BREITLING NAvITIMER 8
A modern take on Breitling’s cockpit clocks form the 1930s, the Navitimer 8 collection celebrates heritage and endurance. Unparalleled reliability and practicality made these clocks a crucial component and prime choice for the Spitfire and
other powerful RAF fighter jets. Breitling subsequently went on to create the Huit Aviation Department (named after the
8 day power reserve of its instruments) dedicated to developing some of the most groundbreaking aircraft chronographs. Both dial and rotating bezel transport us back to the original aviation instruments, while the short, faceted lugs of the case express bold, contemporary design. With multiple complications from chronograph to world-timer, the Navitimer 8 collection redefines functionality and performance.
SANTOS DE CARTIER WATCH
Introducing the new Santos de Cartier. This legendary timepiece offers a bold design for all of the risk-takers and rule- breakers, and the new model stays true to its original shape but has been updated to focus on comfort and proportions.
The model shown is Cartier’s medium model, made from yellow gold and steel. It possesses interchangeable bracelets: steel bracelet and calfskin strap with steel double adjustable folding buckle. It has
a mechanical movement with automatic winding, 1847 MC.
CHOPARD HAPPy FISH
The exquisite Happy Fish collection welcomes a splendid model in a 250-piece limited edition series. The Happy Fish watch features a turquoise textured mother-of-pearl dial with subtle colour nuances educing shimmering seabeds.
In the dial centre, a delightful fish that remains extremely discreet by day, lights up and reveals itself when the night falls. Five moving diamonds, luminescent at night, along with a small 18-carat rose gold fish, dance as if is in one of the world’s most precious aquariums, featuring a turquoise alligator leather strap that brings out the colours of the dial. Setting the cadence for this aquatic ballet is a self- winding movement housed in a steel case.
