSec for short, for the first time in its more than 35-year history, Chronoswiss presents a regulator timepiece in a striking 44mm case with an automatic movement. The C.301 is an exceptional automatic calibre developed by Chronoswiss. The refined Open Gear construction makes the regulator mechanism a main design element. It is put into the spotlight at the face of the dial, where the train wheel bridges in charge of the off-centre hour display were skilfully skeletonized and screwed firmly to the dial, which in turn becomes part of the movement. The eponymous retrograde seconds hand sweeps along the trac ......read more

Dubai United Arab Emirates - November 14, 2019:    Parmigiani Fleurier is proud to present the Tonda Chronor Slate. This chronograph, created by the watchmaking centre's manufactures in 18 ct rose gold or white gold, is limited to 25 pieces of each. To a certain extent, Parmigiani Fleurier's expertise in the measurement of time is rooted in the restoration of two pair-cased pocket watches created by James Cox, pieces dating from the 18th century which are held by the Edouard and Maurice Sandoz Foundation collection. Each of these twin timepieces has a jumping seconds mechanism, formed of a hand which makes one revolution per second. Parmigiani Fleurier's history began when Michel Parmigiani opened a restoration workshop in 1976. This marked the start of his in-d ......read more

The new Chronoswiss Regulator Classic – All-rounder in two sizes   Dubai, United Arab Emirates - November 11, 2019:   After its facelift, the tried-and-tested Regulator Classic now re-emerges with a sporty-elegant overall appearance. The relaunch is in this case not limited to the dial, but includes the entire watch. In the future, the all-rounder will be available in two different sizes: in addition to the 41mm diameter (a Chronoswiss standard), the Regulator Classic is also available in a 37mm case.

To enable its full use day and night, the watch comes as standard with a redesigned bracelet made of sturdy stainless steel attached dir ......read more

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - November 04, 2019:    The “Sistema Magini” by Eberhard & Co. in its “Mod. Mag.” version was a pole of attraction at the recent Bolaffi auction where it was assigned at 156,000 euros.   The famous Eberhard & Co. split-seconds chronograph, produced in the early 1940s and instrumental for the success of an epic Italian Air Force mission, was named after the heroic pilot to whom it was issued, Publio Magini.   The chronograph was, in fact, at the centre of a relatively unknown episode of the Second World War, the round trip Rome-Tokyo flight of 1942. In that period, the Axis powers were unable to communicate via radio because their secret codes had been deciphered by the Anglo-Americans. Italy, Germany ......read more

A manual-winding model, a symbol of classicism, paying tribute to the Maison's founding date   Dubai, United Arab Emirates - October 31, 2019:    In 1887, the time, when the Swiss Maison was founded by Georges-Lucien Eberhard, La Chaux-de-Fonds was already the town that most represented the heart of Swiss watchmaking in the world. The historic Baroque style building, built by the founder and known in the town as "La Maison de l'Aigle", brought together the watchmaking studios and the family home under one roof.  TODAY Eberhard & Co. has returned to its roots by re-establishing its headquarters within the Maison de l’Aigle and has contributed to restoring the imposing eagle that defines it, dominating “Le Pod”, the main ro ......read more
