FIGHT AND FLIGHT
The new new Spitfire line in IWC’s Pilot’s Watches collection was unveiled at last month’s SIHH. To celebrate the unique engineering expertise of the designers of the legendary British fighter aircraft, all Spitfire watches feature IWC-manufactured calibres and for the first time, the Swiss watch manufacturer has used hard gold for the watch case – a significantly harder and more wear-resistant version of red gold.
VINTAGE CHARACTER
Carl F. Bucherer’s new Flyback Chronograph boasts an 18k rose gold case that houses a column-wheel mechanism, ensuring both precision and ease of use. The vintage character of the timepiece gets an elegant contemporary twist thanks to black and red accents and a kudu-leather strap. Taking design cues from Carl F. Bucherer models from the 1960s and 1970s, the timepiece captures the spirit of these bygone eras.
35 TIMEZONES
Glashütte Original’s Senator Cosmopolite distinguishes itself with unmistakable elegance: a black railroad chapter ring and black Roman numerals adorn the lacquered silver-grained dial. Released last year, the piece is a direct descendant of a 2015 watch that is widely tauted as one of the brand’s greatest editions.
CONTEMPORARY EVOLUTION
Audemars Piguet celebrated the launch of its new collection ‘CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet’ within the walls of its forthcoming Musée Atelier on last month. The piece writes a new page in the brand’s history and “represents its genetic code” – in this case, CODE stands for Challenge, Own, Dare and Evolve. The contemporary evolution of a classic, the collection provides a contemporary twist and a certain edginess to the classic round watch, while carrying on AP’s long history of unconventional form and design.
