This is a tribute to the 1968 ULTRA-CHRON Diver, the first dive watch to be equipped with a high-frequency movement at the time. This re-edition model has a stainless steel case in 43mm. Automatic calibre L836.6, a high-frequency “in house” movement. “high-frequency” is defined when the balance wheel oscillates at 36,000 beats per hour (10 beats every second) or higher. LONGINES pioneered in 1914 (to time 1/10th of a second) and 1916 (to time 1/100th of a second), improved precise timekeeping. From 1959 onwards, LONGINES made use of the high-beat-movements to increase the accuracy of its watches. Power reserve is 52 hrs Priced at CHF3,500
Case is 47mm with a thickness of 14.5mm, in red or white gold, sapphire crystal front and back, water resistant to 10m. Dial side architecture in 5N gold with openworked bridges, sunray black-rhodium elements and polished blackened gold indexes. Movement is in-house manual-winding caliber 15GSQ beating at 4Hz with 67 jewels and 1, 053 components, combining grande and petite sonnerie with two selectable four-note melodies (Westminster and “Blancpain”), minute repeater, flying tourbillon with silicon balance spring and a fully integrated retrograde perpetual calendar with twin power-reserve indicators.

Crisp and clean sound thanks to the grade 5 titanium case, water resistant to 30m, 48mm. The movement is the awesome caliber GP09560-0001, which just the tourbillon cage alone consist of 140 part weighing 1.24 grams; the calibre is highly complicated, featuring 518 parts. The movement beats at frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour or 3 hz. Power reserve at 60. Reference 99830-21-000-BA6A. Priced at 425,000.00CHF
Case is in 41mm diameter x 9.75mm height; grade 5 titanium with brushed and polished decorations. The watch wears much smaller than the typical 41mm, in fact it feels more like a 40 or even 39mm. Because of the titanium material, it’s also very light, perhaps 50% (my perception) lighter than the Lucent steel brothers. Automatic calibre 01.12-C has 210 components, that beats at an amazing 8Hz frequency or 57,600 BPH. Movement is chronometer-certified by COSC. Power reserve is 60hrs Limited to 250pcs Priced at 19,000CHF
The case is available in three materials: grade 5 titanium, black PVD stainless steel, and 18k rose gold, measuring 53mm x 39mm x 18mm. It’s equipped with five sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating on both sides. This model features dual crowns at 11 o’clock for winding and at 1 o’clock for time setting,with a water-resistance of 30 meters. The dial showcases an open case design with two rotating aluminum domes for hours (left) and minutes (right),and a prominent 14mm balance wheel at the center, branded Bulgari x MB&F. Indices and markers are coated with Super-LumiNova.
Straps are tailored to each case material: titanium cases come with a hand-stitched blue rubber strap,black PVD steel cases with a black rubber strap, and rose gold cases with a green rubber strap. All straps are fitted with a Velcro system and a matching buckle.

One of the main focus here is the replacement of the traditional Swiss lever escapement with the Blade Resonator; which is incredible at reducing friction. The hairspring itself is replaced by a short spring shaped like a bow, on the outside of the blade resonator. This short spring pivots between two opposing blade edges, making a very low angle oscillation, the friction generated is very low; which means power efficiency is very high. This system is completely new and will make revolutionary changes to the industry. Low amplitude (30°) with high frequency (5Hz) offers great accuracy, in fact Renaud believes it can achieve far superior accuracy than COSC. Using a standard mainspring, it can achieve an incredible power reserve of 14 days. The case is made of titanium C shape and the movement is housed in a sapphire cylinder that can rotate 360°, allowing the wearer to choose which part of the watch to admire. Unique piece.

Case is in 18k rose gold in 43mm, sapphire crystal with display case back; water resistant to 30m. The watch is one of Hermes’ rare grand complications; an all new hand-wound Calibre H1926, with a central triple-axis tourbillon and a minute repeater, running on a 5Hz balance. The movement is an extensive development by Le Cercle des Horlogers. Technically complicated but also keeping its elegance, emphasizing Hermès’s rich equestrian heritage, the watch dial and movement details nod to the Duc Attelé carriage, marrying technical mastery with thematic elegance. And if you take a deeper look at the movement construction, you can see it mimic a horse and carriage, and when the minute repeater is activated, the horse will move.
Power reserve is 48-hour.
