RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal Richard Mille introduces new winding geometry with butterfly rotor and sport mode
Butterfly rotor: In the RM 35-03, Richard Mille presents for the first time a completely new winding system after three years of research and development.
The RM 035 "Baby Nadal" collection is inspired by the RM 027 tourbillon watch worn by Rafa Nadal on the tennis court. It offers focused technology for everyone inspired by top performance. Behind it is a new patented complication: the butterfly oscillating weight with sport mode and function selector.
While the RMAL1 movement of the RM 35-02 was already equipped with a variable geometry rotor (a distinctive feature of Richard Mille automatic movements), the new butterfly rotor of the RM 35-03 allows the wearer to change the rotor geometry and wind the The speed of movement controls his lifestyle and physical activity accordingly. Fun on the one hand and a practical complication on the other.
Audemars Piguet presents the new Royal Oak Automatic Flying Tourbillon
The classic Royal Oak complication has been subtly improved.
In terms of anniversaries, the 50th anniversary is a big one for Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak. Several watches in the Royal Oak collection have been updated here, including design evolutions aimed at improving the watches that collectors love and desire. A refreshed model is the Royal Oak Automatic Flying Tourbillon, with three new additions to the collection: one in rose gold, one in stainless steel and one in titanium.
The first two feature a traditional smoked blue dial with a Grande Tapisserie check pattern, while the third features a matte blue dial with a graduated ring connecting the hash marks on the minute track. The third version repeats the styling we've already seen in the self-winding flying tourbillon, albeit in grey. Each new example is powered by Caliber 2950, which debuted in 2020 and has a 65-hour power reserve and a rate of 21,600 vph. Only now, on the back of this movement is a special gold oscillating weight embossed with the "50 Years" logo to call attention to the Royal Oak's half-century celebration.
Plus, they each feature design improvements aimed at making the Royal Oak look and feel better. According to an AP press release, these include wider bevels on the case and bracelet to better accentuate light and shadow effects on the surfaces; Comfort; the slightly recessed sapphire case back allows the watch to fit better on the wearer's wrist; the hour markers and hands adopt new proportions to enhance the harmony within the dial. Nonetheless, they are the same as the existing self-winding tourbillon at 41mm x 10.6mm.
As we've seen on other recent examples of self-winding tourbillons, the applied Audemars Piguet signature is made of a thin layer of 24-karat gold, created using electric current growth, which the Associated Press describes as akin to 3D printing chemical process. The letters are connected by thin chains that are difficult to see with the naked eye. Then use the little feet to secure them to the dial. It was originally developed by Audemars Piguet for the Code 11:59 collection. These design improvements will continue into the future, but the anniversary rotors are only available for this year.
Moving a classic forward requires a careful touch and a lot of respect. So, at least from the images I've seen, the new Royal Oak manages to thread a small needle. Much of the real charm of Royal Oak watches comes down to how they look and feel on the wrist, all thanks to the many small proportions of links, bevels and facets that have to create a sense of harmony. The Royal Oak bracelet is just the right size and is one of the most impressive of the watches, the light on the watch and the multiple facets of the bracelet are breathtaking. With these new improvements, I'm interested to see how the 2022 Royal Oaks feel on the wrist and how they handle light.
While pricing is on request, these are sure to be expensive watches with a single complication - or is it one complication? – This has to be in harmony with the overall feel of the watch. As the Royal Oak series, it is a sports watch with the decoration of the case, dial and bracelet as the highlight. Ostensibly, a bracelet is worn on a watch because it is more durable and permanent than a watch strap. But the Royal Oak bracelet is actually a work of art. All the parts of the Royal Oak have to work together to make it feel good.
Therefore, even the weighted balance wheel oscillating within the tourbillon cage must be accurate. Note its color in relation to the rose gold hands, hour markers and AP lettering below; then check it against all the same parts in the white metal variant above.
While these tourbillons aren't the biggest news from The Associated Press today, they do look fantastic, as do the existing models that people are already lining up to buy. You can bet collectors are already asking for these new pieces.

Audemars Piguet Brings Back the Star Wheel Concept in Code 11.59
A charming display and watch from the early 1990s, now modernized.
The vagabond timepiece is one of the most fascinating showcases in the horological world. If it is often associated with modern independent watchmakers such as Urwerk or Audemars Piguet, it is actually a very old concept dating back to the 17th century. However, if the origins of the system are much older than many assume, Audemars Piguet is often seen as a resurrection of the concept with its famous watch, the Starwheel, which was born in 1991. Long since exiting the collection, the iconic display returns in a bolder, more contemporary take. Meets Code 11.59 for Audemars Piguet Starwheel.
The Wandering Times of the Past and Star Wheels The vagabond timepiece system dates back to the 17th century (most likely 1655), at the special request of Pope Alexander VII. With insomnia exacerbated by the ticking of the clock, he ordered a night clock from the Campagni brothers, asking that it be quiet and easy to read in the dark. The result is a clock with traveling time, reading the time on a semicircle displaying the quarter-hours, which is also illuminated from within.

Chopard Calibre 1.96 and LUC 1860: One of the Best Automatic Watches Ever Made
I wrote an in-depth article on what many consider to be one of the best modern automatic movements ever made, the Chopard 1.96 movement:
"The list of automatic movements that could really earn the title of 'best automatic movement ever' is short. Ask around and you might get an answer, such as the Patek Philippe 27-460, the brand's second automatic movement; Jaeger- The LeCoultre calibre 920 (used by Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, etc., and used in the original Royal Oak and Nautilus); or the legendary movements of Rolex and Omega.
But a solid answer comes from a manufacturer that may surprise some: the Chopard LUC 1.96 calibre. "
Chopard's historical roots lie in watchmaking and jewelry brands - its founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard, was a watchmaker - but in the 1980s it refocused on being a true manufacturer capable of producing watches that match those brands. Comparable in-house movements come from Patek Philippe and others. It first set up shop in Fleurier, with the help of master watchmaker Michel Parmigiani. But a few years later, Chopard took the project entirely in-house, spending nearly four years building its own in-house movement from scratch, before delivering 20 prototypes of the 1.96 movement in December 1995 (interesting: The young Jean-Frederic Dufour, the current CEO of Rolex, was responsible for organizing the new in-house manufacturer).
White Gold Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver First, we have a platinum Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Diver reference. 260-32-3A. On one side of the 43mm white gold case, you'll see a unique digital plaque on the left.
The case houses a blue lacquered dial with an attractive lattice pattern. Like a typical diver's watch, this white gold Maxi Marine Diver includes plenty of luminescence, from oversized indexes to skeletonized center hands. Note also the power-reserve sub-dial and the small seconds sub-dial, imitating the brand's original nautical chronometer navigation clock. Inside the sub-dial is a circular date window with an inverted magnifying glass.
Matching the blue dial is a blue unidirectional bezel, but this time with a wave pattern. The blue rubber strap features blue accents, the white gold links are reinforced for a more comfortable fit, and the white gold deployant clasp ensures optimum security on the wrist.
Turn the watch and you'll see the COSC-certified chronometer automatic movement at work inside via a sapphire caseback. Water-resistant to 200 meters, you might not necessarily be diving with this luxurious white gold watch, but if you will, it will certainly do the job.
Simply released for LVMH View Week is the new Zenith Defy Skyline, a new metal sports watch that follows on the hugely successful Chronomaster Sport. Zenith introduces a brand new movement featuring a fast-paced 1/10-second subdial, designed for broad charm and mainstream success. The actual Defy Skyline borrows the actual bracelet and octagonal situation from the Defy Classic as well as adds a vintage Defy dodecagon bezel, offering a compelling-if not entirely original-for the particular four-digit sports watch marketplace. new entrance.
When I indexed the Defy Skyline, the first observation was exactly how complete the entire package had been. The alternating brushed and also polished finishes are top notch, as are the dials along with movements. Overall, I can state without exaggeration that it has the exact price of hyped (and not too hyped) watches that market for much more than the Escape Skyline. I think LVMH requires the power of first impressions very significantly, and the Defy Skyline is an excellent example. Damn derivative style, that's too expensive.

I got typically the black dial variant, it also comes in blue and silver precious metal. One of the things I like when coping with brand new metal watch is the fact that usually the press release isn't very ready, so I discovered specific details myself. What I at first thought was a tapiserie switch with a waffle pattern or even waffle pattern under magnifying magnified as a four-pointed celebrity repeating pattern. This call design, beautiful hour indicators, Zenith stars, large, read-it-easily hands, and, yes, an identical date window all get together in the best possible way. The particular 1/10th of a second subdial (driven directly from the escapement) is a talking point if you would like it to be moved quickly, or else it's easy to overlook, like any secs subdial. The GIF We created is an accurate rendering of what it actually appears like.
At 41mm wide in addition to approximately 11. 2mm thicker, the Defy Skyline is ideal for the contemporary buyer. Typically the screw-in crown helps ensure 100m water resistance, so you don't have to be worried about swimming with it. It is very comfortable on the wrist, it is reasonably heavy and the weight submission is perfect. The Defy Views Bracelet features excellent chamfering and polished edges which seamlessly echo the case, although the fine-tuning makes it really perfect, the butterfly clasp feels right at home and secure.
LVMH surely make a quick-change bracelet/strap program, and that proficiency is upon full display here. Often the buttons on the bottom cover are super easy to use, just plug this back in to reconnect. It can intuitive and secure, that is all one could ask for. Nevertheless, in addition to the stainless steel bracelet, often the Defy Skyline comes with a complementing rubber strap whose smooth lines outline a matching superstar pattern that runs straight down the center. The strap is actually soft, light and comfortable, having a steel folding clasp. The actual straps you see here are dark, but the blue dial includes a blue strap, and the magic dial comes with an olive eco-friendly strap.
Zenith Defy Scenery debuts the new El 3620 calibre, whose structures is very similar to the El Superior 3600 1/10th of a 2nd movement we saw within the Chronomaster Sport. The 3620 features a classic El Primo frequency of 36, 000 vph with a 60-hour reserve of power. It also has a second hand along with a silicon escape wheel as well as lever. It all ends using a star rotor tying the actual visual themes together.
The particular steel sports watch industry has been ravaged by shortage and hype, irritating and also neglecting many enthusiasts. Along with Defy Skyline, LVMH along with Zenith have created a well-thought-out true luxury sports view that doesn't cut corners and it has a truly unique horological imprint.
Bell & Ross BR 03-92 MA-1 pays tribute to the MA-1 "bomber". Its parachute-derived nylon shell and double-sided khaki green and orange design transformed it from a practical military equipment in the 1950s to a fashion statement in the 1970s. The 42mm case is made of deep khaki ceramics, and the khaki dial is in a "sandwich" style. There are two overlapping metal plates. The next one is coated with orange Super-LumiNova, which shines through the steel mesh, on the upper layer. Cut out the numbers and indexes. The calfskin strap-like the jacket, the surface is dark khaki, the lining is orange, and it is used on both sides-it is fixed on the wrist with a bronze PVD steel pin buckle. This "wrist flight jacket" is driven by an automatic BR-CAL.302 based on Sellita SW.300-1, providing a frequency of 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 38 hours. here.
