A Bathing Ape Baby Milo Clear Bapex

Offered up is a look into the new Baby Milo Clear Bapex from A Bathing Ape. Featuring a clear body, the watch uses a lightweight polycarbonate case while highlighting its official mascot Baby Milo on the faceplate. Accenting the timepiece are hits of orange, white and black, which match up well with Baby Milo’s brown colorway. Look for this latest release to drop on June 5, 2011.

3… 2… 1… 0. Ignition and lift off. The High Jewellery watch Timeless From the Earth to the Moon takes off. It soars up to the sky. The engines leave a trail of diamonds and sapphires behind them. Inside the gold multi-coloured rocket, the awestruck passengers gaze at the earth’s pearly reflections. The star-filled sky, studded with diamonds, sparkles. The exploration of the infinite can begin…

Iridescence of the mother-of-pearl and precious luminosity

The High Jewellery Timeless From the Earth to the Moon decor watch pay homage to the faultless expertise of the “Mains d’or” (golden hands). The design’s creative audacity and the unique setting techniques contribute to the conception and creation of this amazing piece. Van Cleef & Arpels’ master stone setters have rigorously selected the diamonds for their sparkle, purity and carat size before entirely setting the dial’s bezel with them.

Inventing mother-of-pearl inlay

On the lower part of the dial, mother-of-pearl inlay covers the earth’s surface. Its changing reflections make this time-keeping jewel come alive.
Craftsmen accomplish amazing feats with mother-of-pearl inlay. During three months they delicately carve out the materials; white, black or grey mother-of-pearl, jasper, quartz and a variety of hard stones. They assemble the pieces, sometimes thinner than half a millimeter, with incredible precision. Their meticulous savoir-faire creates precious miniatures on which the watch hands will turn.
These remarkable masters have the power of breathing life into materials. A slight turn of the wrist changes the mother-of-pearl’s reflections.

The High Jewellery watch Timeless From the Earth to the Moon adds another story to the Maison’s great book of watchmaking creativity, a tradition started in 1920. It enriches Extraordinary Journeys collection with a glowing aura.

“…why you gotta stunt on my watch for?” … ” it happens!” 

My life is just like that movie “Momento” except I’ve never seen it and I just forget stuff all the time.

My favourite accessory. Simplicity is the key.

Anonimo’s Marlin Bronze…

Anonimo, the Italian brand of watches is offering a model out of the ordinary: the Marlin Bronze, a diving watch, 1500 meters waterproof (150 atmosphere pressure resistant) in a bronze case.  True to the tradition of the Florentine watchmakers, Anonimo pays great attention to the details. The robust bronze case is the most striking aesthetic element of this watch, combining design, know-how and great comfort.   

The central case and the back cover are made of one piece. The material used to manufacture them is also an unusual one, as Anonimo, in fact, did not use ordinary bronze, but marine bronze. This copper, iron, aluminum and nickel alloy, also known as aluminum bronze, is usually found in the nautical sector (e.g. ship propellers) and in the Navy (e.g. torpedo elements). 

Resistant both to corrosion and oxidation, the watch can be used in the most extreme conditions. Besides its functional side, the naval bronze used by Anonimo will also give the Marlin a unique look. Over time, due to the personal usage to which it is exposed, the watch will gain a darker and warmer color, it will “age”.

To emphasize the warm and elegant character of this model, the new dial colors for 2011 are a rich brown and deep green.  This watch has an elegance which catches the attention even in the most formal situations. At the same time, Anonimo remains true to its military origins and its dynamic character.  Each watch is numbered on the back of the case, which is also engraved with the image of a marlin, the legendary swordfish that gave the name to this diving watch.  The calfskin wrist strap, especially processed by the patented Kodiak treatment to resist seawater, gives a final touch of class and elegance.   The Anonimo Marlin Bronze is a limited series of 300 numbered watches per dial color.

Piaget's Altiplano Double Jeu...

Which red-blooded male can resist having a svelte supermodel hanging off his arm, let alone two prized beauties?  The same rush can be had with Piaget’s latest waif, which touts two dials governed by separate hand-wound, ultra-thin movements, for which the marque is famous.  Originally launched in 2007 to critical acclaim, the 2010 version takes it up a notch by using a unique 24-hour scale on the lower dial to represent home time.  To achieve this, the watchmakers had to modify the hour wheel and install a new minute mechanism to create a display running from 1 to 24.  And with that, a new Caliber, the 832P, was born.  The upper dial, meanwhile, runs on Caliber 838P, visible through the exhibition window.  Finishing on the watch is luxuriant and meticulous as always: note the fine, brushed and silvered dials; and on the 838P, beveled bridges, circular Geneva stripes and circular graining on the main plate.  Available in 18K pink for S$47,690 or white gold for S$49,150 with a brown alligator strap.

Cartier's Ronde Louis Cartier...

The Ronde Louis Cartier is named for the watchmaker who popularized the mechanical wristwatch for men, and thus has many of the defining characteristics of the timepieces of the era.  It was in this period that Cartier was able to innovate in the design of wristwatches thanks to its partnership with Edmond Jaeger and Antoine LeCoultre, which gave them access to some of the slimmest movements of the time.  Since then, Cartier has developed its own in-house movements and the Ronde Louis Cartier timepiece for this year is also an extremely slim timepiece, with a hand-wound mechanical caliber 9754 MC.

The throwback to the early years of Cartier as a watchmaker is shown most evidently in its hands, which are the apple-shaped hour and minute hands on the dial.  Early Cartier timepieces also featured this design, eventually giving way to the sword or diamond-shaped hands seen today on their timepieces.

The Ronde Louis Cartier collection has a very consistent look, with large indices around the dial in Roman numerals and a smaller circle of Arabic numeral indices indicating afternoon time.  A chemin de fer minute track is marked out in black.

What is new to the Ronde Louis Cartier this year is the use of guilloche on the dial.  The rosette pattern is divided into two areas, leaving a blank white dial for the minute track and Arabic numerals.  The larger Roman numbers are indicated on the rosette pattern, with a tiny Cartier logo at 7 o’clock.  A small seconds counter with a railroad seconds track is positioned in between 10 and 11 o’clock with a needle pointer.

Other little details such as the inverting of numbers from ‘21’ to ‘15,’ deliberately done to facilitate the reading of these times, demonstrate the thoughtful design process that goes into each watch at Cartier.

Variations of the Ronde Louis Cartier include the pink gold model as well as diamond-set models on the bezel and crown, as well as on the center of the dial and finally, a model with full pave diamonds.
