Ulysse Nardin - Golden Dream
Golden Dream – fantasy becomes reality. Ulysse Nardin is proud to unveil a new dimension of sparks for the Ladies of this world. A beautifully crafted 18 ct. gold case embedded with 40 differently shaped diamonds embodies a mechanical movement.
A mother of pearl dial studded with 12 diamonds enhances the charm of the concave shaped watch case. The case and dial of this timekeeper are hand crafted by highly skilled artists. Add to that the complexity of studding the case with 40 different diamonds, a process that takes 4 days by milling for each piece. The application of 30 diamonds on the rotor inside the movement of the Golden Dream astounds the eye, creating a moving circle of diamonds as the rotor winds the watch.
I have a dream of a golden wing,
To give me time for anything,
A sparkle of emotions, a fairy tale,
A new dimension of the future it will tell.
The galaxy on your wrist,
A star glowing in the mist.
(Ulysse Nardin press)

Baume & Mercier - Diamant
The Diamant collection by Baume & Mercier has never so richly deserved its name as with this new all gem-set version.
The radiance of the brilliant-cut diamonds is all-embracing, wrapping an incandescent garment of light around this precious timepiece distinguished by its modern, exquisitely feminine lines. The off-centered and intensely personal diamond adorning its crown, which has become the unmistakable signature feature of Baume & Mercier ladies’ models, lends the crowning touch to a cascade of 107 diamonds gracing the watch and transforming it into a stunning watch gem. From the circumference of the crown to the lateral indentation characteristic of the diamant line, the original gem-setting of the scintillating new version of the DIAMANT extends over the lugs and bracelet links, while illuminating the mother-of-pearl dial with 11 non-aligned brilliants. To achieve an even more precious glow, the case and bracelet are in full-polished steel.
With its elaborate gem-setting embodying the ultimate expression of the diamant spirit, this new jewelry model is a perfect blend of Baume & Mercier’s legendary timeless elegance and contemporary design. The new full-set DIAMANT is a perfect match for a dressy evening event, as well as an ideal companion for active women in their daily lives, making them shine like the sparkle of a hundred diamonds.

Métiers d’Art “Les Masques” by Vacheron Constantin
Some partnerships, like the one between the Manufacture Vacheron Constantin and the Barbier-Mueller Museum, seem to be written in the stars.
Both share the same values, philosophy and passions, each guided by a quest for constant renewal.
Although applied in two different worlds, this quest always leads to the same inescapable conclusion:
Time is an art, an art that is sublimated with time.
Out of this quest grew the Métiers d’Art “Les Masques” collection, which has drawn on the treasures of Jean-Paul Barbier-Mueller’s private collection and the Métiers d’Art watchmaking tradition that Vacheron Constantin has upheld for over 250 years.
At the time of its presentation in 2007, the project aroused great excitement in the world of Haute Horlogerie. Every year, over a three-year period until 2009, a boxed set of four new masks (each representing one of the four continents of Asia, the Americas, Africa and Oceania) is being produced in a limited series of 25 watches each, for a grand total of 300.
Amazingly lifelike, the first four masks reproduced on the dials of these collectors’ timepieces – from China, Alaska, the Congo and Indonesia – embody an exceptional kind of savoir-faire, combining 21st-century techniques with the rigour of traditional craftsmanship, the only combination that could preserve the authenticity of these masterpieces and portray them so realistically.

EBEL CLASSIC Hexagon 41 mm - Large Date and Power Reserve
This medium-sized model is specifically designed for men looking for a less ‘expansive’ model, as well as for women also drawn to the pure lines of the Hexagon and needing a model to fit their wrist. Down-sizing it while detracting nothing from its distinctive identity was a daunting challenge that was successfully accomplished by paring the dial down to essentials with the large date and power-reserve displays. The latter is underscored by a fine ornamental fillet and a discreet “Clous de Paris” motif, admirably embodying the flair for detail and refined sophistication representing the unmistakable signature of the Architects of Time.

EBEL CLASSIC Hexagon 45.5 mm - GMT Pink Gold
This apparently simple model dedicated to keen travelers is distinguished by the refined and pure layout of its black dial with pink gold-plated appliques: the dual time-zone counter at 6 o’clock is lined up with the large date and the main hands, while creating a striking contrast with the main dial by adopting the exact opposite color code (gold-plated appliques and black hour-markers). In a subtle manner typical of EBEL’s tireless pursuit of excellence, this pleasing visual effect also naturally facilitates readability. The GMT variation is also available in two steel versions.

DOXA SUB 1000T Sharkhunter
Whether you are a soldier or police officer, you have a very challenging job. Whether out in the field or working in plain sight, you are trying to keep a low profile. And that job becomes much more difficult when something you are wearing announces your presence with a bright, shiny reflection.
The DOXA SUB 1000T Sharkhunter Military Edition combines the same outstanding features of the SUB 1000T Sharkhunter, and takes it a step further by adding a coating of black, hardened PVD. This adds much needed durability while maintaining the necessary overall “low visibility/low profile” of the watch case and bracelet.
A combat ready version of the classic Sharkhunter – The DOXA SUB 1000T Sharkhunter Military is a field-ready reinterpretation of the original 1967 DOXA SUB. It combines the style of the original Sharkhunter with contemporary technology. We have used the classic 1000T format to ensure the classic look and feel of the original DOXA SUBs in a new, modern watch.
