Tag Heuer Calibre 360

Avant-Garde Daringness in motion: The TAG Heuer Calibre 360 Concept Chronograph
The first ever 1/100th of a second mechanical wrist chronograph. TAG Heuer, the world leader in prestigious chronographs since 1860, which has set several major milestones in Swiss chronograph history, is presenting at Baselworld 2005 the most accurate mechanical timepiece ever crafted, the Calibre 360 Concept Chronograph. The Calibre 360 Concept Chronograph is the first mechanical wrist chronograph to measure and display time to 1/100th of a second, thanks to the exceptionally high frequency of its balance wheel, which oscillates at 360,000 beats per hour, 10 times faster than any other chronograph a rate that until now was considered impossible

Glashutte PanoMatic Tourbillion

Here´s another fine piece of jewelery, the Glashutte PanoMatic.
Following in the tradition of tourbillon production, the designers at Glashütte Original have united one of the most difficult complications of classical watchmaking with innovative design and the panorama date in the PanoMaticTourbillon.This year, the luxury Saxon manufactory presents for the first time a rose gold variation of the precious timekeeper in a limited edition of 100 pieces worldwide. Situated within the well-known asymmetrical dial visuals of the line, the filigreed carriage makes a special statement.Seeming to float, the perfect, fine tourbillon cage rotates to the beat of the seconds it also displays.Golden hands glide across the yellow gold dial so finely engine-turned by hand in clous de Paris style. The panorama date so characteristic of the company lends the demanding range its name and simultaneously adds the perfect element to complete this masterpiece’s impressive appearance.The flying tourbillon according to Glashütte master watchmaker Alfred Helwig has had a long tradition in the Saxon manufactory and has lost none of its horological importance and fascinating mechanics even in the present day.

Maurice Lacroix Pontos Décentrique GMT Limited Edition

Maurice Lacroix invested in high-quality titanium grade 2 for the 45 mm diameter case and the dial base of the 2x999 pieces limited edition of the Pontos Décentrique.

The hands for both time zones, the index marks for the minutes, the moon symbol as well as the surface under the date indication are coated with Superluminova so that they are easily legible at night. Like all high quality men´s watches the strap is in delicately crafted croco leather or vulcanised rubber and has a titanium clasp.
