Bulgari unveils the Diagono Magnesium Concept Watch

Bulgari announced its world premier “The Diagono Magnesium Concept Watch” to offer a complete opposite of everything the world of so-called connected watches is able to offer. The new Diagono Magnesium Watch by Bulgari is a self-winding mechanical watch incorporating all the codes of luxury, as well as an electronic passport connected to the watch and its wearer, whose confidential data now enjoys total protection. This veritable intelligent “wrist-vault” is the result of a partnership between the luxury brand and Wisekey, a leading Swiss company in digital security and data storage.

The new Diagono Magnesium Watch has a cryptographic chip and invisible antenna which, using NFC technology (near field communication) enables the watch to transmit a digital certificate to the Bulgari vault application that is already downloaded and set up on the telephone (IOS and Android systems). The watch simply has to be placed near the smartphone which itself is equipped with an NFC chip for the application to be activated. Only the owner of the watch has access to the confidential content that is recorded here with banking level security.

Academy Georges Favre-Jacot by Zenith

Still located in the premises where it was born in 1865, Zenith is celebrating its 150th anniversary by introducing an exceptional watch imbued with the visionary genius of its founder, Georges Favre-Jacot. Genius was indeed required to transpose the fuse and chain system borrowed from historical marine chronometers to the tiny space of a wristwatch. This highly complex device serves to compensate for the progressive reduction in the force of the barrel as the power reserve is discharged, and to maintain the perfect stability of the force with no loss of amplitude.

Hermes goes Slim

Hermès presents a new watch collection: Slim d’Hermès. This determination to aim for essentials results in lines distinguished by their elementary sobriety, expressed through the slenderness of a case. The broad dial opening immediately draws the gaze, while the design of the lugs forms a right angle. Slim d’Hermès, designed by Philippe Delhotal, Creative Director of La Montre Hermès, testifies to the graphic approach of the house through the original typography created by Philippe Apeloig* to mark the hours. The light, airy outline of the numerals imparts a lively rhythm that gives time a pleasing cadence. This watch for both men and women comes in three sizes.

Jacob & Co reveals the outstanding Astronomia Tourbillon

The new Astronomia Tourbillon by Jacob & Co is a Triple Axis Gravitational Tourbillon with manual winding JCEM01 and 50mm diameter with 18K rose gold. This watch is available in a limited edition of 8 pieces only.

Omega launches new James Bond watch

In anticipation of SPECTRE the 24th James Bond film scheduled to release in 2015, OMEGA has created a limited edition Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M model inspired by the Bond family coat of arms.

The symbol is repeatedly interlocked to create a dynamic pattern on the watch’s blue dial. The coat of arms is also found near the tip of the yellow central seconds hand.

Among the most striking elements of this 41.5 mm stainless steel timepiece is the oscillating weight of the movement visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. This component has been cut and shaped to resemble a gun barrel, a design feature associated with James Bond.

Powered by the completely new OMEGA Master Co-Axial calibre 8507, this timepiece is resistant to magnetic fields greater than 15,007 gauss.

The timepiece is presented on a stainless steel bracelet and will be produced in an edition limited to 15,007 pieces. It is delivered with a full four-year warranty.

Gran Celtica™ SuperSportS by Charriol

This year, the Gran Celtica™ SuperSportS automatic chronograph comes in a distinctly dressier version. The originally two-tone domed bezel is now made of polished and sunray satin-finish steel, as is the new bracelet replacing its black rubber strap with its cable motifs. The motorsports inspiration remains clearly visible, backed by the longstanding racetrack experience acquired by skilled driver Philippe Charriol. This racing spirit is expressed through original elements such as the guilloche sunray-brushed silver-toned dial, colourful hour-markers, the turbine-wheel small seconds resembling a racing-car wheel, as well as the black rubber-clad crown.

Pasquale Bruni presents 2025 the new creation of the iconic collection Prato Fiorito

Pasquale Bruni presented at Baselworld 2015 the new creation of the iconic collection Prato Fiorito, a unique set that seduce by the refinement of its craftsmanship and the gems of rare beauty.

The fine jewellery by Pasquale Bruni is masterfully expressed in the exquisite Fiori in Fiore necklace. Pink sapphires magically blend into the luminosity of diamonds set in white gold. A pavé flower and a drop of multifaceted morganite are the heart of this exquisite necklace. Each tiny flower that makes it up is attached to its neighbour by gold wire. The result is like a magnificent piece of embroidery which allows glimpses of the skin and designs petals to dress up the décolleté. It is a piece of jewellery which depending on what it is worn with adapts to the feminine mood desired. The collier is composed of 3421 diamonds for a total of 31,51carats, one 4,46 carats morganite and 258 pink sapphires for a total of 10,54 carats. The set is completed by chandelier earrings in white gold, diamonds and pink sapphires
