IWC has once again updated its gorgeous Portuguese Perpetual Calendar range extending the line with three extra models and two choices of metal. Besides an older version in platinum (Ref. IW502305,) you can now get it in red gold (Ref. IW502306) and white gold (Ref. IW502307,) too.
I can hardly believe my eyes. At this year's SIHH 2010 show, IWC has finally expanded the Da Vinci collection with its first-ever ceramic (!) model. Judging by the looks of it, the 2010 Da Vinci Chronograph Ceramic (Ref. IW3766) is going to be even more successful than the rose gold members of the Da Vinci family.
With the Luminor 1950 Chrono Monopulsante 8 Days Oro Rosa PAM 344, Panerai made yet another significant step towards becoming a full-blown Manufacture capable of making both cases and movements in-house. The 2010 model extended the range of chronographs powered by their hand-wound Calibre P.2004 that was introduced back in 2006 to power the then-future "complication" timekeepers.
Hublot, one of the youngest (and the most daring) ultra-luxury watchmaking brands, has introduced yet another iteration of its top-selling Big Bang collection of sporty chronographs. The 2010 Big Bang Gold Chronograph (ref. 301.PX.1180.RX) comes in a generous 44.5-mm case made of brushed 18-karat red gold.
The Porsche Design Flat Six P'6310 Automatic is sporting a robust and precise Swiss-made caliber and is offered in Porsche's signature black-and-orange color scheme, which is usually reserved for the creme-de-la-creme editions of their sports cars. Although a bit overpriced, it is still a nice choice for any die-hard fan of the German automotive brand.
Just like Hublot keeps exploiting its still financially successful Big Bang design, Corum keeps digging a vein of gold of its own. Offering the same easily recognizable design as the rest of the family, the new Admiral's Cup Challenge 44 Black (ref. 753.691.93/F371 AN32) automatic chronograph follows the current trend of making watches that aren't just bigger and bolder, but also can deliver your personal statement with a bit of arrogance.
