I’m not suggesting this is a ‘sleeper’ piece, but it’s certainly true that it’s both reasonably sized – 43mm – and packed with clever complications.
Have a good look at the dial (or just the name of the watch ;-) ) and you’ll see evidence of such: date, day, week, month, season and moon phases. Oh, and it handles leap years happily too.
The movement behind this is the Breitling caliber 29. This has 38 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 42 hours.
There’ll only be 50 of these made – 25 in a silver dial, 25 in black.
The case is in 18kt rose gold. There’s an AR-coated sapphire crystal and water resistance to 50 meters.
Very nice indeed :-)
Details of this new IWC model actually came out way before the madness that is Baselworld – during SIHH in fact – but here at Winderz HQ it got a bit lost in the noise - until now.
One for the ‘when you are old and rich’ list.
[Press Release] Patek Philippe’s new Ref. 5235 Annual Calendar Regulator embodies a number of novel facets never before featured in the manufacture’s collection. It is the first Patek Philippe wristwatch with a regulator dial, characterized by a sweep minute hand, a subsidiary hour dial at 12 o’clock and a seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.
Now this I like.
Another nice new model from Tissot.
Here’s a really interesting new piece from Artya.
[Press Release] Patek Philippe is expanding its classic chronograph collection with the introduction of its very latest perpetual calendar model, a complication that has always occupied a place of honour in the brand’s collections.
Girard-Perregaux adds to its 1966 collection by adding a new version of the Full Calendar model in white gold.
