LUXE TIMEPIECES LANGE & SÖHNE 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. 98 GOLF ASIA 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.
