THE RIGHT MIX

Through collections that blend astounding design with innovation, TIME ’N STYLE sheds light on a few hot, new introductions that awe with their looks and substance

Audemars Piguet

Model: Royal Oak Offshore
Ladycat Chronograph
Description: Dedicated to the Ladycat sailing team, Audemars Piguet’s latest addition to its extreme sports model, Royal Oak Offshore, the Royal Oak Offshore Ladycat Chronograph tries to emulate its namesake, internally and externally. A fuchsia-coloured rubber strap clothes the crown, bezel and push-pieces, adding to the watch’s feminine exterior. The fuchsia hour-markers, hands and sweep seconds hand, set against the black ‘Méga Tapisserie’ background, effectively combine the Ladycat colours with signature features of the Royal Oak Offshore collection. The crown of diamonds that encircles the dial adds elegance to the sporty watch.

Cartier

Model: Santos Triple 100
Description: The Cartier Santos Triple 100 is an extra large watch set entirely in precious stones. This watch combines a rotating-dial mechanism with a skeleton movement. By turning the winding crown, the watch reveals three different dial faces. A classic face with 12 Roman numerals, a chequered dial with round diamonds and black sapphires, and a face engraved with a tiger’s head, can be activated using the miniature gear trains that cause mobile prisms within the watch to swivel gradually. This exquisite timepiece is limited to just 20 pieces.

Jaeger-LeCoultre

Model: Reverso Squadra World Chronograph Polo Fields
Description: The Reverso Squadra World Chronograph Polo Fields is the first in the line of Reverso watches to use ceramic in its case. The highlight of this watch is the back dial featuring not only the time zones, but also a mention of polo fields. With its sturdy, elegant design and avant-garde technology, the Reverso Squadra World Chronograph Polo Fields is made to suit the needs of polo players.

Hermès

Model: Arceau Acier Serti (Arceau in diamond-set steel)
Description: This watch is the latest addition to the Arceau watches, which were designed 30 years ago by Henri d’Origny. The watch makes an impact thanks to its stirrup-shaped lug that brings to mind the horse, a symbol that has always been associated with the house of luxury. The steel case is adorned by a diamond-set bezel. The large, slanting Arabic numbers playfully stand out of the elegant, understated mother-of-pearl dial, available in pink or white. The watch comes with an option of five matching straps, in either calfskin or alligator leather.

Blancpaini

Model: Carrousel Volant Une Minute
Description: Renowned for introducing the thinnest tourbillon, Blancpain, with its new addition renews the karussel technology invented by watchmaker Bahne Bonniksen in 1892. The watch provides a peek into this innovative system through the ‘light shaft’ at 12 o’clock, set in the semi-skeleton dial that reveals toothed wheels, and hand-bevelled wheels and bridges. Enhancing the elegance of this fascinating piece is the 43.5 mm-diameter case, crafted in platinum. The power reserve is indicated at six o’clock and the date is indicated by two staggered rows at nine o’clock. The crown is stamped with the Blancpain logo, while the black crocodile leather strap is fitted with a platinum folding clasp.

Panerai

Model: Luminor GMT 8 days
Description: Entirely designed and executed at the Panerai manufacture at Neuchâtel, the movement of this watch consists of 321 components, revealed through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback. Three super-imposed barrels hidden within the watch ensure accurate timekeeping and other functions within the watch. The horizontal indicator, above six o’clock, helps keep a tab on the power reserve. The unusual dark brown dial is made in the signature Panerai ‘sandwich’ style that consists of two thin plates, between which lies the SuperLuminova coating that enables maximum visibility at night.

Favre-Leuba

Model: Mercury Chronograph FL 301
Description: This watch includes two features patented by Favre-Leuba—a bi-directional/ crown-locking system, which ensures that the time and date of the watch remain accurate. The watch is water-resistant upto 100 metres, and has a 44-hour power reserve. The 18 carat luminous hands and indices in pink gold are set on a multi-layered dial within a pink gold case. The watch comes with an alligator leather or rubber strap, with a gold clasp and twin safety lock system.

TAG Heuer

Model: SLR Calibre S Laptimer Chronograph

The user can also access the best lap time recorded.

Montblanc

Model: TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic
Description: The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic fuses traditional features with a modernistic edge. A no-frills watch, the TimeWalker Chronograph features a 43-mm dial, with distinct numerals and a standard chronograph in a domed sapphire crystal case with anti-reflective coating. A sapphire crystal caseback provides a look at the inner machinery. The fixed bezel in black ceramic, the matte shimmer of the black dial and the ceramic elements on the stainless steel strap stand out to provide aesthetic relief. The crown with the traditional Montblanc signet is also made of black scratchproof ceramic.

De Grisogono

Description: The De Grisogono Mechanico DG introduces for the first time a product of horlogerie that features two time zones, one in an analogue display, and the other in a mechanical digital display. A first of its kind, the Mechanico DG movement comprises no less than 651 elements and combines a conventional hours and minutes display on top, with a digital time display of a second time zone at the bottom. Encased in titanium, the dial features sapphire crystal on the front and back, and green or gold dauphine hands. This avant-garde watch is limited to 117 pieces.

Longines
Model: Conquest
Description: Designed with demanding sportsmen in mind, the Longines Conquest brings together exemplary technical features with aesthetics. With a chronograph and date function along with an hour, minutes and seconds display, the watch is encased in reflective sapphire crystal and is water-resistant upto 300 metres.
