Frédérique Constant


This gentle watch pervaded by the theme of hearts was launched to coincide with the inauguration of the new Frédérique Constant headquarters in Plan-les-Louates. With its double heart-shaped opening, its mother-of-pearl dial, its cabochon-cut diamond hour-markers and its gem-set bezel, it is brimming over with charm. The case is crafted from gold-plated steel and the alligator leather strap is fitted with a folding clasp. from.http://www.swiss-watchmaking-year.com/watches/index.cfm

Cadence™ T1


The Cadence Wristrate Watch from NK is the latest in stroke rate and performance monitors. A full-featured digital sports watch, it can also be quickly and easily strapped onto a sculling or sweep oar for wireless stroke rate measurement. The patented tilt-switch technology calculates stroke rate based on the feathering interval. There are no wires to install, making the Cadence an especially great tool for rowers who use different boats. For the coach or spectator, the Cadence offers a large, dedicated rate button right on the face, allowing easy rate measurement at any time. It's even possible to take rates with one hand by simulating the feathering motion with the watch hand - great when driving a launch. Add-in a 100-hour, 99-split chronograph, alarm, and smart auto-adjusting day/date calendar, and you have the complete rower's timepiece. from.http://www.nkhome.com/rowing/cadencet1.html

Tag Heuer


Following on from the recent success of its chronographs endowed with great technical sophistication and astonishing precision, TAG Heuer is pursuing its development with several new launches including this daring model. Both mechanical and digital by nature, the Monaco Sixty Nine combines the classic Monaco, equipped with a square dial and case and a hand-wound movement, along with an ultra-modern digital quartz movement characteristic of the Microtimer model and already presented in 2002. The result is a reversible mechanical and digital watch, equipped with a chronograph function accurate to within 1/1000th of a second. The ingenious pivoting system called for eleven rubber joints that also guarantee the water resistance of the two-part case. from.http://www.swiss-watchmaking-year.com/watches/index.cfm
