This Hermès Cape Cod Chaine d’Ancre features a 37 mm “square within a rectangle” 316L steel case with anti-glare sapphire crystal and water resistance to 3 bar. Its dial is rendered in a rich blue lacquer, adorned with matt rhodium-plated “Chaîne d’Ancre” hour markers. At its heart is a Swiss quartz movement (18.6 mm, 6 jewels) powering the hours and minutes. The watch is fitted with a Malta-blue calfskin strap in a single wraparound (long size), which is interchangeable via Hermès’ quick-change system.
The Aquanaut Luce collection for ladies welcomes a new, practical and easy-to-use complication: the patented Annual Calendar: a complete day/date/month calendar requiring only one manual correction per year, at the end of February. The manufacture is thus enriching its offer of complicated ladies’ watches with a non-gemset model.
The iconic design of the rose gold case and bezel with a rounded octagonal shape is enhanced by the contrast between polished and satin-brushed finishes. The contemporary “sporty chic” style is reinforced by the blue-gray dial and composite strap with Aquanaut pattern.
This Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer model features a 44.25 mm stainless steel case with a black ceramic bezel ring that includes the famous tachymeter scale in orange wording and Liquidmetal™ numbers. The black leather strap is micro-perforated revealing an orange rubber interior.
On the matt black dial, there is a distinctive racing style minute-track which gives the watch its name. There are also two subdials with blackened applied rings as well as a 6 o’clock date window that blends with the colour of the dial. The hands are a mix of varnished orange and white, while the arrowhead indexes are 18K white gold with white Super-LumiNova.
The watch is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer 9900, certified by METAS at the industry’s highest standard.
The first ladies collection by F.P Journe a revolutionary horological concept
Always ahead of his time, conciliating tradition, innovation and modern technology, f.p.journe has developed a revolutionary horological concept for his first ladies collection. It was designed and conceived exclusively for women, with extremely precise technical specifications to provide this watch a long autonomy of 8 to 10 years in daily use and up to 18 years in standby mode.
8 years of development were necessary for this innovative movement that combines a great comfort of use and the performances of an electro-mechanical watch with feminity, elegance and precision. The “élégante” allows the time to be stopped and started again. This is the dream of all watchmakers…
The concept of this electro-mechanical watch features a mechanical motion detector visible on the dial at 4:30. When the “élégante” is motionless, it goes in stand by mode after 35 minutes to save its energy and the hands stop turning. During the standby mode, the microprocessor continues to keep time, while the mechanical parts – gears, rotors and hands – stop moving. When the “élégante” is moved again, the hands sets themselves automatically to the current time, taking the shortest path – either clockwise or counter clockwise.
All the mechanical elements of the “élégante” movement are manufactured by f.p.journe, based on the brand’s own criteria of excellence in state-of-the-art haute horology. The electronic components are made in switzerland according to exclusive standards, with a microprocessor specifically created for the watch.
The luminescent dial of the “élégante” in the titanium versions recalls the shimmering surface of white mother-of-pearl. It offers maximum legibility, by day and by night. At night the hands count off the hours, as in a shadow theatre. As a finishing touch to his first ladies collection, f.p.journe has chosen a flat tortue case, whose design is trademarked.
As françois-Paul Journe says: “i created this watch because for 20 years, women have been asking me to design a watch for them; a watch that was different and comfortable to wear, and that suited their needs and desires. I therefore created this long-lasting watch especially for them. Today the “élégante” features the only electro-mechanical movement conceived and created for the luxury market and offering a true vision of luxury.”
The “élégante” 40mm titanium is available with 8 coloured rubber straps: white, powder rose, orange, chocolate, black, anthracite, midnight blue and khaki green. The ergonomic shape of the straps perfectly embraces the wrist.
From deep space, comes this powerful version of the Moonwatch Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon. Machined from a single block of black ceramic, the iconic 44.25 mm Speedmaster case is completed by a brushed ceramic bezel with matt chromium nitride tachymeter scale.
The dial is again created from polished black ceramic and features blackened applied subdial rings at 3 and 9 o’clock, as well as 18K white gold applied indexes.
Driven by OMEGA’s Co-Axial Calibre 9300, this bold timepiece is finished with a black nylon strap that includes a new ceramic and titanium foldover clasp. The hands are diamond-polished 18K white gold, except for the central seconds hand which is polished, rhodium plated with a red tip.
