Edox Mens 01110 3 NIN WRC Automatic Chronorally Watch
The Official Watch of the 2012 World Rally Championship
Edox has a long history of timing prestigious sporting events. As far back as 1966, the company was selected as the official timekeeper for Spain’s famous Vuelta bicycle race. Their prominence in sports became even greater when Edox became the official watch of the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Over the years, Edox has achieved dominance in one performance sport after another, culminating in their selection as official timekeeper for both the Class-1 World Powerboat Championship and the FIA World Rally Championship.
To celebrate their new three and a half year agreement with the WRC, Edox has introduced a spectacular new watch: the WRC Chronorally. The Chronorally has been designated as the official WRC timepiece for a grueling series of rallies to be held in Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Germany, Japan, France and England. In these multi-day events, drivers experience some of the toughest and most varied conditions on the planet. A lesser watch might not be up to the challenge, but the Edox WRC Chronorally will be able to take this epic motorsport adventure in stride.

The durable 45mm 316L stainless steel case features dramatically oversized chronograph pushers, so drivers can easily time important events, even while wearing driving gloves. To help minimize accidental errors, the start pusher is colored bright orange for easy identification.
This professional timekeeping instrument utilizes an anti-reflective scratch resistant sapphire crystal to protect the black carbon fiber dial. Genuine nickel indices contrast with the black dial for maximum visibility. With a tachymeter on the inner bezel, three easy-to-read subdials and a convenient date/date window at 3 o’clock, this superb timepiece is ready for anything.

Fortis Mens 597.11.11.L01 Flieger Automatic Chronograph
High Flyer or History Buff, This Chrono Delivers
Flieger is the German word for pilot, or airman. In English, the word “flieger” is commonly associated with pilot watches; this is, in part, because Germans were among the first to design pilot-centric watches for the civil aviation sector in the 1930s, but also because many of the definitive look-and-feel characteristics of modern pilot watches can be attributed to German manufacture.
The Fortis Flieger Automatic Chronograph is a fine example of a modern airman’s watch. The two-part case is 40 mm in diameter and made from sandblasted stainless steel. The caseback is screw-down and stamped with the Fortis emblem. Scratch-resistant anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers the dial and allows for an ample view of the counters and hands thanks to the narrow bezel. A large knurled crown, stamped with the Fortis crown emblem, makes adjusting the watch effortless; the chronograph pushers are equally stout and straightforward to operate.
In its day, the primary significance of the arrowhead index and flanking dots at 12 o’clock on the dial was to provide upward orientation of the dial during night flight. For pilots, it still does, and for non-pilots, the ubiquitous index appears as an essential design element. The black dial features Arabic numerals and indices coated with Super-LumiNova phosphorescent paint for excellent illumination in the dark. Luminous paint also appears on the sword-shaped hour and minute hands, whose relative thickness width-wise makes it easy to read the time over top of the sub-dials.
Since function is the chief purpose of a pilot watch, the chronograph hands on the Fortis Flieger are all painted orange; this way the elapsed seconds, minutes and hours can be calculated with relative ease. The distinct positioning of the sub-dials suggests that this flieger contains a Valjoux 7750 movement, and indeed it does. The distinctive layout has the 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, the 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock, and the continuous-seconds counter at 9 o’clock. Two apertures placed side by side at 3 o’clock display the day and date.
To accommodate the three-plate Valjoux 7750 movement, the case is 15 mm thick and water resistant to 330 feet. A complementary padded black leather strap with white stitching draws out the white-on-black contrast of the dial. The prong-style buckle is personalized with the Fortis emblem.
The Fortis Flieger Automatic Chronograph won the inaugural European Watch Award back in 2004. To acquire a Fortis pilot watch, contact an authorized Fortis dealer.

Edox Iceshark III: Cold Comfort for Champion Divers
The new Limited Edition Edox Iceshark III is no ordinary diver. This extraordinary watch was designed specifically for the most demanding type of diving on earth: free-diving, diving under the ice. Edox has partnered with world champion ice diver Christian Redl to make the Edox Iceshark III the best ice diving watch ever produced.
Christian Redl has already set two world distance records under the ice. He has gone 90m meters with fins and 150 meters aided by a scooter. Under these extreme conditions, it is no surprise that Christian has selected the Iceshark III as his underwater companion.
This 45mm diver has been optimized for use underwater. With convenient, left facing pushers and a clean, easily readable graphite colored carbon fiber dial, this rugged timepiece is fully functional, even when wearing a wetsuit. The watch is water resistant to an amazing 3300 feet, featuring a stealthy, black PVD case constructed of super strong 316L stainless steel. With its unidirectional black ceramic rotating bezel and two high visibility subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock for timing events, the Iceshark III makes it almost effortless to determine exactly how much time you have left at virtually any depth. Even under even the most severe conditions, this watch won’t let you down.
The Iceshark III is powered by a proprietary Edox 103 quartz movement, based on the reliable Ronda 5021D. This spectacular limited edition timepiece has been fitted with a comfortable black caoutchouc strap and matching PVD coated steel buckle. You may not be a champion diver like Christian Redl, but if you love life on, and under, the water. You’ll appreciate a watch that accepts no compromise.
Production of the Edox Ice Shark III has been strictly limited to 250 pieces, each accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a beautiful presentation box. If you’d like to put one of these technological marvels on your own wrist, you’ll have to act fast.

There is also a free-running small second hand at 9 o’clock; an AM/PM indicator at 1 o’clock, and 30-minute and 12-hour subdials for timing virtually any length event.
The mechanical complexity of the F-43 is unprecedented. The watch is powered by a proprietary 39-jewel Fortis calibre F 2012 alarm GMT movement. There are two independent spring barrels to power the alarm and time functions, along with a premium Incabloc shock absorber. There are four convenient protected stainless steel pushers to control the time and alarm functions and scratch resistant sapphire crystals on both sides of the watch.
The impressive 43mm two-piece stainless steel case is water resistant to 165 feet and has been fitted with a spectacular blue padded crocodile leather strap that matches the embossed blue numbers and indices on the silver opaline dial.

Fortis Mens 635.10.11 L.08 B-42 Pilot Professional Black Dial Chronograph Aviator Watch
A Match Made in Flight: The Fortis B-42 and the Valjoux 7750
Before pilots had chronographs integrated into their wristwatches, they typically carried separate stopwatches for use in navigation. When the time-only wristwatch was eventually combined with a chronograph, pilots were able to satisfy both functions with one device.
Fortis fuses these two primary functions in its Fortis B-42 Pilot Professional Chronograph from the company’s aviation collections, and what better movement to salute this match made in flight than the famed Valjoux 7750, the veritable workhorse of mechanical chronographs, which like the pilot watch, is renowned for its function-over-form simplicity.
The Valjoux 7750 was introduced in 1974 and features prominently in contemporary chronographs. It differs from the traditional column-wheel chronograph in that it uses a different mechanism to control the switching functions, which include starting, stopping and resetting. The significant advantage of the 7750’s design is in efficiency, both in terms of ease of assembly and ease of maintenance.
Fortis customizes the winding rotor of this Valjoux 7750 with blue engravings including the Fortis logo; the words Since 1912 Swiss commemorate the company’s founding year, while World’s First Manufacturer of Automatic Wristwatches commemorates one of the company’s finest achievements. All of this can be viewed through the watch’s exhibition caseback.
To accommodate the movement’s three-plate construction (main plate, calendar plate and chronograph plate), the two-part stainless steel case is 42 mm in diameter by 16 mm thick. The sapphire crystal has an anti-reflective coating on both sides and the caseback is screw-down. The oversized, screw-down crown adds to the watch’s overall water resistance of 660 feet.
The distinctive chronograph counter layout of the Valjoux 7750 has the 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, the 30-minute counter at 12, and the continuous-seconds counter at 9. The chronograph hands, meanwhile, are painted orange so that elapsed seconds, minutes and hours can be calculated with relative ease.
White numbers and indices provide excellent contrast against the matte, black dial. Plenty of Super-LumiNova coats the numerals, hour markers and hands. In addition to the traditional arrowhead index and flanking dots at 12 o’clock, two other arrows appear on either side of the day and date windows – one facing down and one facing up – to indicate which direction the wearer should turn the crown to make quick adjustments. The flange has a tachymeter scale for measuring speed in conjunction with the chronograph.
This Fortis B-42 Pilot Professional Chronograph features a padded cognac-brown leather strap with white stitching that brings the black, orange and white dial elements to the fore. The strap is fitted to the case and the prong-style buckle is personalized with the Fortis crown.
This Fortis B-42 Pilot Professional Chronograph may also custom labeled through the Fortis Squadron Watch and Fortis Private Label Watch Programs.

to Wear a Fine Painting on Your Wrist
Guiseppe Ascione was a talented designer. His brother Michele was a skilled engineer. When they combined their talents with their passion for watches, a brand was born. It was no accident that their Gio Monaco timepieces were named for Guido Monaco, the inventor of musical notes and patron saint of their hometown of Arezzo, Italy. To the Ascione brothers, there has always been a connection between the harmony of music and the measurement of time.
The spectacular Gio Monaco Graffiti Automatic is a superb example of this unique fusion of fine art and Swiss technology. This amazing timepiece is unlike anything you have ever seen before. The entire dial is a work of art. Depicting colorfully iconic geographic scenes from around the world, this unique dial puts time in a whole new perspective.
A black PVD coated stainless steel bezel with distinctive inset markers frames the one-of-a-kind pop art dial. With a massive 44mm stainless steel case, a screw down protected crown and a bright blue genuine alligator leather strap, this artistic marvel is unmistakable.

Fortis Mens 595.22.41 L.01 Pilot Professional Day Date Watch
Cockpit Fundamentals
The earliest pilot watches were basic time-tellers with a decidedly crucial purpose: to provide pilots with accurate timekeepers that had clear and simple readouts by which they could tell time quickly and easily. It’s this necessity of function that separated pilot watches from other, more complicated timepieces.
The Fortis Pilot Professional is an exceptional rendering of this highly functional tool-watch. The 40 mm, brushed stainless steel case has a narrow bezel and large sapphire crystal that provide a wide-open reading area. The crown is knurled and oversized to make it easy to grab, even with gloves on, and the padded black leather strap with prong buckle is comfortable and close-fitting whether it is worn over or under clothing.
The dial is matte black with contrasting white Arabic numerals and indices, each of which is coated in Super-LumiNova, a phosphorescent-pigment paint that glows in the dark; the hands are also generously coated, ensuring good legibility, day or night. The ubiquitous arrowhead index that appears at “12” typifies the aviator genre; in its day, the index’s primary significance was to provide upward orientation of the dial in low light.
In terms of precision, the Pilot Professional houses a 25-jewel ETA 2836-2 automatic movement, which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and utilizes an Incabloc shock absorber to protect the balance. Another important characteristic of this movement is the “hack” or “stop-second” setting mechanism: when the crown is pulled out the seconds hand stops, allowing the wearer to set the time more precisely. Before the advent of computer-aided navigation, the hack function was a noteworthy addition to the pilot watch, since even the smallest timing oversight could lead to a critical navigational error.
For a touch of contemporary functionality, the Fortis Pilot Professional is water resistant to 650 feet, thanks in part to its screw-down steel caseback and crown. The watch’s lone complication is a day-and-date indicator featuring a bilingual day wheel in German and English, which is a nod to the significant influence that Germans had on pilot-watch development in the mid-20th century.

Louis Erard Mens 54209AS11.BDC25 1931 Silver Dial Power Reserve Regulator Watch
by Boris Pjanic
Louis Erard is a Swiss watchmaker who is focusing on manufacturing mechanical watches with a classic and elegant appearance. Take a look at the Louis Erard regulator presented here, which is a manual wind timepiece with an ETA Peseux movement 7001 RE9 with Louis Erard complications, including a regulator hand showing the minutes, a power reserve at 9 o’clock, and a small second at 6 o’clock, while the hour is shown in the gauge at 12 o’clock. Accordingly, the watch depicted here shows 10 minutes after 10 o’clock and about 40 seconds.
This timepiece belongs to the 1931 collection which focuses on mechanical timepieces for watch aficionados with small complications such as a power reserve or a regulator. This model features a contemporary 42mm size, complemented by a beautiful silver dial which looks very clean despite having several complications. As a result, it is easy to read and understand, which is not always the case when you look at complicated watches.
The beautifully brushed steel case possesses a see-through back which offers you an open view on the highly finished hand-wound movement. Honestly, such a beautiful movement would be a reason to wear the watch in reverse showing only the movement, as it is really exciting to watch the gears and balance spring do their work to keep this living object alive.
