The Swiss watchmaking company Longines has recently revealed some info regarding their new Saint-Imier collection of automatic timekeepers that will be revealed next month during the Baselworld 2012 event. Although there will be around a dozen different pieces in the new line, only a single photo accompanied their press release depicting the sporty Longines Saint-Imier Automatic Chronograph (Ref. L2.753.5.52/72.7) in a two-tone mix of 18-karat rose gold and stainless steel.
Doxa Splash Gent Quartz Diver (ref. 700.10R.061.20)
The new Doxa Splash Gent (ref. 700.10R.061.20) quartz diving (or, being more honest, diving-styled) wristwatch will not surprise you with a highly-complicated movement or an extreme water resistance rating. However, in these tough times, this new timekeeper may well become a nice choice for a person who simply wants to get a cool, masculine-looking timekeeper that increases one’s mojo by a magnitude of seven.

Eterna Heritage Chronograph 1938 Limited Edition
Eterna will soon expand its line of vintage-styled chronographs with a new Eterna Heritage Chronograph 1938 Limited Edition (ref. 1938.41.45.1250) model. Presented in a massive, rectangular stainless steel body that somehow reminds me of similar timekeepers manufactured by JLC, the new watch leaves a lasting impression.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Reserve de Marche
The minimalistic Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Reserve de Marche (Ref. Q1372520) series was presented during the SIHH 2012 show. Equipped with power reserve indicators, members of the new collection were thinner, more legible, and even more elegant than previous iterations.
