Nestled on the other side of Long Island and strung out across a series of beaches, bays and rows of wooden houses, the Hamptons are the antithesis of New York. While the metropolis is all feverish verticality, urban intensity and a blend of concrete, glass and steel, on the other end of the island, the Hamptons stretch peacefully along the beach in an ocean atmosphere imbued with the traditional feel of New England. People go there for the weekend, to be refreshed, to share good times with family and friends, to do some sport or to enjoy a party. It is this glamorous and festive setting on the Atlantic coast that has lent its name for the past 15 years to the icon watch from Baume & Mercier: Hampton. Embodying a subtle blend of casual chic, the new Hampton collection combines the classicism of an authentic watchmaking tradition with a highly contemporary design. Very much like the dual nature of the places whose name it bears: one foot in the urban and sophisticated Manhattan, and the other in a hedonistic, relaxed beach lifestyle.
HAMPTON (1994-2009) Hampton, the icon watch by Baume & Mercier, is celebrating its 15th birthday in 2009 with a brand-new collection. Created in 1994, the Hampton model overturned existing watchmaking codes with its rectangular steel case, and became an instant best-seller. Inspired by a rectangular pink gold watch introduced by Baume & Mercier in 1960, the Hampton collection has evolved through numerous variations. Whether curved or square, it has always succeeded in preserving its identity, consisting in a blend of watchmaking tradition and contemporary design. INNOVATIVE DESIGN The new Hampton collection features three different identities: Hampton Classic, Hampton Manchette and Hampton Magnum. The Classic design confirms the pure elegance of the original Hampton model, with a redesigned rectangular case featuring flowing, contemporary lines. The Classic watches come in several masculine and feminine versions and new sizes. Femininity and glamour are in the spotlight with the Hampton Manchette, a jewelry-watch embodying the essence of the Hampton spirit. Finally, Hampton Magnum, the sporty, sophisticated variation on this theme, is larger than ever and now enriched with an allwhite feminine version.
profession: pilot career: actor People are acquainted with the star, the multi-faceted actor. But John Travolta is also a seasoned pilot with more than 5,000 flight hours under his belt, and is certified on eight different aircraft, including the Boeing 747-400 Jumbo Jet. He nurtures a passion for everything that embodies the authentic spirit of aviation. Like Breitling wrist instruments. Founded in 1884, Breitling has shared all the finest hours in aeronautical history. Its chronographs meet the highest standards of precision, sturdiness and functionality, and are all equipped with movements that are chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute). One simply does not become an aviation supplier by chance. www.breitling.com

“Swiss made� Parisian watch-making Designed in the studios at 30, Avenue Montaigne and developed by a team of horological experts in the cradle of the worldwide Swiss watch-making industry at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Dior timepieces are fully in keeping with the House of Dior’s logic of excellence.
Automatic 42mm Dior Christal: In discreet tribute to Christian Dior, Dior Christal embodies the sophistication of watch-making that conceives each one of its timepieces like a Couture creation.
Almost as hard as a diamond, saphire crystal is the very quintessence of Dior Christal. Never before has this material, traditionally reserved for watch glass, been used for decorative purposes. Since 2005, Dior Christal, with its sapphire crystal hand-cut and inserted in marquetry style on the bezel and bracelet, has invented a theatre of lights that brings enchantment back to watch-making once again. Radiantly sporting the iconic colours of the House of Dior (red, black, ZKLWH SXUSOHÂŤ DQG ÂżWWHG ZLWK quartz (ETA), automatic (ETA or Zenith) or mechanical handwind movements (“Tourbillonâ€? Concepto calibre), Dior Christal watches, like Dior Couture dresses, are intricately beautiful both inside and out. Thus, Dior Christal teams the excellence of its Swiss Ateliers Horlogers production unit ZLWK WKH UHÂżQHG DXGDFLW\ RI $YHQXH Montaigne. This latest 42mm automatic version on a black sapphire crystal and steel bracelet, with a widened central link in tribute to the famous New Look and its extravagant proportions, exaggerates the GLDPHWHU RI WKH ZDWFKFDVH ZKLOH UHÂżQLQJ LWV thickness.
Since 1911, The Architects of Time have dedicated their talents, passion and creativity to designing and crafting distinctive watches that exercise an enduring fascination.

THE 2009 PANERAI CLASSIC YACHTS CHALLENGE KICKS OFF IN ANTIGUA
2009 marks the fifth annual Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, the largest and most renowned classic yacht race in the world. In 2005, Officine Panerai began sponsoring the yacht racing circuit in the Mediterranean; therefore, in 2006, in recognition of the celebrated history of classic yachting in North America, regattas in the Caribbean and Northeast United States were added to the circuit. The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge is now known for joining classic yacht owners and crews from all corners of the globe. The Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta will kick off the Challenge in mid-April. The 22nd annual festival encompasses four days of racing and memorable festivities. Tropical Antigua’s crystal-clear aqua seas and cloudless skies never fail
to provide idyllic Caribbean sailing conditions. The Mediterranean season opens in early June, with the 14th edition of Les Voiles d’Antibes. Later in June, in Newport, Rhode Island, the fourth annual Robert H. Tiedemann Classic Yachting Weekend will mark the beginning of summer for the scores of classic yacht enthusiasts launching their boats in time for the early summer event. In honor of the late Captain Tiedemann, the event entails two days of racing with evening festivities on the lawn of the picturesque Museum of Yachting. August is the peak of the yachting season in America’s Northeast, and the Nantucket Opera House Cup is, for many, the pinnacle of American wooden boat regattas. Nantucket Island is the place to be in the summer, the locals are renowned for their age-old dedication to the
sport of classic sailing. Beginning with the 12-Metre regatta, Nantucket Race Week concludes with the 37th annual Opera House Cup Regatta. As the New England summer yachting season is winding down, the Museum of Yachting hosts the final event in Newport, Rhode Island - the 30th annual Museum of Yachting Classic Yacht Regatta and Parade. The grand fleet battles it out in Newport Harbor, forming an absolutely stunning
display of classsic yachts. Founded in Florence in 1860, and originally a supplier of highly specialized watches to the Royal Italian Navy, Officine Panerai has always been linked to the world of sea. Further solidifying this connection, in 2006 Officine Panerai aquired the 73ft 1936 Fife ketch Eilean, then sheltered in Antigua. Aligned with Panerai’s mission to preserve seafaring history and impart the timeless value of quality craftmanship, the historically-celebrated, yet dilapidated ketch has since been in the capable hands of the Francesco del Carlo Boatyard in Viareggio, Italy, and the extensive restoration project is nearing completion. The official launch of 72-year old Eilean, is aimed during the second half of the Mediterranean season. With her new lease on life, Eilean will be a working yacht and spend much of the year at sea representing Officine Panerai in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and eventually in the Northeast United States. Eilean is a true classic and will not only be appreciated by enthusiasts, but she promises to educate and promote the values of classic yachting to a wider audience. With the many parallels between classic yachting and the making of Panerai timepieces, skilled yachtsman and classic yachting enthusiasts hold a devotion to Panerai that is unmatched in the industry. The world of traditional sailing, with its wooden vessels and timeless designs supported by the passion of yachting enthusiasts, is united with the values of haute horlogerie, well embodied in
Officine Panerai, the leader and symbol of love for the traditions of the sea. LIMITED EDITION LUMINOR 1950 REGATTA RATTRAPANTE 44MM, DLC
instrument. The watch will be awarded to the overall winner of each regatta. Differing from the 2008 edition, the case, as well as the three buttons, the winding crown and the lever bridge, feature an unusual new design – the steel is blackened with a treatment called DLC (diamond-like-carbon) which allows the metal to be harder and more resistant to corrosion as well as less prone to the scratching and streaking that are commonplace with other metal-burnishing procedure. The Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante has automatic OP XVIII calibre, an automatic movement created exclusively by Panerai.
