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.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Delivers Entry-Level Master Control
The slightly facelifted 2012 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control is (at least the version in a discreet -and also way more affordable- stainless steel body, ref. Q1548420) a nice entry-level model for those buying their first “Real Swiss Made” timekeeper.
Your First Swiss-Made: Certina DS1 “Double Security”
Even though Certina DS1 “Double Security” (ref. C006.407.16.088.00) offers a pretty generic design, it is a nice entry-level model for those high-school graduates still dreaming about their first dress watch with the legendary “Swiss Made” inscription on the dial, which is said to be adding at least +10 to mating abilities and +25 to personal charisma.
Archimede Pilot H Reintroduced in a Smaller Case
Around three years ago, Archimede has revealed its Pilot H limited-edition model. The Pilot H was a sort of “homage” to their successful Pilot Original that was powered by a vintage (so-called “New Old Stock”) Junghans 687 hand-wound movement. This year, the German brand decided to bet on yet another iteration of the same timekeeper that is now introduced in a smaller case. Meet the “historic” Archimede Pilot 39H!
Piaget Limelight Dancing Light in Rose Gold
The new Piaget Limelight Dancing Light (Ref. G0A36157) is offered in an elegant mix of rose gold and diamonds. It also delivers a simple, yet entertaining and playful complication that doesn’t enhance the timekeeper’s functionality, but makes it even more pleasant to look at.
Raymond Weil 35th Anniversary Maestro Full Calendar
With the new Raymond Weil 35th Anniversary Maestro Full Calendar (Ref. 12849 G 00659), the watchmaker offers yet another generic timekeeper at a ridiculously high price. Although the brand has been in business since 1976 (it is just a couple of years younger than yours truly,) there is something fundamentally unhealthy with their self-esteem.
