Slyde (Titanium)

Slyde (PVD Titanium)

HD3’s Slyde represents the next generation of fine watchmaking. Audaciously daring to place futuristic smartphone-style technology in a fine watch, HD3 has most likely succeeded in bridging the gap between today, tomorrow and yesterday. Though the Slyde’s main function is to tell time, its owner can customize the movement to perform a variety of functions and add complications. Fusing the latest design trends with cutting-edge electronic technology, the Slyde is about to revolutionize our time. In a 47.71 x 57.84 mm titanium case, it retails for $7,295.

The Slyde is operated in a user-friendly manner with the same sort of touch screen available on much electronic machinery today. The biggest difference between these industrial-quality screens and the Slyde’s is found in the material: this fine timepiece is protected by a sapphire crystal like any other fine watch. The innovatively curved sapphire crystal—here highly sensitive to the touch and able to “slide” the watch’s various functions—is the second-hardest substance on earth after diamond. In a black PVD-coated titanium case, the Slyde costs $7,695.

Slyde (Black Stainless Steel and Rose Gold)

Slyde (Rose Gold)

The status of the high-tech lithium polymer battery is shown via power reserve lighting reminiscent of a laptop on the side of the blackened stainless steel and rose gold case, at approximately 2 o’clock. The case back of the Slyde boasts a USB socket for connecting the timepiece to a PC, Mac or wall socket for charging or for downloading and communication with the website. All the technology contained in the Slyde, including its electronic movement, is internationally patented—and unique ($15,295).

In addition to being extremely aesthetic in a sober, no-frills way, this next-generation luxury timepiece is highly functional and can also store pictures and other information. The owner can also download modules from the brand’s Internet site allowing him or her to customize how the time is displayed among other things. One version of this Swiss made, ultra-modern timepiece comes in a solid 18-karat rose gold case, which can be set with high-quality diamonds upon request. Without diamonds this version retails for $48,000.

On the cover: The name of the Ulysse Nardin El Toro references the design of this deliciously complicated wristwatch: the dial covering the visible base plate is reminiscent of a bull’s horns. It hosts the displays of the watch’s perpetual calendar functions: date, weekday, month, (leap) year, and 24-hour second time zone indication— uniquely adjustable both forward and backward. It is available in a limited edition of 500 pieces in platinum for $65,000.

Ball Watch

BMW M6 Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster Orbital

Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster X LUME

Webster Clay Ball, or Webb C. Ball as he preferred to be known, was a central figure of the American pocket watch and ensuing wristwatch industry around the turn of the century. The modern brand’s timepieces are well-priced tributes containing automatic Swiss movements. This chronograph with second time zone in a 45 mm titanium case also boasts 53 micro gas tubes on the dial and rotating bezel for excellent night reading. It retails for $5,499 on a steel bracelet and $5,399 on a rubber strap.

Another American pioneer is associated with the newest addition to the Engineer family: engineer and navy aviator Brian Binnie flew the 2004 flight of SpaceShipOne, the first privately constructed manned spacecraft. Reengineered to match the audacity of the feat, this 41.5 mm stainless steel daydate timepiece powered by a Swiss automatic C.O.S.C.-certified movement boasts 80 iceblue and yellow micro gas tubes as well as bright blue luminescent material for excellent legibility under every lighting condition. $3,399 on a steel bracelet and $3,299 on rubber.

Engineer Master II Diver FreeFall

Engineer II Red Label 40mm COSC

The “Ball Explorers Club” welcomed French free diver Guillaume Néry in 2006 as an ambassador. This diver’s chronograph in a limited edition of 500 pieces boasts a striking, streamlined character for excellent legibility. Water resistance of 300 meters and a unidirectional inner rotating ring turned via the crown help keep the diver safe in the water. A Swiss automatic chronograph movement within a 43.8 mm stainless steel case brightened by 25 micro gas tubes make this sporty model a real treasure ($3,399).

Ball Jewelry Store and the Webb C. Ball Company were established in Cleveland, Ohio in 1879. Legend has it that Ball also imported the first chronometer to Ohio, which he put on display in his store window. The Engineer II Red Label, a 40 mm stainless steel timepiece, is outfitted with a C.O.S.C.-certified automatic Swiss movement, which means that an independent Swiss organization has tested it for accuracy. With 15 micro gas tubes, it remains elegant night and day. Available on both steel and crocodile, it costs $2,599.

Bell & Ross

Aston Martin DBS Volante

BR01-92 Ceramic

BR03-92 Blue Ceramic

In 2005, Bell & Ross produced a modern timepiece for pilots and fans of aviation alike: the BR 01 Instrument, representing the company’s well-conceived idea to turn a plane’s cockpit instrument into a wristwatch. The BR 01 Instrument was inspired by the clearly legible instrument panel gauges in the cockpits of airplanes. This optimally legible 46 mm automatic timepiece is now available in non-scratching, high-tech ceramic. Lighter than steel, it is also less susceptible to wear and tear—even in this highly polished state. On a rubber strap, it retails for $4,900, and $5,200 on alligator skin.

Continuing the high-tech use of ceramic, the BR03-92 Blue Ceramic is, well, blue, but it is also subtle, as the ceramic is not polished in this case, but matte. The markers, figures and hands found on the black dial are coated with a photo luminescent substance that enables equal legibility both day and night. An automatic timepiece waterresistant to a full 100 meters, it is available in a 42 mm case on a rubber strap for $4,500.

BR01-94 Carbon Fiber Phantom

BR02-92 Phantom

The design of this “phantom” watch is inspired by stealth bombers: it is subtle, yet never totally invisible. Matte and anti-reflective, the dial of this timepiece and its coating of photo luminescent substance on the hands, numerals, and markers combines with a total carbon fiber look for ultimate style. An automatic chronograph with date, it is water-resistant to 100 meters and comes in a 46 mm carbon fiber case and on a carbon fiber strap. Limited to just 500 pieces, it retails for $9,900.

Though Bell & Ross is better known for its aviation-inspired timepieces, the brand’s BRO2-92 is a professional diving instrument water-resistant to 1,000 meters and thus able to dive deeper than the human wrist it is attached to. A decompression valve allows helium to escape from the inside of the case during deep dives. Photo-luminescent coating and a 60-minute graduated unidirectionally rotating inner bezel help keep track of dive times. A 44 mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case and a rubber strap round out the instrument priced at $4,000.

Patravi EvoTec DayDate

Patravi TravelTec GMT

The Patravi EvoTec DayDate’s 44 x 44.5 mm case is crafted in stainless steel with a molded rubber bezel and screw-down crown. Stylish strap lugs and crown protection enhance the look while an elegant anthracitegrey and black dial entertains distinctive skeletonized, luminous hands counting the passing hours and minutes. The large sapphire crystal window on the case back is perfect for peering at the automatic manufacture movement, which powers the time, subsidiary seconds, the day of the week, and a very large double-digit date ($13,900).

Carl F. Bucherer’s ambitious Patravi TravelTec GMT displays three time zones, two of which are located on rotating rings encircling the dial. The main hour hand can be set forward and backward in increments of exactly one hour. When the time is set backward, the date is automatically adjusted in the same direction. This big, bold 46.5-millimeter automatic stainless steel timepiece retailing for $10,900, which also includes a chronograph, was created with world travelers in mind. A rose gold version is also available.

Patravi T-Graph

Patravi ChronoDate Annual Calendar

Carl F. Bucherer’s Patravi T-Graph distinguishes itself from other models in the brand’s collection at a visual level with its original barrelshaped 39 x 42 mm stainless steel case, a shape known as tonneau in watchmaking (tonneau is French for “barrel”). The automatic watch’s individual complications also make an optical statement: the power reserve indicator found at 6 o’clock simultaneously serves as the subsidiary seconds display. Another interesting focal point of this chronograph is the large date located at 12 o’clock on the blue dial ($8,000).

Carl F. Bucherer’s timepieces often exude an aura of timeless, classical sovereignty as a stylistic element: this dial demonstrates that time is not merely a question of counting the hours. Housed in a 42 mm 18-karat rose gold case, the ChronoDate’s automatic movement provides the power for a chronograph, a large date and an annual calendar—which automatically recognizes the lengths of all the months except February, thus requiring no manual correction eleven months of the year. For $24,500, it comes on a hand-stitched Louisiana alligator skin strap.

The Big Time GRAND “ From Zero to WOW in under 2 Seconds ”

Curtis & Co.

Ferrari 458 Italia

Big Time GRAND

Big Time COOL

Curtis was always interested in watches. His friends told him they wished for timepieces with elements that could be described as “American style.” Curtis knew what they meant, and their desire melded with his own. This double time zone timepiece is powered by two Swiss made quartz movements, one of which includes a chronograph for stopwatch functions. They are housed in a uniquely shaped stainless steel case with brown ionic plating and secured by a genuine crocodile skin strap for $2,980.

Curtis’s fascination with wristwatches actually began as a boy, and as he matured and his other businesses became more successful, he began to collect important wristwatches. It wasn’t long before Curtis wanted to make his own timepieces based on the knowledge he had acquired and inspiration garnered over the years. This 54 mm stainless steel timekeeper is powered by a Swiss quartz movement displaying the time and date. Because fun is the order of the day here, Big Time COOL comes with interchangeable leather straps in a variety of colors ($1,080).

Big Time WORLD 50mm

Big Time WORLD 57mm

When his first prototypes were ready, Curtis gave them to his friends to wear, but they never wanted to give them back. Now in business for about four years, Curtis & Co. has achieved a signature look that makes these watches recognizable at any distance—particularly true of the WORLD models, which boast several time zones. Swiss quartz movements are housed within a 50 mm high-polished circle of stainless steel to provide the hours and minutes in three time zones coming with interchangeable straps including carbon fiber and colorful leather to match the dial ($1,430).

The case size Curtis chose to house his watches has helped make them recognizable. Though the 54 mm size may be the company’s core product, it’s the 57 mm size that established the brand as Curtis explains. Both of these sizes far exceed any type of “norm” in the watch industry, making these timepieces eye-catchers on any wrist. This size is also perfect for housing four time zones powered by Swiss quartz movements as this model dutifully exemplifies. In polished stainless steel with interchangeable straps it retails for $1,580.

Fortis

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

B-47 Big Steel

Spacematic

The focal point of Fortis’s B-47 Big Steel is its unusual unidirectionally rotating wave-like jagged bezel outfitted with a 60-minute scale and semi-circular rubber inlay, which protects the brushed stainless steel case. The day-date disk of the automatic movement shimmers through the generously hollow hands—which are luminous, as are the numerals—as well as the whole matte black transparent dial. This limited edition of 2,012 pieces, a highlight of the brand’s one-hundredth anniversary models, retails for $3,850.

Functionality and clear legibility are the main features of the automatic Spacematic line. A microsandblasted stainless steel case houses a very special dial: fully coated with luminous material, this white dial with black numerals and indices offers a blue afterglow under adverse lighting conditions. The name of this line displaying the date and day of the week alludes to the Swiss brand’s commitment to quality timekeeping in space: Fortis is the official watch of the Russian space program. On a textile strap, this limited edition timepiece costs $1,425.

Flieger Chronograph

B-42 Marinemaster

First introduced in the 1980s, this classic automatic pilotstyle chronograph helped propel the resurgence of mechanical aviation timepieces in that decade. In a 40 mm stainless steel case, its white dial—otherwise remarkably classic—displays an interesting feature: the chapter rings of the chronograph totalizer subdials are a vibrant blue, one of the elements that differentiates this limited edition of 500 pieces from its unlimited counterpart. Water-resistant to 100 meters and individually numbered, it retails for $4,275.

Originating in the 1940s, this diver’s watch is outfitted with some decidedly modern updates: not only is it waterresistant to 200 meters, it also possesses a screw-in crown that has been tested under extreme, pressurized situations. This 42 mm stainless steel limited edition anniversary edition features an automatic chronograph with day-date display and Fortis’s own alarm. A broadly fluted rotating bezel with luminous reference marker helps divers keep track of time. On an orange or black rubber strap, this timepiece costs $12,525.

Gergé

Ferrari California

Type-M2

Type GM1 The design of the GM Giovanna series has its roots in the sleek, bold design of a luxury sports car. The Type GM1’s 45 millimeter case design is distinguished by a fifteen-piece construction whose lugs are expressively architectural and whose bezel is crafted in black ceramic. The dial, which also displays a day-date window, is decorated with a traditional Swiss côtes de Genève pattern, enhancing the architectural feel. Limited to 288 pieces, the GM1 Giovanna edition in black PVD-coated stainless steel model pictured retails for $3,890.

Visible beneath the antireflective sapphire crystal, the Type-M2’s dial is an exercise in order and simplicity. The chronograph totalizers are clearly identifiable thanks in great part to the polish used, which is different than the main dial’s côtes de Genève: “restrained sophistication” is an apt description for this line’s design. Powered by a most reliable Swiss chronograph movement, the Type-M2 in a 45 mm stainless steel case on an alligator skin strap in a limited edition of 188 pieces retails for $3,890, while titanium goes for $3,990.

Type M3

Type GM3

Before chronographs as we know them had two buttons controlling the start, stop and reset functions, they generally had only one button to perform all three of these tasks. Today, this type of chronograph is known as a “monopusher” chronograph. Gergé’s Type M3 is not only a monopusher chronograph with date, it is chronometer-certified, which means that an independent Swiss entity tested and approved its accuracy. In an 88-piece limited edition housed in a 45-millimeter titanium case it can be purchased for $7,500.

This limited edition monopusher chronograph exudes an extreme amount of both restrained power under the hood and purity of design lines. Urban, architectural and sophisticated all at the same time, the “Giovanna” edition of the Type M3 is characterized by a black ceramic bezel in addition to black PVD coating on the 45-millimeter titanium case. Limited to just 88 pieces for 88 lucky people, this automatic Swiss made watch retails for $8,800—lucky numbers indeed.

Chronofighter Oversize GMT

Chronofighter Fortress

Englishman George Graham (1673-1751) was one of the leading watchmakers of his day, inventing groundbreaking improvements for pocket watches. He also worked on chronograph technology, which is why the modern company bearing his name concentrates on this wristwatch style. This oversized wristwatch features the brand’s hallmark crown with “fast-action” trigger release on the left side, making the 47 mm PVD-coated stainless steel automatic chronograph a real eye-catcher. On an integrated black rubber, calfskin or crocodile skin strap, it retails for $11,880.

Graham’s affinity toward massive chronographs with conspicuous buttons and crowns continues in the Chronofighter Fortress, whose style harks back to fighter pilots of the 1940s. These pioneering souls wore pocket watches strapped to their thighs for greater legibility and easier maneuvering—which could be the difference between life and death. Retailing for $9,275, this chronograph’s vintage look is offset by a modern 43 mm stainless steel case and an automatic Swiss movement. The trigger lever on the left controls the chronograph’s start-stop-reset functions.

Jorg Gray

Alex Tagliani's IndyCar #77

6300-32

3700-31 Jorg Gray was founded in 1998. Before striking out with affordable wristwatches, this U.S. company specialized in private label timepieces. The black chronograph with tachymeter scale pictured is powered by a Swiss quartz movement able to display 1/10th of a second in the subdial at 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock. Coming in a solid black-plated 45 mm stainless steel case, the luminous red-tipped hands promise great legibility. Water-resistant to 100 meters and coming with an Italian leather strap, it retails for $795.

Jorg Gray received national attention as being the brand of President Barack Obama; good to know that even the president appreciates affordable timepieces. Sporting a quartz calendar movement, this 41mm black solid stainless steel model with carbon fiber dial boasts luminous-tipped hands for grand legibility of the time, day, date, month, and second time zone. Water-resistant to 50 meters and completed by a sapphire-coated mineral crystal, it can be purchased for $795.

9100-77

9800-14

March marked the month that Jorg Gray retained Indy Car race driver Alex Tagliani as its ambassador. This limited edition watch in his honor looks just as quick as Tagliani on the wrist with its Swiss quartz chronograph movement, perfect for taking lap times. In a 45 mm solid stainless steel case and bracelet in alternating natural color and black, its textured dial with luminous markers and red elements stands out. Water-resistant to 100 meters, its bracelet is outfitted with a safety clasp ($995).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;His allegiance to his sport mirrors our commitment to providing quality timepieces that make a statement,â&#x20AC;? Jorg Gray president Trevor Gnesin said of Indy Car driver and Jorg Gray ambassador Alex Tagliani. This quartz chronograph with day-date function also makes a statement: housed in a 45 mm solid stainless steel case with black and rose gold plating, it also features a solid steel rotating bezel with luminous dots and an attractive dial with applied chronograph chapter rings. Water-resistant to 100 meters, its steel bracelet also comes with a safety clasp ($995).

Kobold

Land Rover Defender

Phantom Black Ops Chronograph

Phantom Tactical Chronograph

Designed in collaboration with the U.S. Navy SEALs as a military tool watch, Kobold’s automatic Phantom Black Ops boasts a high-contrast dial to specifically reduce the clutter usually associated with chronographs— resulting in a non-ambiguous ability to tell the time at a glance. This is especially useful when synching platoon watches during coordinated combat missions. The crown and buttons are ergonomically placed on the left side of the 41.3 mm case, and a black DLC coating ensures that the U.S.-made stainless steel case blends in perfectly during nocturnal missions ($5,750).

When a team of SWAT sharpshooters approached Kobold with the idea of a special watch, the young American company created the Phantom Tactical without hesitation. Its highly legible chronograph hands are designed for use during synchronized sniping missions (when two or more sharpshooters focus on the takedown of a single target). As sharpshooters are always keen on keeping a low profile, the automatic Phantom Tactical has a black DLC-coated 41 mm case. The matte black dial and anti-reflective sapphire crystal practically eliminate the reflection of light ($5,250).

Sir Ernest Shackleton Automatic

Seal

Kobold, whose roots are in the field of polar exploration, pays tribute to one of the exploration community’s brightest historical stars with this automatic watch: Sir Ernest Shackleton. The 44 mm stainless steel case of this eponymous timepiece is 100 percent U.S.-made and houses Kobold’s in-house automatic K.2651 movement. The Shackleton’s main design feature is its large, peach-colored dial boasting a sterling silver minute track and Arabic numerals for a retro look reminiscent of the watch dials prevalent during the golden age of exploration ($5,350).

Actor and Kobold client James Gandolfini was keen to design a watch that would be more suitable for a man of his stature. Essentially a large automatic diver’s watch, the 44 mm timepiece is water-resistant to 1,000 meters. A soft iron inner case eliminates the effects of magnetism, and its dial is protected by an extrathick, domed sapphire crystal. The Seal became legendary thanks to Kobold’s unorthodox advertisement in which Gandolfini wears the watch while flipping the “bird” at the camera. The headline: “Even James Gandolfini thinks Kobold is No.1!” ($5,450)

Roger Dubuis

Aston Martin V12 Zagato

Excalibur Double Tourbillon Skeleton

Excalibur Automatic Tourbillon

In addition to two tourbillons, this manually wound masterpiece boasts another unique element: complete transparency of the movement. The base plate of this masterpiece has been uniquely designed for maximum stability and simultaneous diaphaneity. Precision beveling done by hand to make the edges crisp and other handcrafted movement embellishment complete the mechanical illusion, making for a most fascinating timepiece. Limited to 88 pieces in a white gold 45-millimeter case on a black alligator skin strap, this watch is even water-resistant to 50 meters ($250,000).

This timepiece is typical Roger Dubuis: the large Roman numerals interrupted by cutaways allow the wearer to observe the fascinating revolutions of the tourbillon and—uniquely— the perpetual motion of the micro rotor winding the automatic movement using the kinetic motion of the wearer’s wrist. Generally, the latter is reserved only for the wearer on the back of the watch; placing it on the front requires some mechanical doing, but the effort is worth it. In a 45-millimeter rose gold case limited to 88 pieces, it retails for $149,000.

This 44-millimeter stainless steel chronograph is anything but a run-of-the-mill stopwatch. For one, it is automatically wound by a platinum micro rotor, and for another it is stamped with the Seal of Geneva. This prestigious seal given by the city of Geneva is awarded only to Genevan brands whose movements meet a host of quality criteria; the rare seal has been awarded to all of Roger Dubuis’s movements. This unlimited new chronograph with automatic winding by micro rotor retails for $24,200.

In 2011, Roger Dubuis introduced a highly contemporary new line, one that is set to convey the excitement of a Monte Carlo casino. The “Monegasque” collection—“Monegasque” being the French adjective describing a resident of Monaco—features a new 44-millimeter case shape with rounded corners, just perfect to house the perpetual calendar with moon phases added to the automatic movement. This type of calendar automatically recognizes the length of each month and will remain accurate until the year 2100. In rose gold, it can be purchased for $62,900.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Extended Wheelbase Natural Fancy Intense Yellow Diamond

Argyle Natural Fancy Pink Diamond

Often referred to as “canary diamonds,” fancy yellows are some of the most fashionable natural stones available today. These elegant rarities are proudly worn by celebrities: iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor―famous for both legendary movies such as Cleopatra and her incredible jewelry collection―owned two brilliant-cut 40-carat canary diamonds. Socialite Paris Hilton received a 24-carat canary diamond worth $5 million for her 2009 engagement. Fancy color diamonds are not only for the rich and famous. The Diamond Market offers natural intense yellow stones beginning at just $8,000.

In November 2010, a London jeweler purchased a 24.78carat fancy intense pink diamond at a Sotheby’s auction for more than $46 million, making it the single most expensive piece of jewelry ever sold at auction. A sharp increase in the value of fancy pink diamonds may be expected as the Argyle Mine prepares to cease operations in the next 5 to 10 years, an announcement that has fueled global demand for these precious gemstones. The Diamond Market presents natural fancy pink stones beginning at just $10,000.

Natural Fancy Orange Diamond

Argyle Natural Fancy Red Diamond

The majority of fancy orange diamonds contain additional yellow or brown hues that uniquely express their radiance, yet detract from color purity—color being one of the four Cs that diamond buyers should generally heed. Fancy yellowish-orange and brownish-orange diamonds usually possess deep tones and strong saturation. “Pumpkin diamonds,” a term used for fancy orange diamonds, are rare and cherished: their high demand is met with an almost nonexistent supply. The Diamond Market offers natural fancy orange stones beginning at just $20,000

Red diamonds are the rarest and most exotic of all diamonds. No surprise: they are also the most expensive and most desired. In fact, natural red diamonds are so rare that most jewelers have never seen one. Experts currently predict that red diamonds will become even rarer, resulting in prices expected to double over the course of the next 3 to 4 years. The Diamond Market presents natural fancy red stones beginning at $45,000.

Grand Classic Black PR

Grand Classic Black UTC

Tutima’s Grand Classic line was released in 2007 in honor of the brand’s eightieth anniversary. The latest evolution of this contemporarily styled pilot’s watch is the 43 mm Grand Classic Black: all the stainless steel parts such as the case, bracelet and clasp are crafted in a steel that undergoes a PVD process that not only turns it a deep black, but hardens it to 2,000 Vickers—aiding in keeping it unscratched. This automatic chronograph with power reserve display and gorgeous red dial retails for (as shown) $4,100. On bracelet $4,700.

Professional chronographs are Tutima’s livelihood, and the German company now based in Glashütte delivers the reliability that has earned the trust of pilots all over the world. The 43.9 mm Grand Classic Black UTC is the perfect choice for tough assignments: the stainless steel case, bracelet and clasp have all been toughened in a special process and subsequently given a black PVD coating. The hardened basis ensures that the PVD coating is long-lasting and largely scratch-resistant. This two-time-zone automatic chronograph sports watch is available for $4,600.

Grand Classic Chronograph

Pacific

The Grand Classic Edition, launched to celebrate Tutima’s eightieth anniversary, is a contemporary tribute to the original legendary Flieger Chronograph of 1941. Typical features include its characteristically designed coin-edge rotating bezel with striking red marker. With a case diameter of 43.5 mm, each Grand Classic is an extralarge piece of history. Its exhibition case back reveals a view of the automatic Swiss chronograph movement. A water-resistant leather strap with nostalgic rivets completes the $3,200 ensemble.

Tutima’s history began with aviation, and the German brand’s most classic models to this day revolve around piloting. While the automatic day-date stainless steel Pacific model ($1,350) is water-related—and indeed it can well be used for diving thanks to its rotating bezel with 60-minute diver’s scale and double-sealed screw-in crown—its name may also be referring to the Pacific coast, which one of the world’s most famous pilots calls his home: Sean D. Tucker, head of the Tutima Academy of Aviation Safety. Both are located in King City, California.

Classico 47 1001

U-42 Chrono Gold

Symbolic of both the 1,001 piece limitation of each color (blue and orange) as well as its water resistance of 1,001 meters, this timepiece unveiled in 2011 is called the Classico 47 1001. In a size that could be called slightly reduced for U-Boat, the stainless steel Classico 1001 boasts a diameter of 47 mm and pays tribute to founder Italo Fontana’s passion for diving. A bold, clear, technical design combined with an automatic Swiss movement and large crown on the left side of the case combine to make this timepiece extremely user-friendly. A helium escape valve ensures it is a real instrument for divers ($5,100).

The U-42 is based on a watch developed by founder Italo Fontana’s grandfather for the Italian Navy. In 2010, Fontana unveiled the 999-piece limited edition U-42, a “scaled down” U-Boat model 53 mm in diameter, and in 2011 he introduced the 99-piece automatic chronograph version 47 mm in diameter. A lever on the right side of the 18-karat rose gold case can lock the bidirectionally rotating bezel with a lever and be fixed in place by three screws encapsulated in the case back. A handmade black alligator skin strap completes the water-resistant $17,000 timepiece.

U-51 46mm Chimera

U-51 Chrono Gold Arrow

This automatic chronograph with date display is housed in a 46 mm stainless steel case characterized by a large crown protection, locking lever and buttons on the left side. The bezel and case back are locked together by external tubing and a customized key that ensures absolute water-resistance of 50 meters. The dial comprises two superimposed parts, while the hour and minute markers are treated with SuperLuminova. In a limited edition of 300 pieces on a handmade black alligator skin strap, it retails for $7,500.

In a new version of the U-51 Rattrapante, founder and designer Italo Fontana plays with the small gold details across the width and length of the colossal 51 mm jet black DLC-coated stainless steel case―including the impressive 18-karat yellow gold cup crown and pushers frame (which extend the diameter to 59.6 mm) on the left side of the case. An automatic chronograph in a limited edition of only 99 pieces, this gargantuan timepiece is perfectly U-Boat in its outrageous and stately style ($20,000).

Black Surf

El Toro Spanish for “the bull,” El Toro’s deliciously complicated dial features the outline of a bull’s horns hosting the timepiece’s automatic perpetual calendar functions: large date, weekday, month, (leap) year, and 24-hour second time zone indication—uniquely adjustable both forward and backward. The perpetual part of the calendar means that as long as the automatic watch stays wound, the wearer will not have to adjust any of the displays until 2100. A limited edition of 500 pieces, El Toro comes in a 43 mm platinum case ($65,500) with a ceramic bezel.

The automatic Black Surf is an officially certified chronometer, meaning it is so precise that is has earned a special certificate after being tested by an independent official agency in Switzerland. Visually, it sets itself apart from the rest of Ulysse Nardin’s collection with its appealing black-androse-gold color scheme: the black dial with typical wave pattern featuring subsidiary seconds and a power reserve display and black rotating bezel contrasts aesthetically with the 42.7 mm 18-karat rose gold case. On a rubber strap it retails for $26,500.

Freak Diavolo

Executive Lady

For many enthusiasts of fine watchmaking, The Freak represents a new era thanks to its new technologies and innovative style. The Freak Diavolo is its most recent evolution: retailing for $153,500, it contains a one-minute flying tourbillon placed on the end of the “hand” comprising a carrousel-style tourbillon. The escapement and hairspring of the Freak Diavolo are made of silicon—a material that Ulysse Nardin has pioneered in horology. This manually wound timepiece with eight days’ power reserve comes in a white gold 44.5 mm case.

This stylish automatic timepiece has everything a styleand quality-conscious woman could want: an automatic movement, a contemporarily sized 40 mm stainless steel case, 1.74 ct diamonds on the dial and case, and a supple white rubber strap. In addition to the time, the Executive Lady displays a large date and a second time zone easily adjusted both backward and forward by the buttons at 8 and 10 o’clock. In the season’s hot colors—purple and white—this individually numbered timepiece retails for $19,900.

Cuervo y Sobrinos

1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce

Torpedo Chronograph Pulsometer

Robusto Manjuari 1882

Tobacco and cigars, typical products of this brand’s original Cuban home, play an important role in these watches’ identity, and the Torpedo is one of Cuervo y Sobrinos’s bestsellers. Named for a cigar style, this automatic chronograph also displays tachymeter and pulsometer scales on the dial; the former can be used to calculate speed or distance and the latter pulse rates. In a 44 mm stainless steel case on an alligator skin strap, it retails for $6,200.

The inspiration for this diver’s watch originates in the Caribbean island: the Manjuari is a rare and unusual prehistoric fish that was native to Cuba and is still regarded with affectionate respect. Not surprisingly, its spectacular shape resembling a crocodile is engraved on Cuba’s one-peso coin; the same engraving is to be found on the case back of this automatic wristwatch also featuring a second time zone. Housed in a 43 mm stainless steel and titanium case with a rubber bezel on a rubber strap, it retails for $6,200 and $7,000 on a steel bracelet.

Historiador Retrogrado

Esplendidos 1882

The unique shape of the Historiador Retrogrado’s case and lugs in addition to the double curve of the sapphire crystal definitively awaken nostalgic memories of the 1940s—the heyday of the Cuban brand in Havana. The interesting dial displays a number of functions that go above and beyond simply telling the time: the day at 9 o’clock and the power reserve at 6 o’clock balance out the retrograde display of the date along the left side of the dial in the 40 mm stainless steel case ($5,200).

The Esplendidos 1882 case’s tailored shape reminds one of the immense popularity of the “hourglass” models of the 1940s. With a length of 47 mm including lugs and a width of 32.5 mm at the narrowest spot of the “hourglass,” this stainless steel watch is anything but delicate even though its long lugs have the leather strap comfortably hug even the smallest of wrists. Named for a cigar shape and the founding year of Cuervo y Sobrinos, this automatic timepiece now boasts a tobacco-colored dial ($4,400).
