With a name that says it all, the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds
reinterprets the concept of the scientific observation watch with
innovative designs in legibility – the integrated jumping mechanism
makes it possible to display the time in strict one-second intervals, the
one-second constant-force escapement ensures ultimate precision,
while the ZERO-RESET mechanism makes it additionally easy and
comfortable for the watch to be synchronised. The new L094.1
manufacture calibre stands out with an ingenious arrangement that
distribute constant-force generation between two wheel trains, while
the large dial is punctuated by a red indicator inside a triangular
aperture to signal the wearer when the watch’s ten-hour power reserve
is close to depletion.
AUDEMARS PIGUET
Featuring exceptional engineering techniques and
audacious aesthetic design, the gravity-defying
tourbillon has been given special attention by the
master watchmakers at Audemars Piguet for the
upcoming SIHH 2016. This Royal Oak Tourbillon
Extra-Thin is one of the best examples of watchmaking
expertise, the Calibre 2924 movement measuring in at
a mere 4.46mm in thickness, making it the slimmest
in this year’s tourbillon collection. The signature Royal
Oak case and bracelet come in 950 platinum, with one
version’s bezel bedecked in 32 baguette-cut diamonds
weighing an approximate 3.04 carats.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE
The iconic Reverso marks its 85th
birthday with a new vision of three
stylistic impressions – the Reverso
Classic, Reverso Tribute, and Reverso
One, each a style icon in their own
right. The Reverso Classic in steel
is available in small, medium or
large sizes, and features similar Art
Deco design inspirations and subtly
reworked lugs that are slimmer
and flow more smoothly over the
wrist. One main difference is that
while the Reverso has generally
been associated with a mechanical
manually-wound movement, this new
interpretation sees Jaeger-LeCoultre
outfitting it with a mechanical
automatic movement, meeting
functionality with user-friendliness.
