Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe
The vintage-inspired Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe first presented in 2013 is extending its range by offering a 38 mm watch attired in an abyss blue recalling the depths of the ocean. Water-resistant to 30 bar, meaning around 30 metres, it is equipped with a unidirectional bezel rotating counter-clockwise in small notches, while the luminescent marker is an ideal point of reference for divers that lines up with the minutes hand to define the start of a given dive time. The watch beats to the rhythm of Calibre 1150, an authentic technical feat featuring two series-coupled barrels delivering a 100-hour autonomy. The movement is also equipped with a balance-spring in silicon, a light, shock-resistant and innovative material that is impervious to magnetic fields. These properties serve to improve the isochronism and thus the precision of the watch.

Astrograph Limited Edition
The Maison Caran d’Ache and the horological laboratory MB&F undertook an authentic creative odyssey in creating the Astrograph. It all began with the original idea of MB&F founder, Maximilian Büsser: projecting his dreams of conquering space into a writing instrument. It took more than four years for the creative and technical forces at Caran d’Ache to make this dream come true in the shape of a “rocket”. Its structure is based on a mechanism inspired by penknives: a miniature lever – the entry door to the rocket, concealed in the ring of the pen – activates the lowering of three stabiliser legs designed to place the rocket in a vertical position, ready for take-off. Other innovative features enrich this 99-piece limited numbered edition. More than 500 manual operations were required to launch the Astrograph, the most complex writing instrument ever produced by the Caran d’Ache workshops in Geneva.
Description
Fountain pen with high gloss rhodium, ruthenium anthracite or sansblasted matt rhodium finish. 99 components. 18K gold nib. Base of the rocket “engine” fitted with stabiliser legs and a miniature ladder. Magnetic miniature astronaut figurine that can be attached at will to the body of the writing instrument. “Launch-pad” box. Other version: roller pen with sandblasted matt rhodium finish.
I.N.O.X. Carbon
The I.N.O.X. Carbon starts a new chapter in Victorinox Swiss Army’s quest for perfection. Made from a carbon resin composite that protects space shuttles from re-entry temperatures in excess of 1,260°C, it is built to achieve the highest levels of performance. Each I.N.O.X. Carbon watch combines high structural rigidity with scratch-resistance and hypoallergenic properties. Design is a priority too, shown by the clever contrast of red military time, printed under the sapphire crystal, with the subtle marbled effects of the carbon composite. An alternative to the natural rubber strap, a second strap in Naimakka paracord – a multi-strand nylon used for parachute suspension lines that has a breaking strength of 250 kg – equips this I.N.O.X. Carbon in its multiple exploits.

Aikon Chronograph 44 mm

Son of Sea Tourbillon 1/1
ArtyA introduces another creative work with the one-of-a-kind Son of Sea Tourbillon. Inspired by the famous Geneva herbarium discovered by John Briquet more than a century ago, the artist Dominique Arpa-Cirpka decided to create her own algae collection on a dial. Mingling seabed treasures, natural pigments and gold leaf with real butterfly wings and fish scales, she has composed a unique description of this fascinating scenery that appears to have emerged directly from the blue waters of the Mediterranean. A tribute to the beauty and vulnerability of of seabeds, this one-off creation beats to the rhythm of a movement exclusive to ArtyA and featuring another treasure – this time of a mechanical nature: a flying tourbillon whose rotations at 6 o’clock appear to bring the aquatic dial scene to life.

Active
The Active watch by Bergstern is brimming with energy and dynamism. This resolutely sporty model is designed for challenges and never resorts to half-measures. Function and design meet and merge in this model. Its chronograph and taychmeter scale are staged in a particularly legible manner on the dial and inner bezel ring, along with the extremely graphic hour-markers and the date window at 4 o’clock. While accentuating this legibility, the contrasts between the black dial and the red minutes counter and small seconds at 9 and 3 o’clock also contribute to the sophisticated nature of this watch.
