IWC
PILOT’S WATCH MARK XVIII
This special version of the Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII features the original
design of the historic Pilot’s Watch Mark 11. In reference to the year in
which the first Mark 11 was produced, IWC will make 1,948 of the new
watches. The model differs from the Mark XVIII from the current
collection in that the indices are thinner and the triangular index at 12
o’clock is not flanked by two dots. Like the original from 1948, the watch
is worn on a green ‘NATO’ textile strap. Price: $4,150
NOMOS
METRO NEOMATIK 39 SILVERCUT
In another example of Nomos’ less-is-more approach to design, the new
Silvercut has a 38.5mm steel case with a rhodium-plated, brush-finished
dial devoid of excess. Inside is the DUW 3001 in-house caliber with
automatic winding and the Nomos Swing System escapement.
Price: $3,840
MTM
The MTM Black 3-GER features COSC certified Valjoux 7750 inside a
solid titanium 46mm case. Four optional colors of DLC coating are
available including grey, silver, black and gold. One unusual feature of
the 3-GER is the ability to raise the protective bezel 1mm by simply
rotating it - handy for those times when the watch may be exposed to
extra punishment. A unique bracelet incorporates links connected via
machined and polished steel ball bearings – or alternatively MTM offers
a version with links connected with blue sapphire bearings (above).
Price: $9.000-$10,000.
RAYMOND WEIL
The RW1212, Raymond Weil’s first in-house movement, was named for
the Geneva suburb of Grand-Lancy, where the company resides.
Powering the newest member of the Freelancer collection, the
Freelancer Calibre RW1212, it was created in collaboration with Sellita,
developed and designed by Raymond Weil’s R & D department. The
black galvanic dial has a large aperture at 6 o’clock through which the
balance and spring assembly is visible.Prices: $1,850 to $1,995.
