July 15, 2008 by Evgueni Matoussevitch Filed Under: Swiss Brands

Favre-Leuba Bathy V.2 mechanical depth meter diving watch

The new Favre-Leuba Bathy V.2 mechanical depth meter is one of those diving watches any watchmaker can be proud of. Although it won’t become such an omnipresent luxury accessory as the Rolex Submariner, the device still deserves some attention of true connoisseurs thanks to its built-in mechanical pressure gauge, which is not only easy to read but is also quite interesting from the point of view of industrial design.

Victorinox AirBoss Mach 6 Power Gauge “Aviator”

July 9, 2008 by Evgueni Matoussevitch Filed Under: Swiss Brands

Victorinox AirBoss Mach 6 Power Gauge pilot's watch released

Featuring a cluttered dial and an oversized body, the Victorinox Swiss Army AirBoss Mach 6 Power Gauge doesn’t look like a practical choice. However, the exaggerated busyness of the exterior and the nice finish of its mechanical movement makes this “aviator” a nice fashion accessory for those who always dreamed about accomplishing a tour of duty on a real aircraft carrier.

Bvlgari Diagono Retrograde Moonphase (ref. DGP42BGLDMP) rose gold watch

The Italian-based fashion and jewelry brand Bvlgari keeps adding new exclusive models to its elegant Diagono collection. Trying to keep their accessories as upscale as practically possible, the brand issues this Diagono Retrograde Moonphase (ref. DGP42BGLDMP) in an almost prohibitively priced massive rose gold case that features their own self-winding movement. Coming as a -relatively- limited-edition model and featuring their traditional exaggerated design, it will possibly sell off fast thanks to its brief, but dramatic cameo on Robert Downey Jr’s wrist at the latest Iron Man blockbuster.

Bertolucci Serena Garbo Chronograph (ref. 393.55.42.10D)

Maybe not as classy and well-advertised as the major Swiss-based manufactures, the relatively young Bertolucci brand is nevertheless capable of producing a sort of wristwatches characterized by their stark and well-balanced design. Their new Serena Garbo Chronograph (ref. 393.55.42.10D), for example, features a surprisingly rich design language with lots of well-chosen details that together form a solid quartz timekeeper: a rare thing in a niche dominated by watches featuring crude (sometimes, deliberately so) approach to design.

Archimede Black Pilot M and Chronograph PVD watches pays homage to Luftwaffe?

The German watch maker Ickler GmbH (which is better known for its more expensive Limes brand) has introduced a pair of new members to its Archimede Black Pilot series. Offering the same deliberately anonymous design as dozens of other affordable wristwatches out there that are styled after the iconic B-Uhr timekeepers immortalized by the German Luftwaffe (compare them, for example, to Steinhart Nav B-Uhr collection and it would be hard to tell the difference,) this watch attempts to win your attention combining three main factors: great Swiss Made self-winding caliber, unrivaled customization ability, and, of course, the matte-black coating that makes the watch as stealthy as a night bomber and as durable as a gun.

The Swiss watchmaker Chopard has extended its last year’s Happy Sport Mark II collection with new All Black model, which is now available in two versions: one with a fixed bezel set with almost four dozens of beautifully cut diamonds, and the other featuring a sportier design with a rather standard unidirectional rotating bezel with a diving time scale. Both feature matte black PVD finish that makes a perfect background for the moving diamonds on their dials.

With its signature styling and a well-chosen automatic movement that keeps it ticking, new Bvlgari Diagono Calibro 303 Chronograph looks like a nice choice for a person in search for a sportier kind of a reliable timekeeper that doesn’t try to look like your average run-off-the-mill Omega or Breitling.
