[Press Release] Following the success of the Azimuth SP-1 Roulette unveiled at Baselworld 2009, Luxury watch brand Azimuth introduces another gaming-inspired timepiece – the World’s First Round -1 Baccarat. Based on the card game’s four possible outcomes – ‘player’, ‘banker’, ‘pair’ and ‘tie’, this watch has a modified movement that once the pusher embedded in the winding crown is depressed, spins the pointer which will stop randomly either of those outcomes. It is complemented by a stainless steel deployant buckle crocodile leather strap.
Azimuth is introducing 6 versions of this – a top tier, mid-tier and entry-level model for both males and females. This is also the first Azimuth watch which has a more elegant, female version.
At top of the range is a pavé diamond watch, with the case and dial of the men’s version covered with over 1100 VVS Top Wessleton diamonds (7 carats), and that of the ladies’ 800 VVS Top Wessleton diamonds (4.8 carats). The second tier includes watches with a mother-of-pearl face and a bezel set with 206 (1.2 carats) black and white diamonds, while the entry level versions come with a mother-of-pearl dial with no diamonds. Prices range from S$4,888 to S$23,888.
