Longines Master Collection Retrograde Moon Phases

This abundant array of displays are presented on a barleycorn guillochéd dial which looks particularly sharp in the black dial option.Longines present a new piece, the Longines Master Collection Retrograde Moon Phases.  If you enjoy a bit of dial action this one has it all – six hands, four of which are slender retrogrades fluttering like flirty blue eyelashes, to these add two apertures for the moonphase and day/night indicators and you have one of the busiest dials unveiled at BaselWorld 2011. On the right is the calendar, on the left is a 24 hour second time zone with the small seconds retrograde down at the bottom. 
 The Longines Master Collection Retrograde Moon Phases watch features a classically rounded stainless steel case available in two sizes, 41mm or 44mm with brown or black alligator leather strap options.
The piece uses a new movement the automatic L701.2 Calibre with 46 hours of power reserve, which for the first time adds a day/night indicator – you’ll find it tucked in beneath the retrograde day of the week display at the top.

Hublot King Power Alinghi Limited Edition watch

The Hublot King Power Alinghi Limited Edition

Present at the launch, and recipient of piece number 1, was Ernesto Bertarelli, President of the successful Alinghi team  who later this year will defend the Americas Cup for Switzerland against US challengers Team BMW Oracle Racing in the 33rd running of the famous yacht race.

The Hublot King Power Alinghi

The new Hublot Big Bang King Power Alinghi is striking in that it’s part-skeletonised dial – beneath which beats the new in-house Hublot UNICO Calibre movement – leaves the impression that the chronograph counters appear to ‘hover’ independently between crystal and dial, a feature which is exacerbated by the Alinghi motif at the 9 o’clock position.
While it is always interesting to see the launch of new a piece, whether it is to one’s taste or otherwise, this occasion was significant in that it represented the beginning of a new era for both Team Alinghi and the Hublot brand, for previously the Alinghi name was closely associated with Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Offshore editions, a relationship which expired along with it’s contracts mid 2009.

With the signature pieces from both watchmakers being so competitively poised in adversity, one imagines that when the opportunity came around for JC Biver’s Hublot brand to pick up the torch left behind by Audemars Piguet, that he moved in fairly quickly (as is his way).

Indeed the deal was agreed in outline within 24 hours of Biver and Bertarelli discussing the potential at the unveiling of the Alinghi 5 catamaran last year.

Hublot Big Bang in Red A special for St Valentine’s day

The watch features a quartz movement whose functions are; hours, minutes and seconds.
Featured on the Hublot site under ‘Novelties’, the Big Bang in Red further underlines the company’s fun, funky  – and no doubt opportunistic – approach to it’s place among watchmakers with it’s eye on the more youthful, sporty and funloving client.

Specially manufactured for St Valentine’s Day 2010, (and don’t forget it’s February 14th!)  the new piece is somewhat of a departure from the ‘typical’ Big Bang in that it is aimed (like Cupid’s arrow) directly at the fairer sex or the male collector whose sweetheart may be feeling a little overlooked in the watch department and whose conscience is pulling at his heartstrings.The Hublot Big Bang in Red edition should surely tick that box. In keeping with the company’s Art of Fusion ethos, it is produced in a white ceramic and red composite resin 38mm case on a red alligator and natural rubber strap it is a dazzling affair indeed with it’s 126 diamonds on the steel bezel in particular catching the eye.

Basel 2012 Linde Werdelin Oktopus II Double Date

Much like Linde Werdelin’s other dive watches, the Oktopus II Double Date can be used as a platform for their Reef dive computer and this functionality explains the lack of a dive bezel on the Double Date as the Reef add-on can track this sort of data.

As frequent desk-divers, we think a dive watch should always have a countdown bezel as their usefulness extends well beyond the borders of the underwater world.

After the success of the very cool SpidoSpeed and SpidoLite series, it’s not at all surprising to see Linde Werdelin commanding big luxury prices as their designs have been very well received in the market and the Oktopus II Double Date looks to be an interesting and unique addition to their line up.

This new model will be available later this year and each of the three variations carry luxury price tags, the titanium/ceramic model will cost CHF 8800 (~$9700) with the DLC titanium/ceramic model listing for CHF 9400 (~$10,400) and the titanium/rose gold commanding an eye-water price of CHF 18,500 (~$20,500).

Canada’s Momentum GMT Watches

We love the Vortech GMT’s simple aviator style, the subdued case design, and the additional contrast provided by the red and yellow hands for the Alarm and GMT settings, respectively.

Momentum is claiming the alarm is quite loud and that pricing will start at a very reasonable $285 with a yet-to-be-priced option for a sapphire crystal (the base model uses mineral glass). Even among other quartz competition, that is a strong feature set, clean styling and a wearable size, all for under $300!

Canada’s Momentum Watches has announced a very cool looking titanium aviator that features both GMT and alarm complications.

This new model is called the Vortech GMT and, given its feature set, should make for a very practical and easy-to-wear watch. This new model will be available soon and sports a 44mm titanium case with a lug to lug distance of 53mm and is powered by a Swiss ISA8176/1990 quartz movement.
