Tuesday, November 20, 2012
We invite you to discover some product news of the BASELWORLD exhibitors.
Blancpain
Retrograde Calendar
Aesthetically innovative, the new Retrograde Calendar from Blancpain delights with its surprising dial, featuring mother-of-pearl marquetry and extraordinary detailing. Hour and minute counters are decentralized at 6 o'clock. The calendar is indicated by a retrograde hand, which consistently jumps back to the first day of the month. The ensemble of technical functions are driven by an automatic movement; rendering the timepiece a fine companion for active, modern women.
Hublot
F1™ King Power Austin
This year marks the grand return of Formula 1™ to the United States. The penultimate Grand Prix of the season will take place at the new "Circuit of The Americas" in Texas. As the Official Watch of Formula 1, Hublot introduces the F1™ King Power Austin, available as a limited edition of 250 numbered pieces. With its titanium case, resistance to corrosion and biocompatibility, this watch features unique elements which ensure it stands apart, created using diverse high-tech materials inspired by Formula 1™.
Carrera y Carrera
Córdoba
Following the resounding success of the Córdoba collection, Carrera y Carrera has created new mini-sculptures inspired by the geometric patterns of the Mosque of Cordoba. This collection captures the magic of this building – the details of its façade, the sweetness of the flowers and trees of its inner courtyards – and transports us via gold and diamonds to the quintessence of paradise on Earth. New lightweight pieces that let light pass through their openwork, generating mystery and beauty.
Palmiero Gioielli
Passione
Red is the color of passion. A strong, intense and overwhelming feeling, that comes from deep inside. A feeling imprisoned and embellished by precious stones and fine materials. It represents a complete and endless devotion. Large flat rubies become the perfect surface for drawing on an abstract concept as the feeling itself. This ring finds its maximum expression in the precious stones that colour and enrich the form - stones rare for their purity, quality and chromatic variety.
Certina
DS Podium Lady
The DS Podium Lady brings a dynamic, updated personality to a well-known line. In its new dress, it meets the eye with highly graceful yet undeniably sporty accents. Delightfully feminine and modern, the new chronograph brings together a fully-polished stainless steel case with sensuous, rounded edges to underline a bright and open white dial. A timepiece blending classical and sporty influences, a perfect companion at any time of day.
Jaermann & Stübi
Trans Atlantic
Many sophisticated golfers indulge their passion on both sides of the Atlantic. Because the distances for the holes are given in yards on one side of the pond and in meters on the other, Jaermann & Stübi developed the "Trans Atlantic". A table on the rotary bezel of this model shows the most common golfing distances in both meters and yards. This makes it easier for a golfer to select the right club, even though the distances on the course are not given in his accustomed measuring units.
