Hublot partnered once with the Alinghi team, and seeks to renew their partnership with this year’s races. The watch brand produces an excellent set of diver’s watches, so it’s no surprise that they would ally themselves with one of the most prestigious sailing teams in the world.
Taking all of the plusses of the Hublot Oceanographic 4000 carbon fiber, the Alinghi watch adds its own tweaks to the design. The diver’s watch combines the color scheme of the team and the Alinghi team logo.
The watch features a carbon fiber case and a depth rating of a whopping 4,000 meters, making the King Power Alinghi claims the title of one of the highest depth ratings in the world. The complete carbon fiber case is said to be inspired by the hulls of the Alinghi catamarans—and with good reason. The material is light, yet incredibly tough.

Both Alinghi and Hublot’s use of the highest quality materials are evident in their lines of work. Both sailing team and watch brand combine the highest quality, forward-thinking materials with the expertise of weathered professionals to beat the competition and make a name for themselves. No wonder the two teams have retained their partnership over the years: both take the same approach to their craft.
The bright red colors of the watch will make it easy to read at a glance throughout all the elements while the red accents add a majestic feel to the King Power Timepiece. The mechanical movement and automatic winding keeps the watch running as smoothly as a catamaran in calm waters. Add on a power reserve of 42 hours, and this watch will be able to last out a day of fun in the sun.
The Hublot’s King Power Alinghi 4000 Carbon Fiber watch is a limited edition piece—only 100 will be sold—so you’ll have to race to nab one for yourself if you’re interested. With all the potency of the King Power line and the team Spirit of the Alinghi team, why wouldn’t you beat out the competition?

The first Louis Vuitton watch to celebrate the sailing races, the 2012 Regatta watch is part of the Tambour line—Louis Vuitton’s section of urban causal watches. With the fun, bright color combination set against the backdrop of the world-renowned sailing races, this watch more than fulfills the line’s dream of quality casual pieces.
The timepiece captures the thrill of the sailing races with a bold black with red color scheme. Add blue accents and an added detail of a tiny white trophy above the words “America Cup,” and the watch celebrates—but doesn’t scream—its appreciation of the renowned race.
The durable black rubber and firm buttons add to the feeling of sportiness, but the clean lines of the timepiece keep this watch looking stylish. With just a touch of playfulness in the asymmetrical design of the chronograph dials and the two-toned hands, the timepiece captures the ease of a breezy day by the sea.
The watch features anti-reflective sapphire dial window and is waterproof up to 100 meters—perfect for those fans who want to keep track of the time without the sun or elements interfering. The rubberized case only serves to make the watch more resilient during outdoor activities.

The timepiece will be released in two versions, in quartz and in a more limited—and more exclusive—automatic function. Whether a quartz or automatic movement LV171, this watch is sure to be accurate as all Louis Vuitton products are extraordinarily meticulous in the detail work of their products.
The chronograph function is sure to come in handy for those who enjoy tracking the times on their own, while the 42 hour power reserve means you won’t have to waste time caring for the watch. The buttons are large and easy to manipulate, making it that much easier to stay with the times—and on time, of course.
The watch is a limited edition, so you’ll have to scramble for the Louis Vuitton Tambour Regatta America’s Cup Watch if you want to catch one before it sails away.

The mechanism is configured as two bulbous domes to resemble frog eyes. Not only is the design unique, but extremely functional as well—the domed setup of the dials lets the wearer read the time at any angle of the watch with ease.
For those of us who like to keep track of the moon phases (the better to avoid crazy drivers during the full moon), the MoonMachine includes a moon-phase indicator inlaid above the HM3 Frog. The timepiece even includes stars etched into the colored background with an added sky rotor as a backdrop for the moon.
The watch is truly unique. Though the HM3 Frog setup can make the watch a bit bulky on the wrist, the timepiece truly captures the essence of the brand’s wish to combine the passion of horology with certain playfulness for design.

In spite of the edgy design, the watch is surprisingly easy to read. The hour and minute “eyes” are clearly marked, and though the font is whimsical, the piece itself is still very simple to read. Readability is rarely combined with avant-garde design, yet this watch manages to pull both off with style.
To top it all off, the horological machine is powered by a Girard-Perregaux base and encased in titanium or red gold. The alligator wristband will set off all versions of white gold and red gold moon faces set off against anthracite, light or dark blue skies to their best advantage.
Not made for the faint of heart, these avant-garde watches will thrill those looking for a horological masterpiece that will stand out from the crowd. With only 18 timepieces in production per version, the watch is twice as unique.
MB&F has certainly outdone itself with its MB&F HM3 MoonMachine Watch. With all the fun gadgetry of the steam punk avant-garde to the playfulness of MB&F to the high performance quality of the mechanics, this watch is truly a work of art.

Inspired by “Foundation Minerva,” founded in 2008, to create and design watches at bi-annual interval, which advances the authentic Swiss art of watchmaking culture and future.

Montblanc TimeWriter II Chronographe Bi-Fréquence 1000 does not showcase chronograph buttons despite the fact that it is a chronograph watch. It possesses only one button making it a monopusher. This button is located at 12 o’clock and just below this button is the watch dial extends and promises complicated mechanical timekeeping in its purest form.

Montblanc TimeWriter II Chronographe Bi-Fréquence 1000 Attributes. It showcases small but discreet hour and minute hands. Seconds are located at 9 o’clock and tracked by a rotating disk of sapphire crystal which works in conjunction with an immobile triangular index; both displays accurately maintains time in part to a large screw balance which swings at a traditional pace of 18,000 hourly semi-oscillations, 2.5 Hz, and is partially visible through the skeletonized dial which is located at 7 o’clock. The remaining indicators serve the chronograph function.

Chronograph Features. The chronograph balance can be seen at half past ten and oscillates at a rate of 360,000 A/h, 50 Hz, when initiated. The red chronograph indicator begins with an elapsed-seconds hand which completes one full 360 ?rotation every second ensuring it tip sprints along the hundredths-of-a-second scale on the dial’s periphery. The reserve of power indicator is an inset cartouche located at 3 o’clock, which when fully wound is sustained for forty-five minutes. Another arrow-tipped indicator is located at 12 o’clock which runs along a calibrated arcing scale from N, for neutral, through zero, onward to nine-thousandths of a second.

Technical Attributes. Montblanc TimeWriter II Chronographe Bi-Fréquence 1,000 meticulously reveals its complications and splendor of its internal caliber. Its black skeletonize dial provides a visual exercise of its complicated movement, revealing two balances and multiple hand-polished levers. Its contoured 47 mm diameter 18K white gold case gently flows into its horns. Its frequency movement is 50 hertz minimizing friction and reduces wear on the watch. The crown displays Montblanc’s star-shaped logo located at 3 o’clock. The chronograph button is positioned mid-point between the horns at 12 o’clock which marries harmonious with the watch’s overall design and styling. The caseback is sapphire crystal which again provides another inside view of Montblanc TimeWriter II Chronographe Bi-Fréquence 1,000 mechanical features.

Inside the case of the Diagono Ceramic is a beautiful dial. The men’s version comes in a deep black dial that has three short-time hour, minute, and second measurement sub-dials that are silver-toned or gold-toned. The hour, minute, and second hands are either silver-toned or gold-toned depending on the sub-dials. There is a small date window in between the 4 and 5 o’clock position as well. The women’s version comes in a gorgeous white mother-of-pearl dial with 8 brilliant-cut diamonds hour markers.

The designers opted for marking days as the month for the indices instead of the standard hours and minutes markings, but the watch is still easy to read as it is free from an over-abundance of clutter on the dial itself.
The weekday and month appear in the top half of the watch and a simple etching of the moon and stars grace the bottom half of the watch. The design has an unconventional watch function: it serves as a moon phase indicator as well as a pleasing design.
It is the little details that really make the watch stand out. Perhaps the most enchanting element of the timepiece is the serpentine hand with a sliver of a moon fixed to its edge pointing to the corresponding day of the month. Where in some designs, the curving hand might have been hokey, the delicate work adds a quiet elegance for the piece.

The black alligator leather strap ties the piece back in with the onyx stone and makes the silver shine even more brightly against the darker background.
The watch is functional as well as beautiful. With a complex Jaquet Droz Calibre 6553LZ movement and a whopping 68-hour power reserve, the package does not eclipse the functionality of the watch itself.
This watch is a unique little piece. The slight deviations from standard watches, such as the date markings around the dial and the serpentine hand add interesting twists to the piece without distracting from the stark onyx and the beautiful simplicity of the design. And yet, in spite of all its twists, the watch still possesses a classic beauty that charms the wearer.
For a watch channels the distant regal bearing of the moon with down-to-earth functionality, this watch has it all. The Jaquet Droz Eclipse Onyx Watch takes its place among the all-stars of luxury designs not with over-hyped construction, but a striking simplicity that dazzles.
