This is it! The big news for Rolex this year, one that many expected and have dreamed of: the Rolex GMT Master II Pepsi 126710 BLRO. Why is it a dream becoming reality…? Because it features a jubilee bracelet, because it has a new movement, because it is steel 40mm diameter but mainly, it is STEEL. Yes, that’s a big one.
The Omega that many people have always referred to as the ‘Bond watch‘, is the Omega Seamaster Professional, which is already for some time known as the Seamaster Diver 300M. And now it’s back! Not that it was gone or anything, but it has been rather quiet on this watch. The watch that was once lovingly referred to as the Bond watch or the SMP (Seamaster Professional), and later came with a glossy ceramic dial, has been revamped and Omega is launching fourteen new models of the legendary Bond watch.
As surprising as it gets, this is the first time the iconic Nautilus receives such a complicated movement. It already features annual calendars, several chronographs, a weird display on the 5712, but never Genta’s brainchild has been offered with one of Patek’s signature “grande complication” movements, the 240 Perpetual Calendar.
The Carrera is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year. To celebrate, TAG Heuer isn’t looking at the past but instead remains true to its “avant-garde” identity. They could have chosen to go vintage. Instead, they gold bold and modern. After the presentation a few weeks ago of the new Carrera Heuer 02 Chronograph with an updated movement, Baselworld 2018 brings us the traveller’s version, the TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 GMT Chronograph.
We just introduced to you the new Navitimer 1 Automatic, a clean, historically-relevant and smaller piece in the collection. That’s not all the brand will have at Baselworld 2018. Breitling will also look at the other side of the range, with a true instrument piece. Voluntarily large, properly masculine, made with ruggedness and inspired by a past model of the brand, here is the Breitling Navitimer Super 8.
We already knew that some changes were about to come at Breitling. We’ve seen it with the introduction of the Navitimer 8, a brand new collection that we explained to you in details. This new strategy will be deployed over all the collections and that includes the iconic Navitimer 1. Here is the first (and drastic) evolution, with the Navitimer 1 Automatic 38. It is small and mainly, it is a 3-hander…
AMG. Three simple letters to most, but three special ones to others. Letters that stand for Aufrecht-Melcher-Grossaspach, but that is not the most important bit. The important bit is that they have been producing high-performance Mercedes cars for 50 years and have been integrated into the Mercedes brand for years now and can rely on many fans and supporters, often gathered in clubs or groups. Celebrating all things AMG, the Dubai based Group 63 club have collaborated with Halda Watch Co. 1887 to create the Halda Race Pilot Group 63 Limited Edition.
Last week, at the Geneva International Motor Show (where TAG also announced the Monaco Gulf Special Edition), Jean-Claude Biver (CEO of TAG Heuer and President of the LVMH Group Watches Division) and Andy Palmer (President and CEO of Aston Martin) announced that TAG Heuer has been chosen as Official Partner, Official Watch Partner and Official Connected Watch Partner of Aston Martin and Aston Martin Racing. That’s a mouthful… so let’s have a look at what interests us most: the new TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 01 Aston Martin
Chopard should not be forgotten when the subject of Haute Horlogerie comes on the table, especially with the L.U.C collection – launched in 1996 and representing the brand’s top line. The Chopard L.U.C collection comprises watches with beautifully hand-finished in-house movements. The first movement they launched in this collection was calibre 1.96. Four years later, in the year 2000, Chopard introduced the first L.U.C Quattro, the world’s first hand-wound calibre with four stacked mainspring barrels. Just before Baselworld 2018, here is a new interpretation of the Chopard L.U.C Quattro.
Chopard’s famous Happy Sport collection turns 25 and celebrates the occasion with shimmering mother-of-pearl dials and a new, purpose-built, in-house automatic movement… Introducing the new generation of Happy Sport.
