NOT JUST TELLING TIME

You can tell the time by looking at your smartphone or your computer screen, but those don’t enhance your personality like a good watch can. If you want to make an impression, wearing a watch is your answer. Extra functions are a plus.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE

Jaeger-LeCoultre is never ordinary, and the Master Tourbillon Dualtime is no exception. The Master Tourbillon Dualtime luxury watch in pink gold, 41.5mm in size, reveals a part of its secrets by making its tourbillon visible through an aperture at the 6 o’clock. Equipped with a second time zone, 24-hour reference time and a jumping hand, this exceptional watch features a crystal sapphire caseback which reveals its 22k gold rotor.

IWC

This watch might first captivate you with its trademark midnight blue 43mm dial and stainless steel, but there is more to Pilot’s Watch Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince” than meets the eye. It has all the typical qualities of a high-performance watch, thanks to its chronograph movement, shielded against the influence of magnetic fields. This Pilot’s Watch has an engraving on the rear of the little prince, inspired by the world-famous literature which has long inspired IWC.

MONTBLANC

“Montblanc Laboratory Test 500” With more than a century of history, Montblanc introduces yet another impressive creation — the Heritage Chronométrie Automatic. With a vintage style, the blue dial is housed in its 40mm stainless steel case which contains its automatic movement. It features sword-shape hands, rhodium-coated applied indexes and prominent Arabic numerals. The date window is at 6 o’clock. The timepiece has been rigorously tested by the “Montblanc Laboratory Test 500”.
