New Watches 2019 (2)

BREGUET

Tourbillon Extra-Plat Squelette - The skeletonised movement of this tourbillon watch is just 3mm high. The decoration on what remains of the plate features a "Clous de Paris" hobnail pattern involving a diamond-tipped guillochage technique, a first at Breguet. The fluted pink gold case is topped with a narrow bezel.

DE BETHUNE

Maxichrono DB21 Re-edition - The brand returns to the complex mechanisms of the DB21 Maxichrono in a limited edition of ten pieces in titanium. This lightweight, comfortable material is used for the 44.40mm case as well as for the floating lugs, this time in a blued version.

JAQUET DROZ

Grande Seconde Off-Center Chronograph - This monopusher chronograph features a manufacture movement with column wheel and silicon balance spring. The off-centre positioning of the hours and minutes subdial creates space for the 30-minute chronograph counter that combines with a retrograde date display.

IWC 

Pilot’s Watch Timezoner Spitfire Edition “The Longest Flight” - This timepiece combines the patented Timezoner mechanism with an in-house automatic movement. The watch is set to a different time zone by a rotation of the bezel. The hour hand, 24-hour display (on a disc at 12 o'clock) and date all automatically adjust at the same time.

RESSENCE

Type 2 - The first mechanical watch with a smart crown features the Ressence Orbital Convex System (ROCS) module, and an e-Crown that automatically adjusts and sets the watch to the right time, thus combining the reliability of electronics with the emotional appeal of mechanical engineering.
