Zenith Chronomaster Sport launched

For Zenith, the Swiss luxury watch brand founded in 1865, the goal was to step into the future of watchmaking. The brand’s latest watch is another push in that direction. Just this week, they announced the new Zenith Chronomaster Sport. This watch collection has the impressive features you would expect from this world-renowned brand. It is the culmination of more than five decades of mastery in sports chronographs.

This watch is designed for men who understand the value and richness of a second, and the many points in time it encompasses. The moment when an important decision is made. The moment you cross the finish line. The moment when the record was broken. The entire future may depend on any of these moments. The Zenith Chronomaster Sport is designed for these moments. That’s why this watch is equipped with an improved El Primero 3600 movement that measures 1/10 of a second.

Stylish design for all occasions
The Zenith Chronomaster Sport is stylish and stunning. It’s a watch that is both sporty and chic, and you can wear it to a business meeting or spending quality time with your family as easily as when it matters most – when you’re chasing your sports dreams.

You can choose from a black or white dial – both feature the iconic El Primero chronograph in tri-colour blue, anthracite and light grey. The indexes and hands are rhodium-plated. This bracelet is similar to what Gay Freres conceived in past editions. It is timeless integrated steel. For a more casual look, you can also opt for a textured corduroy-effect rubber strap with a steel buckle.

El Primero is the real star here. It is the latest watchmaking innovation and technology, and its performance is sure to surprise you.

Zenith Chronomaster Sport has a power reserve of 60 hours. As for water resistance, it can withstand pressure equivalent to a depth of 100 meters.

Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa Watch – PAM01391

Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa watch-PAM01391, diameter 44mm/brushed stainless steel material/P.900 self-winding mechanical movement/hours, minutes, small seconds, date display/countable dive time/power three days/waterproof 300 Meter

At first glance, the Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa watch-PAM01391 will definitely be attracted by its authentic nautical style. The red, blue and white color scheme is inspired by the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailing team. On the eye-catching dark blue fabric strap, the center Embellished with a sharp red straight stripe and marked with the word “Luna Rossa” in white, it points out the Panerai’s strong connection to the Italian fleet. The classic frosted stainless steel case and bezel are matched with a blue sunray dial, and the configuration of the red small second hand is even more finishing touch. The overall style is dynamic and elegant, with eye-catching color matching and restrained texture, which is standard for sunny men.

Panerai’s blue dials have always been treated very attractively. The sun-ray blue dial on this watch will change with the change of angle and light, and it will shine with ever-changing light, reminiscent of sparkling water. On the sea surface, the hour markers and hands coated with white Super-LumiNova™ luminous coating, as well as the red used for the small second hand, are the representative colors of the Luna Rossa fleet, which subtly symbolizes the winning team at sea. The line of heroic glow. At the same time, the word “Luna Rossa” is marked again at 6 o’clock, pointing out the particularity of this replica luxury watches.

FP Journe Releases LineSport Centigraphe and Automatique Réserve Watches

FP Journe announces that the Centigraphe and Automatique Réserve are now available in platinum and 18k 6N gold to suit your heavy (precious) metal lovers. In a radical departure from the sporty and interesting titanium case and yellow dial style released last year, the FP Journe adds a more upscale option for those interested in the LineSport aesthetics or functionality, without losing any of the watch’s technical appeal. Impressive achievement.

When FP Journe released the brightly colored yellow LineSport option last year, it did feel a little out of place in its catalog. Granted, I appreciate the titanium case and sporty aesthetic that the yellow dial brings, but it really doesn’t look like an FP Journe. The release of these two gold and platinum watches feels more in line with what we’ve seen from the brand in the past. In terms of size, both watches are 44mm in diameter, the Centigraphe is 10.95mm tall and the Automatique Réserve is 11.10mm thick. Depending on the case material you choose, both watches come with a matching platinum or gold bracelet. While the watches share a similar overall aesthetic, the main difference is the technical prowess of the complications.

The Centigraphe is a unique chronograph powered by the in-house Calibre 1506, a hand-wound movement with an 80-hour power reserve and finished in gold. This chronograph is actuated by a rocker on the right side of the case, rather than the pusher commonly found on most chronographs. Unlike many other chronographs, the Centigraphe is extremely precise and its sub-dial allows you to track 1/100th of a second, 20 second and 10 minute indications instead of the usual seconds, minutes and hours sub-dial. For an in-depth look at this movement and how it works, read David’s first-hand experience with the Centigraphe Souverain.

Compared to Centigraphe, Automatique Reserve is much simpler. Powered by the in-house Caliber 1300.3, a rose gold automatic movement with a power reserve of 160 hours; the Automatique Réserve has its own complications. The Automatique Réserve displays the central hours and minutes with a small seconds sub-dial, as well as a day/night indicator, power reserve indicator and a large two-pane date window. By comparison, Automatique Réserve is certainly more conservative (ba-dum-tiss), and in my opinion, it’s still pretty.

While precious metals are certainly not my thing, they do have an important place in the fake watches review industry, especially now that gold is “coming back” whether we like it or not. No doubt I would have preferred the yellow cousin in titanium case released last year, but I’m not the target market for these pieces either. These technically impressive watches should also be available in precious metals for those looking to dress them up and enjoy the extra weight and lustre that platinum and gold bring.

Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino Watch Hands-On

The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino, also known as the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Gambler, is another unique creation by Jacob & Co. conceived, designed and produced in a move towards their goal of dominating the field of absurd over-engineering Yet another, interesting, ultra-high-end watch — because such things do exist, and in fact have been for years.

Given that Harry Winston Opus watches dominated the mid-play naughty – widely and rightly considered the original source of haute horlogerie – creations that challenged the established limits of design and function – the early teens were all about Jaquet Droz Musical pieces, big brand complications with perpetual calendar, chronograph and striking mechanism. (A little basic research will make you realize how the value of these things from Audemars Piguet, IWC, Lange and others has fallen off a cliff, sometimes to 25% to 30% of the original retail price.) Why do I so? On the one hand, because I didn’t realize until recently that it was a common “serious complication” and not just a “disposable” lemon, and second, to show that there are so many people who can afford these things that are ready to hit their purchases (or even if they are not ready, they are forced,

Like it or not, the resale value of these once Holy Grail state watches is more than I can tell you about their current demand. Those who can burn six-figure sums (in dollars) when buying a watch have turned to watches that have any one or more of the following: 1) novel, 2) interesting, 3) expressive, 4) unique, 5) Simple appreciation. As with watches, the more boxes you tick, the higher the price in general. Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino goes to great lengths to tick all those boxes, and then some.

With its – no other words to describe it – absurd thickness of 27.9mm (i.e. an inch, then some!), it’s a watch that’s easy to admire up close…and the other side of the dining table. It’s as discreet as a 1940s Francis Bacon pinned to your head while sitting at dinner, like a sail. Its weight is verified by the multi-layered, multipurpose JCAM29A movement, which includes the Astronomia “vertical movement” with its rotating platform consisting of four rotating arms and a fully functional, fully mechanical roulette complication beneath it .

First, a few words about astronomy. Although Jacob & Co. created many distinct variants of this movement, it is still excellent in terms of its construction and function. Powered by a single mainspring with an impressive power reserve of 60 hours (maybe longer or shorter depending on model variations and added complexity), essentially apart from the mainspring barrel and winding and setting “bow” Each component of the (crown replacement caseback) plays a role in this four-arm assembly.

Four arms with a double axis tourbillon (which I’ll explain shortly as a triple axis tourbillon), a blue magnesium miniature planet Earth, a 1 carat, 288 faceted Jacob cut diamond, which also goes around it Self-rotating shaft, and differential drive sub-dial for the time. These four arms rotate simultaneously on the face of the watch in less than 10 minutes – it is this rotation that adds a third 10-minute axis to the tourbillon.

The time display rotates with this assembly, so to prevent it from being upside down while running around the copy watch face, a differential is required. This allows the sub-dial to remain level, the hands to be driven, and the entire assembly to rotate together.

The tourbillon and rotating diamonds may be impressive, but two of my favorite astronomical achievements are this differentially actuated time display, and the fact that each two opposing arms are perfectly balanced against each other. Here’s some cool “invisible engineering” to keep the movement from being overly strained by the overweight arm that pulls or pushes the precision-running train assembly.

The heart of this astronomy is, of course, its roulette complexity. Press the button at the 8 o’clock position of the case, the roulette wheel is forcibly rotated, and the small white ceramic balls fly. To prevent it from entering the movement, the entire roulette function is set under a piece of sapphire crystal. The functionality of this complication is reassuring every time the button is pressed, and the overall execution of its every detail is as spectacular as it’s damned.

The wheels are made of 18k rose gold with black and red enamel for its 36+1 pockets. As I said, the thickness is 27.9mm, while the case diameter is 47mm. Oddly enough, with the lugs being so short and angled sharply downward, overall wear resistance is another way Astronomia Casino plays with the senses. Seen directly from above, the overall effect is manageable—even on my narrow wrist, which is 6.75 inches in diameter. However, once I start laying the watch flat away from myself, it starts to show off its crazy case construction, topped by a generously curved sapphire crystal. Speaking of which, the strap is a single sapphire crystal strap that, when paired with the skeletonized lugs, provides an easy view of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia casino in action.

As shown here, it is a one-of-a-kind piece. It’s certainly far more fun to play than any traditional grand complication, and even if one isn’t a gambler, the way this movement is constructed is sure to appeal to watch lovers inside.
