Latest Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical watch and Cabestan Nostromo Watch

Ariel Adams, the webmaster and the main contributor of the luxury watch review blog, reveals that he recently tried the the Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical watch on his wrist, and the result is impressively fantastic as shown below in the picture. As we know, it is famous watch designer who designed the Cabestan. And the related watch artisan spared no effort to make sure the watch has adorable appearance and reliable functions. It is no exaggeration to say the finishing on the Cabestan is second to none.

The latest version of Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical watch shows a few differences from the previouis model that was released several years ago. And the biggest change is that it has the winch removed. I guess it is to smoothen the line of the case and enhance its appearance. The original winch, as a independent part, was fitted at the right side of the watch. You can use it to wind the watch. And another big change is that this version is resized to a reasonable size to make it fit into normal wrist. The resized project must be very tough given the complexity of the watch.

Inside the watch, there has two sapphire crystal glasses that allows you have a clear view of the vertically-placed tourbillon that also displays seconds, hours and minutes. And the power reserve indicator is located on the on the mainspring barrel. The watch applies a complication of fusee and chain to transfer the power.

I have to say, the new Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical watch is so damn cool, though it takes some minutes to make clear its complex functions.

And the next watch offer from Cabestan is the Nostromo-name of a shion in the Alien movie. This new Cabestan comes with similar theme as the the Winch Tourbillon Vertical watch, but it is less expensive-just goes for 150,000 Swiss France. And you know the original model sells at 325,000 Swiss Francs. The Nostromo is fitted with just one sapphire crystal over the front and it applies rive-shaft system to transfer power from the mainspring to the movement. It replaces the winch with a pop-out crown that stays inside the watch when it is not used. And movement is further revealed by two sapphire crystal sides. What is more interesting is that, the watch has new image at night as the movement and the strap have some special areas coated with SuperLumiNova.

IWC Portuguese Tourbillon Mystere Retrograde Report

IWC Portuguese Tourbillon Mystere Retrograde shines at the SIHH 2010 not less than the IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph. And as we know, Portuguese Tourbillon Mystère has been the big star of Portuguese line for a long time with breathtaking beauty and the sophisticated rotating carriage escapement. Now, its newest model has been given a seven-day power reserve indicator and an fabulous date indicator that automatically jumps back to the beginning place at the end to the month-and that is why it has “Retrograde” in its name.

IWC Potuguese Tourbillon Mystere Retrograde

Since Portuguese Tourbillon Mystere was launched in 2004, the number of its fans has kept increase as it is so intriguing, attractive and mysterious. It has golden proportions, unique glass and fantastic tourbillon escapement setting that creates an illusion that the refined case seems to rotate in a void while keeping good balance.

On the dial, the flyback date indicator with graduated scale is the real diva. It occupies near one quarter of the surface. As mentioned already, the date indicator will jump back to the first day of each month of 31 days once reaching the “31”.and In months that have less than 31 days, or if the watch has not been worn for some time, the date indicator can be advanced via the rapid adjustment function and springs back to the beginning place. No adjustment is needed.

The minute tourbillon takes the place of the small seconds and brings a mysterious touch to the timepieces. The function is performed by the steel cage of three stays that are arranged in a star shape. The tourbillon is composed of 91 parts and weighs 0.433. It is another eye-catcher on the dial as a “animated twelve”. This tourbillon rotates once every minute against the deep black background under part of the cage-and that is where people find it is very mysterious and intriguing. In addition, not like the previous model whose tourbillon was set in a plate segment with cylindrical grinding, this tourbillon is presented on a ring with mirror-finished inside and thus parts of the escapement are reflected again. So this tourbillon present a visual feast for admires.

The power reserve indicator appears at the right side of the dial , providing the remained power of the barrel.

IWC Purtuguese Tourbillon Mystere Retrograde has two variants: 18k red gold case a silver-plated dial and platinum case with ruthenium-black dial. The former is limited to 500 pieces, while the latter is limited to 250 pieces.

New Longines Lindbergh Altantic Voyage Watch

Filed under: Longines Watches — Tags: , , , — Vivian Lau @ 4:33 am

Pictured bellow is the latest model from Lindergh Line. As a new model, though it has few new characters. It seems that Longines does not have enough imagination in mens watch designing. Take the dial for example. It is actually same as most Lindbergh themed watches offered by this brand. The dial itself dresses vintage style color, and has two subsidiary dials, blued steel hands, and the tachymeter scale at the out ring of the dial. Nothing special and Nothing new. Or if classic is about making no invention?

longines-lindberghs-atlantic-voyage-watch

The thin case, sized at 47.5mm, is available in both stainless steel and 18k rose gold. And it features, like a pocket watch, a hinge at the rear that has been fitted with a sapphire crystal window to allow a view of the the ETA A07.231 automatic chronograph. You can open the rear by pushing the crown. And the watch is completed by a brown alligator leather strap.

Overall, I feel very boring when I look at this new Longines watch. And god knows that this brand used to offer much better Lindbergh themed Longines watches in the past. And to my knowledge, Longines even made a special watch for Charles who was spotted worn it on the trans-Atlantic flight. Also, Longines has done tons of work to convince people that every penny they pay for a Longines watch is worth.But sadly, it is not as successful as Omega who has been trying hard to make moon watch stand solid in people’s mind. Maybe things would be much better if it had put more time and effort in making their watches more interesting . Longines must have some changes, otherwise their mens watch market share may shrink faster than they imagine.

By the way, the watch case is too thin given that it is nearly 47.5mm which is the exace size of the Longines Lindbergh watch,for Charles Lindbergh.

Early last century, the watch maker Waltham enjoyed very good reputation in furnishing “mechanical horses”of watches. Meanwhile, this brand made fine watches as well.

Recently, Waltham was proud to announce the launch of the Fidalgo watch that is presented on stainless steel and fitted with curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment.

The Wlatham Fidalgo watch has a large black dial featuring a tachymeter scale at the outer ring. The suddials and the minute track catches eyes in contrasting white color. The hour markers are large and coated with white luminous materials to ensure ideal reading in the evening. The subdial at 3 o’clock is a running seconds, and the one at 9 o’clock displays 30-minute chronograph. And the dial is conpleted by a date window at 6 o’clock.

Beating inside the watch is the the Dubois Depraz 30030 calibre, a high quality manually-wound movement that has been high-end COSC-certified. The movement provides practical functions including hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph, and the tachymeter.

The latest Waltham Fidalgo watch, reviewed by watchesee.com. is completed by a perforated buffalo leather strap with a a folding clasp. The strap is available in several colors including black, gray and red. Inspired by the automobile sport and made by the brand’s experienced artisans, this watch is born to excite those who love true speed and fine watches.

Review of Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4 watch

The new year just begins and the watch world welcomes a watch that regards itself and is considered by many as another most complicated watch on this planet. It is the fourth member of the highly complex Franck Muller Aeternitas collection. Different people have different opinions on the looking of the watches in the collection.

Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4 watch

Franck Fuller has been headached for the financial problem for quite a time but it is managing to finish this extremely complicated watch. By far, the brand has not disclosed how many pieces they will launch. But I am sure this watch will be exclusively limited considering its complexity. Anyway, the first model was already finished and presented to an American collector.

Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4 watch-Functions

Beating inside the watch is a huge 36 complications. As the picture below shows the various functions of the watch, I am not going to list them here again. If you are interested, check them yourself.

Inside are a whopping 36 complications! I am not going to list them all here, but you can consult with the image in the gallery below for a spec sheet of the various functions that it has. And you know thie movement is composed of 1,483 parts. Incredible! It is said that it takes five years to design the complex movement. The dial of guilloche pattern displays 25 of the 36 complications. And part of the functions are a monopusher split-second chronograph, a 1000 year calendar, very accurate equation of time, complex sonnerie chiming functions, multiple timezones, moon phase indicator. Of course there are more. Busy though, the dial is very intriguing to look at.

Now, I have no ideals about the watch materials and the case size. But the case must be huge. And I think the biggest competitor to the Aeternitas Mega 4 watch is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie watch that has 25 complications. The latter is , personally, much eye-pleasant and less expensive. The former asks for $2.7 million

Two Creative Aspects of Cartier Rotonde de Cartier Central chronograph

Last year, Cartier released not a few exceptional watch models to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary. And the Cartier Rontonde De Cartier Central Chronograph is my favorite in their 2009 watch offerings.

I am drooling over the dial of innovative two-layer design. The upper dial that covers part of the hour hand and the minute hands display the chronograph. The arc-shape window serves as the 30-minutes, and the seconds hand travels around the black minute chapter ring. The lower dial tells the time with the brand’s signature blued hands and classic Roman numerals as hour makers.

cartier-rotonde-de-cartier-central-chronograph-watch

This watch has another attractive features aside from the creative dial design: Beneath its 42mm rose gold case, there beats the Cartier’s in-house new movement: 9907 MC caliber movement. The brand claimed that the 9907 was completely designed, developed and assembled by their artisans. The movement is composed of 272 individual parts and sports a a column wheel with vertical coupling system for the chronograph. According the official saying, the chronograph function of the movement features less energy consumption than other chronograph watches.

The crown which extends out a little long from the case is one of the signature feature of Cartier watches. Like other models from this brand, the crown of this attractive Rontonde De Cartier is fixed by an iconic screw and has classic blue cop at the top.

As mentioned above, this watch is particular innovative in design. As far as I know, Cartier has filed for patents for the two-layer design of the dial and the location of the chronograph.

The FVt28 is the new women’s watch collection by famous boutique watch maker Franc Vila. Two Jumping Hours Automatique Ivy Edition Watch in this collection comes with the brand’s iconic case design. And surprisingly, these watches do not have aggressive and masculine touch that the design is famous for. Instead, they look quite unique and technical.

Modified Rolex Watches and Time and Gems

Due to the fact that Rolex watches always retain good value, the second-hand Rolex watch market is is not less flourishing than the new Rolex watch business. In fact, the demand for used/older Rolex watches are so huge that the market is very crowded. However, it still sounds a bit weird purchase an older model when the market offers new items.And you better have your older Rolex modified or customized to bring it new life and characters that make you stand out of the huge legion of people who own the same model.

People’s strong desire to be special have given birth to a rising segment in watch market- Rolex modification. This segmental market offers modification services for both new Rolex watches and used models.Most of modifications, like Rolex, have a certain history. Normally, these modifications refer to adding precious materials or jewels to the watch. In recent years, watch modifications tend to just change the colors or materials of the original model.And different people hold different opinions on the modified Rolex watches.

Rolex Watches With Black DLC by Time and Gems

Realizing the blank of all black Rolex watches in the market and the huge potential demand, the modified watch dealers offer a vast selection of new/used Rolex watches modified in all black. All these modified pieces are of higher price tags than the original models.Normally, the highly limited new modified Rolex watches are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only those rich celebrities can afford one to show off their personal features and characters. And the modified used Rolex watches are of better value while being much closer to ordinary people.

And the reason behind the higher pricing is that the modification process is more difficult and complex than it looks. And modified Rolex watches, either new or used, are as good as the time and work put into them and the money you pay for them. And you should know clear what you want and select with patience before moving to buy . And nowadays, PVD coated or DLC coated Rolex watches are highly sought after. The PVD models are more refined, while the DLC items are more contemporary.

And after the Project X Designs and the Bamford & Sons, Time and Gems, based in Los Angele, is the third Rolex modifier.While it is new to Rolex Modification market, Time and Gems in fact has involved in the sale of used Rolex watches for quite a long time. Now, it offers a increasing selection of modified or customized Rolex watches including not a few DLC and PVD coated models from various lines of Rolex.

As mentioned above, modified Rolex watches are more expensive than the original models. But they looks more attractive and unique thanks to the painstaking work by modified watch producers.

Review of Volna Typhoon Siberia SHCI Chronograph Watch

Filed under: Volna watches — Tags: , — Vivian Lau @ 3:37 am

Volna is Swiss luxury watch brand sporting Russian heritage. That sounds a little ridiculous as Swiss luxury concept and Soviet Russian are two concepts that always fight with each other. But Volna obviously ignores the issue and gives an impressive slogan for the brand –“Russian Heritage Swiss Made”. Anyway, this brand has some distinct design features that it should be proud of. For example, Volna watches always carry a style of military nationality that you hardly find from other brands. Maybe it is because high-rank military officials in Russian need watches of great look and great style.

Volna Typhoon Siberia SHCI

Well, the Typhoon Siberia SHCI is the brand’s latest creation. And this new sports chronograph watch watch is completely done in Grade 5 titanium and is sized at 46.5 mm. The crown and the case back feature an engraved propeller. The dial has two versions: red on black or black on red. Both dials come with nice satin finished ruthenium plates.Beating inside the watch is a modified Swiss ETA automatic movement.

And as we know that there is a common problem for chronograph diving watches: When the wearer use the chronograph in deep water, the water may go inside and thus damage the watch. To solve this problem, Volna specially designs a unique system called “Security Hand Chronograph Indicator” (SHCI). This indicator is used to display the locked or unlocked condition of the chronograph at 9 o’clock position of the dial. And you can lock the chronograph through the  turning lever located on the crown.

The Volna Typhoon Siberia SHCI competed by a rubber strap and is limited to 250 pieces. The price is estimated to be more than $10,000.

First Watch Collection from Avenir Chrono

Filed under: Avenir Chrono — Tags: , , — Vivian Lau @ 5:33 am

Those men behind the Rafaello & Company Jeweler brand have a new watch brand Avenir Chrono created and start a brand new journey that is adventurous and challenging.

avenir-chrono-boss-premiere

Not sure if the name “Avenir Chrono” suggests that it will only produce chronograph watches, but the first watch collection from this brand-Boss Premiere does just contain chronograph models. And the collection is available various materials including stainless steel, rose gold, platinum and titanium. And you make have these watches set with diamonds on the case and the bracelet if luxury style is your cup of tea. The watch cases come in 44mm or 50 mm. Though big watches are popular nowadays, I am afraid 50mm is too big for most men.

The watches features high contrast that make them extremely attractive. Obviously, Avenir Chrono did a great deal of homework before making these watch. As known to the watch world, high contrast is one of the shortcuts to make watches eye-pleasing. The guilloche engraved dials comes with a subtle touch of aviator style, while being high legible and masculine. And the brand smartly spices the dials up with an amount of red hue.

Except nice looking and high-end parts, the Avenir Chrono watches are also equipped with reliable Swiss ETA Valjoux 7753 automatic movements.And the prices for these timepieces starts at around $12,500 and goes for $ 45,000. If you want a customized version with diamonds, the price will jump to higher range between $65,000 - $120,000.

It seems that new watch brands just mushroom. But judging from the premiere, I can tell that Avenir Chrono clearly aim to attract those fashion persons who look for high-end watches of attractive looks and unique characters.
