Originally revealed a year ago, the gorgeous Zeitwerk started the digital revolution in the world of traditional mechanical timekeepers. Now, having its Arabic numerals covered with Superluminova and equipped with a smoked, semi-transparent sapphire crystal that replaces the original dial crafted from solid silver, the new A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous takes the idea even further.
The new A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Referenzuhr model's main selling point is the historical connotations that date back to the 19th century. A century before high-speed optical networks and atomic clocks, it was an era, when high-precision pocket watches were used to distribute the right time from the timekeeping service of the Mathematics and Physics Salon to public clocks at railway stations, and these sorts of installations where time was not just money, but also -- safety.
At the SIHH 2010, Jaeger-LeCoultre has introduced several collections designed for the most beautiful part of humankind. Among the new offerings, is an absolutely gorgeous (I know the word is rapidly losing its value, but the adjective seems to be the most appropriate in this particular instance) Master Lady Tourbillon Feathers that looks the most appealing thanks to its innovative dial design that includes, well, pieces of real feathers.
Deliberately massive and even a bit brutal, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Chronograph GMT Palermo Open was designed for those who think that an average Reverso model is just too refined for a modern man. While its size may scare away a number of customers, the watch has a good chance of become yet another iconic model for the Swiss brand.
Presented during the SIHH 2010 international trade show, this 2010 Panerai Luminor 1950 Marina (PAM 359) is (at least from the point of view of the hardware that powers the watch) identical to the more lightweight 2010 PAM 351 in titanium. Also coming in a body of the same dimensions, this one, however, has a different dial layout and is crafted from polished stainless steel.
The 2010 Panerai Luminor 1950 Marina PAM 351 is yet another model offered in a titanium case playing with brushed and polished surfaces and the usual high-quality leather strap with titanium buckle. The PAM351 was presented at SIHH 2010 trade show in Geneva, Switzerland.
The hand-wound Panerai Radiomir 8 Days (PAM 346) combines the titanium alloy of its mildly oversized case with the 18-karat rose gold of its three hands in something that some may feel like an ugly mix of difficult-to-match metals.
The hand-wound Radiomir PAM 338 that was presented at the SIHH 2010, offers you a particularly impressive combination of Panerai's easily recognizable vintage-styled exterior with the new mechanical movement, which is crafted exclusively at their own production facilities in Switzerland: a real treat for those tired of numerous "modified" movements based on inexpensive ETA blank calibers.
