Embargoes or no embargoes, it is hard to keep photos of a new exciting product safely stored away when it’s only a couple of clicks that are in the way between you and the hype train, so it’s no wonder that pictures of the hand-wound Millenary Carbon One Tourbillon Chronograph (Ref. 26152AU.OO.D002CR.01) were available for some time now. However, it was only last week that Audemars Piguet officially presented the timepiece to the attendees of this year’s SIHH 2010 event that was held in Geneva, Switzerland.

Panerai Adds Another Titanium Model to Luminor Range
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.
Panerai Radiomir 8 Days 45mm in Titanium (PAM346)
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.
Panerai Radiomir 42mm in Titanium P.999 (PAM338)
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.
Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique Phases de Lune
Okay, that’s the last one for today. Also featuring a moon-phase complication the 2010 Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique Phases de Lune (ref. PT6218-TT031-330) speaks a completely different design language with a strong German accent. Just like the other models in the Decentrique collection, the watch sports an off-centered main dial moved in the north-west direction. Still, what is particularly interesting about this one is the time display interface.
Omega Constellation Co-Axial Double Eagle Mission Hills in red gold and titanium
The Swiss luxury brand Omega has just revealed a pair of new members of their Constellation Double Eagle collection. Available in titanium and red gold, both chronographs will be sold as Double Eagle Mission Hills Numbered Edition. Yes, they may be not as sober and stern as the De Ville collection, but they surely look as stately as one can possibly get.
