Omega Speedmaster “Speedy Tuesday” Limited Edition
The Speedmaster "Speedy Tuesday" Limited Edition was the first timepiece exclusively sold through the web by Omega. Inspired to the popular "#speedytuesday" Instagram hashtag, this Speedmaster edition was limited to 2012 pieces and sold out in few hours.

Richard Mille RM 50-03 McLaren F1
Produced in collaboration with the famed McLaren Formula 1 constructor, the Richard Mille RM 50-03 achieved an exceptional record as the lightest mechanical chronograph ever made. Combining a tourbillon with a split seconds chronograph, the RM 50-03 McLaren F1 weighs less than 40 grams, including the new strap. This astonishing result was achieved through the use of cutting-edge technical materials. The design not only incorporates Titanium and Carbon TPT, but also introduces an entirely new material into the world of watchmaking: Graph TPT, more commonly known as graphene. Full article.




Singer Reimagined Track 1
The result of the encounter between Rob Dickinson, the founder of Singer Vehicle Design, Marco Borraccino, a renowned Italian watch designer based in Geneva and master watchmaker Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, the Singer Reimagined Track 1 created lot of buzz for its innovative chronograph display taking centre-stage. The chronograph hours, minutes and seconds are coaxially mounted in the centre of the dial, allowing the elapsed time to be read easily and clearly with just a glance.

Full article.




Zenith Defy El Primero 21
21 like 21st century. With this new hundredths of a second El Primero chronograph movement, Zenith remarked its important place in watchmaking innovation.

Each has its own transmission and escapement system and there is no coupling clutch. The escapement for the watch beats at 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz), while the escapement for the chronograph  at 360,000 vibrations per hour (50 Hz). Full article.

    1. Hi Treasure, we think it deserved a mention because this model marked a new approach to the market for Omega and it was also an instant hit.
