Just like their «ordinary» T-Navigator, the 2011 Tissot T-Navigator Automatic Chronograph (ref.

Hold the Light: Ball Storm Chaser DLC Glow
The 2011 Ball Storm Chaser DLC Glow Chronograph (ref. CM2192C-P1J-BK) may be the answer for those looking for a watch that glows, um, all night long. Even if it is an endless, life-draining polar night, you will never have to worry about your beloved timekeeper losing its brightness: the mildly radioactive gas that is stored inside its micro-tube will have enough own energy to keep glowing for ages.
Revue Thommen Airspeed XLarge Chronograph (16071.6877)
Later this month Revue Thommen is set to present the new member of its Airspeed family of luxury “aviators”: the new Airspeed XLarge Chronograph (ref. 16071.6877). Featuring a bland, even somewhat generic exterior, but being equipped with a robust caliber, the chronograph doesn’t offer much in the styling department, but gives you good “value”, especially if you will manage to find one with a good discount (or simply opt-in for a used one in mint condition.)
Carl F. Bucherer Patravi EvoTec Calendar

The Beautiful Swan: Mira Fee Celeste Ladies
At the Baselworld 2011 trade show that gathers the most serious brands from around the globe, the Swiss brand Mira -the one that dates its origins back to 1896, but, regretfully, is not particularly known to the general public- will proudly reveal its new Fee Celeste (ref. M107RBK) model with its dial featuring a beautifully executed Swan motif in 18-karat rose gold and white mother of pearl.
