HAUTE HORLOGERIE JOURNALS

IntroductionThe Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) takes pleasure in presenting this latest Haute Horlogerie Journal - Trends and New Models, now a fixture in its calendar of publications. Indeed, this third edition comes buoyed by the success of its two prede-cessors. No other publication offers an exhaustive and independently compiled inventory of the emblematic timepieces proposed by the Maisons in the Fine Watch segment. As in previous years, certain conditions have guided this selection, such as to include a maximum of four watches per brand, and to feature only those which display genuine innovation in their mechanisms or aesthetic. The result is a no less reliable view of advances made in the industry as a whole.

Nomenclature is also respected. All the watches in these pages are presented with a list of technical criteria which, as far as possible and based on available information, details the same specifications for each. A brief commentary further describes the reasons for their presence in this Haute Horlogerie Journal. In addition, each timepiece is assigned to one of four categories, identified by a colour: Classic, Design, Technical and Women's. All that remains is to wish you, the reader, the same enjoyment in browsing these pages as their authors had in writing them!

2013, a year of consolidationBY CHRISTOPHE ROULET

To imagine that Swiss watchmaking could carry on indefinitely with the same meteoric growth as in the post-subprime crisis era would have been unrealistic. Gaining 1.9% on 2012, 2013 was thus a year of "consolidation at a high level" (to borrow a favourite expression when describing these cycles), though no less another record year for Swiss watch exports which climbed to CHF 20.8 billion. Unsurpri-singly, mechanical watches performed best and confirmed they are the front-runners of time measurement. Representing some 25% of Swiss watch exports in quantity, they account for close to 80% in value.

A foreseeable result of anti-corruption campaigns, Hong Kong and China weighed most heavily on business performance last year, with respectively a 5.6% drop for the Swiss watch industry's main export market and a 12.5% decline for its third biggest desti-nation. Not that we should paint too bleak a picture. In the first four months of 2014, the value of watches that travelled beyond Swiss borders posted a healthy increase of almost 4%. Furthermore, the sector continues to take on new staff, creating an additional 1,500 jobs in Switzerland last year and probably as many again in the rest of the world. Investment is also holding up well. Far from battening down the hatches, Swiss watch-making is showing its confidence in the future.

This optimism is more than confirmed by the prolificacy of the sector, which is echoed in these pages. For more than a decade, watchmakers have invested in the necessary means to give ever greater scope to their collections, a direction further reflected in the importance these Manufactures now attach to research and development. The growing

5Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie

number of fairs intended to showcase the measurement of time offers yet another illus-tration of this forward march. Baselworld was the only real reference until it was joined, some three decades ago, by the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, soon followed by the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, which celebrates its silver jubilee in 2015. A trio that must now accommodate the numerous other events to have taken up residence in Mexico City (SIAR), London (QP), Munich (Inhorgenta), Paris (Belles Montres), New York (TimeCrafters) or Hong Kong (Watches&Wonders), to name but the most prominent.

Another sure sign is the value of Swiss timepieces, which continues on its upward trajectory. Latest figures published by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry reveal that the average price of a Swiss watch climbed to $791 in 2013. This is 5.9% up on 2012 and a figure that has more than quadrupled over twenty years. What's more, these are export values for a market which in retail prices represents some $60 billion. By way of comparison, the average price of watches exported from China in 2013 amounted to $3 and $21 for watches leaving Hong Kong.

Some see this as evidence of Swiss watchmaking's quasi unshakeable grip on the mecha-nical watch market. A matter of tradition, one might say, but this is only part of the picture. Switzerland continues to leave an indelible mark on the measurement of time, and leave the competition far behind, because it has shown itself able to adapt to economic forces and become that unique junction between cutting-edge industry and high craftsmanship. An alchemy borne out by the statistics of these past years.


Trends for 2014BY CHRISTOPHE ROULET

No timepiece can be too beautiful to adorn a feminine wrist. Particularly now that women make no secret of their love affair with the tick-tock of a mechanical watch. Watchmakers needed no further encouragement to offer them their heart's desire, some with métiers d'art, which certain Maisons master with ever greater perfection, some with creations as technically astounding, if not baffling, as their futuristic inventions for men - with an added dash of poetry of course - and others with collections imagined for her and her only. Granted, this isn't a recent trend but it is becoming more entrenched. As though watchmakers were realising they had forgotten something along the way. Or rather someone!

Colour is conspicuously absent from the year's new styles. Black is back, beefing up the contours of one or other sports watch or underscoring the virtues of a crisp, clean line, as evidenced by ultra-thin timepieces. Year after year, watchmakers take thinness to new record levels in a high-wire performance that is widely considered one of the purest expressions of horological classicism. Such wafer-like watches are an expression of sovereign luxury and mechanical mastery on an infinitely small scale. Indeed, with components that barely exceed a few tenths of a millimetre in height and tolerances measured in microns, hence their greater fragility compared with more generously sized movements, these timepieces demand a rare level of expertise.

The same virtuosity is apparent in movements, now prominently positioned in the horological spectrum. No efforts are spared in transforming these calibres into veritable


works of art. Dials are banished to make way for skeletonwork that will reveal the calibre in its most essential attire. This trend is such that certain watchmakers now develop their movements with the possibility of a later skeletonised version in mind. In a similar vein, where dials do exist they too have likely been cut away to allow a glimpse of the vital organs beating beneath. Thus the mechanics of time become a symphony written in harmonies of art and technique.

Where art, and its applications, are concerned, the preservation of rare and ancient crafts is now rivalled by a novel approach intended to introduce new techniques or established skills which have yet to express themselves on a horological canvas. Rose petal marquetry, bulino engraving, glyptic and millefiori crystal are just some examples. These artistic crafts offer infinite scope for expression to watchmakers who no longer conceive their activity in purely mechanical terms, but with a touch of poetry that renders each timepiece all the more desirable.

Which leaves us to contemplate watchmaking's most compelling complications. Striking watches this year come to the fore with an array of complex and innovative minute repeaters. Originally designed to give the time in all circumstances, in parti-cular after candles had been snuffed for the night, these dignified representatives of another age have been reimagined for today. A reminder that watchmaking can never fully pay its debt to its illustrious precursors. A reminder too that often, the pupil outshines the master.


Definition of a new modelThe four main categories of new model At the beginning of each year, watch companies present their new products. The distinction has clearly been made between watches that bring variants or a new design feature to an existing collection, and new watches that fall into one or more of the following categories:

A WOMEN’S watch is defined by the following characteristics:

• A woman’s watch is not a derivative of an existing man’s watch

• Mechanical watches are designed for women

• The watch is specifically intended as a jewel-watch

The characteristics of a DESIGN watch are as follows:

• Particular focus on design to enhance legibility of the watch’s functions, provides genuine added value and becomes an identifying feature of the watch

• Original movement, case or dial structure

• Contributions from the métiers d’art such as engraving, gem-setting, enamelling, marquetry, engine-turning, mosaic and sculpting

• Skeleton and openworked movements as an embellishing feature

A CLASSIC watch belongs to either of the following two categories:

• One which emphasises a restrained aesthetic and a smooth, flowing line, and whose movement is without grandes complications. This classic watch has enduring elegance and the forgotten charm of an indefinable era.

• One whose original launch dates back at least twenty years and therefore qualifies as "vintage". It is often an iconic model from a brand that wishes to perpetuate a defining style. Vintage constitutes an important trend in contemporary watchmaking.

WOMEN’S DESIGN

CLASSIC

The characteristics of a TECHNICAL watch are as follows:

• Any new calibre or original module equip-ping a "simple" or complicated watch

• Use of innovative materials or materials not generally used in watchmaking

• Advances in high-frequency technology

• Extra-thin movements

1815

In Socrates' day, an inscription on the fronton of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi read μηηηη ηηηη (mêdén ágan) or "nothing in excess". A belief shared by Ferdinand A. Lange, founder of the eponymous brand whose year of birth is also the name of this collection. The watchmaker from Glashütte embraces this principle in the new 1815, a reminder that the measurement of time has one of its most beautiful expressions in an authentically classic watch.

1815 TOURBILLON

When the crown on this new timepiece by A. Lange & Söhne is pulled out, the tourbillon cage instantly stops and the seconds hand returns immediately to zero so that time can be set to the exact second. Such a feat is made possible by the interaction between two patented mechanisms: the tourbillon stop, a prowess in itself, and the zero-reset. This unprecedented function is further accentuated by the watch's classic design. Limited edition of 100 for the platinum version.

Case | white gold, 45.5 mm ø, 16.5 mm high, sapphire back

GRAND LANGE 1 MOON PHASE

The new Lange 1 from the Glashütte manufacture turns all eyes on the moon-phase display which features prominently on the main dial. As always, precision is uppermost hence the Lange engineers have developed a mechanism which requires a single correction of the moon-phase display every 122.6 years. By way of comparison, a classic moon phase will already be one day out after two and a half years.

RICHARD LANGE PERPETUAL CALENDAR "TERRALUNA"

Whichever side is on view, this new Richard Lange timepiece elicits admiration. On the front, a regulator dial showing hours, minutes and seconds, perpetual calendar and power reserve in an aperture; on the back, an orbital moon-phase display which also shows the position of the Moon in relation to the Earth and Sun… this is the art of watchmaking from Saxony at its very finest. As ever, there are to be no concessions regarding precision, with a movement that includes a constant-force escapement.

Functions | hours, minutes, small seconds, "perpetual" moon phases

Dial | silvered

Case | 18k rose gold, 41 x 47.20 mm, 10 mm high

SAUTERELLE À LUNE PERPÉTUELLE

To quote the judges of the Prix Gaïa, Andreas Strehler conceives his minimalist movements like living organisms; no doubt why in 2013 he took the award in the Artisanat-Creation category. Equally remarkable, this timepiece offers the most precise moon phase ever built. Comprising just four parts, it requires manual adjustment of one day every 14,189.5383 years. Based on the Sauterelle, its mechanism includes Strehler's patented remontoir d’égalité which delivers a constant supply of energy to the escapement.

Case | 18k rose gold, sapphire back, 43.40 mm ø, 13 mm high, water-resistant to 50 metres

ONE WEEK SKELETON

This One Week Skeleton is the realisation of Armin Strom's longstanding dream to produce a skeleton entirely in-house, and in the grand tradition of the brand. The barrel springs, visible through the winding wheels, the blued small seconds hand, and the bridge cut-outs echo earlier creations. The decoration afforded to the parts combines aesthetic with functionality in a rarely achieved harmony. Limited edition of 50.

Case | stainless steel, sapphire crystal and sapphire back, screwed crown, black ceramic pushers, 42 mm ø, water-resistant to 100 metres

ROYAL OAK CHRONOGRAPH

Audemars Piguet applies the magic of precious stones to a generously sized sports watch. Each of the rose gold surfaces, from the case to the lugs, from the dial to the bracelet, have been paved with diamonds: a total of 966 stones, graded IF, for approximately 7.9 carats. Driven by a mechanical movement, this timepiece is resolutely aimed at the growing ranks of women for whom a watch can be nothing but mechanical.

ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE CHRONOGRAPH

Audemars Piguet trains the spotlight on the Royal Oak Offshore, a style that made its debut in 1993. This year it comes as six new versions with a more sculpted aesthetic and a design that emphasises technique, evidenced by the crown-guard, and the ceramic crown and pushers. A variant of the Navy, this model from the new collection stands out for its royal blue dial and rubber strap with contrasting orange chronograph hands.

ROYAL OAK CONCEPT GMT TOURBILLON

After a 2011 version with titanium case paired with a bezel, crown and pusher in black ceramic, the Tourbillon Royal Oak Concept GMT intro-duces a chromatic change. This new Royal Oak Concept, which debuted in 2002 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this iconic Audemars Piguet watch, opts for a bezel, crown and pusher in white ceramic. This same ceramic also finds its way into the movement, in the hourglass-shaped upper bridge.

ROYAL OAK OFFSHORE DIVER

This new style completes the line-up of Royal Oak Offshore Diver watches, all water-resistant to 300 metres and protected by an anti-magnetic inner case. Audemars Piguet presents a version whose bezel, case, crown and pushers are in white ceramic, even more resistant than black ceramic to make this watch virtually impossible to scratch. The unidirec-tional bezel for calculating dive time is operated by a screw-locked crown at 10 o'clock.

CLIFTON 30 MM

Introduced in 2013, the Clifton collection takes its style cue from a 1950s watch. Joining the range this year are models with a 30 mm case. The silver-toned dial displays the date in an aperture. Gold-toned numerals and hour markers, along with the steel link bracelet, make this a lively and at the same time classic design.

CLIFTON CHRONOGRAPH

A new addition to the Clifton family, this chrono-graph is driven by a Swiss-made, self-winding mechanical movement with an established reputation as a hard-wearing, reliable calibre. As well as the chronograph indications, day and date are displayed in a double aperture. Elegant and cosmopolitan, this is a precision timepiece on which time has no hold.

CLIFTON 1892 FLYING TOURBILLON

An exceptional timepiece in a limited edition of 30, this watch is driven by a hand-wound calibre, regulated by a flying tourbillon and produced by Manufacture ValFleurier. Superlative finishing and the fact that each movement is assembled from start to finish by the same watchmaker are signs of masterful craftsmanship. Known for its complex execution, the flying tourbillon allows a clear view of its cage as it rotates once a minute, unobstructed by any bridge.

CLIFTON RETROGRADE DATE

The star of the 2014 launches, this watch confirms Baume & Mercier's determination to give horophiles a complication watch that is both functional and affordable. The generous size leaves ample room for hours, minutes and seconds, while the harmo-nious arrangement of the different indications adds to legibility.

H3 CENTRAL FLYING TOURBILLON AND MINUTE REPEATER

True to form, Beat Haldimann confounds expec-tations with the H3, the first watch to combine a central flying tourbillon, a feat in itself, with a minute repeater. There is to be no "reading" the time - hands are conspicuous by their absence. Instead, hours and minutes are counted in chimes. In an additional refinement, an auxiliary dial on the back allows the wearer to correctly set the repeater mechanism and thus rest assured that the chiming melody corres-ponds to the time that governs our days.

VILLERET CARROUSEL MOON PHASES

Blancpain's two iconic complications are brought together for the first time, and in the splendid company of a Grand Feu enamel dial. Long overshadowed by the tourbillon, Blancpain restored the carrousel to the spotlight in 2008 when it unveiled the first ever flying carrousel to perform a one-minute rotation. This mechanical prowess returns alongside a moon-phase complication. A serpentine hand points to the date around the circumference of the dial.

VILLERET 8-DAY PERPETUAL CALENDAR

This perpetual calendar displays its functions with a pleasing symmetry that recalls the pocket watches of days gone by. Blancpain's new self-winding movement keeps track of the varying lengths of the month and of leap years without any need for adjustment until 2100. Calendar indications and moon phases are easily adjusted by means of correctors which, concealed under the lugs, are invisible on the wrist.

Twenty-five years after the launch of Calibre 25, then the first and thinnest flying tourbillon on a self-winding wristwatch, Blancpain returns to this complication which it endows with greater autonomy. A single barrel guarantees the excep-tional 12-day power reserve of this self-winding tourbillon, whose cage has been enlarged to allow a clear view of the balance and escape wheel design.

Boucheron returns to one of its iconic watches, first imagined in 1947. In this new, larger interpre-tation, delicately polished vertical gadroons soften the geometric case. The hour marker at 12 on the white dial is symbolised by a blue sapphire. A self-winding mechanical movement drives the hour and minute hands.

ÉPURE OURSIN

Boucheron gives another lesson in rare crafts with its Épure d'Art watches. Timekeeping functions, courtesy of a Girard-Perregaux Manufacture calibre, are pared to the strict essential, leaving pride of place to gold and marquetry, a work reminiscent of Florentine cabinets of the Renaissance. The sea-urchin dial of this Épure d’Art Oursin is paved with white diamonds, blue sapphires and lacquered gold cabochons.

The Amadeo Fleurier collection welcomes the arrival of a 36 mm diameter model in steel. Introduced in 2010 across the range, the Amadeo case converts effortlessly from a wristwatch to a table clock or a pendant watch, without any need for tools. The Amadeo system was further miniaturised for the "Miss Audrey" watch without compromising its perfect functioning. The dial of this new timepiece comes to life in pastel shades of turquoise or purple.

CLASSIQUE TOURBILLON PERPETUAL CALENDAR 3797

Joining the perpetual calendars already in the Classique collection, this new version is fitted with the Calibre 3797 which emphasises intuitive reading of the many timekeeping and calendar indications. To achieve this legibility, Breguet has played on different depths, lifting the hours and minutes chapter to the foreground in order to highlight this essential display. A second look takes in each of the remaining indications.

CLASSIQUE DAME 9068

From its very beginnings, Breguet has taken care to imagine timepieces specifically for women. Rather than simply adding precious gems to existing designs for men, in Breguet's day the company was already crafting mechanical watches for its female admirers. Carrying on in this vein, its collections continue to propose timepieces of similar ilk, with qualities such as a slender case, uncluttered dial or delicate gem-setting. The Classique Dame 9068 is a perfect example.

LES VOLANTS DE LA REINE

Breguet's watchmakers have frequently looked to details from period costumes when creating their jewellery timepieces for women. This year the Manufacture captures in a jewelled watch the charm of the bows and frills that adorned the gowns worn by Queen Marie-Antoinette of France, Breguet's first female customer. Les Volants de la Reine is a fitting tribute to such finery.

BENTLEY GMT LIGHT BODY B04

"Bentley" for the quintessential British car. "GMT" for the innovative dual time-zone adjustment system. "Light Body" for the featherweight titanium case. "B04" for the Manufacture calibre, entirely developed and produced in the Breitling workshops. A model of functionality, this travel chronograph is distinguished by its ease of use: simply pull out the crown and turn it forwards or backwards to adjust the time zone in one-hour increments without losing any precision in minutes. The date automatically adjusts to local time, in both directions.

CHRONOMAT 44 AIRBORNE

Breitling marks the 30th anniversary of its Chronomat with a special series that combines a technical look with the performance professional users expect. In the early 1980s, the company learned that the Italian airforce's aerobatics team, Frecce Tricolori, was inviting proposals for its official watch. Breitling responded with a completely new aviation chrono-graph that was tailor-made to meet pilots' needs. The elite team was won over by this original, functional and stylish timepiece, and in 1983 the Frecce Tricolori official watch took to the skies. The following year, the Chronomat joined the brand's regular collection.

LUCEA

Bulgari illuminates a woman's wrist with Lucea whose name is derived from lux and luce, the Latin and Italian words for "light". This new creation commands admiration with an ageless elegance coloured by the brand's style signatures. A round case and supple construction are matched by the Serpenti-inspired bracelet. Hinting at Bulgari's jewellery origins, a warm pink cabochon gem clinches the crown, adorned in its centre with a solitaire diamond. Indeed, Lucea has no need for further embellishment; in its most pared-down version, it is already a classic.

AMMIRAGLIO DEL TEMPO

Four hammers and gongs, a minute repeater and Westminster chimes, and still the inventory of functions proposed by Ammiraglio del Tempo goes on, as this new timepiece also equips its sophis-ticated striking mechanism with an innovative repeater slide. In addition, this new grande complication from Bulgari is presented with a detent escapement and a constant-force device, a regulating organ which represents the highest level of complexity in watchmaking. Limited edition of 20 in 18k rose gold and limited edition of 10 in 18k white gold.

DIVA

The Diva watch is proud to proclaim its origins in the jewelled values that founded the House of Bulgari. A reference to the golden age of silver-screen legends, it embodies the Dolce Vita days when Bulgari was inseparable from the world of film. The collection embraces multiple combinations of stones in every colour. The epitome of feminine charm, it plays on the modular geometric designs explored in the jewellery collection of the same name.

OCTO FINISSIMO TOURBILLON

Bulgari has created nothing less than the world's thinnest flying tourbillon watch in a movement that measures a mere 1.95 mm high. Innovative solutions made possible this quest for ultimate thinness. Firstly, ball bearings are used to pivot the moving parts. The regulator assembly has also been omitted to gain vital millimetres. Timing is instead adjusted directly on the balance wheel. The barrel is held in position and guided by three peripheral ball bearings. This solution allowed Bulgari to double the height of the mainspring for a power reserve of 55 hours.

Notable features include the smaller, 36.5 mm diameter (hence the name), the diamonds which move from crown to bezel, and the slender case which accom-modates a self-winding movement. A serious alternative to the original J12 with its more sports-styled 38 mm case. Four of the eight renditions have a case in 18k beige gold, an exclusive alloy developed by Chanel.

Since 1924, Maison Lesage has created elaborate embroidery embellishments for haute couture and ready-to-wear, each of which requires hours of work and consummate expertise. Now and for the first time, this talent lends itself to watch dials. Each embroidered pattern is unique and can only be created through precise and meticulous gestures.

GRAND PRIX DE MONACO HISTORIQUE CHRONO

In 2014 and for the seventh time in a row, Chopard was the official timekeeper and sponsor of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, an event which Chopard traditionally celebrates with the issue of an original timepiece. This year the Maison has chosen to develop a complete new collection, the centrepiece of which is the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chrono. This model, with its revisited design and larger, mat titanium case, a new yellow colour scheme and perforated strap, is expressly designed for the racing circuit and as a tribute to vintage Formula 1.

HAPPY SPORT TOURBILLON JOAILLERIE

Chopard introduced its Happy Sport, matching steel with diamonds, in 1993. The first mechanically-driven version came in 2013 to mark the 20th anniversary of the collection. One year later, the Manufacture takes another step forward with the addition of a one-minute tourbillon which draws energy from Chopard's very own Quattro technology, thus ensuring a full nine days of power reserve. Certified by the Poinçon de Genève, this Happy Sport Tourbillon resides in a jewelled case as a reminder of the company's gemmological expertise.

The watch trains the spotlight on the ongoing partnership between Chopard and Alliance for Responsible Mining, the South American NGO behind the Fairmined standard.

This independent body, which marks its 10th anniversary in 2014, is unique in the scope of its testing and certification is reputed extre-mely difficult to obtain. Limited edition of 25.

To mark the milestone of the Scheufele family's 50th anniversary at the head of Chopard, the Manufacture presents the L.U.C 1963, a watch with great emotional content and a natural descendant of the great chronometers of the past. It comes as a tribute to watchmaking's technical and aesthetic genius, and to the high-precision timing to which Chopard remains committed. Indeed, Chopard submits many of its chronometers for certification by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) and is one of the main beneficiaries of the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.

A single press of a pusher and one, perhaps two, petals disappear beneath the dial until a verdict is reached. He loves me… a little, a lot, passio-nately, madly… or not at all. This mechanical magic is brought to light by an association of precious stones, mother-of-pearl and gold. Four limited editions of 20.

Transposing such an escapement to a wristwatch is no small feat which Christophe Claret has achieved thanks to a series of complex technical solutions, three of which are patented. Maestoso's two barrels are each fitted with two superimposed springs. They release the energy required by the escapement while optimising the watch's power reserve of more than 80 hours.

Corum chose this métier d'art for two limited-edition timepieces whose dials are decorated with peacock feathers. On one of the two editions, limited to 25 pieces, the dial is framed by 120 round diamonds.

The dial, which has been hand-guilloché with a barleycorn motif, the spherical moon and star-studded sky are all classical references whose arrangement and execution make a very modern statement.

DB29 MAXICHRONO TOURBILLON

The five central hands on this chronograph watch serve to make elapsed times easier to read than on a conventional chronograph display. An important element of the watch's identity, they follow the curves of the dial. They are each crafted from blued steel, except for the chronograph minute hand which is in rose gold. Seconds and minutes are measured on a scale with 60 graduations, hours on a scale of 24. All five hands are mounted on co-axial stacked wheels, a complex system requiring immense technical expertise.

The case of Dream Watch 4 is also in evidence, with taut lines pulling against gentle curves. Ultimately, Dream Watch 5.2 is the product of ongoing research into shapes, colours and materials. This version comes cloaked in blackened zirconium, a hard-wearing yet lightweight metal whose black oxidised colour is impervious to humidity and air.

ALLEGRA

Originally a collection of jewellery, Allegra is now also a watch, or more exactly a jewel that gives the time. Indeed, this particular Allegra is as much bracelet as timepiece, and a nod to the day when the stars of the silver screen wore precious watches threaded onto cords. De Grisogono has imagined this new collection as a reminder of that golden era. More than time, Allegra promises to bring joy to women who live life in an allegretto mode.

GRAPPOLI

Clusters of briolette-cut precious stones distin-guish the watches in the Grappoli collection by de Grisogono. They have been set around the case in such a way that they quiver with the movements of the wearer's wrist. The same stones in a snow setting adorn dial and bezel to create an expanse of precious colour, with contrast created by the different volumes.

GRACE CABOCHON RUBIES

DeLaneau specialises in the creation of exceptional timepieces in very small quantities, a vocation confirmed this year with the Grace collection, which is a celebration of gem-setting. These Fine Jewellery watches are composed of a white gold bracelet which has been completely covered in precious stones surrounding a gem-set dial whose colour is in harmony with these stones. This Grace Cabochon Rubies is adorned with a rare gathering of stones, set over the course of an entire year by a master gem-setter.

RONDO TRANSLUCENT

DeLaneau's watches with translucent enamel dials capture nature's colours through the power of light. Before the translucent enamel is applied, a master engraver decorates each dial with a guilloché pattern. It is then enamelled using the Grand Feu technique to ensure uniform colour and depth while allowing the engraved pattern to refract light to stunning visual effect. Once the required finish has been achieved, a laser pierces a hole in the dial at 12 o'clock for a single precious stone to be set.

RONDO ICON

An independent brand whose production empha-sises hand-crafting, DeLaneau offers its clients the chance to own a watch that has been made specifically to their requirements. The Rondo Icon illustrates this possibility to perfection using a technique in which the company excels: Grand Feu enamel. Various enamelling skills (miniature painting, cloisonné, champlevé and foil pailloné) have been used in conjunction to produce this timelessly beautiful, polychrome icon. It is set against 302 diamonds which, together with the diamonds adorning the case, illustrate DeLaneau's equally impressive command of gem-setting.

ÉLÉGANTE

After eight years of research, F.P. Journe presents its first collection of women's watches, by the name of Élégante. The Geneva-based watchmaker has opted for an electro-mechanical movement which provides 10 years of use when worn and 18 years in standby mode. Indeed, the watch is designed to stop when a motion sensor detects that the rotor has been still for 30 minutes. When the mechanics are stopped, a microprocessor continues to keep time, hence as soon as the oscillating weight, visible at 4 o'clock, detects movement, the hands of the Élégante watch take the shortest path to set themselves at the right time. As a further particu-larity, the entire dial is in Superluminova.

HISTORICAL TOURBILLON

In 2013, François-Paul Journe celebrated three decades of his eponymous brand. As a fitting commemoration of this anniversary, at the end of the year he unveiled the Historical Tourbillon in a limited edition of 99. It re-interprets the very first watch ever made by François-Paul Journe, a tourbillon pocket watch, this time in the form of a wristwatch. This "queen of complications" can be admired by opening the hinged case back, a charac-teristic feature of an officer's watch.

The eye is immediately drawn to the applied raised numerals, which are hand-polished and brushed. Driven by a self-winding movement inside titanium or red gold, the Vanguard is proposed in classic and chronograph versions, all with a distinctly masculine dynamic.

7 DAYS POWER RESERVE SKELETON

Late last year, Franck Muller unveiled its 7 Days Power Reserve in a skeleton version that matches aesthetic with tradition. The 1700 calibre, whose two barrels deliver a 7-day power reserve, has been reworked with particular emphasis on the movement finish, including hand-chamfered bridges. Crafted in a choice of 18k gold or stainless steel, this model comes as two versions with a Cintrée Curvex or round case.

GIGA GONG TOURBILLON

In 2011 Franck Muller released the Giga Tourbillon watch equipped with, as its name implies, the biggest tourbillon on the market, measuring 20 mm in diameter. Now the brand's watchmakers have gone a step further and introduced a new compli-cation to this skeleton watch to produce the Giga Gong Tourbillon. The gong in question strikes the hour to indicate time audibly. Four series-coupled barrels provide a power reserve of six days or 40 hours, depending whether the strike function, which is activated by a pusher, is operating or not.

INFINITY SUNRISE

The new Infinity Sunrise collection expresses Franck Muller's vision of elegance and femininity. The dial, which is crafted in-house, results from a lengthy process whereby the "template" on which the diamonds will be set is cut from a solid silver mass, then adjusted to fit the mother-of-pearl dial. The sparkle of the diamonds, extending outwards like sunrays, is intensified by the shimmering mother-of-pearl. Both a jewel and a watch, the Infinity Sunrise is the epitome of elegance every day.

Incorporated into the sapphire crystal of the dial, a domed sapphire lens surrounds the cage, allowing it sufficient space in which to rotate. The dial is constructed on multiple levels, with hours and minutes on a smaller, offset dial featuring a Clou de Paris design. The power-reserve indicator is positioned for pleasing visual symmetry. Limited edition of ten.

The movement is entirely new and larger than in previous versions.

CAT’S EYE BLOOM

The coveted Cat's Eye collection welcomes a timepiece with particular feminine appeal thanks to the stylised peonies that blossom on its dial. These delicately executed flowers are crafted to resemble lace. They are set onto the hand-polished, mother-of-pearl dial then finished with a mesh-like overlay. Each of the flowers appears to have been embroi-dered. Instead they are fashioned from seven layers of material which are successively applied to achieve the desired volume and three-dimensional effect.

CAT’S EYE ANNIVERSARY

Girard-Perregaux's iconic women's collection celebrates its 10th anniversary with an explosion of precious stones. Rays dart across the dial, origi-nating not in the centre but at the 9 o'clock position for a visually dynamic effect. As well as resonating with the oval form of the case, this asymmetry allows the rays to be of different lengths to create a dazzling "firework" impression.

QP À ÉQUATION

When Greubel Forsey "tackles" a complication, it is always with the aim of delivering a result that is both technically and aesthetically accomplished, as once again confirmed by this year's perpetual calendar model. Adjustable in both directions, it incorporates an equation of time and the now famous 24-second tourbillon inclined at 25°. The key to this innovation is a coding mechanism which changes the different indications on the front and back of the watch. Simplicity itself to use, this is no less another tour de force from the brand.

TOURBILLON 24 SECONDES CONTEMPORAIN SERTI

For its tenth anniversary, Greubel Forsey showers precious stones on one of its iconic watches: the Tourbillon 24 Secondes Contemporain. The sparkle of baguette diamonds - 272 in all for 9.71 carats - on the bezel, lugs and part of the dial illumi-nates the tourbillon as it rotates, while an ocean of blued titanium evokes a maritime mood, with the diamonds suggesting the white caps of waves.

HISTOIRE DE TOURBILLON 5

Since 2009, Harry Winston has pushed the boundaries of the tourbillon, one of watchmaking's major complications. The adventure continues this year with Histoire de Tourbillon 5 whose movement is structured on multiple levels like a mechanical landscape, with a low-lying movement, bridges placed just below the surface, and the tri-axial tourbillon towering over the scene from inside its dome. The skeletonised movement takes further still this idea to totally expose the mechanics behind the tourbillon. So as to counterbalance the extreme lightness of the tourbillon carriages, which rotate in 45, 75 and 300 seconds, a gold bridge was created that would maintain the subtle balance between them, and make this fifth Histoire de Tourbillon a very wearable watch. Limited edition of 20.

PROJECT Z8

Project Z8 is the latest Project Z, a line of watches crafted from Zalium, Harry Winston's exclusive, zirconium-based alloy that is harder than titanium and highly resistant to corrosion. This year's Project Z is a dual-time model distinguished by clearly separated functions and a notable feature concerning the retro-grade dual-time display: while most can only be moved forwards, this one can be adjusted, via the crown, in both directions thanks to the additional clutch system, for faster and easier setting of the second time zone. Limited edition of 300.

MIDNIGHT DIAMOND SECOND 39MM

Harry Winston has worked with Blancpain to develop certain of its new mechanical watches whose movements include a flat balance spring in silicon. The Midnight collection is an excellent example, with three models including this Diamond Second 39mm. Small seconds reproduce the floral motif of the Lily Cluster jewellery collection and, with each rotation, successively reveal three diamonds in a circular segment. While a tourbillon may draw the eye deeper into the movement, the fascination of seeing the dial brought to life is the same.

One expression of the Cristalleries' unique skill is glass paperweights, crafted using a technique known as millefiori. The first of these paperweights were made in the middle of the nineteenth century. For this Millefiori watch, successive layers of crystal are applied to enamel to produce coloured rods, which are sliced into wafer-thin sections then assembled into richly embellished dials.

Never before seen in watchmaking and exclusive to Hublot, osmium is one of the rarest metals on Earth. As well as having exceptional hardness, it is also the densest and heaviest metal at 22.6 g/cm3, heavier even than platinum. In its compacted, crystallised form, osmium becomes inalterable in air. It brings its distinctive, blue-tinted sparkle to the dial of this new Classic Fusion watch. Osmium is crystallised by means of a highly sophisticated process which takes it to its melting point of 3,033°C, thereby modifying its structure to form osmium crystal.

One of a kind at Hublot, a tonneau case brings its geometric form to this Spirit of Big Bang. The brand's favourite "sandwich" construction enables a fusion of materials. Inside the case beats the new Hublot HUB4700 calibre, redesigned in close colla-boration with Zenith and based on an El Primero chronograph with date. Purists acknowledge this movement as one of the best Swiss chronographs ever made.

AQUATIMER AUTOMATIC

The new Aquatimer Automatic from IWC makes no secret of its vintage inspiration. The purist dial and dive time scale with 15-minute graduations on the internal rotating bezel recall the very first Aquatimer from 1967, while the narrow, sloping external rotating bezel and the rounded, recessed grips refer back to the Ocean 2000, a 1982 model designed by Ferdinand A. Porsche. The external/internal rotating bezel is an innovative new feature.

AQUATIMER AUTOMATIC 2000

Water-resistant to 2,000 metres, this new Aquatimer is built for professional divers. Like all the new dive watches in IWC's 2014 collection, it comes equipped with the new system of external and internal rotating bezels; the internal bezel can only be turned counter-clockwise as an additional safety guarantee for the diver. A clutch, concealed by a cover at 9 o'clock, transmits the rotation of the external bezel to the interior of the case and the internal rotating bezel, a much easier system than by the crown.

AQUATIMER CHRONOGRAPH EDITION "GALAPAGOS ISLANDS"

IWC confirms its commitment to the preservation of the threatened Galapagos Islands with this first edition to be driven by the IWC-manufactured chronograph movement. Part of the proceeds from sales benefit the Charles Darwin Foundation. The mat black rubber coating on the stainless steel case, a particular feature of this watch, is applied in a complex vulcanisation process during which each case is placed in a mould and bonded to the rubber by pressure.

The white gold dial is covered with grand feu enamel, in the purest tradition of this age-old technique which only a small circle of craftsmen still master. It imparts a noble elegance to a watch whose beauty is underscored by simplicity of expression.

RENDEZ-VOUS DATE

Jaeger-LeCoultre's leading lady adopts a new size that will delight the most slender wrists. The rose gold case, which is circled by a diamond-set bezel, encloses the Jaeger-LeCoultre 966 calibre, one of the smallest self-winding movements there is. The subtle ribbing of the finely crafted guilloché on the dial suggests the delicate texture of wild silk.

Three years after its launch in 2011, the Grande Seconde Quantième returns with a dial and a movement that bring new vitality to the codes of Jaquet Droz. In a major evolution, a silicon balance spring and pallet fork with inversed horns have been added to the movement. Insensitive to shock, variations in temperature and pressure, silicon is also immune to the influence of magnetic fields and maintains perfect stability over time. The dial is now double enamelled using the Grand Feu technique.

GRANDE SECONDE SW STEEL

In 2008 Jaquet Droz launched the Grande Seconde SW, a sporting interpretation of its iconic timepiece. This year the line is joined by the first version to measure 41 mm in diameter. The serrated bezel is unchanged while the Côtes de Genève pattern on the dial links this modern watch back to tradition.

Only a rare few craftsmen still master this technique. The blued steel hands echo the ultramarine dial, while the warm glow of the red gold case reflects the gleaming gold paillons.

TOURBILLON 6

This limited edition of six brings further confir-mation of master watchmaker Kari Voutilainen's command of his craft, from the new construction of the in-house tourbillon to the outstanding quality of finish applied to each of his timepieces. Apart from the mainsprings, balance springs, jewels, cases and buckles, every single component including dials is produced in-house. Such an uncompromising approach undoubtedly represents the summit of Fine Watchmaking.

VINGT-8 GMT

Kari Voutilainen adds to the range of timepieces fitted with his famous Vingt-8 calibre which incor-porates an additional 70 parts to propose a second time zone with day/night indication on a disc inside the subsidiary seconds. This watch, only a handful of which are made each year, always to order, is a chance for the master watchmaker's atelier to demonstrate its complete command of watchma-king's métiers d'art. On the movement side, the imposing, 13.60 mm balance wheel is prominent at 4 o'clock.

ESCALE WORLDTIME

Louis Vuitton offers its personal interpretation of the world time function. The dial is formed by three rotating discs, adjusted via the crown. The external disc, in colour and on two levels, bears the initials of cities around the world. The wearer rotates it until the reference city aligns with the yellow arrow at 12 o'clock. The central disc, which permanently rotates, is divided into two half-circles, one white and one black to differentiate between day and night hours. In its centre is a smaller disc, also in constant rotation, which carries the minutes.

EMPRISE YELLOW GOLD

Louis Vuitton captures a hint of Paris in the Emprise watch. The symmetrical square case, whose horns suggest the corner pieces on a Vuitton trunk, offers a crisp silhouette against the bevelled contours of the double facetted crystal. The strap can be in satin, or in leather embossed with a grosgrain pattern, two references borrowed from the world of couture. The dial of the gold version recreates the quilted fabric used to line the inside of steamer trunks.

Small seconds circle a date window on the white mother-of-pearl dial, while rounded numerals and hour markers stand out in rounded relief.

While the minute repeater is one of the ultimate complications, here pride of place goes to the large date display, a watchmaking challenge given the imposing size of its discs. Indeed, Parmigiani Fleurier first had to develop a sophisticated mechanism to harness the energy required for them to instanta-neously jump.

ARITA PORCELAIN

Watchmaker Paul Gerber, who is often referred to as the master of miniaturisation, and Japanese porcelain manufacturer Arita have combined their talent to propose a limited edition of watches whose porcelain dials are crafted using ancient techniques. Delicately painted motifs of stylised flowers and creatures embellish each one. Paul Gerber rose to the challenge of creating a floating suspension to prevent these beauti-fully executed dials, a mere 0.60 mm thin, from breaking. All these watches are driven by his Calibre 42 with synchronised triple rotors.

ALTIPLANO 38MM 900P

The thinnest mechanical watch in the world, this Altiplano celebrates the 140th anniversary of Piaget and its expertise in ultra-thin watches. A tribute to its 23 extra-thin movements, including the legendary 9P and 12P, and to twelve world records for thinness, this new model fuses movement and case, even using the back of the case as the mainplate. Shaving off vital millimetres, the entire mechanism and hands do not exceed the thickness of the balance, while the offset dial showing hours and minutes is set in the bridges.

LIMELIGHT BLOOMING ROSE

This creation offers a new interpretation of the rose, Yves Piaget's favourite flower whose scent perfumes the history of the brand. Like a rose in first bloom, as the case turns 45° the petals are revealed, first four then eight. This invisible mechanism recalls other Piaget timepieces, such as the Limelight Magic Hour. The black lacquered dial coordinates with the satin strap that is held by a pin buckle set with 13 diamonds.

Richard Mille puts women in the spotlight for 2014. One of the year's new launches, this watch is the mechanical synthesis between Haute Horlo-gerie elegance and the innovative materials the brand so loves. The new skeletonised in-house calibre features a mainplate and bridges in grade 5 titanium, in addition to a variable-inertia balance and a variable-geometry rotor. The patented crown construction ensures additional protection against shocks. An openworked dial with diamond-set centre adds a final flourish of exclusivity.

RM 19-01 TOURBILLON NATALIE PORTMAN

Actress Natalie Portman has been a partner to the Richard Mille brand since 2011. This is her first collaboration with the watchmaker, focused on the mystical image of the spider. Accordingly, a spider in rhodium-plated white gold, set with diamonds, forms an integral part of the movement as its abdomen supports the tourbillon bridges while its legs support the two barrels. Visible through the sapphire back, the calibre is assembled on a black rhodium-plated white gold mainplate, set with black sapphires. Limited edition of 20.

This distinctive, high-tech material consists of layers of carbon filament, impre-gnated with resin and positioned at 45° angles. The result is an incredibly durable material. The new RMUL3 calibre offers the same exceptional shock-resistance thanks to grade 5 titanium.

RM 63-01 DIZZY HANDS

A new complication in watchmaking, these dizzy hands transform time into a mesmerising display. When the crown is depressed, the hour numerals on a sapphire crystal disc rotate counter-clockwise while the hour hand continues to turn clockwise, but at a different speed. Order is restored when the crown is pressed a second time. The completely new calibre is a marvel of mechanical complexity and an object of great beauty.

HOMMAGE AUTOMATIC

2014 is the year of the Hommage collection at Roger Dubuis. Hallmarked with the Poinçon de Genève, as is the brand's entire production, these timepieces are a tribute to fine watchmaking and to Roger Dubuis himself, the "soulmaker" of the Manufacture who launched a first Hommage watch in 1995. This self-winding version lends a contem-porary touch to this classic collection which takes its rightful place in the Roger Dubuis catalogue.

HOMMAGE CHRONOGRAPH

This chronograph from the new Hommage collection is Roger Dubuis' unique interpretation of a classically styled watch. Elegant and functional, it retains the powerful aesthetic for which the brand is renowned. Rectangular pusher, sunray guilloché dial, a concave bezel juxtaposed with the flange, sleek Roman numerals… all these elements allude to a watchmaking heritage which Roger Dubuis skilfully engineers for the future.

HOMMAGE DOUBLE FLYING TOURBILLON

The double flying tourbillon is a signature of Roger Dubuis, already presented in the Excalibur range and in particular as a skeleton model. This year the brand introduces the double flying tourbillon to its Hommage collection. So as to emphasise its mechanical beauty, the display is deliberately simple while the hand-cut, guilloché dial accentuates the double escapement with differential. Furthermore, the hand guilloché is unique to each piece, making every watch one of a kind.

HOMMAGE FLYING TOURBILLON TRIBUTE TO MR ROGER DUBUIS

This is Roger Dubuis' tribute to its founding father, Mr Roger Dubuis, maker of the very first Hommage watch in 1995. As such, it shares the same functions as a watch which Mr Dubuis launched in 2003, namely a flying tourbillon – a complication for which the brand is renowned – with a power reserve and a large date in a window. The result is a watch of great elegance, distinguished by the contrast of alternating circles on the dial. A limited edition of 208, in reference to Mr Dubuis' registration number when a pupil at the Geneva Watchmaking School.

This Magister Tourbillon wristwatch incorporates a titanium case and is automati-cally wound by micro-rotor. Whereas a traditional Haute Horlogerie tourbillon takes two weeks to assemble, the movement of the Magister Tourbillon is designed to be assembled and regulated in just two days. A feat of technique that is set to make its mark.

The sounding of the passing hours and of hours, quarters and minutes on demand is powered by the same barrel, which is either partially wound by activating the repeater slide at 9 o'clock on the caseband, or fully wound by turning the crown anti-clockwise. Turning the crown clockwise winds a second barrel which supplies energy to the movement with its 50-hour power reserve. Limited edition of 20.

A wrist-borne universe: this new Poetic Compli-cation replicates the position of six planets and their movement around the Sun in the same time as their heavenly counterparts. Earth, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are each represented by a hand-carved hard stone, and brought to life by an extraordinarily complex mechanism. While Mars takes 687 days to orbit the dial, Mercury does so in just 88 days. Time is shown by a shooting star which circles the edge of the dial. Day, month and year are displayed in two apertures in the back of the case.

Imagined as a picture of the heavens in miniature, this extraordinary dial offers a lesson in Greek mythology. A fearsome creature watches over the Golden Fleece; Cassiopeia makes a proud figure; Zeus takes the form of a swan to seduce Leda; the Great Bear and the Little Bear evoke Callisto, the nymph transformed by Hera, and her son Arcas. They are portrayed in grisaille enamel, a technique which creates dramatic effects of light and shadow, spotlighted with dots of yellow gold.

The Heure d’ici – home time – appears in an aperture at the top of the dial. The Heure d’ailleurs – the second time zone – is shown in an aperture lower on the dial. They simultaneously jump thanks to a single sector that synchronises the two hour discs and the retrograde minute hand. With the same concern for crisp elegance, a single crown winds the movement, and sets both time zones and the minutes.

DEEP SPACE TOURBILLON

Vianney Halter takes watchmaking to the final frontier with the Deep Space Tourbillon. Protected beneath a sapphire dome, a triple-axis tourbillon spins in the centre of the watch, circled by a classic "railroad" scale. Two hands in blued steel emerge from the edge of the watch to curve above the tourbillon which spins once in 40 seconds. It is mounted in an ultra-lightweight structure that rotates in six minutes around a second axis, perpendicular to the tourbillon carriage. The entire mechanism is mounted in a cradle that spins horizontally in 30 minutes.

EL PRIMERO 410

Collectors are well-acquainted with the movement that beats inside this latest model from Zenith: the Calibre 410. Launched in 1969 as a variation on the legendary El Primero, it combines the performance of one of the most precise series-produced, self-winding chronographs with a triple calendar and moon phases. This new interpretation of an eternal favourite matches past with present: the dial layout is true to the vintage model while the case can claim an undeniably contemporary design.

EL PRIMERO LIGHTWEIGHT

Zenith has chosen high-tech materials for this sports-styled version of the legendary El Primero chrono with the aim of shedding weight and boosting performance. Firstly, the movement bridges are machined from lightweight but also hard-wearing titanium. The lever and escape wheel are in silicon, which has anti-magnetic properties, is three and a half times lighter than conventional alloys, harder than steel and delivers excellent performance. As for the carbon and aluminium case with titanium pushers and crown, it reveals the true nature of this ultra-sporty chrono. Limited edition of 250.

PILOT TYPE 20 GRAND FEU

The new Pilot Type 20 Grand Feu is powered by Calibre 5011K, a movement that made history in the 1960s by beating every record for precision in its category. The transparent case middle and back allow a clear view of this hand-wound mechanical movement. The 60 mm diameter offers ample scope for exceptional finishing. The sides and back of the movement, as well as the gold lugs and bezel, are hand-engraved and chased across their entire surface with scrolls and garland patterns in the spirit of tradi-tional fine watchmaking. Limited edition of 10.

EL PRIMERO SYNOPSIS

The El Primero Synopsis capitalises on a legendary movement and stays true to several Zenith style signatures. Hours, minutes and small seconds, at 9 o'clock, are precisely displayed thanks to the El Primero 4613 calibre which beats at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations/hour. The regulating organ, driven by a silicon escapement, is visible through an opening in the dial. Avant-garde silicon represents a major breakthrough in mechanical watchmaking's quest to eliminate the need for lubricant.
