Letter from the CEO
Dear Readers, With the closing of a significantly eventful year, we look forward to a new year of dedication and commitment to our valuable community. This is indeed a time like no other in our lives. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to produce uncertainty, stress and trauma throughout our communities. At this time, we have all been impacted by the virus in one way or another, which has been distressing for so many. Despite the challenges we are facing everyday as a result of it, this has also been a time that brought out the best in many people – from the healthcare personnel to those fighting on the frontlines, to those who have worked hard to continue providing the rest of us with the essential products and services we need for our daily lives. This year, our team has fought through many challenges to uphold our promises to our dear community – which has made us exceedingly proud. We faced various struggles early on in the year, with the majority of our branches temporarily shutting down as a result of the governmental preventive measures to slow the spread of the virus, like most other retail businesses have experienced. We are happy to say that we were able to move past this challenging time strong and keen to fulfill our community’s needs and redeem what was lost. We were able to reopen each of our branches, shortly after, with the implementation of the highest safety and preventive measure protocols. We have also sought to provide the entire collections of our world-class timepiece brands, during a time of heavy challenges in global supply chain and logistics. We are now steadily moving forward and shipping more product every month as we adjust to operating in this changed world. Rest assured, we will continue to do everything we can to provide our community with the highest-level service, while prioritizing the health and wellbeing of our employees and clients, as we have always fought to do, taking all the necessary safety measures… We are all in this together. Our sales teams are always here to assist you, and we encourage you to reach out at any time! In the meantime, please stay safe, healthy and proactive in the fight to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and save lives. With respect and gratitude,
Ayman Nassif 2

A RENAISSANCE FOR THE SOPHISTICATED TRAVELER The Swiss watchmaker’s most well-known timepiece has a new, urbane look to keep you elegant while on the move.
Ulysse Nardin has good news for world travelers. The Swiss Manufacture comes with a reworked version of the celebrated Dual Time, a watch for the voyager who spends as much time in the air as he does on the ground. For those constantly on the move and as concerned with knowing the time where they happen to be as well as the time at home, the Ulysse Nardin reworked Dual Time ensures that they won’t miss a minute anywhere. No world timer is easier to use than the UN Dual Time with its patented instant time zone adjustment, invented by Ulysse Nardin in 1994. Whether in the Arctic, the Antarctic or circling the Pacific “Ring of Fire” the Ulysse Nardin Dual Time is a timepiece that will accompany you to the ends of the Earth and back again. From the fjords of Iceland to the North and South Poles and everywhere in between, the Dual Time will ensure that you remember where you are going and, more importantly, the home time where you came from. Between Antarctica (land surrounded by sea) where there has reportedly been no rain for nearly two million years to the Arctic (sea surrounded by land) there is an entire planet with over 24 different time zones. Where will you go next? 6

Elegant and efficient, it has the same case as the Skeleton X with the iconic three-horns signature, and Roman numerals at twelve, three, six and nine o’clock. The date, hour and minutes are complemented by the patented indicator of the Home Time, situated at the nine o’clock marker. The hour hand adjusts forward or backward with the simple touch of the “+” and “-” pushers located opposite the crown and the self-winding movement is visible through the exhibition case back. The dial also features an oversized small seconds hand register at 6 o’clock and a large date in a double window at two o’clock. The case is crafted in either 18 ct rose gold or in stainless steel, depending on the model. Water resistant to 50 meters, each piece has a sapphire case back and is individually numbered. The 2020 Dual Time comes in three versions: steel with a black strap, steel with a blue strap and stunning rose gold. Powered by the UN-24 dual time movement, the functionality of this beauty is easy to master. It features a new oscillating weight with a prominent, encircled UN logo and has a simple pin buckle on the strap. At 42 mm, the refreshed Dual Time is an indispensable touch of elegance the sophisticated traveler will never want to leave without. 7
ALUMINIUM WATCH THE ICON NEVER DIES
The new Bvlgari Aluminium watch reignites the fire lit back in 1998 by the first-generation models. It speaks a universal language that goes far beyond gender, age, trends, social profile and personal style. In 1998, More than 20 years ago Bvlgari presented the most innovative, modernist casual watch made from totally unexpected materials, aluminium and rubber, in a highly graphic combination of black and white. By incorporating unconventional materials, Bvlgari was a pioneer in reinventing the idea of luxury, At first glance, the materials feel out of place, and yet, through a certain alchemy, they are reborn, transformed into luxury pieces through vision and execution. BVLGARI ALUMINIUM: THE WATCH The planet-wide success was epitomised by the livery of an Alitalia Jumbo jet 747, providing a giant backdrop for the watch’s colours. Bvlgari Aluminium was THE watch of the jet set meanwhile it took a unisex dimension that was not usual at that time. The new Bvlgari Aluminium watch is smart and cool, immediately recognisable as part of the Bvlgari DNA. LIMITS: MADE TO BE TRANSGRESSED That is precisely what Bvlgari is all about. Limits are made to be transgressed and conventions exist only to be questioned. Between the two generations of Bvlgari Aluminium watches, the comfort on the wrist got improved. The 2020 versions no longer house a mechatronic-quartz movement but instead a manufactured Bvlgari mechanical self-winding movement. Last, the aluminium alloy is more resistant and the rubber technical features have been improved as well. 8

ADMIRAL BRONZE: AN ODE TO OLD SHIPS
Unveiled in 1960, only five years after the brand’s creation, the Admiral collection embodies Corum’s maritime watchmaking heritage. Although it has always been loyal to its DNA, Corum has never been afraid to set sail for distant shores. That’s the case today with the Admiral 42 Bronze, a timepiece that showcases both a nautical design and watchmaking mechanics. Trendy chic and sporty, the collection features two new models housed in Bronze cases in order to pay tribute to the beauty and strength of the brass material used in old ships.

homogeneous as possible over time, a unique satin-brushed finishing has been done on the entire case including the iconic dodecagonal bezel. Faithful to the nautical roots of the Admiral collection, the model features the 12 pennant-shaped hour markers on the dial. The nautical color palette of navy blue or maritime green dial fit perfectly with the associated colors alligator straps. Equipped with a Corum automatic movement visible through the sapphire case back, the watch features a small second at 6 o’clock and a date at 3 o’clock. Water resistant to 50 meters, the Admiral 42 Bronze is the perfect watch for all sailing afficionados.
SEASTAR 1000 PROFESSIONAL IN-DEPTH EXCELLENCE A STYLISH SUMMER WITH THE TISSOT SUPERSPORT In 2019, the most robust and secure Tissot watch was launched in an uncompromising environment. A limited edition of 1,000, the Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional fully satisfies the criteria of the ISO 6425 standard governing professional diving watches. All the conditions specified by the standard are validated by this all-steel automatic chronograph: it resists a magnetic field of 4,800 A/m and lateral impacts, including on its crowns and push-buttons. It is equipped with a luminescent small second hand and revolving bezel that can be locked into place. Although its water resistance is guaranteed up to 300 metres (or 1,000 feet, the reason behind its name), the ISO 6425 standard demands resistance of up to 375 metres in depth. Challenge accepted!
Patented security
The Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional also has a helium valve at 10 o’clock. It is automatically opened to expel excess air and helium that are trapped in the case and dilated when coming up from a very deep saturation dive. It is integrated into the secondary crown that secures the bezel. Once screwed down, the 60-minute graduated ring is locked into the defined position. This guarantees that the chosen immersion time cannot be inadvertently or accidentally changed during the dive. This combination of functions is unique and protected by a Tissot patent.
Ubiquitous ergonomics
It coordinates with a casual style or a dressier one: the new range of Tissot chronographs suits all your summer activities and outfits. Whether the look you prefer is classic or sporty, the brand offers variations on its models to bring out the best of your unique personality. Imposing and masculine, each timepiece nestles perfectly against the wrist of a man who proudly asserts his style. With a 45.5 mm steel case, the Tissot SuperSport does not go unnoticed. The brand offers the model in several colours, from black PVD to gold PVD, to suit every whim. To add character to the watch, Tissot added a fixed bezel with a tachymetric scale.
18
news
The indexes and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® to make it possible to enjoy long summer evenings while maintaining an easy visibility of the time. The strap adapts to your preferences. Whether you prefer steel or vintage leather, you get to choose your model according to the style you seek. That’s right, Tissot offers you a watch full of character that suits your style and adapts to your whims.
As well as these many precautions, designed to protect the physical safety of divers, Tissot has applied the same rules to the ergonomics of the Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional. The 49 mm diameter case is designed for use in difficult and demanding situations. Its dimensions primarily target resistance to pressure, impacts and any unforeseen circumstances that can arise in the life of professional divers. The case back, push-buttons and crown are screwed down and the latter is protected by a flange. The dial is blue in the centre which shades into black on the edges. On this dark, ocean-themed background, large contrasting skeleton baton hands indicate the hours and minutes. They are abundantly coated with Super-LumiNova ®, the brightest variety of this luminescent material. Super-LumiNova® also adorns the dial indexes and the luminescent dot in the bezel’s triangle. The bezel insert is in black ceramic with metallic graduations. All these features guarantee optimal legibility, even at night and in murky water.
A noble heart
The Tissot Seastar 1000 Professional has been fitted with a self-winding chronograph movement, the Valjoux A05.H21 calibre. It has a small second hand at 9 o’clock and 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph totalisers, at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock respectively. This calibre also indicates the day and date and has a comfortable 60-hour power reserve, rare for a diving watch.

TISSOT T-TOUCH CONNECT SOLAR THE SWISS CONNECTION A direct descendant of the first multifunction tactile watch in history, the Tissot TTouch Connect Solar is charting a new course. The latest generation T-Touch is packed with Tissot’s characteristic watchmaking expertise in all its forms: this Swiss-Made timepiece is connected, securely private, interactive, autonomous, contemporary and long-lasting. Innovators by tradition, Tissot are putting their experience to good use. The long-awaited T-Touch Connect Solar comes from a long line of tactile watches, namely the successive generations of T-Touch since 1999, and as a connected watch it is ahead of its time, just like 2004’s High-T, created in association with Microsoft. By injecting its know-how into the interface between wristwatch and mobile app environment, Tissot has created a connected watch that has a multitude of functions, can be recharged by solar power, and is durable. But it is first and foremost a watch for experiencing and wearing, and with a sophisticated design. Design The T-Touch Connect Solar is first and foremost a watch. Not a gadget, not a “device”, and not a wrist-worn minitablet. Its 47-mm titanium case with an extremely scratchresistant ceramic bezel is ergonomic and displays Tissot’s characteristic attention to detail. Those details include satin-finished surfaces, softened corners, an engraved ceramic bezel, and even a brand new titanium bracelet with links that bear the stamp of a sharp, modern design. In addition, it is water-resistant to 100 metres. It is being launched in several versions with rubber straps or titanium bracelets, and a case in satin-finished titanium, black PVD or rose gold PVD. And these hardwearing materials mean that this watch, unlike the more disposable smartwatches, is naturally protected from obsolescence, especially the built-in obsolescence of electronic products. Functions The T-Touch Connect Solar has the basic functions of a T-Touch Solar Expert, such as a perpetual calendar, countdown, various timekeeping functions and alarms, and meteo and altimeter functions. To these it adds an activity tracker and the opportunities afforded by interaction between the SwALPS operating system, developed specifically for this project, and a smartphone with app notifications and updates. And like every T-Touch, it is controlled via its original defining feature, the tactile sapphire crystal. The T-Touch Connect Solar is a Swiss-Made connected watch. This certification of component origin and workmanship is a guarantee of manufacturing quality and of security. No provider can access data via a component or the operating system. And neither the watch nor its app send data to a third party. 20

TISSOT HERITAGE NAVIGATOR CHRONO AUTO 1973 THE TRUE SPIRIT OF CLASSIC RACING
A year after the overnight success of the first generation of the Tissot Heritage Navigator Chrono Auto 1973, Tissot launches a second series of its barrel-shaped chronograph. Traditionally an innovative brand, Tissot presents this expressive timepiece as part of the partnership that unites Tissot and the Kessel Classics vintage car racing team. This comfortable 43mm piece with high-quality finishes again mingles sports elegance with the neovintage design language. A lineage confirmed by the engine In developing the Tissot Heritage Navigator Chrono Auto 1973, Tissot summoned a model from its archives. Dating back to 1973, the Navigator Chronographe was essential in connecting Tissot with motor-racing. Beginning in 1973, Tissot worked with Alpine, which dominated the rally circuit. In 1974, the brand joined forces with Porsche for the Le Mans 24 hour Gran Turismo race. In 1977, Tissot even gave its name to a F1 racing team. But in particular, the brand forged a very strong bond with the Swiss pilot, Loris Kessel, a Formula 1 competitor in 1976.
22
news
Like many pilots, Loris Kessel was fanatical about engines. He had founded car dealerships in the Tessin area together with a racing division and another division dedicated to classic racing. This network was taken over by his son, Ronnie Kessel. In 2018, Tissot rekindled its partnership with the Kessel family by becoming the official partner of Kessel Classics, which owns Tissot Formula 1. This black-and-yellow car has excelled in competitions like the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, which it won in 2016. A new generation To recognize the 2020 version of the Tissot Heritage Navigator Chrono Auto 1973 at a single glance is as simple as focusing on the minute totalizer of the chronograph, located at 3 o’clock. The section between 0 and 5 minutes is coloured blue, in contrast with the rest of the counter. Indeed, the play on colour between the totalizers, dial and dial edge brings a distinctive visual identity to the Navigator 1973. The first option features black counters against a white dial (the so-called “Panda” effect) surrounded by a black dial edge. The second option has white counters against a black dial (the “Reverse Panda” effect) with a black dial edge. The third and last proposition juxtaposes white counters with a blue dial and a coordinating blue dial edge. An important detail: this second edition is not produced in a limited series.
AN ASSERTIVE STYLE WITH THE TISSOT SUPERSPORT
The new range of Tissot chronographs coordinate with a casual style or a dressier one, classic or sporty. In fact, several versions are available to bring out the unique look of each individual. Demonstrating forthright elegance, each of these imposing masculine timepieces nestle perfectly against the wrist. With a 45.5 mm steel case available in several colours, from black PVD to gold PVD, it will not go unnoticed! Featuring a fixed bezel with a tachymetric scale, the Tissot SuperSport has a great deal of character. The indexes and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® for easy visibility of the time, making this the ideal accessory of men with assertive style. The strap is available in various materials, from steel to vintage leather, to adapt to every look. The result: a watch with a very distinctive allure, perfectly suited to the style and whims of the man who wears it. 23
TISSOT T-MY LADY FINE, STRONG, THE ESSENCE OF WOMAN
The Le Locle-based brand, traditionally unisex by nature, is launching some new, high-quality timepieces for women. The Tissot T-My Lady range provides the vision of the Tissot woman. She is confident of her life choices, committed to an exciting, mindful life and wants to make the most of everything. Aspirational and strong, sophisticated yet tough, she cruises between her home, the office, nights out and an active daily life, just like the Tissot T-My Lady. The new collection, consisting of several quartz models at launch, is dedicated to this complete woman. These watches, with the endurance of steel and, in some versions, the radiance of rose gold, have the simple grace of timeless lines. Every woman The Tissot T-My Lady is not just a feminine watch. Its concept, design and underlying purpose make it the ideal watch for those women – elegant, sophisticated business women – who believe a watch should stand the test of time. Ladies will like its dimensions - 29 mm in diameter - which make it ideal for everyday wear. Elegant women will admire the diamonds on the dial of the automatic version, which give depth, character and warmth to the T-My Lady collection. Sophisticated women will love its mechanical self-winding movement, regulated by a Nivachron spiral with exceptional non-magnetic properties. Businesswomen will be tempted by the dials: blue sunburst, silvered, opaline or anthracite sunburst. 24

The potential of color as a design element Rado about her design partnership with Les CouleursTM Le Corbusier
Color is undoubtedly a strong and important tool in design. The potential of color was redrawn only at the beginning of the 20th century and the functions and effects of color design were redefined. Le Corbusier is one of those who gave paint in construction an essential function. ‘Experience of space’, is a central aspect for many who are aware of the effect of color in design and general architectural color design. Charles Edouard Jeanneret Gris (Le Corbusier’s birth name) was also constantly involved with fine arts, painting, graphics, sculpture and tapestry, as well as colors and color systems. The 63 colors of Le Corbusier and his Architectural Polychromy were chosen so that the desired color effects are simple and negative effects can be ruled out from the outset. Le Corbusier’s color system conveys psychological information with every hue. First introduced in 1931 and extended in 1959, the Le Corbusier colors were identified by the brilliant designer as being eminently architectural, naturally harmonious and able to be combined in any way. It is testament to his pioneering vision that the colors are still used today by architects and designers over the world and are still regarded as relevant and important almost 90 years after they were first introduced.
Last year Swiss watchmaker Rado announced a strategic partnership with Les Couleurs Suisse, the organization exclusively mandated by the Foundation Le Corbusier, to license the great designer’s original palette of architectural colors: Architectural Polychromy.
42
news
Considered the most forward-thinking design player in watchmaking today, Rado is also known as the Master of Materials. The brand has always led the way in creating bold and vibrant colors in high-tech ceramic. Having already perfected the production of 14 colors since it first used hightech ceramic in 1986, Rado is unrivalled as the world leader in high-tech ceramic color milestones.

In the Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart, for instance, bold cutouts in the dial reveal the same H-10 movement beating away. This is a contemporary style that works equally at 42mm on a bracelet, or in more feminine form with a mother-of-pearl dial and diamond-decorated 36mm case. More 48

Built for Adventure For people who like a more rugged, action-ready wristwatch, Hamilton’s Khaki collections are informed by decades of experience creating watches for both military and aviation purposes. The all-black Hamilton Khaki Field King Auto is a stealthy modern take on the original soldier’s watch we produced in World War II. Meanwhile, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Converter is a chronograph for those who love to fly, with a bi-directional, rotating ‘slide-rule’ bezel that enables mathematical calculations in flight. The function can be applied to critical factors like airspeed, distance, fuel consumption, rate of climb or descent and flight time, and can also make various unit conversions including kilometers/nautical miles, pounds/kilograms, feet/meters, or even convert currency for those flying internationally. Iconic Retro Designs Hamilton has been at the forefront of groundbreaking technology and trend-setting design over the decades, as demonstrated by the latest versions of two of our most iconic wristwatches. The retro-futuristic aesthetic of the Hamilton Ventura was first devised in 1957 when we stunned the world by unveiling the very first-ever battery-powered wristwatch. Sported by Elvis Presley himself, and the official watch of the “Men in Black” uniform, the Ventura is a daring unisex timepiece. In 1970, Hamilton changed the world once again with the announcement of the very first digital electronic wristwatch, the Pulsar. That timepiece is now reborn with all its space age-era styling intact in the new Hamilton PSR. With time displayed in red digital numerals on a black screen via LCD and OLED hybrid technology, its charismatic design is just as sought after today. This holiday season give your loved ones a gift they will treasure for a lifetime: a Hamilton watch to match their personal style. 49
OUR BEST ENGINEERING FOR STYLISH PILOTS MAKE CRUCIAL FLIGHT CALCULATIONS VIA THE SLIDE-RULE BEZEL
At Hamilton, we’ve provided the flying community with the precision timepieces they need for over a century, from the first U.S. Airmail service in 1918 to today’s daredevil air racers. With the Khaki Aviation Converter, we’re enabling crucial flying calculations to be performed on the wrist of modern aviators.
watch unaffected by magnetic forces is critical, and by adding this superior balance spring alloy, we ensure precision in any environment. Military pilots’ watches were the first to include anti-magnetic technology that countered the fields generated by radar instruments.
The watch’s distinguishing feature is a bi-directional rotating bezel, whose logarithmic gradations interact with the fixed scale around the dial, creating a ‘slide rule’ enabling mathematical calculations while in flight. This can be applied to critical factors like airspeed, distance, fuel consumption, rate of climb or descent and flight time – in fact, it follows the same principles as the E6B “Whiz Wheel”, a paper flight computer that’s still used widely in pilot training today.
A sleek black dial houses the H-10 automatic movement with 80 hours of power reserve, and is available on a brown and black leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet.
The slide-rule bezel is also handy for carrying out various unit conversions: kilometers/nautical miles, pounds/kilograms, feet/ meters for instance, or currency conversions for those flying internationally. Already a powerful tool, the 42mm automatic version of the Khaki Aviation Converter steps up the game with a balance spring made of NivachronTM alloy, an exclusive new material with superior resistance to magnetic fields. In the cockpit, having a
If you’re looking to add even more function to your Khaki Aviation Converter, choose our 44mm GMT designed with a blue dial and available with brown leather strap or bracelet. Powered by our H-14 movement, it includes 80 hours of power reserve, perfect for the globetrotting adventurer. The Khaki Aviation Converter Automatic Chronograph rounds out the collection with its H-21-Si movement. Using a high-tech silicon balance spring, it negates the powerful magnetic forces found around airplane cockpits and flight decks. The Khaki Aviation Converter is a combination of Swiss engineering and high demanding aviation equipment.
Hamilton extends its range of pilot watches with models that make conversions and calculations easy. As any professional pilot will attest, there is nothing quite like the freedom of flight – bursting through clouds at 10,000 feet, the cockpit flooding with light as you arc upwards into the clear blue sky. But that freedom is based on technical calculations that a true aviator must be able to make with or without the aid of cockpit instruments. 50

A limited-edition exclusive: The rose gold Classic Worldtimer Manufacture
An iconic model from Frederique Constant’s Manufacture, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture has been given an 18-carat rose gold case for the first time, produced in a limited edition of 88 pieces only. For the occasion, this collector’s timepiece features an exclusive, modern dial for the frequent traveller.
delicate balance. It was added to the Maison’s collections some 10 years ago. The balance struck between the technical, aesthetic and practical immediately impressed watch enthusiasts from all over the world. In a few short years, the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture has established itself as one of the most important timepieces by Frederique Constant.
Success is no accident. Achievements made in watchmaking come down to a combination of elements that Frederique Constant has been fine tuning for over 30 years. Element number one: a useful complication. In this regard, the ability to permanently display world time is an undeniable asset for those who travel internationally. Element number two: ease of use. For an everyday watch, everything has been designed so that the latter and its complication can be adjusted quickly and intuitively, without risk of error.
A landmark limited edition The version unveiled today is aimed at discerning collectors. Beyond the balance it embodies, the new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture stands out for its 18-carat rose gold case, with no more than 88 limited edition timepieces on offer. Such preciousness is rare at Frederique Constant. Incidentally, this is the first time in the history of the Manufacture that such a case has been offered for this timepiece.
Element number three: the movement. The part most prized by collectors gains considerable value when stamped “Manufacture”. Frederique Constant, a fully integrated manufacture, has already brought out 29 calibres, all of them developed, produced, assembled and inspected within its workshops. Finally, element number four: design. The simple, classic and timeless design of a timepiece allows it to stand the test of trends and time. Frederique Constant has been synonymous with Swiss Made elegance from the very beginning. A Classic that lives up to its name The new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture illustrates this 54
news
A sophisticated look For this latest version, Frederique Constant has opted for an intense blue dial reminiscent of the ocean and in keeping with the distinguished rose gold case. The continents emerge from the dial in relief, their anthracite grey outlines carved with the greatest precision. The date counter at 6 o’clock is decorated with a sunray guilloché pattern, a traditional finish in Fine Watchmaking. Hovering over it are four hands coordinating with the rose gold; the hour and minute hands and index hour markers are tinged with luminescent material to make them easier to read in low light. Around this miniature world map unfolds the Worldtimer flange, indicating the 24 world time zones and their 24 principal cities. To ensure the dial can be easily read, the 12 daytime hours appear in red, while the 12 night-time hours appear in grey. 55
FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH MANUFACTURE: TWO NEW STYLISH, SPORTY VARIATIONS ON ONE OF THE CULT DESIGNS BY FREDERIQUE CONSTANT
Now, for the third time, and in response to demand from collectors, Frederique Constant presents two new variations on its Flyback Chronograph Manufacture collection. This timepiece, destined for the discerning chronograph enthusiast, was developed, manufactured and assembled in its entirety in-house at the Geneva manufacture. The individuality and intricacy of the collection make it highly desirable among lovers of the chronograph.
56
news
A history rooted in the origins of the chronograph The flyback was one of the first features to be added to the chronograph during the 1930s. A straightforward concept, it allows the chronograph to be stopped, reset and restarted with a single press of the push-piece, rather than three successive presses. And yet this ingenious idea, which comes into its own when timing successive races at sporting events, is underpinned by a truly sophisticated mechanism. While the chronograph’s stop, reset and restart functions were originally controlled by pressing two push-pieces in sequence, in flyback mode, a single press of the push-piece engages all three operations simultaneously.
SMARTWATCH VITALITY: THE 4TH CONNECTED INNOVATION FROM FREDERIQUE CONSTANT
Frederique Constant is proud to introduce its latest connected watch, the Smartwatch Vitality, bursting with technology and featuring a digital dial revealed on demand. In addition to the features that were key to the success of its predecessors, the Smartwatch Vitality embraces a major innovation in the form of a new generation, integrated sensor powered by Philips Wearable Sensing, which can measure the heart rate directly from the wrist. Back in 2015, Frederique Constant unveiled its Horological Smartwatch. More than a new timepiece, it created a new segment within the watchmaking industry. For the very first time, a Swiss manufacture had designed, developed and assembled a watch with a classic Swiss Made aesthetic (analogue dial) endowed with on board intelligence, and powered by a quartz movement supported by a connected
module with two years of autonomy. The Horological Smartwatch was followed by two other developments: The Horological Smartwatch Notify (2016) - based on the same principle, with additional notifications for calls and messages - and the Classic Hybrid Manufacture (2018), the first model to combine a Manufacture movement with intelligent functionalities. Today marks a new chapter in this great saga: The Smartwatch Vitality. A long tradition of innovation As with previous iterations, the Smartwatch Vitality represents a major breakthrough, in line with the continuous innovation championed by Frederique Constant. And yet, at first glance, none of this is visible; once again, the Manufacture has committed itself to a classically elegant and timeless looking watch, but one that harbours the ultimate connected technology… without giving anything away. 57

Featuring Iconic Front Button Design Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced the release of the GST-B300, the latest addition to the G-STEEL line of G-SHOCK shock-resistant watches. The GST-B300 is the first G-STEEL watch with a front button, which adopts a new Carbon Core Guard structure that delivers superior shock resistance by leveraging the lightness and outstanding rigidity of carbon fiber.
