It perfectly combines the most sophisticated technology elements of racing car and watch. To support the Only Watch Charity Auction and fund the research of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Chopard released the Only Watch L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon.

The L.U.C Calibre 1TRM movement is supportec by three lever arm, as if suspended in the middle of case. The design, research, development and production are completed finished in Chopard workshop. It offers 28,800 vibration frequency per hour and 60 hours power reserve.

The L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon Only Watch is a mechanical masterpiece not only due to its high-end movement, but also cause of the exquisite appearance nobody can imitate. The Titanium case with DLC plate is water resistant to 50 meters. It features the 35.4 x 44.4 mm large size. And in the side of case is engraved the “Only Watch 2011″ letters.

The dial inspiration also comes from the automotive world. Chopard uses the transparent design. L.U.C collection’s unique Arabic numerals and hour markers are blooming yellow and engraved on the back of anti-glare sapphire crystal. Hand-sewn black alligator leather strap with four ridgy “bones”, reminiscent of the classic car seat texture.

The new Oris Swiss Hunter Team PS watch is equipped with high quality Swiss automatic movement. It skillfully combines Swiss air and symbolic representation into the details of the watch. To pay tribute to Patrouille Suisse, the inspiration of dial is the dashboard. New Oris Swiss Watches Hunter Team PS has over-sized crown. Pilot can reset time even with gloves.

Breguet’s Reine de Naples collection is inspired by an early bracelet watch A.-L. Breguet created for Bonaparte’s sister Caroline, Queen of Naples. With their customary care and precision, Breguet’s watchmakers have created a symbol of feminine refinement in a contemporary jewellery watch.
 

Breguet Reine de Naples is specially designed for fashionably elegant young women. Crafted with the modern and stylish woman in mind, the curving egg-shaped steel case, the off-set crown, the white mother-of-pearl dial and the sapphire-crystal caseback are all subtle yet distinctive characteristics that blend femininity with originality.

“Bottega Veneta’s cornerstones – artisanal craftsmanship, fine-quality materials, contemporary functionality, and timeless design – lend themselves perfectly to watches,” explained Bottega Veneta Creative Director, Tomas Maier. “For us, this introduction is a natural step in the evolution of the brand. Working with the Girard-Perregaux team enabled us to marry Bottega Veneta’s core values with the finest watchmaking expertise in the world.”

“There are lots of small details designed solely for the wearer’s pleasure. For example, the crown is placed not at 3 o’clock but a little lower, so if you wear the watch on your left wrist it won’t dig into your hand. The band is easily adjustable, so if you’re playing tennis and want to loosen it for a few hours, you can do that.”

Designed expressly for Bottega Veneta and assembled from elements of 18-karat rose gold, the automatic movement offers date and small second functions. The 41mm case, meanwhile, is made from brushed titanium, finished with a PVD coating in the brand’s signature brunito color.

A curved sapphire crystal also covers the face and the underside of the watch which leaves the workings completely exposed, including a single screw which runs through the entire watch from top to bottom.

In order to celebrate the launch of Bentley’s new Continental GT, Breitling for Bentley has unveiled a special edition of its Bentley GMT chronograph.

This new Breitling Swiss Watches for Bentley Special GMT Chronograph is a 1,000-piece worldwide edition. It features a British Racing Green inner bezel and rubber strap. The multiple timezone display is another uniqueness of this marvellous watch.

Breitling for Bentley Special GMT Chronograph continues Bentley’s classic features: honeycomb bezel, fine polishing case, black dial and silver stick hour markers.

What’s more, Bentley has fitted its new Continental GT with a Breitling dashboard clock.

Hamilton was founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It has been the world’s biggest watch manufacturer and distributor of Swatch Group currently. Because it combines the strong American spirit and unparalleled accuracy, and the most advanced Swiss-winding movement and technology that made it stand in a leading position all over the world. And It is also connected with many famous Hollywood movies. Hamilton watch has become the favorite of many people.

Hamilton watch has a special relationship with aviation. In 1920’s, Hamilton had become the military watch supplier of armed forces of the United States. And its precision and stability made Hamilton be the designated chronograph of major U.S. airlines. In 1940’s, during World War II, Hamilton stopped manufacturing civilian watches. It specially focused on producing military watches for the U.S. armed forces. It provided a total of up to 1 million watches for the U.S. military during World War II. Hamilton Aviation collection watch continues the simplicity and fine texture of those Aviation watches in the war.

This new Hamilton X-Copter Chronograph combines strong aviation element and professional chronograph function. The whole dial is copter dashboard design. The propeller-shaped second counter is at 9 o’clock. The 30 minutes counter locates at 6 o’clock with “H” letter which symbolizes the brand name “Hamilton”. It is also the sign of Helipad. Shaking the watch, you can see the perfect operation of the automatic movement through the trigeminal propeller on case back.

This Hamilton watch not only has dynamic shape, its functions is also very special. Fahrenheit, Celsius and M.T.O.W are all included in this X-Copter Chronograph. Hamilton provides 18K pink gold and stainless steel two models. The pink gold model is equipped with brown leather strap. While the SS model is teamed with black rubber strap.

Like a genuine aviator’s watch, the new edition sports a high-contrast dial layout with bold Arabic numerals and a tachometric scale, which is actually usable. I mean, the Longines Lindbergh’s Atlantic Voyage is so large that the Swiss brand has even managed to make the numerals on the scale big enough to be seen with a naked eye.

This new sequel to the “historic” model comes in the same oversized 47.5 mm case housing a humbly decorated automatic movement that can be seen via transparent case back. The latter is protected from occasional dents with a stainless steel cover.

The design is very unique, and even though the Louis Vuitton Swiss Watches fashion influence is strong, their watches are more than just a fancy case around a cheap movement (a la Gucci watches, for example).  The Tambour’s modicum of eccentricity is what I like most.  This particular model is a straight-3 chrono with tachymeter and date function.  Price – about $6,000, it will be available June 2011.

Set in a 44mm wide Tambour style case, the Voyagez is in steel with a gray and red dial with black and white trim. This aggressive looks goes really well with the carbon fiber strap. Inside the watch is a Dubois-Depraz made LV172 automatic chronograph movement. The dial design uses three middle aligned subdials for the 30 minute chronograph and subsidiary seconds. This might be one of the most interesting looking chronograph layouts in a watch this year. Visually the dial is well-balanced with the LV logo and the large Arabic numeral at 12 o’clock perfectly balanced with a white date aperture at 6 o’clock. The chronograph pushers and the winding crown also look very refined.
