CARL F. BUCHERER
MANERO
FLYBACK
CARL F. BUCHERER LAUNCHES THREE new interpretations of its Manero Flyback, with a
petroleum blue, black or champagne-toned dial, framed by a case in steel or pink gold. The
resulting compositions are among the nicest two-subdial designs we’ve yet seen this year.
Inside beats a particularly sophisticated automatic CFB 1970 flyback caliber.
FREDERIQUE CONSTANT
FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH
MANUFACTURE
FRÉDÉRIQUE CONSTANT FITS THE Caliber FC-760 with a flyback function inside this true bargain (under $4,000). It is
also equipped with a “Direct In-Line” function enabling instantaneous activation of the flyback function, with
zero-resetting and launch of a new measurement simply by pressing a pusher at 4 o’clock. Contrary to classic
constructions, the chronograph functions are distributed not by a column wheel, but instead by a star-shaped
wheel driven by a pusher, ensuring particularly smooth operation. Another innovation is a clutch powered by a
device based on two toothed pinions.

CASIO G-SHOCK
GRAVITYMASTER
THE GPW2000-1A IS THE FIRST Gravitymaster to contain a longitude indicator in addition to
a latitude indicator – adding a key function to record travel location and history for pilots
carrying out their missions. Other features include a sapphire crystal for minimal scratching
and a carbon band lock and insert, which prevents the watch’s screws from loosening due to
heavy vibrations. In addition, the GPW2000-1A features triple time adjust and G-SHOCK’s
GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor technology, which provides accurate timekeeping virtually
anywhere by receiving signals from six transmitters around the world. Price: $800.
