Tag Heuer

Issued in a limited edition of 500, this model follows on from the Calibre 360 Concept Chronograph that has already earned the brand considerable success. It is basically a mechanical chronograph capable of measuring and displaying time to within 1/100th of a second. Specially designed for collectors, this limited edition model is rendered even more precious by the pink gold of its case, enhanced by the guilloché chocolate brown dial. Brown alligator leather strap with pink gold folding clasp. Also comes in two other limited series of 100 in white gold and 360 in steel. from.http://www.swiss-watchmaking-year.com/watches/index.cfm

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

Jaquet-Droz

Embodying the Jaquet Droz signature, time loses itself in the infinite space of the luminous grand feu enamelled ivory-coloured dial. The slender blued steel hands count off the minutes in the centre, hours at 3 o’clock, seconds at 6 o’clock, 24 hours at 9 o’clock and the date at 12 o’clock. The case is in 18-carat white gold, as is the pin buckle securing the black alligator leather strap. This line stems from the Hommage La Chaux-de-Fonds 1738 collection, reminding connoisseurs that it was in this city that the founder of the Manufacture, Pierre Jaquet Droz, developed the automatons that were to carry his reputation well beyond Swiss borders. from.http://www.swiss-watchmaking-year.com/watches/index.cfm

Martin Braun

The deep black beauty of onyx makes this watch a precious setting for a complication movement such as those to which Martin Braun has accustomed us, particularly in the EOS series to which this timepiece belongs. Notos was indeed the son of Eos in Greek mythology. The elegant arrangement of the various dial displays ensures excellent readability of the functions: hour, minute, seconds, equation of time between 1 o’clock and 4 o’clock, date at 12 o’clock, month at 6 o’clock. Between 7 and 9 o’clock, Martin Braun has provided space for a complication he particularly cherishes: the indication of the declination, a function he describes as “showing which line of latitude the sun is currently found on at noon”. Available in stainless steel, 18-carat gold and 950 platinum versions. Water-resistant to 30 metres thanks to the screwed-down sapphire crystal exhibition case-back secured by eight screws. from.http://www.swiss-watchmaking-year.com/watches/index.cfm

TAG Heuer.Monaco

Monaco. A prestigious circuit whose original track is a very special experience for drivers. In 1969, in honor of this unique Grand Prix, TAG Heuer launched a chronograph with a new design. Its water-resistant square case - the first in watchmaking history - houses the Chronomatic, the world’s first automatic chronograph movement with a microrotor. Steve McQueen had an empathy for this audacious, rebellious watch and in 1970 chose to wear it in the film “Le Mans”, dedicated to motor racing. The Monaco has lost none of its originality and still embodies the avant-garde spirit that inspires TAG Heuer.from.http://www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/monaco/index.lbl?lang=en
