Trip to Basel

BELL & ROSS The best surprise since our arrival. Here is a small company who has stopped putting its name on Sinn watches and has taken a road which will IMO bring it tremendous success due to exciting designs and "affordable" prices. The new pilot's 2 counter chronograph is a winner, legible dial, great case and it looks really good. :) The 3 counter pilot's chronograph lacks the minimalist design of the 2 counter chrono. The Diver 300 is a 2 counter chronograph with a water resistance of 300 meters. The Military with chocolate coloured dial (we are in Switzerland!!). The fun started when we got to see the new jump hour watches developed by Vincent Calabrese of AHCI fame. All limited to 99 pieces (which means it's a real limited edition). Jump Hour with gorgeous 2 tone dial and power reserve indicator in platinum: Jump Hour with 2 tone cream coloured dial and power reserve indicator in platinum: Jump Hour in Rose gold: Big Date 2 counter chrono in red gold CHRONOSWISS Here is a brand that makes some of the most original and sometimes the most boring watches I've ever seen! This year Chronoswiss may be starting a new trend: a smaller version of an existing model. Where all other brands are making watches for Venice Beach body builders, Chronoswiss has thought of us poor mortals who do not spend our days at the gym and need to wear watches that don't make us look puny! The Timemaster and Timemaster chrono in new cases: The Delphis with new dials. The Opus with new subdials. A gorgeous 1/4 repeater with a genuine enamel dial, a beautiful case with guillochage on the case and most important of all, a very clear and crisp sound. It is based on a Dubois Depraz striking module which was used in the Kelek and Nivrel 1/4 repeaters but so far the Chronoswiss has put it in the best looking case. Here's a watch that makes Chronoswiss so interesting. However, unfortunately a date for release has not been set yet.
