Blancpain Semainier Grande Date watch

Baselworld 2010: Meet Blancpain Semainier Grande Date watch
At Baselworld 2010, the prominent watch company Blancpain was extremely pleased to introduce its breathtaking Semainier Grande Date watch.

A part of the brand’s L-evolution Collection, which experienced its world premiere at Basel in 2009, the new Blancpain watch is instantly identifiable due to its impressive 8-day power reserve complication.

The accurate timekeeping is ensured by the manufactory-made self-winding movement – caliber 37R8G, which incorporates three mainspring barrels and a titanium free-sprung balance. This caliber has a thickness of 7.85 mm and measures 32.00 mm in diameter.

Composed of 299 individual parts, the movement is embellished with 46 precious stones. It can be admired through a sapphire crystal case-back.

Alongside with the basic functions of indicating hours, minutes and seconds, the movement serves to display a week of the year, a large date, as well as a day of the week. The movement also brings to life the power reserve display, which shows the wearer how much energy the mainspring is holding.

The new Blancpain Semainier Grande Date watch inherited all the emblematic features of the L-evolution collection, presented last year. The company’s new brainchild is available with a 43.50 mm case, rendered in stainless steel and red gold. The thickness of the case is equal to 16.25 mm. The watch case is framed by a crisp double stepped bezel. This timepiece is complimented by a complex multi-layered dial, marked with bold oversized numerals.

The water-resistance of the remarkable Blancpain watch is down to 100 meters.

TAG Heuer Lady Formula 1 Collection and Calibre 5 Lady

Carrera Calibre 5 Lady (36mm)

Carrera is the iconic TAG Heuer series first launched in 1964 and worn by racing legend Juan Manuel Fangio. The timepiece typifies TAG Heuer’s unique connection to motor sports. The ultra-feminine Calibre 5 Lady is available for the strong and sporty TAG Heuer woman seeking a piece of the motor racing legend.

This dressed-up interpretation of TAG Heuer’s iconic Carrera is embellished with a total of 73 top Wesselton diamonds (0.628 carats) on its white mother-of-pearl dial, stainless steel case and fixed bezel. The elegance of the 36 mm timepiece is further complemented by either a stainless steel bracelet or white alligator strap, both of which feature a solid steel folding clasp with safety push buttons. Water resistant to 50 meters, the Carrera Calibre 5 Lady will hit retail in the U.S. and Canada in September 2010.

THF1 Lady Steel & Ceramic

The 2005 launch of the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Diamonds watch represented a giant challenge for TAG Heuer which, until then, had primarily targeted the men’s market. Today, however, women represent 30% of TAG Heuer’s overall turnover. The ceramic additions to the TAG Heuer Lady F1 line provide new opportunities in this growing sector.

Ceramic is a multisensory material, soft and warm yet unalterable: like a diamond, it cannot be scratched. Strong and exquisite, it is especially appealing to women. Combined with stainless steel, it creates a sublime bracelet with butterfly clasp, perfect for the most delicate wrist. The bezel on the jewelled version sparkles with 60 diamonds. The black edition is perfect for night on the town; the white, for anytime and anyplace.

For total star power, opt for the fully set bezel version with a new bracelet in ceramic and steel, the ideal accessory for those seeking something different, not overly showy or ostentatious, and always in the best of taste, no matter the circumstance.
