At the SIHH 2010 trade show, Montblanc has presented a refreshed version of its Star 4810 Automatic Chronograph. The device is now available in tow variations that seem to differ only with the way their hands, hour markers, and large Roman numerals are finished.
A couple of weeks ago, Vacheron Constantin has revealed the new Patrimony Traditionnelle Calibre 2253 (ref. 88172/000P-9495) model featuring a perpetual calendar, a minute repeater, a tourbillon, and, omg, an equation of time complication.
For this year, AP has presented a number of watches combining traditional material with carbon fiber. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix Collection brings you three similarly styled models that will be produced in a total lot of 2475 pieces. Although the number of pieces set to be released makes the collection a 'limited edition' only in a very, um, technical way, there is at least one member of the collection that can be called 'exclusive'. Crafted from platinum and carbon fiber and boasting a price tag of approximately $130,000 USD (it will depend on the part of the world you live in,) the Ref. 26290PO.OO.A001VE.01's total production volume will be naturally limited by its outrageously high price.
With its constant flow of stunningly beautiful timekeepers, the SIHH 2010 event was, perhaps, among the most exciting trade shows of the past years. The hand-wound Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph (Ref. 26288OF.OO.D002CR.01) bears that signature bulky presence with a massive rose gold body and a fixed bezel, which is crafted from forged carbon fiber.
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.
