Timeless Treasures

Century

Karisma

The seductive KARISMA reflects the unique personality of its wearer. Against a back of 18 ct. white or red gold, the sapphire comes in three shades: an intense black with a bluish sheen, a metallic gleam like palladium, or soft warm tones of red gold. The Dauphine hands rotate around a dial finished in smooth Chinese lacquer or delicately shimmering mother-of-pearl. Nomadic yet urban, KARISMA is embellished with either oversized roman numerals or a delicate constellation of brilliant-cut diamonds. Exceedingly refined, KARISMA is paired with a silky satin strap to complement the colour of the sapphire.

Its shape, a perfect ellipse, is a magnet for the eye. The 60 facets of the sublime CENTURY sapphire capture the light in a mysterious dance. An inalterable jewel, harmonious in every detail, the glistening case is enhanced by its gently curved profile, delicately edged by 46 diamonds.

PANERAI

Luminor 1950 8 Days Rattrapante

A movement with exceptional features contained in a case of classic elegance, created using the most noble of materials: Officine Panerai presents the Luminor 1950 8 Days Rattrapante Pink Gold 47 mm, a chronograph of outstanding technical and aesthetic prestige, produced in a numbered edition of 300 and equipped with the new Manifattura P.2006 split-seconds chronograph calibre.

The split-seconds chronograph – one of the most captivating mechanical specialties in the sector of split time measurement – is composed of two overlapping hands, one of which may be repeatedly stopped and then realigned with the other without interfering with the action of the latter. The
split-seconds chronograph can for example be used to measure two events beginning at the same time, or to calculate, lap after lap, the times of an athlete or vehicle without halting the overall timing.

The new calibre was created at the Officine Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel and is one of the extremely rare rattrapante models in which, thanks to the technical level of the movement itself, all the functions are controlled by just two push pieces, rather than the usual three, and has a power autonomy of 8 days.

ROGER DUBUIS

EasyDive

In 2004, ROGER DUBUIS presented its first line of leisure watches, taking the original - and unprecedented at that time - of incorporating a Tourbillon into a diving watch. This brand-new concept, meeting the highest technical and aesthetic standards, soon became a new archetypal sports watch. A few years later, ROGER DUBUIS now pursues its avant-garde developments by combining noble metals with the use of moulded rubber on the bezel and crown of its new EasyDiver watch. This new watch is now available at select stores in India (Mumbai & Delhi) and is priced at just over INR 56 lakhs*.

Vacheron Constantin

Only Watch 2009

In a fascinating new sequel to the official launch of the new Quai de l’Ile collection in Geneva at the April 2008 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, Vacheron Constantin now presents the first-ever one-of-a-kind Quai de l’Ile model. Dedicated to the ONLY WATCH 2009 charity auction that will take place in Monaco on September 24th, this unique watch features a tantalum case also representing a major first in the history of the Geneva-based manufacturer.

Not only had Vacheron Constantin never yet made a watch in tantalum, but its original dial was also the object of cutting-edge research conducted by the Vacheron Constantin teams, thereby ensuring the unique nature of this model specially intended to raise funds for the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy.
