ouR heART Runs foR wATches

Watchmakers repeatedly succeed in surprising us with stunning new techniques and innovative materials. Carbon, silicium and PVD coatings are only a few of the latest developments which can be seen in our new collection of mechanical watches. The ability to reinvent has been distinctive for the watch industry for centuries. A great example is the tourbillon, a great invention from the year 1801 by Abraham-Louis Breguet. Today the tourbillon, often made visible via an open space on the dial, is still looked upon as the ultimate complication. And it is to our great pleasure, that the tourbillon is applied by an increasing number of top watch brands. For us the tourbillon represents the very heart of watchmaking. It combines technical ability with a long tradition to create a unique and timeless product. And no matter if you have one

exclusivity and service-mindedness in perfect harmony

the watch sector, means that everyone grows, both as individuals and as salespeople. Something else which sets it apart is that Sweden is relatively small as a country and as a market. This means that we work in a focused way at Nymans Ur and are very active for our brands. And, despite the fact that we are a small country, we reach levels that compare with anywhere else in Europe. In a manner of speaking, it is easier to achieve a higher level of exclusivity in Central Europe, for example, where there is a completely different watch and clock culture. Today, we can compare ourselves with shops in other countries where there is a completely different view on watches and jewellery and the craft underlying them. It has taken time, but today we are among the top stores in Europe. For example, when we started working with Audemars Piguet and Breguet at Nymans Ur, hardly anyone knew what they were. As a result of working proactively on marketing and boosting the level of knowledge of our Watchout spoke to Roger Mais, who has been working at Nymans Ur 1851 for nine years. His

very much in demand. It is more than 15 years since the Larsson family acquired the shop. After complete renovation, they presented to customers and the press a shop that is unrivalled anywhere in Scandinavia. Architect-designed and with specially ordered fixtures and fittings, it has large, readily accessible display windows that inspire customers to dare to get up close and look. The group of brands that Nymans Ur represents is very impressive. Many of the brands sold in the shop are available in Sweden exclusively through Nymans Ur 1851. Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Panerai and Zenith, for example, are not sold anywhere else in Sweden. This is how we like to work, owner Olof Larsson says. We like taking chances and take on brands we strongly believe in. Even if the brand might not be so well known in Sweden, if we believe in the product, we work hard and give it a try. But Nymans Ur also acquires many well-known brands. The shop for instance keeps Cartier, Chopard, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre and naturally, Rolex. Britta Rossander

listeners and young, makes customers feel welcome. The average age here at Nymans Ur is below the norm for exclusive watch shops. We get involved in the customers questions and do our utmost to give all customers the best possible service. What is so special about working at Nymans Ur 1851? What makes it special is that Nymans Ur is a unique shop. Partly due to the range and the brands we carry, and partly as a result of the special way of working we employ. Everyone working here takes on considerable responsibility early on. The fact that it is not so much managed from the top down, which is what you would usually see elsewhere in

expertise in clocks and watches has developed strongly during these years. Today, Roger is one of Europes most expert salesmen in the field of Haute Horlogerie. Why do customers choose to come to Nymans Ur 1851? The shop offers many advantages. It is highly exclusive and at the same time ultra-modern. Despite the fact that the shop offers an advanced environment, it is relaxed, personable and not the least bit pretentious. Customers should feel as if theyre going into any other shop, but here you find a more exclusive environment. This, combined with the fact that the staff are good

Ive been working here for more than 30 years, says shop manager Margareta Rydbck. Krons Ur in PK-Huset is in the best possible location - being clearly visible from all the escalators and entrances, it really draws people in. Lots of people sneak in to have a peek at whats new. They want to be updated about any new brands we may have in the shop, or a watch thats part of any particularly desirable limited edition. We welcome anyone who wants to browse and were only too happy to answer questions. Were a young team of male and female staff and were a cheerful team too. The atmosphere is relaxed, which means customers can feel comfortable and take their time. We want everyone to be satisfied and to be pleasantly treated, Margareta explains. Erik, one of the youngest staff members who has a passion for fine watchmaking, agrees. We are working in a very accessible store, which is not so usual when working with watches in the higher segment. When asked what is unique about working at Krons Ur he smiles and says: It is the personal relationship you establish with all your customers. Nothing is rushed. When you are helping a person to find a suitable watch, our focus is 100 per cent on the costumer. It is important to be a perceptive person, and listen to the clients needs when they are searching for that special watch. Krons Urs staff also have a very high level of knowledge about the watches and the mechanisms. At regular intervals they will attend special educational sessions, some >

of which are general watchmaking sessions designed to give a higher understanding of movements and different complications while others are held by the different brands in order to update the staff about the latest novelties. This is also important so that they maintain a higher understanding of the whole collection of the different brands, and even if a particular watch is not in stock they can always order the exact model a customer requires. Even though the staff at Krons Ur have a passion for Haute Horlogerie and the complicated manufacture behind many of the watches they sell, they are also very trend sensitive. Many of our younger consumers are fashion-oriented so we are trying to integrate both Haute Horlogerie and fashion in the shop in order to offer the custumers diversity in the watches we choose to have. Watches made by high fashion designers are also available at Krons Ur. Advanced sports watches represent a large part of the range and, when the limited edition watches are released, Krons Ur is among

the first to receive them. Sometimes limited novelties that are produced in only few pieces are reserved for Krons Ur and are not available anywhere else in Sweden. An exceptional collaboration, which demonstrates Krons Urs uniqueness, was done with the Swedish watchmaker Sj Sandstrm. Together they created a Krons limited edition watch, which was only produced in 20 pieces. They sold out almost as soon as they arrived in the shop. Britta Rossander

Timeless beauty from Rolex

Created sixty years ago, the Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolesor is the worlds most recognized and recognizable watch, if not the standard-bearer of an art de vivre. Impervious to the vagaries of fashion, it remains eternally modern. And the new Datejust II Rolesor for men and the Datejust Rolesor 36 mm for ladies, with gem-set bezel, are the proof.
Datejust in steel with diamond paved bezel

41 mm case The Datejust II makes an exquisite addition to the extensive range of the Oyster Perpetual Datejust family. The case, in yellow or white, is for the first time available in 41 mm. Fitted with a fluted bezel, the watch is waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet). The Datejust II is equipped with a calibre entirely designed and manufactured by Rolex. It features a Parachrom hairspring, highly resistant to shocks and magnetic fields, as well as new Paraflex shock absorbers, which ensure its superlative chronometric precision and remarkable reliability. The movement is chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) and has a power reserve of 48 hours. The Datejust II features original dials that are, at once, contemporary and altogether classic. Feminine version In its 36 mm size the new Oyster Perpetual Datejust is a resolutely feminine version. The 36 mm case combines optimal comfort and elegant refinement. Waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet), it now, for the first time, features a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The watch is equipped with a chronometer certified movement with a power reserve of 48 hours. Day-Date II The Day-Date II stands out. In 18 k yellow, white or Everose gold, and also in platinum, this is a watch for the man who appreciates classical elegance and the strength of innovation. The Day-Date II is the quintessence of Rolexs savoir-faire. This majestic watch has a 41 mm case and a movement with a Parachrom hairspring, highly resistant to shocks and magnetic fields. It is equipped with new Paraflex shock absorbers. Both features contribute to the watchs chronometric precision and remarkable reliability. To further enhance the strong identity of the Day-Date II,

Timeless Subtly redesigned over time, the Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolesor, archetype of timeless luxury, embraces all the latest watch making innovations to meet the most demanding technological requirements. The history of this must-have masterpiece of contemporary watch making is rooted in the rich heritage of Rolex timepieces. It is the fruit of the Oyster, the first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch entirely designed and manufactured by Rolex in 1926. The movement of the watch receives its energy from the Perpetual rotor, the first self-winding mechanism with a free rotor, created in 1931. The Datejust made its debut in 1945, its name inspired by the date displayed in a window on the watch dial. The Oyster Perpetual Datejust is the hallmark of the Rolex brand. Precise, waterproof and self-winding, this officiallycertified Swiss chronometer with date display is crafted with only the finest of materials and assembled with the greatest of care.

and the surrounding areas to come to Nymans for Swiss watches. I often see several generations of families buying watches here. Sometimes when I arrive in the morning there are already several people waiting for the shop to open. The younger ones come here because we are very much aware of the current trends and frequently update our range of products, says shop manager Joakim Alderns. He points out that things are always evolving in the store and thinks that this is why customers not only choose to visit Nymans Ur in the first place, but also to keep on coming back. Jewellery also accounts for much of todays offering. The people of Vsters are especially impressed with Ole Lynggaard Copenhagens marvellous collections. The range reflects the fact that the buyers at Nymans Ur really have a feeling for trends as well as expertise in timepieces and jewellery. Customers always appreciate the tasteful shop display at Nymans Ur of Vsters, with its regularly-changing windows and an interior which pleases the eye and presents a familiar atmosphere. When asking Joakim why working at Nymans Ur is particularly special, he says it is because the watch and jewellery industry is just so very interesting and that quality is always a priority. We can offer our customers a unique purchasing

experience, and its a great feeling to be there That original shop can be regarded as the foundation of Nymans Ur 1851. Now today, it is more than 40 years since Gran and Birgit Larsson bought the watchmakers business at Stora Gatan 26. At the time they took a great risk in putting everything they had into making it a success, but as the oldest shop in Vsters it has become a long-established and well-respected institution. The business passed through the hands of various other owners before the Larsson family made the decision to acquire it and instill it with a new lease of life. The Larssons focused wholeheartedly on building-up the finest watch shop in Sweden based on the concept of offering their customers only the very best. Nymans Ur of Vsters became one of the first authorised retailers in Sweden to be permitted to sell Rolex, long before the now-legendary brand was as well known as it is today. It is more than 150 years since Nymans Ur 1851 was established and began to attract the people of Vsters who went there for the best advice and to buy the best timepieces. The same applies today. Its ingrained in both the people of Vsters to help when people are looking for something special. We always ensure that we make time to chat to anyone who comes in. Britta Rossander

underwater milieu is generally far less noisy than the aerial one, the alarms sound is perceived with greater clarity under water. The alarm setting crown and on-off pushpiece, in gold, are sheathed in rubber for easier handling, adding a further touch of sporty elegance. The watch naturally possesses the usual divers-watch features, not least a one-way rotating bezel inscribed with a graduated 20-minute sector. The bezels unidirectional rotation is secured by a blocking pawl, visible and located between the two winding crowns on the case flank. Shaped like a wave, it recalls the watchs essential functions. To improve its legibility even in the murkiest waters, its minute markers and hand along with the hour hand are coated with white luminous super luminova while the hour and alarm markers glow blue. Represented by a blue triangular pointer at 10 oclock, the powerreserve indicator is also luminous. Rounding out its attributes, the Marine Royale 5847 possesses a date indicator and a self winding mechanism. The white gold version comes with an 18 k dial with black rhodium finish while the pink gold version features an 18 k pink gold dial. Both are manually engine turned with the collections dedicated wave pattern.

and beveled no mean feat for such unyielding material. The hand -wound movement visible through the clear sapphire case back has been entirely chased by hand while, in true Breguet style, the dial is manually engine-turned silvered gold. The movement is hand-wound and entirely engraved by hand. Off course the watch is numbered and signed Breguet. Available in 18 k pink gold and 18 k pink gold. Marine Royale Tradition Finally we present the new Tradition 7027 to you. Unique in the history of watch making and symbolic of Breguets own origins, the emblematic Tradition 7027 design returns in a two-color version. Its now-celebrated caliber 507DR displays the entire movement, built on either side of the main plate though mostly on the front of the plate. Its white gold case holds an anthracite grey movement that emphasizes its bridges and bars, in particular the escapements, fitted with its celebrated old-style pare-chute in hand-beveled steel. The movement proper has received a grey anthracite surface treatment, basically an improved electroplating technique, employing an alloy of precious metals of the platinum family darker in hue than the ruthenium traditionally favored by watchmakers. The visual contrasts between the anthracite movement and the white gold case add to the watchs crisp contemporary good looks with a revolutionary touch or two, not least the time of day displayed on a lustrous black dial off-centered at 12 oclock. The Tradition 7027 is also available in pink gold with pink gold main plate, bridges and bars.

Another beautiful extension of our Breguet collection is the Marine Royale 5847. Breguets Marine collection draws its inspiration from the original designs created by Breguet himself for the French Royal Navy after his 1815 appointment as Horologist to the French Navy. Sturdy in design, Breguet Marine watches have for decades been reputed for their dependable performances. In 2004 Breguet launched a new interpretation of this product line, featuring a markedly more contemporary and sporty but ever elegant design. Following the

A pioneer in acoustic research, Breguet today confirms a technological advance it already enjoyed 225 years ago with its invention of the gong. A new alarm mechanism built into the divers watch as well as a new minute repeater are also joining the collection.

Minute repeater Today still, the minute repeater ranks supreme among horological complications. Universally admired, its intricate construction has remained the preserve of a few master watchmakers with the skill and patience to fit and adjust its delicate parts. In 2008, Breguet came out with a new way of designing these technological marvels, fitting them with an entirely re-engineered movement incorporating new materials and featuring innovative positions for the gongs, gong rests and hammers. This patented technique is now in service on

Sound travels about four times faster under than above water. Furthermore, as the

Officine Panerai, with its Italian design and Swiss precision, gained a lot of respect with the launch of its first in-house movement in 2005. The technologically advanced manually wound P.2002 movement with its historically rooted 8days power reserve was only the beginning of a remarkable horological adventure. The Manifattura collection comprises watch models featuring mechanical movements designed, developed and produced entirely in-house. The P.2002 family offers manually wound movements, housing well over ten international patents. With three barrels it is guaranteeing a 6, 8 and even 10days power reserve and various technical complications. For example the P.2004 Luminor 1950 8Days GMT Chronograph Monopulsante 44mm and the P.2005 Radiomir Tourbillon GMT 48 mm with a six days power reserve. This year the Panerai Manifattura collection will be extended not only with the new in-house calibre P.2006 Luminor 1950 8days Chrono Monopulsante Rattrapante 47mm, but also with a new family of automatically wound in-house movements, the P.9000. P.9001 and P.9002 P.9000 The P.9000 family contains everything the practical modern watch enthusiast could wish for in his daily watch whilst representing the sportive elegance of Panerai. The date, hours, minutes and decentrally displayed seconds are easily readable from the characteristic luminescent sandwich dial. While on the backside of the watch one can admire the in-house movement through the sapphire crystal. The movement provides a 72hours power reserve, a single piece rotor, which winds by moving in both directions thanks to an ingenious ratchet device. This is a balance wheel with adjustment screws, a balance wheel stop for accurate time adjustments and quick time change (one hour steps) linked to the calendar. To house these new movements, a specially-made version of the 44 millimetre Luminor 1950 case has been designed, keeping the proportions of the original but holding a slightly less convex
Luminor 1950 Marina 3 Days automatic. Case: 44 mm

The P.9000 is available in two versions of the Luminor 1950 Marina Automatic 44 mm with either an interchangeable alligator strap (PAM00312) or with an interchangeable steel bracelet (PAM00328). This new metal bracelet has brushed asymmetric links rounded lengthways as well as across, but with polished points of contact. Furthermore the P.9000 calibre is available in the latest version of the Luminor Submersible (PAM00305), which thanks to the new movement, joins the Manifattura Collection for the very first time. With a 47 mm diameter brushed titanium case with polished edges, anti-clockwise unidirectional rotating bezel with graduated scale for calculating the time of immersion and ratchet click at minute intervals it is a professional diving watch. Distinctive features, in addition to its size, include a particularly large bezel with stud and relief markers, as well as a dial with wide baton hands. This design takes inspiration from the details of historic dials. It comes complete with a natural rubber strap.

The more complicated calibres P.9001 and P.9002 consist of 227 and 236 components. On top of the features found in the P.9000 these movements are equipped with a GMT function with 12h indicator, a practical function often used by travellers. Furthermore these two movements have a seconds-reset device, historically designed for watch synchronization. Last but not least these models have a power reserve indicator which can be read on the P.9001 from a rotating disc on the movement visible through the sapphire crystal case back. On the P.9002 the second time zone is indicated on the dial. The P.9001 Luminor 1950 GMT models are made in steel, have a 44mm diameter case and are available with an interchangeable alligator strap (PAM00320) or an interchangeable metal bracelet (PAM00329). The P.9002 Luminor 1950 GMT is available on an interchangeable alligator leather strap. Starting at a recommended retail price of 4900 euros the P.9000 family offers great horological value in regards to its price, which is rather brilliantly timed in the current world economy. A fantastic edition to the Panerai and Manifattura assortment.

The machinery at Nymans is impressive. Very few places can demonstrate anything like it. Here they have ultrasound tubs for cleaning and high-pressure steam cleaners, as well as the latest microscopes for identifying faults and checking oil. Pressure testing is done using water to allow the watchmakers to see where the leak is. Specialised machines are always used to run test programmes on watches in different positions. And compressed air tests are always the last item for watches that have been serviced. According to the watchmakers, this is a brilliant place to work, situated in fully renovated premises with large windows and individually adjusted work surfaces. Here they have the latest extractors and high pressure air on each workbench to provide the best environment. The facility has an advanced ventilating system that prevents dust particles from entering the watch. We also have machines for polishing watchcases and even for manufacturing parts and specialist tools. We put all watches on special winders so we can check they wind up exactly as they should, according to workshop manager Sofia Eriksson. Here, watches that at first sight look old and worn get the chance of a new lease of life. Naturally, the watchmakers here specialise in different makes and they know their watches. It is amazing that they are able to restore a severely damaged watch to as-new condition. Sometimes customers have a hard time believing the watch

they are picking up is the right one. Once we get going, it takes from three weeks to fully renovate an action-based wristwatch. Every tiny part of the action is looked at through a magnifying glass. We replace worn cogs, thoroughly clean all the parts and inspect everything very closely. We test all the watches we deal with to make sure they are working properly, and we give them a polish. We replace all gaskets and all waterproof watches are pressure tested. A final polish is that little extra touch that can make a watch look brand new again, comments Arne Kihlberg, who has been working at Nymans Ur as a watchmaker for 28 years. Each watchmaker is always responsible for a given watch from the moment it arrives at the workshop for an estimate (takes about 1 week) until it is returned to the customer. Accordingly, as well as being an expert on watch construction, this also means watchmakers are specialist polishers. A quick look at a watch with a steel bracelet will show it is very common to see a mixture of matt and shiny polishing on very small surfaces. All brands have their own designs of the orientations of the various polishings and the angles at which they are to be done. There are no templates to show you what to do. Each watchmaker knows how to get it just right and we have the best machines for the purpose, says Sofia Eriksson as she guides Watchout through the workshop. An impressive business All watchmakers are specially trained in different types of action. This is essential for ensuring the success of after-sales service to customers, and it

The workshop was recently visited by Audemars Piguets trainer from Amsterdam and the level of expertise and conditions were found to be so perfect that they made their own special tools available to the workshop, which is extremely unusual. The AP delegation liked what they saw, so they are sending us their tools, says Henrik Samuelsson, a watchmaker who has attended a specialist training course at Audemars Piguets in Switzerland. Interaction between the brand and the watch workshop is absolutely vital. In precision work such as this, it is important for everything to go smoothly and for contact with the maker to be straightforward. Accordingly, all the watchmakers have their own computer for direct access to the various brands so that repairs can be carried out as efficiently as possible. How often should you have a chronograph serviced, for example? Every four years! If you do that, your timepiece will last longer, the watchmakers tell Watchout.

New Royal Oak Offshore in carbon

Audemars Piguet:
Royal Oak lady Carbon

Of course Audemars Piguet stands for much more than the Royal Oak series. The new 2009 collection shows us new items in different ranges. The classics are represented by the Jules Audemars collection for example. But AP introduces also a new line of cushionshaped timepieces inspired by a historical Audemars Piguet model from 1923. Contemporary styled watches can be found in the Millenary series. Millenary Chrono. Since its renewal in 2006, the Millenary collection has been regulary enriched with new timepieces. For example several prestigeous editions such as the Millanary MC12 Tourbillon and Chronograph or the Cabinet No. 5 in the tradition dExcellence collection, along with the Millenary with deadbeat seconds. However, a chronograph was definitely lacking in this range a gap that has now been filled with this new model that is writing a fresh chapter in the fascinating story of the Millenary. The watch comes in a pink gold oval case and has a beautiful sky blue tachometric scale on a chestnut brown background. The signature feature is the two-zone designed dial, were the time can be read at the off-centered sub dial. an anthracite dial with black numerals and red central chronograph Royal Oak Offshore Back to the Royal Oak then. Man as well as women will be pleased with the new collection Audemars Piguet introduces. When first created in 1972, the Royal Oak overturned existing fine watch making codes and asserted itself as the first high-end sports watch. Twenty years later, the famous octagon was reinterpreted in an extreme sports version that became the Royal Oak Offshore collection the start of an ongoing success story. The latter is now being enriched with new dials in unusual colours and appears equipped with the exclusive selfwinding Calibre 3126/3840. The steel models have silvered dials with black numerals, a red central chronograph seconds hand, a small seconds index and a tachometric scale. The titanium model features Royal Oak lady Carbon For women who appreciate a robust watch, Audemars Piguet introduces the Royal Oak Lady Carbon. With its part-matt, part-shiny, resolutely high-tech black color stemming from the combination of forged carbon, ceramics and rubber, the watch looks stylish and robust. A few red touches and a diamond-set bezel bring a feminine touch. Mix in a boldly assertive size and the peerless style of the Royal Oak Offshore collection and you get the Royal Oak Offshore ladies chronograph. It is chic, sporty and quite simply irresistible. seconds hand and counter hands. Both new dials feature a new and exclusive Mega Tapestry motif.

commitment. Other new watch models in the Aquatimer family include the Aquatimer Deep Two, Aquatimer Chronograph (also in pink gold) and the Aquatimer Automatic 2000. All have the following features in common. The case dimensions have increased slightly to 44 mm, and in one particular

two millimeters to 44 millimeters, the height is now 14 millimeters, and the number of watches will be limited to 500 each in platinum and pink gold. Ingenieur Another icon in the IWC collection is the Ingenieur, which is now available in several new versions. An important change is the increased diameter of the case, which now measures a solid 45,5 millimeters. At the same time it also imparts a rather slimmer and accordingly more elegant appearance. Yet above all else, the idea of further enhancing the robustness of this Ingenieur through design measures was always at the forefront. For this reason, the Big Ingenieur Chronograph with the chronograph buttons integrated harmoniously into the case was given an additional side guard to protect the screw-in crown from lateral impacts. Better safe than sorry. It is also water-resistant to 12 bar. Also new is the Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth. A watch fit for an expedition and for all times even the toughest. In one sentence: whatever a man endures, whether it be in the ice fields of Alaska, the tropical rainforest of the Amazon or in the deserts of Africa, this watch also endures. And it does even more besides. This has proven in endurance tests in the laboratory and on gruelling missions on the wrists of full-blooded adventurers. With a case diameter of 46 mm, it has unquestionably become a member of IWCs large calibre group and even beats the Big Ingenieur model by half a millimeter. Vintage Last but not least IWC presents the new vintage items. Last year IWC celebrated its anniversary with a special jubilee edition of the Pilots Watch, Portuguese, Ingenieur, Aquatimer, Da Vinci and Portofino. The models came in steel and platinum, and are now also available in rose gold and white gold.

instance even to 46 mm. Another immediately obvious feature shared by the re-engineered family is the rotating diving bezel, now located externally once again. IWC has always incorporated two possibilities for measuring dive times in its divers watches. The first Aquatimer was equipped initially with a rotating inner bezel, which was operated via the second crown. The system is particularly secure as far as unintentional adjustment is concerned, although it is not so user-friendly when the diver is wearing gloves. The ocean 2000 watch model dating from 1982 had already adopted an external rotating bezel, which the GST Aquatimer from 1997 also retained. The Aquatimer generation of 2009 embraces this technology once again in the form of an external rotating bezel of an entirely new design. The re-engineered family picks up the yellow-black and blue-orange signature colours of the previous Aquatimer family in a number of models, but it also introduces new and interesting colour combinations for the dial, hands and indicators.

Aquatimer Once again, IWC Schaffhausen has extensively modified, both technically and aesthetically, its family of divers watches, first introduced in 1967 under the name Aquatimer and since then further developed on a number of occasions. This step coincides with a new partnership in support of environmental and marine conservation, which IWC has entered into with the Charles Darwin Foundation in Galapagos to mark the Darwin bicentennial year in 2009.

It strikes all the hours that have passed since the last twelve oclock on its lower-pitched gong, the quarters that have passed since the last full hour as double strikes, and the minutes that have passed since the last quarter as strikes on the higher-pitched gong.

exceptional news from celeBrating

The Chronomat B01 is available in four versions. All-steel, steel with a bezel bearing four solid gold quarter-hour markers, steel with a gold bezel, and all-gold. The precious metal comes exclusively in the warm, modern glow of 18 k pink gold. The dials are graced with sophisticated details such as diamond polished hands, finely-turned totalizers and hand-applied numerals and hour markers. The Roman numerals create an original effect playing with the circles of the totalizers and the square grid-patterned zone. The four applied quarter-hour markers on the bezel feature a convex profile ensuring a silky-smooth feel. Displaying a characteristic flair for detail, Breitling has opted to facilitate handling by slightly lowering the upper surface of the bezel on the side where the finger rests when performing the unidirectional rotation. Navitimer limited series In celebrating its 125th anniversary, Breitling is reaffirming its passion for chronographs more powerfully than ever, by reminding people

of the key role that the brand has played in developing this type of instrument. But the history of Breitling is also closely intertwined with that of aviation, thanks to the cockpit instruments and pilots chronographs that have made the company the official supplier to world aviation. The most famous of these instruments for professionals is undoubtedly the legendary Navitimer chronograph, with its circular slide rule designed to compute all airborne navigation calculations. The Navitimer 125 Anniversary is a highly distinctive version of this cult object, specially designed by Breitling to mark the companys five quarter-centuries. This limited edition of 2,009 pieces is distinguished by a particularly understated and dynamic aesthetic. The steel case featuring alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces is teamed with a highly original new bracelet called Air Racer. This is a rigid perforated wristband that pays tribute to a 1960s modern design icon. The watch is also available in a pink gold version, likewise fitted with the Air Racer bracelet.

gAlIleo gAlIleI And PAneRAI TogeTheR AT The nobel museum In sTockholm

UNESCO International Year of Astronomy 2009 marks the fourth centenary of the first astronomical observations made by Galileo Galilei with his telescope. On this occasion, the Italian fine watchmaking company Officine Panerai, in recognition of its Tuscan origins and linked to the measurement of time, decided to support an exhibition dedicated to the discoveries of the Italian genius: Galileos Telescope: the Instrument that Changed the World. The exhibition will only be held in three cities in three different continents. In Europe the city chosen was the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. The exhibition will travel from Beijing to Philadelphia to finally be presented at the Nobel Museum in Stockholm from October 2009 to January 2010. The most exceptional piece of the Exhibition is one of the two originals of Galileos Telescope in existence. Panerais goal is to interpret at the highest level the heritage of Galileo: the spirit of research and innovation, the commitment to creating beautiful artefacts and the vision of science and technology as global factors. By combining the sciences of astronomy and measuring of time, it became possible to navigate by the stars, which ultimately changed the world. Marine clocks and later Marine chronometers were used to establish longitude at sea. Part of the exhibition is this modern Marine Chronometer produced by Officine Panerai. We are proud to bring Galileos heritage worldwide through this exhibition, and through our timepieces every day, says Angelo Bonati, Officine Panerai CEO. The exhibition has been produced by the Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Florence, thanks to the support of the Italian Ministry for Universities and Research and with the collaboration of the Tuscany Region and the National Committee for the celebrations of the fourth centenary of Galileos astronomical discoveries. Officine Panerai, today one of the worlds leading names in the sector of fine watchmaking has, by virtue of its history and dedication to the continual

search for technological perfection, much in common with Galileos personal and scientific quest. The fact that the exhibition is coming to Sweden and will be displayed at the Nobel Museum is a great honour, the Museum tells Watchout. The exhibition coming to Stockholm is without doubt the biggest event Panerai is implementing this year says Olof Larsson of Nymans Ur, Swedens sole retailer of the muchcoveted Panerai watches. sweet drops model: lene nystrm actress & singer

The new Grande Reverso is loyal to the masculine essence of a timepiece invented for polo players. There are two new large-size models, each offering its own interpretation of the Reverso legend, the Grande Reverso 976 and the Grande Reverso 986 Duodate. The Grande Reverso 976 may be viewed as the very essence of the Reverso, a masculine model that is both extremely large and eminently refined. The Grande Reverso 976 shows the hours, minutes and seconds. The transparent caseback provides a view of the Manufacture-made movement, JaegerLeCoultre Calibre 976, entirely decorated and assembled by hand. This manually-wound movement has a 48-hour power reserve and measures a mere 4.15 mm thick. Finally, despite its large size, the wearer comfort and elegance of the Grande Reverso 976 are guaranteed by a leather strap fully integrated within the case. With this new model available in steel and 18-carat pink gold, the Reverso is more than ever asserting itself as one of the great classics among masculine watches. The second new Grande Reverso also reinterprets the other great Reverso classic: the Duo function. Its principle is as simple as it is logical. One watch, two faces, two time zones. Wherever in the world you may find yourself, you can set the front of your watch according to that particular time zone, while the time on the back will not change and will continue to show the time in the time zone from which you departed. The Grande Reverso 986 Duodate is a model of elegant understatement with its front dial adorned with silvered, vertical guilloch and Clous de Paris hobnail finishes, while the back dial is a deep, velvety black with white transferred numerals. One particular detail further contributes to the purity of its design: the time-setting of its Duo function is performed using the crown, rather than a pushpiece or a corrector. Even more substantial than the 976, its size will suit those who prefer large watches, while its integrated leather strap also ensures optimal wearer comfort. The Grande Reverso 986 Duodate is available in steel and in 18-carat

High-tech Furthermore there is some interesting news in the high tech segment. For instance the Master Compressor Diving watches. The case of these watches are made out of super-rugged grade 5 titanium and they remain watertight to 1000 meters. So it is natural that professional divers choose these timepieces. Jaeger-LeCoultre signed a partnership with the United States Navy Seals, the Navys elite unit of combat swimmers. To mark this agreement dedicated to challenging achievements, the Master Compressor Diving line is adding three limited series with the Navy Seals emblem. There is also some exciting news for ladies, the all black and whiteclad Master Compressor Diving Lady Cramique. It is the divers watch for women who refuse to choose between sport and seduction, refinement and exploits. To successfully handle the multiple activities of their daily lives, they need a professional instrument with a face equally suited to the demands of deep-sea diving and to those of a

Limited editions To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moonlanding, Omega introduces the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Apollo 11 40th Anniversary Limited Edition in two versions. There is one model in stainless steel and sterling silver (7,969 pieces) and one in platinum and 18 k yellow gold (69 pieces). The distinctive timepieces are powered by Omegas caliber 1861, which shares its lineage with the caliber 321 used in the original Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. The small seconds counter (sub-dial) is a medallion which features an adaptation of Apollo 11s famous mission patch: an eagle descending to the lunar surface with an olive branch representing peace in its claws. In the distance, far above the horizon, Ten years of the Omega Co-Axial escapement When Omega launched its Co-Axial caliber 2500 in 1999, the entire mechanical watch industry sat-up and took notice. The Co-Axial Escapement in the calibre was the first practical new mechanical watch escapement to be introduced since the English and Swiss lever escapements were invented in the 18th and 19th centuries respectively. In simple terms, the escapement is the heart of the mechanical watch, as it maintains the oscillations of the balance, the watchs regulating mechanism. The Omega Co-Axial Escapement reduces the friction among the parts that transmit energy to the other components, resulting in a reduced need for servicing for the movement and, above all, greater stability of the watchs precision over time. The Co-Axial escapement can be found in an increasing number of Omega models. The brand intends - in time - to make the radical technology a part of each of its mechanical wristwatches. The return of a mythical diver In 1970 OMEGA launched a watch which had been created to withstand the crushing pressures endured by divers working deep below the oceans surface. It was the Seamaster 600, the so-called Ploprof (PLOngeurs PROFessionnels, French for professional divers) and it was one of the most rugged, robust and seaworthy divers wristwatches ever manufactured. Now Omega The Omega Speedmaster is a really historical and iconic watch. Not only because of the fact that is was worn during the first moon landing, but also because the Speedmaster was the only watch approved by NASA for all manned space flights. It is a remarkable story, which started in the 1960s when two NASA officials anonymously visit several Houston jeweler stores. Charged with the task of finding the best watch available for their astronauts to wear in space, the men bought several chronographs made by different brands, all of which were tested in the solo-flight Mercury space program. Four years later NASA ordered two Speedmasters and two each of five other chronographs for testing and evaluation purposes. When NASA received the watches, they were subjected to a series of stringent tests and pre-selection processes. Only three watches out of six chronographs successfully survived this arduous pre-selection phase. The finalists were then subjected to 11 different tests the most rigorous trials endured in the history of horology. For instance, the watches were exposed for 48 hours to temperatures from 18C up to 93C and humidity percentages up to 95%. Also the shock absorbtion was tested (40 G) as well as the acceleration speed (from 1 G to 7.25 G in 333 seconds). Finally only the Omega Speedmaster passed. Ironically, Omega only learned about the Speedmasters journey into space after seeing a photograph of Ed White taken during Americas first spacewalk as part of the Gemini 4 mission in June of 1965. is introducing an updated version of this recognizable wristwatch. Equipped with a Co-Axial calibre 8500, the new Ploprof 1200M is, as its name suggests, water resistant to an astounding 1200 metres (4000 feet) and it artfully combines its ancestors legendary features with Omegas state-of-the-industry Co-Axial technology. the earth is visible. The patch, interestingly, was designed by Michael Collins who remained in the Apollo 11 capsule as Command Module Pilot while his colleagues Armstrong and Aldrin were in the Lunar Module and on the moon. Below the words Omega Speedmaster Professional on the dial, the legend 02:56 GMT the exact time that Neil Armstrong made his one small step onto the moon is displayed in red. The Apollo 11 `Eagle mission patch is stamped on the case back along with the words, The first watch on the moon, the limited edition number and July 21, 1969, the date Armstrong and Aldrin first stepped onto the moons surface.

Diver Perpetual Limited Edition The new Diver Perpetual Limited Edition is a timepiece combining strong aesthetic and technical elements from the Marine and Perpetual Collections. In other words, Ulysee Nardin offers in this watch the best of both worlds. This perpetual calendar watch is the first in the history of watch making to be adjustable both backwards and forwards from a single crown. All adjustments from the minute hand to the year indicator are synchronized. A few rotations of the crown will result in the calendar displays moving forwards or backwards one or more days, a few months or even several years. At the end of the month the date display automatically displays the first of the next month, while the month disc rotates as well. On December 31, date, day, month and year advance together. The calendar can also be adjusted backwards. The quick setting device is so ingenious that all corrections are performed over a single crown. In the year 2100 when other Perpetual Calendar watches will need to be returned to their manufacturer, Ulysse Nardin Perpetual Calendars Executive Dual Time Ulysse Nardin introduces innovative and imperishable ceramic to two models in the Dual Time collection: one in stainless steel and one in 18ct rose gold. Both watches combines a beautifully designed ceramic bezel and ceramic pushers on a new 43 mm case. The unique black dial features oversized Roman numerals and three-dimensional chiseled hands. Combining a traditional oversized small seconds register at 6 oclock with a big date in a double window at 2 oclock, the Executive Dual Time dial makes a strong statement. Comprised of the patented Dual time system, the plus and minus pushers at the 8 and 10 oclock positions of the case are crafted in ceramic. When pressed, the pushers instantly adjust the hour hand to a different time zone while the home time indicator at 9 oclock continues its 24 hour cycle. The self-winding movement mechanism is visible through the sapphire crystal case back. Each 43 mm case is individually numbered and equipped with a black lacquer screw-crown. Maxi Marine Diver Titanium The Maxi Marine Diver Titanium is the newest addition to the Maxi Marine Diver collection. Available in a sporty, 45mm high-grade polished titanium case that is hypo-allergenic, it has a unidirectional rotating bezel in either 18 ct rose gold or stainless steel.The attractive wave-patterned dial supports applied luminous indexes. A black, wave-patterned rubber strap with rose gold elements or titanium elements has been created to complement the dial and the structured bezel. The exhibition case-back offers an excellent view of this spectacular movement with its ruthenium colored rotor. The officially certified self-winding movement (C.O.S.C) features a power reserve indicator and an oversized small seconds register. The model is water-resistant to 200 meters. Each case is individually numbered. will function normally. The day indicator can be adjusted independently. The 45 mm titanium case is individually numbered (limited edition of 500 pieces) with a screw-crown and sapphire crystal.

Moonstruck Seventeen years after the completion of the historical astronomical Trilogy of Time, Ulysse Nardin has developed another revolutionary astronomical timepiece: Moonstruck. By combining the movement of two rotating discs in one display, the moon phase indication is so precise that more than 100.000 years will have to pass before it shows a full moon rather than a new moon (or vice versa). The Moonstruck simulates the rotation of the moon around the earth, as well as the apparent movement of the sun around the globe. The latter is shown by another disc, rotating every 24 hours. This permits the determination of the current moon phase in relation to any location in the world.

Lady Diver Starry Night Stylish and subtle at the same time. The Lady Diver Starry Night is perfectly suited for todays woman. Ulysse Nardin introduces this contemporary timepiece for those ladies who prefer to lead the way. At the end of a busy day at work or playing sport, the Lady Diver evening approaches... the moon appears on the distant horizon and cocktail hour nears. The Lady Diver Starry Night transforms itself into a timepiece of jewelry perfectly suitable for any occasion. With a self-winding movement the diamond set rotor in 22 ct gold is visible through an exhibition case back. Available in 18 ct rose gold in two dial combinations with diamonds, these hand-crafted timepieces are produced to last.

The most appealing new Monaco is no doubt the Twenty Four Concept Chronograph. The high-tech prototypes unique tubular design and extreme shock-protected components are inspired by Le Mans endurance racecars. The TAG Heuer Calibre 36 movement floats inside the 40.5 mm black PVD-coated case, suspended within a steeltube housing very much like a race cars drivers protective cockpit cage, and visible through the dial face and the sapphire crystal case back. The components are further insulated against shock and torque by a new composite filter material used in aerospace and auto racing. Custom built in industrial-grade tungsten, the three arrows of the oscillating weight echoes a GT cars chrome mags. The large-faced, black-textured dial bears an oversize 24 at 12 oclock, in honor of the 24 hours of Le Mans, and the iconic blue and orange livery of Gulf Oil the same colours TAG Heuer ambassador Steve McQueen wore in his 1971 film classic, Le Mans. Sebring in 1962, where Jack Heuer first heard of the legendary Carrera Panamericana Mexico Road Race, the racing worlds most grueling endurance test. Launched in 1964, the original Carrera also served as a prestigious tribute to Juan Manuel Fangio, the TAG Heuer ambassadorial hero who won the Mayor class of the fourth running

access to small seconds, second time zone (GMT) and chronograph time. Last year TAG Heuer pushed the concept even further with the Grand Carrera Calibre 36 RS Caliper Concept Chronograph. The first automatic chronograph in the world featuring the Caliper Rotating System. Now, in 2009, TAG Heuer once again showcases its unique ability to turn the most avant-garde concepts and innovations into high-prestige, ultra-luxury timepieces. Introducing the Grand Carerra Calibre 36 RS Caliper Chronograph, the first automatic chronograph with 1/10th of a second Caliper Rotating Scale. From Concept to Reality. The GT car-inspired concept chronograph that wowed US last year with its technical inventiveness and futuristic design is ready for rollout! On these page we furthermore show other new items from the Grand Carrera series, such as the Calibre 17 RS2 Chronograph. With this new generation of superlative Grand Carrera timepieces, TAG Heuer, a pioneering legend since 1860, once again proves its supremacy. When it comes to turning revolutionary ideas into the most glamorous Swiss Chronograph movements ever crafted, TAG Heuer leads the field.

The second special edition is the Monaco Calibre 12 Chronograph Gulf Limited Edition (5.000 pieces). With this watch Tag Heuer is honoring the ongoing partnership with motor-racing icon Gulf Oil. The limited edition has for the first time an elegant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal front and back. The seriously upgraded version houses the TAG Heuer Calibre 12 Automatic Chronograph Movement, a high-performance all-Swiss engine based on the Dubois Depraz 2008. The larger (39mm) case gives the watch a more contemporary look, while the orange and blue meteor dial design, inspired by the Porsche Gulf 917K driven by Steve McQueen in Le Mans, expresses its professional racing heritage. Carrera Other news concerns the Carrera model. With the new series Grand Carrera automatic chronographs and watches, the brand reaffirms its claim as the N 1 watch brand in motor sports.

complication, a total of 23. These include a selfwinding mechanism, a perpetual calendar, the display of solar time versus mean time, the phases of the moon, a repeater that chimes the hour, quarter-hour and minutes, centre seconds that can be stopped and started, a shock-absorbing device, a power reserve indicator and even a thermometer. And, of course, only the finest materials were used. It took Breguet many, many years to create this remarkable watch - so long, in fact, that neither Marie Antoinette, who was executed in 1792, nor Axel von Fersen (who was murdered in 1810), ever saw it. It was completed in 1827, 44 years after it was ordered by Axel von Felsen, and four years after the death of the great watch master himself. Stolen and returned

Breguets CEO Nicholas Hayek sr. with a replica of the Marie-Antoinette pocket watch

No 160 was eventually sold to the Marquis de la Groye, who returned it to the Breguet workshops for repair in 1838 but inexplicably failed to collect it. In 1887 it was bought for 600 by an English collector, Sir Spencer Brunton, and changed owners several times before being bought by Sir David Lionel Salomons to add to his extensive watch and clock collection, which already included 124 Breguets. His daughter Vera founded a museum in Jerusalem in his memory wheere the watches were displayed and from where the Marie Antoinette watch was stolen. It was missing without a trace for more than 25 years until being mysteriously returned in 2008. Later this year it will be on display once more. Research Meanwhile, Breguet had produced an exact replica of this remarkable watch. This project was initiated by Breguets owner, Nicolas G. Hayek, who also contributed to the renovation of Marie Antoinettes outof-town residence Le Petit Trianon in the Versailles palace gardens. Because the original timepiece was still missing, research among the archives and original drawings from the Breguet Museum and from other leading cultural institutions such as the Muse des Arts et Mtiers (arts and crafts museum) in Paris were the only available sources of information. Comparative examinations of contemporary antique watches, notably the Duc de Praslin watch, have revealed new information about the styling and watch making techniques of the period. The research has brought to light long-lost skills and has enabled the manufacturing company to produce a timepiece that is faithful to the original in every respect. Reproducing and designing such a large number of complications on the sole basis of documents proved to be a monumental task and demonstrated the
Axel von Fersen

talent of the watchmakers at Montres Breguet. Each function and every decorative feature was minutely analyzed - in the coachwork of the watch for example, the yellow gold of the 63mm-diameter case was cast in a special, more coppery alloy in order to match the period hue. The glasses for the dial and the case, made of rock crystal, allow the movement to display its finery and the marvels of its finish. The research has moreover brought to light a complication of the original watch. In reproducing this legendary watch, Breguet has begun a further chapter in the legend which began in 1783 and which has remained part of the horological landscape for more than two centuries. A donation of EUR 5 million made the renovation work possible. The replica of this remarkable watch ordered by Axel von Fersen but which Marie Antoinette was never able to read the time from was on display to a select few at the dedication of the restored palace.

Queen Marie Antoinette was one of many people to adopt the fashion of wearing a remarkable watch during the latter half of the 18th century, meaning the famous watchmaker Abraham Louis Breguet was a regular visitor to the Palace of Versailles. The young queen was truly passionate about Breguets watches and in her pursuit of the latest novelty she acquired a number of the great mans timepieces, including a perptuel watch embellished with a self-winding device. Several of the watches she ordered were gifts for her favoured companion, the handsome Swedish officer

and nobleman Count Axel von Fersen. Von Fersen was a prime favorite at the French court, partly out of respect to his fathers devotion to France but principally because of his own amiable and entertaining nature. Marie Antoinette, who first met Von Fersen when they were both aged 18, was especially attracted to him. Their relationship was never official, although some claimed that Louis-Charles was the biological child of Marie Antoinette and Fersen.

New Santos 100 in carbon

2009 represents a real quantum leap for Cartier. For the very first time, Cartier is developing its own watch movements that reflect the brands intense and ambitious research into mechanisms. This remarkable foray into the world of calibres is the signature of a new approach to fine watchmaking by Cartier, which was inaugurated last year with the Ballon bleu de Cartier Flying Tourbillon timepiece. Cartier has developed an array of shapes to convey this dynamic impetus, expressed in both the cases of their watches and the movements themselves. Featuring striking silhouettes, inventive graphic designs, spectacular volumes and Cartier-made movements, some bearing

the prestigious Geneva Seal, this collection of ten timepieces elevates great Cartier classics from the Tank Amricaine to the Santos 100 to the rank of authentic examples of fine watch making. Speaking of the Santos: it is really an iconic Cartier model. The Santos watch established a veritable new lifestyle in 1904. A century later, it took on new and momentous proportions for the launch of the Santos 100 watch. This year, Cartier introduces some new varieties of the Santos 100, including the one which can be seen on this page: a stunning carbon version with golden bezel, crown and hour markers. The watch is also available in a fully black carbon version.

Ballon Bleu de Cartier The Ballon Bleu de Cartier surprised watch enthusiasts when it was first introduced in 2007. It has a complex shape that fits the wrist like a glove and a winder that is decorated in a unique way, with a sapphire cabochon protected by a metal arch. Cartier launched several versions of the Ballon Bleu, among which were very special models such as the Flying Tourbillon. Now a beautiful steel version is also available.

The Baignoire watch Other important news from Cartier concerns an update of the Baignoire watch collection. The Baignoire watch is a legendary Cartier timepiece for ladies, whose timeless femininity has been renewed by an injection of character and energy. Showcasing exquisite lightness, this new version shines with excellence and balance to glorify the Cartier legacy through innovations in style: the gleaming faceted surfaces and precious curve of the original Baignoires domed case have been replaced by finely sculpted glass. A watch that embodies the contemporary urban woman by linking supreme gentleness and extreme rigor.

The Chronolink has been developed with the sophisticated traveller in mind. When frequently moving across land, sea and time zones, whether for leisure or business, you need a reliable instrument. The Chronolink has proved to be such an instrument. The Chronolink has become one of the worlds most helpful tools for keeping up to date. The Chronolink is a combination of an analogue and a digital watch, with a steel case and a titanium back.

sj sandstrm
In keeping with the Swedish watch making tradition, Christer Sj and Mikael Sandstrm, two engineers with a genuine interest in watches, formed Sj Sandstrm Sweden AB in 1986. With a pioneering design, they started to manufacture exclusive wrist watches produced from Swedish high quality steel. They were inspired by a visit to the Swedish Halda factory and its concealed watchmakers workshop, where watches had been made between 1918 and 1926. In 1993 Sj Sandstrm introduced their first wristwatch the Sj Sandstrm Automatic. This automatic timepiece won the Excellent Swedish Design award in 1995. Two years later the Chronolink Worldtimer UTC was launched, which was the first wristwatch that offered an innovative combination both of analogue elegance and electronic brilliance. Today, Sj Sandstrm offers twelve different watch models. On these pages we show you a number of beautiful examples of Swedish watch craftmenship!

Nabucco Rivoluzione

Black is the colour of luxury, refinement, mystery and power - and a colour that many watch brands favour for their new models. Raymond Weil is no exception, and this year the Swiss maker introduces a new Nabucco chronograph in this most powerful of colours. The sleek, 46mm-diameter case, with its circular bezel and tachometer, is made from steel and titanium to ensure resistance and endurance. Ultra light, hi-tech carbon fibre is used to decorate the case sides, providing tremendous solidity in addition to its stylish appearance. The watchs use of black is made possible by the PVD metallic coating process: a technique involving the application of a thin film of chromium and titanium carbide, faithfully respecting the original design. For the Nabucco Rivoluzione, this is especially important for both the bezels exterior ring with its alternating polished godron dcor and brushed vertical bands and the fluted push-pieces and crown. The dial of this mechanical timepiece also exudes a mysterious, avant-garde feel, which can be admired beneath a sapphire crystal, 2.5mm thick, with double-sided anti-glare treatment. Coated in black, the three subdials along with the date window at 4:30, are positioned on a central zone in relief embellished with three screws for optimum clarity. The indexes are perfectly integrated into the darkness of the dial; only the blue hands of the sub dials, and the blue chronographhand, dare provide a contrast. Quest for perfection The watchs beauty and sophistication culminate in its saddle-stitched Nile crocodile leather strap, which is both exclusive and a pleasure to wear, thanks to its folding clasp with double push-piece security, is left to chance: every detail of this exceptional timepiece has been symbolizing Raymond Weils unceasing quest for perfection.

Don Giovanni Cosi Grande Jumping Hour Another famous Raymond Weil line is the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande, a collection that is now extended with a jumping hour version. The dial of this exceptional watch framed by a stylish rectangular case in polished steel appeals to the eye with its discreet design and jumping hour display, with the hour-hand replaced by a large, easyto-read window at 12 oclock, powered by the mechanical calibre RW 1400 automatic movement, with a disc featuring the numbers of the hours. Every hour, the number promptly jumps and appears in the window. The heart of the movement, is displayed beneath the screwed sapphire crystal case-back. The stylish finish, with alternating circular-graining and Ctes de Genve dcor, reflects Raymond Weils eye for detail. Whether fitted with a saddle-stitched, full-leather black alligator strap, or a steel bracelet with double push-piece security, the Don Giovanni Cos Grande jumping hour exudes all the elegance and refinement of the Man of Today.

conceived to obtain an impeccable finish and a design in keeping with the brands avant-garde image. The new watch is powered by a special ETA 7753 tri-compax automatic movement that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour.

Great passion, technology, design, style, tradition and sportiness. These are the elements that Officine Panerai and Ferrari have in common, as two trademarks that epitomize the creativity and prestige of Made in Italy throughout the world. Every single Ferrari Engineered by Officine Panerai watch gives expression to the link between the two brands and the heritage of two defining symbols of Made in Italy through its color, shape and materials. In fact, each model is the result of meticulous, painstaking research, carried out by casting a passionate eye on all the Ferrari models produced in over sixty years of history. Ferrari Engineered by Officine Panerai is a range of watches divided into two collections, Scuderia and Granturismo, designed for those who have a fondness for exclusive creations that can also boast outstanding functions.

Special edition: Ferrari Chronograph 45 mm, DlC

Ferrari California New in the collection is the Ferrari California wristwatch Officine Prancing Horse, the Ferrari California. This is an extremely innovative car but one which in its philosophy recalls the spirit and character of a great Ferrari of the past: the 250 California of 1957, an open car of absolute elegance, born to race, which over the years has become a symbol not only of sporting character and superior performance but also of exclusivity; a masterpiece of craftsmens skill and great sophistication. Little more than 100 examples were produced from 1958 to early 1963, about half of them the short wheelbase version; they were designed by Sergio Pininfarina with bodywork in steel or aluminium, handbeaten by Sergio Scaglietti. At the wheel of these most beautiful cars were several of the most famous actors in Hollywood, such as Steve McQueen and James Coburn. The French writer Franoise Sagan also owned one, which she drove with bare feet on the roads of the Cte dAzur, like a rebellious teenager.

The Defy collection is writing a new chapter in the history of the brand.

The tapering recalls aviation design codes: the profiled wing of a plane can be seen on the escapement bridge, the small second counter, the winged guilloche of the dial and the central stitching of the strap in the Defy Classic Air, which is water resistant down to 300 meters, and has a red chronograph hand that contrasts with the black dial. Defy Xtreme Air The flyback function can also be found in the new Defy Xtreme Air, a powerful and masculine watch, with its design inspired by stealth planes such as the F 22 Raptor and Stealth. Futuristic technology, tight lines, heart-stopping materials like titanium, great strength - this design will mark the trend for the Xtreme group of sports watches. Their precision build, reliability and high level performance makes these watches real machines for the wrist, available in a limited and numbered edition. Of course Zenith also used the Zenithium alloy in this watches, which have a decompression system, incorporating a mechanical helium valve at 10 oclock which ensures its waterproofness down to great depths of up to 1000 metres. Titanium also has pride of place in this sophisticated search for water-resistance. It is the signature feature of this new compact identity, giving its matt black colour to the whole of this range. New Vintage Always copied but never equalled, the El Primero today is a watch movement philosophy that comes in 23 versions. The El Primero is centre stage, where it occupies a dominating position in the chronograph family. This year Zenith celebrates the 40th anniversary of the El Primero which was created in 1969. This occasion is marked by the launch of the New Vintage 69 series. The El Primero calibre for these Anniversary series has been named the 469 in nodding acknowledgement of the year in which the original model was created. This automatic Date Chronograph movement comprises 278 components and 31 rubies. The pieces of the New Vintage 69 collection will all be available in a limited and numbered series during 2009 only.

the future starts now with

It is a celebration of the brands authenticity and an appeal to the traditional heritage that will be the bedrock of its future. The collection is fitted with the latest generation of El Primero calibres, all made with Zenithium, a new generation alloy patented by Zenith that combines titanium (making it three times tougher than stainless steel), aluminium (that allows torsion) and niobium for its shape memory. Matching luxury with performance, this collection continues to distinguish itself by its bold creativity and spearhead technology - it stands without a doubt for everything that is good about boats, planes and cars. Reaffirming that it is indeed a 21st century timepiece by its use of futuristic materials, the athletic and powerfully built Defy collection is the very essence of assertive virility. The Classic-Xtreme duality of these pieces will appeal to enthusiastic seekers of intense sensations whilst the elegant hi-tech lines are new to the collection this year. After the deep dive into the sea craft world, this year the second part of the trilogy lifts us up into the sky with Defy Air. Slim line pieces inspired by aeronautics, given extra strength by the latest El Primero movements in Zenithium, making them as tough as they possibly can be, and equipped with a flyback function, a feature of aviation chronographs. The manufacturing precision, the reliability, the high performance requirement and the use of innovative materials make these timepieces real machines for the wrist. Defy Classic Air The Defy Classic Air, available in a limited and numbered edition, takes us into the world of aviation technology. As a tribute to our great historical chronographs, for the first time Zenith added the flyback function to the Tourbillon, the Open and the three counters chronograph. They are all equipped with the Manufactures El Primero movement beating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. Thanks to this function, the chronograph can be zeroed and a new measurement instantly restarted - there is no need to stop, zero then trip.

The logo of the Stockholm Polo Open is etched into the lens! Apparently only three watches of this same model with the same engraving have ever been produced, and this unique aspect of the watch apart from the fact that it is a JaegerLeCoultre is one of the things Nicola appreciates most in his choice of watch. Look how elegant it is. Strong, neat and perfect, Nicola says, while serving an exquisite salad. You cant help noticing the neat watch on his wrist. And you cant fail to notice that Il Patrone as The White Guide* prefers to designate Nicola in its citation of his restaurant in the guide is proud of what he and his team are able to achieve. The passion for good food and love of perfect service are palpable as Nicola describes his gastronomic art and his philosophy for the restaurant. Being No. 19 in The White Guide (jointly with Edsbacka Krog inn) gives a real sense of respect for what we do here, Nicola enthuses. His interest in timepieces which he traces back to his paternal grandfather is reflected very subtly in the dcor of the restaurant (the only embellishment is an Athmos clock on one long wall). He had an Omega from the 1930s and his pride in it certainly influenced me. After all, watches are the only proper piece of jewellery for a bloke! Why Jaeger-LeCoultre? Because of everything the brand stands for. Take a Reverso see how gorgeous it is sporty and elegant at the same time! I like the craftsmanship and the quality that Jaeger represents. Actually, I have a couple of different ones for variety. Lots of JCL lovers come to the restaurant and this is where the collectors put on a dinner when Jaeger-LeCoultres representatives come to town. We Jaeger-lovers recognise something in one another and when people discover I have an Athmos on the wall, its always a talking point. Its the only piece of art we have here. The food Nicola and his team serve is modern Italian gourmet food where the ingredients are paramount. I jealously guard the simplicity of the dishes, but the other side of the coin is that this demands perfect ingredients. Nicola has no need to advertise. The reputation of his culinary art spreads by word of mouth and he has plenty of regular customers. He also keeps track of what the guests eat, so when they say, You tell me what you think I should eat, it is not a mere repeat of the menu from the previous visit. Divino has capacity for 45 in the restaurant and 14 in the chambre separe downstairs. There is also a well-stocked wine cellar with lots of unique wines from small vineyards, and wine-tastings are also often part of the repertoire. *Each year, The White Guide Swedens answer to the Guide Rouge lists restaurants from all over Sweden based on a respected points system. This year, 509 restaurants managed to get through the eye of the needle to feature in the book. Text Britta Rossander Photo: Jan Thorbjrnsson

The winning team was the Jaeger-LeCoultre Team, which included Britains Lady Clare Milford Haven. She is among the world elite of lady polo players and this was her first time playing on Swedish soil, a fact the media latched onto. Champagne flowed and the visitors, numbering several thousand, enjoyed excellent play, a beautiful hat parade, an elegant VIP area with lots of exhibitors and superb company. In the VIP area Nymans Ur and JaegerLeCoultre shared a tent in which customers were welcomed with champagne. They could relax and admire a large collection beautiful watches, some of them flew in specially from the Jaeger-LeCoultre headquarters in Switzerland! Also a JaegerLeCoultre Reverso Squadra was auctioned, specially inscribed on the back. All the proceeds from the sale of the watch were donated to Crown Princess Victorias Foundation. The events obligatory hat parade was opened by Lilla Bukowskis auction house, whose stewards led out the competitors, wearing items from Dramaten theatres stock of costumes, subsequently to be auctioned. As before, the main sponsors of the Stockholm Polo Open were Jaeger-LeCoultre in conjunction with Nymans Ur.

Of course, many have seen what it looks like inside the case when they have visited the watchmakers; some may have studied what are called spring boxes where all the parts in stock are reflected in store, which gives some idea of how many parts go into an action. Photos that are common in magazines for collectors. But few have come so close to the heart of a watch action that they have been able to pick it apart in order under guidance to put it back together again and despite their unpractised hand to hear it

Thus, the great response from invited collectors came as no surprise when Mr Alain Amhof of Ulysse Nardin in Switzerland visited Krons Ur the aim was to introduce some truly remarkable watches to the already enthusiastic Ulysse collectors and other customers who are seriously interested in watches. Mr Amhof and staff from Krons Ur presented the latest range of models flown in from Le Locle, Switzerland, including Freak, Sonata and Minute Repeater. The watch collection on display during the evening is the largest ever presented in Sweden and Scandinavia by Ulysse Nardin.

ticking and working again. When IWCs representative Edwin de Vries and his team including living-legend watchmaker Kurt Klaus came to Stockholm recently, everything was turned upside down. Selected watch collectors were invited to a workshop led by Kurt Klaus the man behind IWCs Da Vinci perpetual calendar in the 1980s which created a revolution in the world of horology. The respect that IWC received for its Da Vinci perpetual calendar model was the starting-signal for the Swiss watch industry, after the severe defeats of the 1980s, to dare to reclaim the watch market. Following on from the yes we can insight they gained at that time, things have been looking up for the watchmakers trade of the exalted Swiss school. After a good dinner, Edwin de Vries of IWC presented his Grand Complication in platinum. 200 g of pure technology luxurious enough to make anyone blush. 659 parts, hand-made and screwed together by the same patient craftsmen, so that the watch has both a mechanical sound and a perpetual calendar good for the next 500 years. Then each guest saw, carefully placed in front of them, a wooden box with a ticking watch action lying under a little cover of glass. One of the visitors asks: Are we supposed to take apart and put back together that? Yes! Olof replies. Just listen to what the IWC watchmaker says and it will be fine. Some may have broken out in a cold sweat as they worked, but after patient, pedagogic instructions from Master Watchmaker and his staff, the guests succeeded in both taking the action apart and putting it back together so that it worked.

Since the participants managed to withstand the difficult task, everyone received an IWC Watchmaking certificate. It was an amazing experience. It felt like an eternity from when I had got it apart until it was going again. The halfseconds hesitation before the action sprang into action caused me to swallow three times and flash a worried glance to see if was missing any screws, says one of IWCs devoted guests. But it was an experience Ill never forget!

Charlotte, a second-generation goldsmith and jewellery designer at Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, was universally acclaimed by the fashion press, notably for her beautiful leather bracelets with delightful Sweet Drops. The Swedish fashion press were invited to attend a viewing, with the opportunity to speak to Charlotte in person. Many magazines jumped at the chance of obtaining a personal

description of the work of producing these beautiful items of jewellery bearing the Lynggaard name. The beautiful, popular drops are available with or made of gemstones, in gold or silver, as little cages or made entirely of onyx. Charlottes items of jewellery are equally suitable to wear with everyday jeans or with a party dress, and recently they have been attracting more and more attention internationally. During the special viewing, lots of customers made sure they tried out different combinations of leather bracelets and one or more Sweet Drops. Many of the items no doubt found their way onto the visitors wish-lists.

Nymans Ur 1851 invited some of their best Panerai loving costumers to visit a very special exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Stockholm. Several extraordinary items were flown in for the exhibition. The beautiful surroundings of the museum, with old boats, scale models and fantastic maritime paintings, were a great ambiance for Officine Panerai, which has its roots in maritime watch making.

During the latter half of 2008, Ferrari introduced the Ferrari California. This is the first time in 30 years that the company has launched a brand-new model. This coveted model was first shown to the public at the Paris salon in October. The onlookers were transfixed and applauded when the car was unveiled. In Sweden there was a secret premiere for the Ferrari California one Tuesday evening in February at importer Autoropa ABs showroom at Narvavgen 19 in Stockholm. Almost 150 guests, specially invited in collaboration with Nymans Ur, came to look as motor profiler Peter Sundstrm together with Autoropas MD unveiled what may be the most talked-about car in the world. The first California in Sweden is Grigio Silverstone with the classic Cuio interior. This is the first time Ferrari has created a 2+2 seater car with electric hood all in aluminium which packs down into the boot at the touch of a button. The actual bodywork is by Pininfarina. Tony Ciccione of Ferrari North Europe allowed onlookers a coveted sampling of the characteristic Ferrari sound from the 4.3-litre V8 engine at 460 HP which takes the driver and up to three passengers from 0100km/h in 4 seconds flat. The first cars will be delivered to their owners during the spring.

Since this is my last tournament in Sweden, its a fantastic experience and yet an incredibly emotional one, too, Annika confided in Nymans Ur during the event. Naturally, Nymans Ur was present with a large display of Rolex watches. Annika has long been playing under the Rolex banner, of course, and wore her own watch with pride. This really was a golden opportunity for us to set up our display in the VIP lounge and invite customers along to this amazing event, says Gran Larsson of Nymans, himself an inveterate golfer. There was a record turnout, with the biggest crowd ever to show up for an event on our golf course even despite the clouds and the rain. We were extremely proud to welcome Annika to the Frsker golf course to play her last tournament on home ground, Gran concludes.
