Mulberry does its very own version of the Kelly

Mulberry Postman’s Lock Satchel,wholesale high quality leather custom handbags, $1000 via Net-a-Porter

To me, the Kelly shape – a simple, arm-carried bag with a front flap closure and a top handle – is a classic shape that doesn’t really belong to Hermes so much as it belongs to handbag design in general. Much like the Louis Vuitton Speedy, the shape has reached such a classic level that attributing it to only one company no longer seems fair. And when the reinterpretations yield bags as different from the original as the Mulberry Postman’s Lock Satchel, I think it’s easy to see why I take that opinion.

Mulberry has experienced a ton of success with bags like this after the past few seasons, starting off with the widely loved Mulberry Alexa. This Postman’s Lock satchel cleans things up a bit from those young-skewing designs by way of the removal of the school bag-inspired fron straps, which gives this bag a nearly minimal look that will work for a huge variety of women. With its generous size and convenient crossbody strap, this would make a perfect office bag for a woman who works in a conservative office or who doesn’t want to look too flashy in front of her coworkers. Needless to say, this bag would make a wonderful gift as well. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1000.

TAG Heuer Introduces the Microtimer- The First Watch Precise to 1-1000th of a Second_497

TAG Heuer Introduces the Microtimer: The First Watch Precise to 1/1000th of a Second ,designer leather handbags wholesale

In 1966, Heuer (before it was TAG Heuer) patented the first miniaturized electronic
timekeeping instrument accurate to 1/1000th of a second. Now, 38 years later, TAG
Heuer releases the first wristwatch capable of the same level of precision: the
Microtimer.

Features of the Microtimer

F1 racing timer. Measurements precise to 1/1000th of a second. Time each lap individually, and quickly recover the fastest
lap in Best Lap mode. (Maximum lap time of
59 minutes, 59 seconds, and 999 thousandths of a second.) Lap indicator. While in F1 racing mode, the watch displays the number of
the current lap. (Maximum of 80 laps.) Total race time. In addition to the time of the current lap, watch the total
time of the race.

Alarm (sounds for 60 seconds). Chronograph (stopwatch) with split times. (Measures to 1/1000th of a
second, maximum time of 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds, and 999 thousandths
of a second.) Date. Dual time zone display. Quartz movement. Water-resistant to 100 meters (10 ATM, 10 BAR, or 330 feet). Scratch-proof, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Water-resistant, vulcanized, anti-UV treated rubber strap. Backlight (illuminates for six seconds). Low battery indicator (battery life between
2 and 3 years, depending on use). "Screen saver." Turns the watch display off when not in use.

The TAG Heuer Microtimer is a very unique looking, very sophisticated watch designed
for timing sporting events with unprecedented accuracy. The fact that TAG Heuer
was the first to achieve this level of precision is a testament to its reputation
in the world of racing.

The Microtimer sells for roughly $1,300.

Update (4/15/2005): From Watch Report reader Victor Shiff, "The 1/1000 timer from TAG Heuer is not the first such watch. Some 12+ years ago (from fallible memory), Casio had several watches with 1/1000 second (1 ms) chronograph functions, cheaper than $1300 too!. There is an unstated problem with these 1 ms chronographs and that is the contact bounce of the button contacts that the watch circuitry has to ignore. This bounce can be from 5 ms to as much as 15 ms and is not necessarily repeatable. What this means to me is the 1 ms is marketing hype."

Thanks, Victor. I noticed shortly after publishing this article that the Seiko Sportura World Time (SNJ005) quietly launched with a millisecond timer. Maybe what TAG meant is that they had the most expensive such watch, or perhaps the coolest looking. I'll give them that.

The Omega Speedmaster X-33_297

The Omega Speedmaster X-33

Say Hi to the Omega Speedmaster X-33. Introduced in 1998, this is one amazing watch. Omega literally flight (and crash) tested it with NASA and military pilots, experimenting with several design iterations before settling on and shipping two commercial versions. It was designed for pilots and space flight, and is rated by NASA for the mission to Mars. Without a doubt, this is one of the coolest and most interesting analog-digital watches ever made.

But of course, something this good just couldn't last. Unfortunately, the X-33 was made unavailable to the general public last year, and now you can only buy them if you work for NASA, or you're in the military. And if that weren't enough, rumor has it that you need to assemble an order of ten or more at once.

Features of the Omega Speedmaster X-33 include:

Titanium case and bracelet (for light weight). Domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal,buy a watch, coated on both sides. Omega quartz movement developed specifically for this watch (caliber 1666), temperature compensated, rated to ± 0.1 seconds per day. 26-month battery with low-power indicator. Water-resistant to 30 meters (about 100 feet). 80dB alarm — incredibly loud for use in a cockpit environment. (Finally, a watch that you could actually use for an alarm clock.) 8 lux backlight — practically flashlight-bright. 42.25mm diameter case. Day, date, stopwatch, GMT, and a countdown timer. Standard daily alarm, and a second programmable alarm. Mission elapsed time (up to 999 days). Mission time alarm. Shipped in a box covered with spacesuit material (nice touch). Bidirectional 120-click ratcheting bezel for timing with the analog hands. Luminescent "bezel pearl" for night visibility. LCD "stealth" mode. (Clean up the dial by turning off the curved LCD display.)

List price for the X-33 was about $2,600, and they show up on eBay and on watch forums every now and then for about $1,500 – $2,000, depending on their condition.

TheTimeTV - The watchmaking channel - Introduction

Feb,rolex yachtmaster replica

TheTimeTV – the watchmaking channel,discount rolex watch, and partner of Fratellowatches.com, has a bunch of new and interesting flicks on their website. Their +5 minute video on Urwerk gives the viewers a great inside view on how this watch manufacturer creates their watches.

From the first steps of designing a watch on paper, to CAD technologies, production and the final product..

This video features interesting interviews given by the owners of Urwerk (Baumgartner & Frei), watch designers and an introduction of the Urwerk employees. In the first quarter of 2008,luxury replica watch, I had the pleasure to see an Urwerk watch in a The Hour Glass shop in the Millenia Walk shoppingcenter in Singapore. An incredible timepiece! It was a business trip (non-watch related) and unfortunately I didn’t have the time to ask the sales person from The Hour Glass everything I wanted to know. This video answers most of my questions though

You never actually own a Patek Philippe

Oct,luxury replica watch
20

You merely look after it for the next generation. With this slogan, Patek Philippe seduces you to take the plunge on one of their magnificent watches. It creates some kind of justification to spend a tremendous amount of money on one time piece that could have bought you half a dozen other Swiss quality watches.

One of my favorites is the Patek Philippe Nautilus (ref.5711/1A) in its purest form: stainless steel and with hours, minutes and date only. However, Patek Philippe also manufacturers the 5712/1A, which is basically the same watch in terms of design or look & feel, but it features a moon phase, date and power reserve indicator. These complications make it the ultimate luxury sports watch.

Although purists may find this dial lay-out way too crowded,swiss rolex replica, it does save them from buying the ‘regular’ 5711/1A model and buy another Patek Philippe with complication to go along with it. To a certain point, I will call myself a purist when it comes to watches, but I would be able to live with the 5712/1A and pass it on to the next generation when time has come.

Henrik over at SubGMT is a Rolex specialist, both new & vintage models. At only very rare moments he has another brand in stock. Today,replica rolex submariner, it is this Patek Philippe 5712/1A he was willing to make an exception for. On his website, he writes Although it is not a Rolex, it is a pretty nice watch. Now that’s the spirit of a well-educated Rolex specialist. Only make exceptions for things that are worth making exceptions for.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712/1A has a self-winding movement with a 22 carat gold micro rotor. Despite the small diameter of the rotor – see the photo below – the use of 22 carat gold makes sure it has enough mass to do a proper job on winding the movement. The caliber 240 movement is only 31mm in diameter and a height of only 3.98mm, for a complicated movement, that’s stunning.

This particular watch is stamped September 2009 at an authorized Patek Philippe dealer in Germany and is in “like new” condition. The watch comes – of course – with all the proper documentation and warranty papers. The Patek Philippe serial number gives you the right to subscribe to their in-house magazine which covers all topics, from cultural stuff to the latest Patek Philippe watches.

This Nautilus has a diameter of 40mm and water resistant to 60 meters. In fact, this just means that this watch can handle a splash or shower and at least doesn’t let dust gets a chance to get inside the watch case. Don’t even think about going for a swim with this watch, as if it only were to prevent the carefully polished and brushed case and bracelet from scratching.

SubGMT gives this Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712/1A a 19.999 Euro price tag.

Thanks to Henrik for the photos.

Alon Ben-Joseph of AceJewelers.com – friend of the show – did a very nice video review on last year’s introduced Omega Speedmaster Professional 40th Anniversary Limited Edition.

I love this version of the Omega Speedmaster Professional. The logo on the dial and special case back make it worth buying over most other limited edition Speedmaster Professional models. I have seriously considered buying this watch after it was presented during Baselworld 2009,swiss rolex replica, but since I have had a few of these Speedies and cherishing my Speedmaster Professional pre-Moon caliber 321 the most anyway,replica rolex watch, I went for something completely different

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Ref.15703

May
01

About a week ago, I had the opportunity to give the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver (ref.15703ST.OO.A002CA.01) a try. This Offshore Diver was introduced last year (2010) during the SIHH in Geneva and except for its steep list price, I haven’t heard a negative comment yet. In the past,yachtmaster replica, AP already released a few diver (or scuba) watches as part of their Offshore series. One of them was the limited edition for Wempe, restricted to 175 pieces only.

Anyway,luxury replica watch, let’s not look back to the past models for too long and continue with the Offshore Diver 15703ST. Like all other Offshore models, the 15703ST has these typical rubber accents, like the crowns and the thick rubber gasket between the Royal Oak case and the octagonal bezel. Additionally, this Offshore Diver comes with a rubber strap only. Personally I am not too fond of this material in general (had one on a Panerai and have one for an Omega Seamaster Professional Chrono) but AP mastered to get a rubber strap that feels comfortable enough without being too soft. The rubber accents fit the black ‘méga tapisserie‘ dial perfectly and luckily AP didn’t choose to use bright colors this time to spice things up. It is a plain black diver’s watch that could be interpreted as an understatement time piece by AP.

One of the first things that I noticed about this watch is the comfort of wearing it despite the dimensions of 42mm x 13.75mm. My ‘regular’ Royal Oak watches measure 39mm in diameter which might look small for current standards, but these watches tend to wear a bit bigger because of the integrated bracelet and the ‘longer’ lugs. This 42mm Offshore Diver wears even bigger (from lug to lug this watch measures 55mm), but still looks very decent on my wrist.

As you can see on the pictures, the Offshore Diver 15703ST has an extra crown at 10 o’clock. With this extra crown, you can operate the inner (diving) bezel of the watch. The dial is very readable, luminova has been applied to the hour markers and on the baton hands. Furthermore, the dial gives only the information needed: brand name, automatic movement and the level of water resistance. The brand doesn’t need further introduction here at Fratellowatches, as I have written a lot about Audemars Piguet in the past. The automatic movement is AP’s in-house cal.3210 with a power reserve of 60 hours and a very impressive finish. As shown below, the 22ct gold rotor has been engraved with monograms, the bridge and other middle parts are decorated by Côtes de Geneve and the base plate has been fisnihed with a technique call stippling. More about these finishing techniques can be read here.

Although caliber 3120 is a very pretty movement to look at, AP chose to close the hatch by a stainless steel case back instead of a display back. As I had the pleasure of owning a Royal Oak ref.15300 at some point, I experienced the pleasure of looking at this movement once in a while. Perhaps it has something to do with ensuring a water resistance of 300 meters or that AP simply thinks a diver watch shouldn’t come with a display back, but the movement inside the Offshore Diver 15703ST cannot be admired. You just have to come back to this review and look at the picture above once in a while. Anyhows, AP did a nice job on the stainless steel back with an embossed ‘Royal Oak Offshore‘ logo and the large screw heads. Furthermore, the case back shows two numbers.

I have removed the numbers using photo editing software, but these numbers are a unique case number at 12 o’clock starting with a character from the alphabet and a sequential number at 6 o’clock. This particular model starts with an H, and should say something about the production year. However, this information is not disclosed by AP. The other number is the sequential number and is linked to the model reference.

Like all other AP Royal Oak models, this Offshore Diver comes in a very nice looking wooden box with a small compartment in the carton box for the manual and warranty booklet.

To summarize, this Offshore Diver is actually a Royal Oak Offshore model that I could definitely get used to. Although I like the Royal Oak Offshore Safari (reviewed here) and the Offshore Themes models, I always chose for the ‘regular’ Royal Oak models since they are a bit sharper with respect to the edges and beveled parts and don’t use piggy backing movements. I always found (and still do) the Royal Oak Offshore chronograph models a bit too expensive to have a add-on module for the chrono functionality. That just doesn’t feel right in my humble opinion. Luckily, this Offshore has a superb in-house movement inside. In comparison to the non-Offshore models, this Diver 15703ST has somewhat more rounded edges and I have to say that it didn’t bother me at all which probably has to do with the large(r) diameter of the case. If you like and if you don’t have any diving plans for this watch, you can exchange the rubber strap for a nice alligator horn back strap. There are even third parties that create very nice after market straps for these Offshores (and other Royal Oaks), APBands.com for example.

List price is currently 13.800,- Euro. All specifications of this watch can be found at the official Audemars Piguet page for the Offshore Diver ref.15703ST

IWC Pilot DLC Project - What Do You Think

May
30

Yesterday, I’ve received a number of pictures from people working on a new project, IWC Pilot DLC watches. They customized the IWC Pilot Mark XVI ref.3235 and Pilot Chronograph ref.3717 and give it a slide bit of blue by adding a blue NATO strap and a blue second hand. I personally think they did a nice job on these pilot’s watches and it is refreshing to see some non-Rolex customizations for a change.

As you can see, these IWC Pilot watches are now even more stealth looking as they were before. The technical specifications remain the same as that of their original brothers of course (click here), except for the DLC cases and NATO straps. The small blue hand ‘gimmick’ is a very nice feature imho. Personally,luxury replica watch,swiss replica rolex watch, I would favor the chronograph..

If you are interested in these customized IWC Pilot Mark XV and Pilot Chronograph watches with DLC finish, please contact me for more detailed information.

Update: Larger (and more) photos can be found by visiting my Facebook page. A number of questions have been asked via e-mail and are in the process of being answered.

Victorinox Classic XLS MT_15

Victorinox Classic XLS MT

As a former pilot, there are two watches that represent the absolute finest gear for flying: the Omega X-33, and Breitling Aerospace. Both are quartz and analog/digital, and have very different looks. Today's post is about a very similar watch that has a much more reasonable price tag to the Aerospace,breitling fakes, the Victorinox Swiss Army Classic XLS MT. I've not yet confirmed this, but I strongly suspect that it has the exact same movement as the Aerospace, the ETA 988.432, making it one heck of a deal. Specifications of the Victorinox are:

Swiss made, Swiss quartz movement. Anti-reflective-coated sapphire crystal. Stainless steel case, PVD-coated 'gunmetal'. Luminous hands and hour markers. Crown guard. Countdown timer, alarm clock, stopwatch, dual time zone, multiple languages. Water resistant to 100m. 45mm by 12m, quite large.

List price is shown as $1,095USD, but I would expect a discount from that. Let's compare to the Breitling Aerospace:

Titanium case. Night-vision-goggle-compatible backlight.  (I have no idea what that means, but it sure sounds cool.) Second timezone, alarm,replica watches, stopwatch, countdown timer. Crown-driven operation. 100m waterproof. AR-coated sapphire crystal. 42mm by 10.4mm, 38g.

(Picture snipped from the Breitling website)

You can kind of see from the pictures that the displays are identical, which makes sense if the movements are the same. You can also see that the Victorinox is larger. 45mm is large but not huge; I'd be happy to wear one.

As with many Swiss brands, Breitling bars selling over the Internet, but Amazon sells them with a list price of $2,watches replica,795.

There are two things I dislike about this movement: the lack of a second hand (useful for 30-second turns), and the crown-driven operation. It's really hard to manipulate while wearing it, which limits the functionality a bit. Nevertheless, I'm hoping that I can try the Victorinox, as that price is much more up my alley, and I really like how it looks.

Fashion Week Fall 2010 Diane Von Furstenberg

In my mind, there are two types of designers: those that make us think about fashion and its relationship to philosophy and art, and those that make fashion accessible and wearable to the average fashion fan. Each pursuit has its own challenges, but it’s without question that Diane Von Furstenberg has the second type of clothing on lock.

Menswear was a dominant theme in DVF’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection, but it was styled in such a way that it would be totally accessible and wearable outside of an office setting. Blazers were layered over floaty chiffon, a girly rose-covered bolero was layered over a suit, and it all looked functional and fun to wear. The textural layering continued with chunky knits over sparkly patterned dresses,high quality watch, and Von Furstenberg threw in a few of her signature wraps for good measure. So what does this collection tell us?

First and foremost, it tells us that DVF is still, and will always be,watches online, a master of print. If I had the cash on hand, I would be the first to line up to buy every patterned party dress in this collection, and there were quite a few of them. They were styled more casually than they might have been in previous collections, but the presentation choice gave potential buyers plenty of ideas about how to get extra mileage out of a fun dress.

Wearability has always been a great part of DVF’s clothing, and this collection continues the tradition. I want almost everything that she presented in my closet now. Yesterday. It’s of-the-moment,rolex 8570f price, richly rendered and will speak to a variety of customers.

The Seiko Sportura SLQ019

Remember the Seiko Sportura SLQ017? It's one of the new limited edition Kinetic Sporturas. Apparently there were only 1,olex 8570f price,500 made,rolexwatch, and only 400 of those were shipped to the US.

Well,wholesale italian leather handbags, if you missed out on the SLQ017, Seiko just announced the new SLQ019. As far as I can tell, it's identical to the SLQ017, but in carbonized titanium, and with orange subdials. In my opinion, the SLQ019 is one tough looking watch. I've seen the SLQ017 in person, and thought at the time that it was probably the coolest of Seiko's Kinetic line, however I think the SLQ019 is even more compelling. It's sort of the Darth Vader of Seiko's Kinetic lineup. It seems to retail for just under $4,000, however Seiko's are typically discounted 20-25%, so I would expect to pay about $3,000. It looks like it comes with a tool for resizing the bracelet, and an interchangeable leather strap, as well. Nice touch.

The Tissot Seastar Chronograph

I've always liked the look of the Tissot Seastar diver, and I like this new model
even more with the addition of a chronograph. There's not a lot of information available
on the new Tissot Seastar Chronograph, but here's what I've been able to dig up so
far:

Stainless steel case and bracelet. Water-resistant to 200 meters,wholesale high quality leather custom handbags, or about 650 feet (with pushers screwed down). Sapphire crystal. 3-subdial chronograph. Screwdown caseback and pushers. Quartz movement with 38-month battery. Date. Available in silver (pictured), blue,man watch, or black dials.

The Seastar's sapphire crystal is domed which apparently magnifies
the tiny numbers on the subdials. No word on pricing,italian leather bags supplier, but it shouldn't go for more
than a few hundred. You can find more information on the Tissot

Richard Mille RM 033 Watch

This page requires Flash Player version 10.1.52 or higher.

Richard Mille joins the thin watch craze in 2011 with their 6.30mm thick "Extra Flat Automatic" RM 033 watch. For the complexity of a Richard Mille watch case 6.30mm thick is pretty darn good. The brand makes sure to maintain as much of the signature look as possible in the design of the case - and they also made it round. The hour numeral style is not new, but taken from the Richard Mille RM 017 Tourbillon (that actually was finally released this year).

For the RM 033 (RM033), Richard Mille makes the hour numerals bolder, but kept the interesting ellipses shape in the center of the dial. This is about as formal and "elegant" as Richard Mille watch comes these days. I do quite like the dial, but wish the hands were a bit bigger or easier to see. To me, the shape of the hands seems to just go a bit oddly with almost art deco style Roman numerals. The rest of the dial is basically the top part of the movement. Around the numerals are lume dots, and there is more lume on the hands.

I love the size (and width) of the case at 45.70mm. Like I keep saying, the best thin watches are wide watches. The case is light and done in titanium with typical Richard Mille "spline" screws. Like I said, it was an impressive task to retain the iconic Richard Mille case architecture while trying to flatten it. Even the sides of the case have that nice inset look I have come to appreciate the the finely cut titanium on Richard Mille timepieces. In addition to the shown titanium version, the RM 033 will also be available in 18k red gold or 18k white gold.

The movement in the watch is all new. It is the RM033 automatic with a solid platinum micro-rotor. Having a micro-rotor is pretty much a necessity for all thin watches, and platinum is used for the weight, not just for weird bragging rights. While the watch doesn't have a dedicated power reserve indicator, the movement is skeletonized,rolex swiss replica, which includes the mainspring barrel.  If you take off the watch, you can see the spring in the barrel and get a gauge on how tightly wound it is. Richard Mille says the movement has a power reserve of 42 hours. The movement itself is just 2.60mm thick - which is quite impressive given all the styling that went into it. The movement is made primarily of titanium with some steel.

While Richard Mille considers the watch to be a "formal piece," it still has a lot of the sportiness we have come to love from the uber-luxury brand. On the wrist the watch feels light and solid - like most of their pieces. While it comes on a rubber strap, people are regularly know to switch out the straps with custom jobs. Richard Mille himself is especially known for this. I wonder what other straps options would look good on this watch? Price for it is rather high... but that is to be expect from Mr. Mille. In titanium the RM 033 is $70,000, $85,000 in red gold, and $90,000 in white gold. So get one right away!

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE RICHARD MILLE EXTRA FLAT AUTOMATIC RM 033

CALIBER RMXP1: Skeletonized automatic winding movement with hours, minutes and monoblock platinum rotor

Diameter: 45.70 mm x 6.30 mm.

MAIN FEATURES

(MANY OF WHICH ARE MAJOR TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS)

FREE SPRUNG BALANCE WITH VARIABLE INERTIA

This type of balance wheel represents the ultimate in innovation. It guarantees greater reliability when subjected to shock and also during movement assembly and disassembly. Hence better chronometric results over time.

The regulator index is eliminated and a more accurate and repeatable adjustment is possible thanks to 4 adjustable small weights located directly on the balance.

MONOBLOCK MICRO ROTOR

After the rotor with variable geometry that contributed to the success of Richard Mille’s automatic calibres, a new winding device is introduced in the RM033. By using a platinum, decentrally positioned micro rotor, the barrel can be efficiently wound and an extra flat skeletonzied movement can be achieved.

POWER RESERVE: 42 hours

BOTTOM PLATE, BRIDGES AND BALANCE COCK MADE OF TITANIUM

The baseplate and the skeletonized bridges were first subjected to separate and extensive validation tests to insure optimal strength requirements before manufacturing. The creation of these components in grade 5 titanium with Titalyt® coating for the baseplate and PVD coating for the bridges,watches for you, allows the whole assembly to be given great rigidity, as well as precise surface flatness that is essential for the perfect functioning of the gear train.

SPLINE SCREWS IN GRADE 5 TITANIUM FOR THE BRIDGES

This permits better control of the torque applied to the screws during assembly. These screws are therefore unaffected by physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly and age well.

OTHER FEATURES

- Diameter of the movement: 33.00 mm

- Thickness: 2.60 mm

- Number of jewels: 29

- Barrel arbor – in AP 20 steel

- Balance: Glucydur, 4 arms, inertia moment 5.75 mg.cm2, angle of lift 53º

- Frequency: 21,wholesale bag store,600 vph (3Hz)

- Balance spring: Nivaflex

- Shock protection: Incabloc 908.22.211.100 (transparent)

CASE

It retains the same characteristics and attention to detail of case design with a vast number of stamping and machining operations required for this round case with a total height comprising a mere 6.30 mm.

The design and execution of this watchcase typifies the complete conceptual approach to all parts of the movement, case and dial. As a result, everything has been constructed according to an extremely rigorous specification. For example, a casing ring is no longer used and the movement is mounted on chassis mounting rubbers (ISO SW) fixed by 4 titanium screws

The tripartite case is assembled with 16 spline screws in grade 5 titanium and abrasion resistant washers in steel and complemented by the additional integration of the lugs into the case’s torque screw system

SPLINE SCREWS IN GRADE 5 TITANIUM FOR THE CASE

This permits better control of the torque applied to the screws during assembly. These screws are therefore unaffected by physical manipulation during assembly or disassembly and age well.

CROWN

In ceramic, with double seal O-ring and detailing in titanium, 18-carat red or white gold

INTERIOR FLANGE (upper and lower)

In carbon fiber, with index points filled with approved luminous material.

DIAL

In sapphire (thickness: 0.30 mm) with anti-glare treatment (2 sides),

CRYSTAL

- Bezel side: in sapphire (1800 Vickers) with anti-glare treatment (2 sides).

- Thickness: 1.00 mm

- Case back: in sapphire with anti-glare treatment (2 sides)

- Thickness: at the center 1.00 mm and at outer edges 1.53 mm

FINISHING

MOVEMENT

- Bottom plate in hand-ground titanium, wet sandblasted, Titalyt®treated

- Bridges wet sandblasted, top surface polished by hand, PVD treated

- Locking sections hand polished

- Burnished pivots

- Diamond polished sinks on the bridge side

- Pinions with undercuts

- Sandblasted and rhodium-plated, beveled wheels

GEAR WHEELS

- Concave chamfering with a diamond tool

- Circular-smoothed faces

- Gilding (before cutting the teeth)

Minimum manual correction to the wheels undertaken in order to preserve geometry and performance

STEEL PARTS

- microblasted and hand-drawn surfaces

- sapphire blasted surfaces

- anglage and polishing by hand

PROFILE-TURNING

- lapped and polished ends
