Eberhard & Co. introduces a Black Masterpiece

A new interpretation of Eberhard's CHRONO TRAVERSETOLO.

Presented in 2007 by the House in the chrono version with various dial and strap executions, it has been released with a new black look, in a limited edition of 333 pieces. Baselworld 2009 will be the showcase of this special edition. Chrono Traversetolo Noir limited edition retains the automatic movement of the previous versions.

The oscillating mass can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back, entirely decorated in circular grain C6tes de Gen2ve and bearing the House's ancient emblem, an elegant shield, whose letter "E" is in 18ct gold.

The large size case (0 43 mm.), is made of carbon-treated steel (DLC acronym for Diamond Like Carbon) and was used by Eberhard & Co. for the first time on the special edition CHRONO 4 TEMERARIO.

This treatment, protected by an international patent, gives the steel an extremely high degree of hardness, comparable only with that of the diamond, and protects the metal from scratches and humidity.

Apart from the case itself, the DLC treatment is applied to the unusually curved chronograph push-pieces, the screw-in crown and the buckle of the strap, which is made of rubber and is naturally ... strictly black. In order to reflect the black spirit of the new CHRONO TRAVERSETOLO, the dial is also proposed only in black, with the sole hint of colour being the contrasting red of the numerical references on the tachymeter scale, the seconds hand, the counter hands and the outline of the small date window.

CHRONO TRAVERSETOLO NOIR limited edition: a new protagonist, elegant and at the same time daring ... a new classic ... black.

8 lucky Jura Customers experienced VIP treatment as guests of Jean Richard at last night's clash between Chelsea and Juventus.

Coming Soon.:U-Boat Ceramic 50mm Flightdeck

With its black ceramic case and the high-contrasting white face, this chronograph is set to be the white touch we are looking for this summer.
With the release of last year’s Flightdeck CAB WH sporting it’s white alligator strap, U-Boat are taking the ceramic model to the next level. This time the alligator strap is lined with silicon to protect it from the sea in those shark-infested waters... or the pool when you get pushed in.
Either way, be prepared to see white flashes from across the Riviera.
Availabitily: March/April 2009
RRP: TBC

The Nabucco Cuore Caldo Split-Second Chronograph with power-reserve indicator, in a limited edition of 500 (each timepiece is numbered 001/500 to 500/500 on the case-back), reinforces the link between RAYMOND WEIL and the world of chronographs and men’s mechanical watches.

It has the same charismatic design as the nabucco collection – 46mm in diameter, water-resistance to a depth of 200m (660ft), and immaculate finish… a combination of factors that have already made this collection an international success, and are certain to ensure the success of this new, exceptional timepiece.

William Baume Collection from Baume et Mercier

Renewing ties with the origins of Baume & Mercier, this collection pays homage to the horological craftsmanship and innovative spirit cultivated by William Baume. The new William Baume Collection is composed exclusively of models crafted in the finest Haute Horlogerie tradition, equipped with complication movements made especially for Baume & Mercier. The three models of the collection, issued in limited editions, evoke the brand’s origins through complications inseparably entwined with its historical heritage.

William Baume Retrograde

The retrograde seconds display divides time into two. Its large hand counts off 30 seconds over a graduated arc of a circle, before returning instantly to its starting point to measure the 30 following seconds. This model also displays a Large Date function appearing through a double window at 12 o’clock.

Perrelet Split- Second Chronograph LOUIS-FREDERIC

Semi-skeletonized and limited edition to 77 pieces.

Perrelet rewrites watch making history with the launch of its special, split-second Chronograph as homage to the "savoir faire" of Louis-Frédéric Perrelet.

What makes this piece interesting is the link with Louis Frederic Perrelet, inventor of the split chrono and grandson of Louis Abraham plus the skeletonisation of the movement. Perrelet has taken the skeletonisation one step further by replacing the hands with transparent sapphire discs for the counter dials. The result is more depth to the visual presentation – a 3-D experience into the complications of haute horology.

First Looks: Bremont SUPERMARINE 500

Although not available for another 8 months or so, this image of Bremont's first specialist venture in to professional diver's watches looks very exciting indeed.  No pricing has been announced but be sure to check back frequently as we continue to track the development and launch of this fantastic watch.  It is perhaps worth noting that world record holding free diver,  Sara Campbell ,has been testing Bremont's current range at great depths and has played a major role in the development of the new SUPERMARINE 500.

The current range http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/Bremont are some of the few crystal cased backed watches that are genuinely water resistant to 100m.
