Czapek & Cie revisits its first calibre
Czapek & Cie has announced the release of two new models for its Quai des Bergues guilloché “Ricochet” line. Besides striking new enamel colours, lovers of fine mechanics will find an exciting, redesigned movement inside. At first glance, the new variants will be familiar. The unique Ricochet pattern in flinqué enamel on the dial is back, but this time in two dazzling colours composed for Czapek by its partner Donzé Cadrans. The Sapphire Blue L has a somewhat dreamy, iridescent, marine hue, exclusive to Czapek and inspired by its predecessor introduced in 2019, the Sapphire Blue S. On the other hand, the deep emerald green tone, close to British racing green, gives the dial an unusual intensity. |

Presenting Time Fast II by L’Epée
Time Fast II is inspired by racing sports cars of the 1960s, a golden era of long-distance automotive competition. TTime Fast II features two independent movements, both with their own power source. The first movement is in the cockpit and is responsible for keeping the time. Hours and minutes are displayed by rotating stainless steel disks on the air filters feeding the dual carburetor banks on top of the engine. The 8-day movement is regulated by a visible 2.5 Hertz escapement in the ‘driver’s helmet’ and powered by a mainspring visible in the passenger’s ‘seat’. The second movement powers the engine automat. Turning the dashboard key starts the engine, triggering the pistons of the V8 to go up and down. This animation is completely independent of the time movement. |

Corum presents Bubble 47 Automatic Aiiroh
Staying true to its innovative side, Corum teams with French street artist Aiiroh to bring a statement of “art on the wrist” to the forefront. Additionally, Aiiroh, and artists Soyz Bank and Namisen, worked together to present a fabulous piece of wall art in the form of the Corum certificate of authenticity that accompanies the watch. The new larger-than-life 47mm Bubble X Aiiroh watch brings its own message to the forefront: one of daring color and bold style. Crafted in stainless steel with black PVD coating, the watch is inspired by Aiiroh’s famous “Black Série Rose” artwork that uses street posters and headlines in a decoupage-like collage to form the petals of the colorful rose. He then superimposes another stylized black rose spiral motif on top of that for added allure. |

Edouard Koehn releases Tempus II "Open Heart" Mono-Pusher
In the wake of the Tempus I automatic chronograph and its Skeleton version, the Edouard Koehn watchmaking brand from La Chaux-de-Fonds is unveiling this summer 2022 a collection christened Tempus II "Open Heart", which this time embeds in its steel casing enhanced by a ceramic bezel a splendid automatic Mono-pusher chronograph caliber with inverted escapement, manufactured in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland.

Byrne Watches introduces the GyroDial watch
One watch, four looks. With its made-to-measure movement, Byrne has invented the evolutionary watch. Every evening at midnight, or whenever you choose, there is a changing of the four cardinal indexes on the GyroDial. Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, special characters or designs – each index is displayed on the face of a flush-mounted rotating block; the jump from one display to the next is disconcertingly instantaneous. And because time is what you make of it, Byrne also offers the possibility of customising the faces of each rotating block, as well as the case material. |

CODE 41 unveils “Mecascape”
Named "Sublimation 1", it is a new mechanical watch object that transcends the usual dimensions and reveals a new architectural vision of time, space, volume and light. Neither wristwatch, nor pocket watch, nor clock... Mecascape goes to the core of the passage of time, and symbolizes the birth of a new watch class. This new mechanical object named ‘Mecascape’, the contraction of “mechanical” and “landscape”, is about balance and harmony between the elements. It is a different way of working and apprehending the object – because it is appreciated in a more instinctive way, as a whole, with a completely visible mechanism, placed on a flat surface with a global aesthetic whose complexity builds exponentially. |

Montegrappa presents FIFA® CLASSICS
No matter where your allegiances lie, there was something poetic about England’s hosting of the 1966 FIFA World Cup™?. The game’s showpiece event had taken time to arrive in its spiritual homeland, but when it did, it found a nation basking in international success. English music, film and fashion led the world, yet its name remained absent from football’s biggest prize. Pride, glory and a hint of scandal ensured that the legacy of 1966 lives long in football’s folklore. 98,000 turned out at Wembley to watch their team fulfill a destiny that many considered overdue. Montegrappa's exclusive writing set relives that magical summer with English colours and steel in regal yellow gold. An exclusive journal joins a hat-trick of writing modes to celebrate the memory in small-batch editions of only 66 numbered pieces. |
