The design features and technical specifications of two models come together. The 45 mm stainless steel case features two crowns, one for setting the time and date, the other for adjusting the “doppiotempo” (dual time) function, and the rotating internal bezel that allows the second time zone setting. The special oil filling first adopted by the Capsoil watch creates the illusion of absence of the glass and amplifies the three-dimensional effect. The bubble floating freely on the dial compensates the temperature variations. The case back features the Locking ring system with quick battery replacement.
Ospitata dal Museo delle macchine agricole "Orsi" e patrocinata dal Comune di Tortona, la seconda edizione di Watches of Italy (WOI) si è chiusa domenica 26 settembre con un bilancio lusinghiero. Gli oltre 3000 visitatori hanno potuto vedere e toccare con mano numerose novità, incontrare i produttori e acquistare direttamente gli orologi e gli accessori in esposizione. La mostra mercato ha lo scopo di valorizzare la creatività delle decine di imprenditori e artigiani italiani attivi nel settore. Nelle prossime settimane 10e10.ch presenterà alcune delle novità viste a Tortona.
The new dial of the Louis Erard Regulator is the work of atelier oï, a workshop based in La Neuveville that works in the fields of architecture and design. The surface is engraved with asymmetrical rays that radiate from the hands. The wearer has to mentally reconstruct the puzzle of hour angles in order to read the time. However, all the links are not broken: the minute-circle still appears around the edge of the dial, with a more pronounced line every five minutes. Retail price CHF 3,500. Limited edition of 178 pieces.
The German watchmaker celebrates its 60th anniversary with a pilot chronograph made in a limited series of 600 pieces. The stainless steel case is waterproof and pressure-resistant up to 20 bar, and equipped with Air-Dehumidifying Technology. The ceramic bezel insert features a twelve-hour scale. The self-winding Caliber SZ01 is visible through the sapphire glass caseback.
Enabling instant reading of the time in 24 time zones, the dial features a central display of the hours, minutes and seconds combined with a double rotating disc on the outer edge: one for the reference cities and another with a 24-hour graduated scale. The functions are adjusted via the crown, first positioning the city of the chosen time zone at 12 o’clock, then setting the time until the hours and minutes hands indicate the exact time in the selected time zone. The integrated movement developed by the Manufacture comprises 261 components. The 41 mm stainless steel case is water resistant to 100 m.

When launched a few years ago, the Masterpiece Gravity distinguished itself by placing the escapement and regulating organ on the dial side, positioned adjacent the off-centre hour and minutes display. Housed in a 43mm stainless steel case, the latest addition to the collection features an updated silver-toned dial and a manufacture movement visible through the display caseback.
