DE GRISOGONO

INSTRUMENTO GRANDE OPEN DATE

Drawing on the fabulous heritage of the Instrumento Grande, the 2009 replica of this benchmark timepiece features an openworked dial with an entertaining and intuitive reading of the date. Thanks to this new architecture, the two date discs can be seen in their full glory. The elegant man looking for originality will simply capitulate when he sees these two perfect circles whose meeting point is enclosed by the straight lines of a transfer rectangle at 6 o’clock. A geometric design masterfully re-invented by De Grisogono, a brand that never ceases to amaze.

DEWITT

Academia Tourbillon Force Constante Mecanica

With the Academia Tourbillon Force Constante Mecanica, a wristworn companion exuding an even more ruggedly virile and unmistakably modern charm, DeWitt is once again displaying noteworthy creativity by enriching its legendary constant-force tourbillon with a dial featuring a revolutionary design.

The aesthetic of this model has also been revamped to enhance its modern appeal. Inspired by its inherently avant-garde nature, DeWitt wished to endow its creation with a powerful masculine appearance that is the timeless signature of the Geneva-based watchmaker. The upper part of the black sunburst dial on the Academia Tourbillon Force Constante Mecanica has thus been embellished with a “car radiator grille” motif surrounded by a rhodium-plated ring. The openings revealing the tourbillon and the movement regulating organ have been fitted with a tinted glass, a visually appealing system that lends a mysterious contemporary elegance to this distinguished timepiece.

HYSEK

TOURBILLION TETHYS

Abyss: deep time
Following the success of the first tourbillon calibre the manufacture launched in 2008, Hysek adds to the palette of the Abyss Tourbillon line, presenting five new versions: an Abyss Tourbillon Gold and Titanium model, as well as a series of timepieces conceived around the theme of the four classical elements. Each of the pieces produced reveals its symbolism in the colour reflected on its face by a gem mounted in the bezel. Thus, Hélios is characterized by the colour red and the ruby, Tethys by the colour blue and the sapphire for the ocean, Céleste by a lighter blue and a diamond incrustation, and finally Gaïa, where the colour green converges with an emerald.

Water – TETHYS: First Ocean at the time of the united continents. TETHYS owns a deep blue-tinted dial with as a symbolic element the pearl, precious jewel born of the ocean’s depth, for an exquisite refinement. This complication with a bezel inlayed with six sapphires is of a remarkable elegance and delicacy.
