HUBLOT
Big Bang Broderie
Always true to its principle of fusion, Hublot connects traditional handcrafting with twenty-first-century technology, and takes us on a tour of Swiss savoir-faire, beginning with St. Gallen embroidery. A reference in this age-old art, Bischoff supplies the leading couture houses and luxury lingerie firms. Working with Hublot, Bischoff imagined an exclusive embroidered motif that could fuse with the iconic Big Bang design: a skull on the dial, studded with 11 diamonds, that will appeal to her rebellious side, then flowing arabesques on the bezel and strap. Once embroidered on tulle, they travel from St. Gallen to the Swiss Jura, where they are moulded in carbon fibre, using an exclusive, specially developed process, in order to accentuate the texture. The components are then assembled at the Hublot manufacture in Nyon, where the watch is brought to life by the HUB1110 automatic movement. Each rendition is proposed as a 200-piece limited series.

MB & F
HM3 MegaWind Final Edition
The HM3 MegaWind Final Edition by MB&F achieves the ultimate contrast: that of light and dark. The dark surfaces of the case in black PVD-treated 18K gold and the rotor in blackened 22K gold and titanium are accented with the green light of Super-LumiNova. In pitch black, the constant glow from the hour and minute displays on two three-dimensional cones contrasts with the stroboscopic flashes produced by the oversized “battle axe” rotor as it swings back and forth above a luminescent strip on the surface of the inverted movement. MB&F has introduced yet another technical revolution to this already complex architecture in the form of Super-LumiNova GL C3 Grade A, the purest and brightest luminescent substance that is distinguished by its unique green colour. 25-piece limited series.

EBEL
Ebel Wave Lady
Marilyn knew it: diamonds are a girl’s best friend. These precious stones now bring their endless power of seduction to a breathtaking jewellery watch, by Ebel. Set in delicate gold waves that flow across a mother-of-pearl dial, diamonds captivate as much as they sparkle. A jewel in the Wave collection, this new timepiece prolongs the waves formed by the bracelet’s distinctive links to bring sophisticated glamour to the wrist. It glows with the shimmer of diamonds and mother-of-pearl on the dial, and with the incandescence of gold on the case, to make each moment as precious and eternal as diamonds.

FRANC VILA
FVn N° 3 Inacessible Tourbillon Répétition Minutes
Franc Vila unites two major complications of the watchmaking art to compose a truly unique musical score. A symbol of precision, the tourbillon rubs shoulders with the tuneful poetry of a masterfully orchestrated minute-repeater mechanism. Setting the stage for this fascinating mechanical symphony, Franc Vila has entirely skeleton-worked its FVn N°3 calibre, visible both through the sapphire crystal caseback and on the display side. This airy construction creates striking 3D effects that are accentuated by the flying tourbillon that appears to be suspended in its carriage at 6 o’clock. The pink gold case houses a secret, since its rotating bezel serves to wind the minute-repeater without disturbing the overall aesthetic balance, as the traditional slide would have done. Innovative right the way through to the final details, this one-of-a-kind creation represents the ever first tourbillon and minute-repeater that is water-resistant to 100 metres.

CARAN D’ACHE
Limited Edition Crystal
When two Manufactures, both devoted to excellence, combine their unique skills, their creativity gives form to three fine writing instruments, proposed as limited editions: Crystal. This encounter began with a droplet, or rather the famed Coutard design which René Lalique imagined in 1935. On the body of a pen crafted from white gold, black ceramic or white ceramic, Caran d’Ache has reproduced this iconic spray of water to bring forth the magic of exceptional objects, made entirely inside its workshops, in Geneva. On ceramic, these droplets spell out a pattern in relief, magnificently orchestrated by talented artisans. And when Crystal drapes itself in white gold, no fewer than 341 diamonds (3 carats) illuminate with their absolute purity the shower of drops along the writing instrument. This unique objet d’art is accompanied by an inkwell in satin crystal, especially created by Lalique. The renowned glassmaker’s signature completes this opus with a crystal cabochon that crowns each pen.

ORIS
Oris Thelonious Monk Limited Edition
Oris presents the latest timepiece in a collection that pays tribute to jazz legends. Produced as a 1,000-piece limited series, the Thelonious Monk celebrates the unique talent of one of the greatest ever American jazz pianists and composers. Monk was known for his avant-garde style and dissonant harmonies. In a clever reference to his distinctive technique, the smoke blue sunburst dial features 11 graduations between 10 and 12 o’clock. The hour-markers take the form of small polished dots. The back of the case is engraved with the “Round Minute” pianist’s favourite quip, “MONK ALWAYS KNOW”. He liked to share this play on words – “Monk” is “Know” backwards – with audiences by turning around the ring he wore and which had been custom-engraved with his name.

MAURON MUSY
Black Steel Armure
Unafraid to shake up ideas, Eric Mauron and Christophe Musy have put their name to a new adventure in alternative watchmaking for the twenty-first century, with a patented system for gasket-free water-resistance. Anti-establishment rebels with a cause, the pair have rid the case of the gaskets and adhesives that a conventional system relies on, to guarantee water-resistance in its most noble form. Echoing its unique concept – a flawless match of design and functionality – this watch further asserts its groundbreaking personality with an elaborate architecture of powerful, sleek lines. This expertly crafted, avant-garde exterior houses a COSC-certified automatic movement; proof of the brand’s dedication to the finest horological mechanics.

GROVANA
Grande Date
Grovana presents a pure, restrained design distinguished by its elegant simplicity, setting the stage for a large date at 12 o’clock and small seconds at 6 o’clock. These two perfectly readable and useful functions stand out against the silver-toned dial enhanced with delicate raised motifs. The facetted hands and hour-markers create a subtle contrast with their golden garments, echoed by the case with its remarkably pure lines. A calfskin leather strap sets the perfect classic finishing touch to this composition that is equally at ease in daily life as on special occasions. A faithful companion that will appeal to men in touch with their times.

BREITLING
Transocean Chronograph 1915
At a time when chronographs had just a single pushpiece in the crown, in 1915 Breitling invented the first independent pushpiece at 2 o’clock, which ensured a better separation of functions and adapted more naturally to the user’s hand. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of this milestone invention that would change the face of the modern chronograph, Breitling introduces the Transocean Chronograph in a 1,915-piece limited series, equipped with a new manufacture monopusher movement featuring a double column-wheel system (patent pending), a transparent sapphire crystal back and a vintage-inspired dial. The steel case incorporates the famous 1915 pushpiece in a redesigned, elongated, smoothly integrated form that further enhances its functionality. Truly a collector’s item, complete with official COSC chronometer certification, that will delight the chronograph’s innumerable fans.

FRANC VILA
Inaccessible Tourbillon Répétition Minute
This flying tourbillon combined with a minute repeater is distinguished by characteristics that are unique in their kind – starting with the choice of platinum for the case and bezel. While admittedly very prestigious, this material is rarely used in this type of watch, since its density is considered not ideal for propagating sound. Small matter. His background in chemistry together with knowledge acquired over the past years enabled Franc Vila to solve the problem by combining alloys of varying density, both in making the case and the parts relating to the sound diffusion. Another original innovation is to have the minute repeater wound not by the traditional slidepiece, but instead by rotating the bezel. Each timepiece is unique.

CHOPARD
L.U.C Qualité Fleurier
The Fleurier Quality Foundation is one of the most demanding watch certifications. It combines the COSC, Chronofiable and Fleuritest trials. Chopard presents a new timepiece bearing the prestigious label. Entirely developed, crafted and assembled in Fleurier, the brand-new L.U.C Qualité Fleurier chronometer perfectly embodies the Chopard vision of Haute Horlogerie perfection. The brand is indeed the one that has had the most watches certified by the Fleurier Quality Foundation since the creation of the much-coveted label, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2014. Completely independent and open to all watch brands, not only does it certify the precision, reliability, durability and perfection of the aesthetic finishes on the movement, but also the excellence of the watch as a whole. It also testifies that the entire timepiece, including all movement and exterior components, was indeed manufactured in Switzerland.

TAG HEUER
Carrera Calibre 18 Chronograph
To create its new Carrera Calibre 18 Chronograph, TAG Heuer has drawn inspiration from a true icon: the first chronograph specially designed for racing drivers that Jack Heuer made in the 1960s. It’s all there: the original Panda effect with two anthracite counters standing out against a silver-toned dial; robustness together with tried and trusted functionality, and even the historical Heuer logo. Topped by spherical sapphire crystal inspired by the original model, this vintage-touch automatic chronograph is also equipped with a telemetric scale on its inner bezel ring. This function was formerly used by the military to measure their distance from artillery fire based on the speed of sound. Modern-day adventurers notably use it to see how far they are from a storm. The kind of adventurers who can perfectly identify with the Carrera collection, whose Spanish name means “top-level competition”.

OKLETEY
Merry Go Round
A new name in watchmaking, Okletey makes an impressive debut with Merry Go Round, an aesthetically pleasing flying tourbillon in a watch that uses forms, materials and nuances to great effect. The rectangular steel case with black PVD treatment encloses a silver dial, composed of a central circle with an original guilloché motif, itself surrounded by a skeletonised “spider’s web” structure. The tourbillon, which takes pride of place at 6 o’clock, completes the tableau. Sharing the dial is a power-reserve indicator at 9 o’clock and, at 11 o’clock, an opening that reveals the differential.

CHAMPS ELYSEES
Estelle
A new name in Swiss fine watchmaking, Champs Elysées, based in Neuchâtel, proposes delicately crafted, beautifully gem-set timepieces. Its Estelle watch takes inspiration from the world-famous Place de l’Etoile in Paris, giving the Champs Elysées name its full resonance. With its pavé dial, diamond-set bezel and yet more diamonds set on its case, Estelle comes draped in a total of 2.9 carats, composed exclusively of stones graded D and E for colour (with a very small proportion of F). This timepiece lends itself to every occasion and every wardrobe, and confers sophisticated, contemporary elegance on its wearer. Through precious materials such as 18K pink gold and white mother-of-pearl, together with an automatic movement, Estelle combines the signatures of traditional watchmaking with the refinement of jewellery, developed with Swiss-Made expertise. What else could one expect when the world’s most prestigious avenue meets the birthplace of fine watchmaking.

MOVADO
Museum® Classic
While the history of Movado is brimming with milestone events, including more than 100 patents registered and over 200 international prizes won since its founding in 1881, the year 1947 was a momentous date in the evolution of the brand and indeed of design as a whole. Based on the principle that time measurement is first and foremost linked to the Earth’s rotation around the sun before being a mathematical division, artist Nathan George Horwitt drew an entirely numeral-free dial bearing only a 12 o’clock dot symbolising the sun at its zenith. Acclaimed for the purity of its design, this model went down in history as the Movado Museum® Watch. The brand now presents its new Museum® Classic model. While it retains the original artistic simplicity of the dial with its famous dot at 12 o’clock, this variation is enriched with subtle aesthetic details orchestrated in a remarkably understated way. The tone-on-tone details endow the black lacquered dial with a subtle sense of depth, while the lugs prolong the flowing lines of the steel case and a black calfskin strap sets the perfect finishing touch.

ARTYA
Son of Gears Shams
Skeletonisation is a difficult art when it comes to watchmaking. Whether modern or classic, the architecture of the movement thus pared down to essentials must be aesthetically pleasing and not impede reading the time. Artya successfully ventures into this field with this collection named “Shams”, the Arabic word for the sun. It is easy to see why when examining the original cut-out of this hand-wound movement. While the shape remains the same for the three variations of this collection (each issued in a 99-piece limited edition), they appear clothed in original exteriors according to the various PVD treatments applied. The steel case/black movement is accompanied by a version with steel case and 100% gold-toned movement, along with another with a steel case and steel movement. This variety will appeal to both men and women across all generations.

New kid on the block Dwiss has already made a name with its inventive designs. Jet Setter Sport, the latest creation from the young brand, now introduces a new set of design codes. The patented construction of the titanium case matches complexity with innovation, by means of open lugs that create totally transformed perspectives. The bezel, meanwhile, integrates dynamic black rubber inserts. Furiously modern, the Jet Setter Sport makes a powerful statement, further accentuated by the black dial that makes legibility its prime concern with hour-markers in red and white. This resolutely sports-styled watch is driven by an automatic movement that tracks time with eminently Swiss precision.

GIRARD-PERREGAUX | Constant Escapement L.M.Girard-Perregaux introduces an authentic technical revolution in its Haute Horlogerie collection: a constant escapement. Thanks to this innovation protected by three patents, the escapement delivers constant energy to the regulator, whatever the energy left in the barrel, in order to ensure the perfect regularity – and thus optimal precision – of the watch. To address the challenge of constant force that has preoccupied horologists down through the ages, the escapement has been fitted with an intermediary device fitted with a silicon buckled blade six times thinner than a human hair. The blade stores up the energy by being repeatedly flexed to a point as close as possible to its unstable state or buckling point, before releasing the exact same amount of energy each time and then tirelessly beginning all over again. Girard-Perregaux is presenting a pink gold version in 2014.
MAURICE LACROIX | Masterpiece GravityBuoyed up by a formidable capacity to view the world from a different perspective, Maurice Lacroix loves defying conventions. Its new Masterpeice Gravity is a perfect example of this attitude, since it is the first watch equipped with an assortment – balance roller, lever and escapement wheel – entirely made of silicon. Three times lighter than steel, this material is also more accurate, less energy-hungry and requires no lubricant. Like the oscillator, this fascinating innovation is clearly visible within a resolutely contemporary aesthetic composition accentuated by an off-centred hour and minute dial, as well as small seconds creating fascinating depth effects.
GUCCI | G-Timeless Slim AutomaticCompletely updated, the G-Timeless Slim watches by Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry are back centre-stage with stylish new features. Proposed as three versions, they are now driven by a mechanical automatic movement for even more horological substance. A deliciously curved bezel surrounds the dial whose surface is decked out in Gucci’s iconic “diamante” pattern, in a larger design and now extending across the entire dial. A new minute circle accentuates the contour of the dial whose narrower hour-markers complete the look. Small seconds at 6 o’clock add to the dynamic character of this undeniably contemporary timepiece.
HYT | H1 Red2The first ever wristwatch to show time using a liquid, the H1 is back with a new red fluid, the result of over a year’s R&D. Stored in a reservoir under the dome at 6 o’clock, this liquid advances through a capillary as the hours go by, then returns to its initial position in a retrograde movement after completing one circuit of the dial. Located in the upper part of the watch, a haute horlogerie mechanism commands these fascinating fluid mechanics. It propels a cam which pushes a piston to activate the bellows which alternately compress and expand the reservoirs, one of which contains the red, water-based liquid and the other a transparent, oil-based fluid. Limited series of 50
JULIEN COUDRAY 1518 | Oeuvre JC 1588 SportWith this fourth collection, Manufacture Julien Coudray brings cars and watchmaking together in a most original way. The mechanical movement that beats inside this Oeuvre JC 1588 Sport reproduces on its oscillating weight the registration plate of its lucky owner’s car, making each timepiece truly one-of-a-kind. The harmoniously miniaturised number plate is crafted from solid 18K red gold and grand feu enamel. Fully hand-engraved and decorated, there are no limits to how it can be personalised, making it even more individual and exclusive. In an ultimate touch of refinement, the service indicator, shown in a window at 12 o’clock, reveals a drop of oil, reproduced in enamelled gold, after four years to remind the wearer that the watch must be serviced.
HALDIMANN | H3The H3 brings with it a world-first, being the only wristwatch ever to possess a central flying tourbillon and a minute repeater. Truly a work of art, this mechanical sculpture chimes the magical melody of watchmaking’s two most highly prized complications. Carrying on a family tradition of innovation since 1642, master watchmaker Beat Haldimann has created this watch to keep horological complications firmly at the centre of our attention. Seemingly weightless, the elegant flying tourbillon appears to float in the centre of the dial, completing one revolution per minute. The gentle sound of the minute repeater underscores the poetry of this mechanical masterpiece, which has been entirely imagined and crafted in the Haldimann family workshops in the Alpine city of Thun, thus continuing the tradition of this remarkable dynasty of watchmakers
VICTORINOX SWISS ARMY | Dive Master 500To mark the 25th anniversary of its watchmaking activities, Victorinox Swiss Army presents a limited, numbered series of its famous diver’s watch. For the very first time in brand history, this exclusive titanium model issued in a 500-piece limited edition houses a mechanical automatic chronograph movement. Built to resist and endure, this authentic diver’s instrument is water-resistant to 500 metres. To ensure impeccable visibility under water, it features generous luminescent indications not only on the hands and hour-markers, but also on the chronograph counter rings and in the 20-minute dial zone. The latter is echoed on the bezel bearing original marking, with a luminescent coating that seems no different from the others but actually turns blue in the dark.
ERNEST BOREL | Jules Borel Officially Certified ChronometerThis timepiece honours Jules Borel, the watchmaker who co-founded the company in 1856. Beneath an exterior that takes its style from the first wristwatches of the twentieth century beats an automatic movement whose timekeeping performance has been certified by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC). This carefully crafted gem of precision and reliability resides in an 18K pink gold case, bringing the refinement of noble materials to the delicacy and elegance of classical horology.
FRANC VILA | Cobra FV 18E « Manual Suspended Skeleton »An immersion into the heart of an exceptional mechanism capable of making time stand still for just a moment. This model works true magic when the gaze alights on the skeleton-worked movement. Built and cased-up in total suspension, the calibre is stabilised by a clever system of springs. Appearing to be levitating in a dial-free structure, it draws observers into a fascinating mechanical exploration infused with the expertise of the finest master-watchmakers.
CLERC | Hydroscaph H1 ChronometerA powerful and innovative design. Water resistance to 500 metres. Unfailing security in the depths. In other words, a formidable exploring machine that has sailed through the merciless tests performed by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute, the watch industry’s highest benchmark for precision and reliability. Its name is Hydroscaph H1, a high-tech luxury diver’s watch that is bound to delight deep-sea adventurers
DA VINDICE GENEVE | The Vindex TourbillonThis new model from Da Vindice embodies an encounter between the tourbillon, a symbol of watchmaking excellence and traditions, and a resolutely 21st century design. Topped with the brand’s emblematic lily motif, the tourbillon sits majestically enthroned at 6 o’clock, while the dial reveals other beauties including generous Roman numerals standing out against an elegant guillocé background. The honeycomb motif adorning the sides of the tonneau-shaped case completes the total-black composition
TECHNOTIME | TT 738This thriving small company produces modules, mechanical movements, tourbillons and balance-springs. Technotime has been enjoying renewed expansion since 2003, when the manufacturer decided to launch into making high-end mechanical movements. The flagship of the brand based in Les Brenets is the TT 738 movement, featuring a blend of design and performance and designed to adapt to brand’ need for differentiation. The available versions include a retrograde date module and/or power-reserve indicator. Equipped with Technotime balance-springs, it may, depending on clients’ wishes, be chronometer-certified by the COSC. This mechanical gem is also available in a hand-wound version, the TT 718.

While this authentic mechanical performance-accelerator is known for its reliability and its precision, it is also one of the biggest horological “motors” on the market, enabling optimal layout of the chronograph counters to ensure perfect readability. The generous case with its adrenaline-charged lines does the rest.
JEANRICHARD | TerrascopeAn icon among Jeanrichard watches, the Terrascope invites us to make each moment a new adventure. Cloaked all in black, it suggests a moonless night in the vast expanses of the desert, lit by luminescent hands and hour-markers like a sprinkling of stars. In a two-coloured livery, the Terrascope interprets time tinged with refinement and a delicious sporting touch. The case, with its complex, multi-level construction, commands attention with an immediately recognisable design. Inside beats a mechanical automatic calibre that will take its wearer through each new day’s adventures with remarkable precision.
HYT | H2 Titanium & White Gold BlueHYT continues its quest for hybridisation, this time with a blue liquid that interacts with the mechanical movement through an interface of two bellows in a “V” arrangement. The central minute hand has a layered construction to run alongside the fluid system and sweep the bellows by making a jump after 30 minutes. The crown-position indicator (“H-N-R”) at 3 o’clock is balanced by another hand corresponding to a temperature indicator. This exclusive HYT innovation tells the wearer when the liquid is at the optimal temperature to adjust the watch. Limited series of 20.
EBERHARD & Co | Chrono 4Featuring its iconic counters lined up along the same horizontal axis, an exclusive feature of Eberhard & Co, the famous Chrono 4 adopts an even sportier look this year in its original 40 mm steel case. The black counters creating a tone-on-tone effect with the dial are lit up by contrasting silver-toned rings echoed by the Arabic numerals that stand out against the hollowed luminescent studs. The chronograph sweep seconds hand lends a very dynamic touch of red also featured on the 24-hour counter hand.
L’DUCHEN | Supernova CollectionGrandiose and majestically luminous, a supernova is formed when a star explodes. Its brilliance may be even more intense than that of the galaxy. Such a phenomenon is believed by some to have given birth to our solar system, five billion years ago. The new collection from L’Duchen is dedicated to this grand mystery of the universe. The watch depicts fascinating three-dimensional stars on its dial, while the helicoidal décor symbolises the birth of a star. Its functions are driven by a mechanical automatic movement of which the balance is revealed through an aperture at 6 o’clock.
FRANC VILA | TributeFranc Villa presents a new collection dedicated to women and named “Tribute”. Inspired by the emblematic lines of the “Esprit Unique”, it comes in various compositions imbued with a modern and elegantly refined style. Whether adorned with a single row of diamonds or entirely set with gems, Tribute radiates exquisite femininity through various dial versions – classic, mother-of-pearl or mother-of-pearl with floral motifs – , while its interchangeable strap adapts to every mood and desire.
AEROWATCH | Collection 1942 « Night & Day »Intended to accompany every moment in a woman’s life, this creation by Aerowatch distils a vision of time imbued with poetry and refinement. Its dedicated mother-of-pearl day/night disc features a radiant sun in the first part of the day, which gives way to the moon when night falls. The star-studded sky is elegantly depicted on the white mother-of-pearl dial graced with eight diamonds giving a timeless touch.
ATLANTIC | SearamicAtlantic composes an ode to femininity with its new Searamic.

HORA NOVA AHCI | Collection Vincent Calabrese – RégulusAt the summit of his art, master watchmaker Vincent Calabrese presents the purest rendering ever of a tourbillon regulator: Régulus. A fascinating case in white sapphire contains a movement, proposed in 18K white or yellow gold, whose design and manufacture are entirely the watchmaker’s work. The skilfully orchestrated wheels come alive against a backdrop of absolute transparency, as if to remind us that the essence of watchmaking has always lain with mechanical genius.
CHARRIOL | Colvmbvs
Cintré ConvexeThe delicately restrained and emblematic ColvmbvsTM by Charriol breaks free of the round shape to appear in an elegantly waisted rectangle. Playing on the subtle alchemy between straight and curved lines, it distils an elegance tinged with classism making it a perfect choice for any situation. This delightfully chic model with its mother-of-pearl dial and diamond hour-markers will doubtless appeal to women of today.
RODANIA | Tyara MoonWith its new Tyara Moon watch, Rodania offers its very personal portrayal of time imbued with a blend of poetry and elegance.
