Review by Victor M, From Hong Kong Kowloon

This sophisticated automatic ladies' watch expresses the sheer beauty of overcoming technical challenges. Integrating a cut-out flower into a mother of pearl dial was indeed no easy task. The elaborately decorated Hamilton H-20-S movement that reveals itself through the petals is a justified source of fascination.

In the widely spoken language of color, blue is said to exhibit inner security and confidence, very appropriate for the skeletonized construction. Navy blue is used in the design of the two new Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton Lady models, for example in a fashionable, satinized strap, and saluting the fine art of watchmaking is a flamed blue second hand. The 36 mm diameter case is delicately set with 68 diamonds.

So you've read the advice from some of the world's top retailers and, whether you're buying a watch as a gift or as a treat for yourself, you have decided that you are looking for something blue. And that you don't want to spend any more than 3,000 Swiss francs or the equivalent thereof. Here are some options.

Emile Chouriet Challenger Deep
Named after the deepest point on the surface of the Earth, Emile Chouriet's first diver's watch offers the usual water resistance to 300 metres, unidirectional rotating bezel and luminous indications on the dial. But it also offers a ceramic coating on the bezel, a feature usually only found on much more expensive diver's watches. Powered by a self-winding mechanical movement and available on a steel bracelet or rubber strap (as well as with black or silvered dials), the Challenger Deep is available for an unbeatable 1,500 Swiss francs with tax included.

Frederique Constant Slimline Manufacture
At just a whisker over 3,000 Swiss francs (3,190 for the rose gold plated model) or just under (2,830) for the stainless-steel version, Frederique Constant's Slimline Manufacture series has to be one of the most competitively priced classic watches on the market, particularly when you consider that it is fitted with the brand's own FC-710 in-house movement, which offers a 42-hour power reserve. Our blue choice has a subsidiary date indication by hand at 6 o'clock, a domed navy blue dial with hand- applied hour markers and a matching blue alligator leather strap.

Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer Aluminium
A revival model from the 1970s but with a distinctly contemporary theme and a trendy NATO strap, the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer is excellent value at only 1,050 Swiss francs. For this you get the brand's H-10 self-winding mechanical movement, which has an impressive 80-hour power reserve and a lightweight aluminium case with a special coating that not only gives it its distinctive blue colour but also increases the hardness and durability of the aluminium. It's impossible to get bluer, with the case, bezel ring, dial, strap, buckle and crown all matching in colour.

Vulcain 50s Presidents' Classic
It may not have the alarm function unique to Vulcain's Cricket calibre but it does instead have the Vulcain calibre V-56 self-winding movement, which offers a power reserve of 42 hours. In its Classic version the Vulcain 50s President's model comes with an understated dial with a sunray finish, available in blue, silver or black with a matching alligator leather strap. Price: 2,980 Swiss francs.

When taking colour as your sole point of reference, you can run the entire gamut of watches, from in-your-face fluorescence to the subtle gradient of richer colours on the dial of a more classic piece and all points in between. Take a look at the photo gallery above to see what we mean.

A fluorescent yellow-green has become the signature colour of HYT watches after the company started out showing the hours on its watches by the movement of a liquid in this colour. In the latest limited-edition H1 model, the same colour grabs the attention on the case of the "Azo project", named after the type of polyepoxide used in the manufacture of the case.

A simple change of strap colour can make a big difference to a watch, as Bell & Ross demonstrates with the bright orange canvas strap on its limited edition BR 03-94 Carbon Orange model. Orange is the colour reserved for essential information in a plane's cockpit and thus fits perfectly with the brand's aviation associations.

Hamilton, on the other hand, goes for a tone-on-tone extension of the blue background and red accents on the dial of its Pan Europ model with a matching stripy textile strap. The result is a watch that looks as if it was made for the summer. Blue is also the logical colour for the new Abyss 44mm chronograph by Hysek, especially when teamed up with a matching blue leather strap. Swivelling lugs on the lightweight titanium ensure that it adapts perfectly to the contours of your wrist.

On its Marine "Deck Chronometer", L. Leroy opts for brown tones reminiscent of the teak found on vessels when the company used to produce marine chronometers for over thirty different naval forces. H. Moser & Cie. takes things a step further with its new signature smoked red-gold dial on the Venturer Small Seconds, adding a pleasing new hue to the palette of dial colours.

Today's Pan Europ watches continue the series' tradition of showcasing technological advancements - the original Hamilton Pan Europ, introduced in 1971, contained one of the world's first automatic chronograph movements: they are powered by a brand new, high-performance automatic movement. The H-30, with its 80 hours of typical power reserve, is rooted in sporty design that is both chic and dynamic.

Modern materials and color schemes translate the Pan Europ heritage into an eye-catching contemporary timepiece. The circular dial flows into angular lugs to frame a turning bezel with an aluminum ring. Color is king and supports timekeeping and styling. White reflector on the dial and hands with Superluminova literally make the hours and minutes leap out. Fiery red takes control of the markings from 12 to 3 o'clock and of the fine second hand. It also makes an appearance in stripe form on the textile straps and to cover the surface of the round cut-outs in the black leather ones. The days and dates are displayed at 3 o'clock mark.

The Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Gents features a contemporary decoration, ranging from brushed, skeletonized rotors to an intricate 'H'-pattern on individual elements. The generously dimensioned openings displaycomponents such as the escapement, hairspring and barrel at work.
The traditional watchmaking technique of skeletonizing meets its match with high-tech laser-engraving.
 

Visible on both sides of the timepiece are the watchmaking techniques employed to create the H-20-S "engine" of the watch. Angles and curves join forces to make the dramatic, anthracite-colored cut-outs occupying the majority of the dial and even offering stolen glimpses of the wrist below. Multi-level rings displaying detailed markings from 0 to 60 and the branding frame the dial. Contrasting with the artistic statements of the skeletonizing are applied Super-LumiNova® indices for further technical punctuation.
Two bracelets are available: a five-row stainless steel bracelet or a black leather strap.
 

Urwerk & Jackie Chan
The star of martial arts comedies, Jackie Chan, found himself instantly drawn to Felix Baumgartner's muscular creations at a private presentation in Paris (photo) and quite naturally asked to wear them on-screen. Launched in China although not yet in Europe, Chinese Zodiac shows three very unexpected UR-202s worn by Jackie Chan and his team. This is a great piece of exposure for Urwerk, and all the more so because the hilarious actor even manages to take photographs with his timepiece !
Hamilton & Bruce Willis
You don't change a winning team. In the Die Hard saga, Bruce Willis once again wears a Hamilton but has picked a new model. After Die Hard, Back to Hell, the toughest guy of successful action films shows up in Die Hard, a Beautiful Day to Die with a Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic on his wrist (a classic style that is surprising for Bruce Willis who may have a double personality?) In the film, his charming and muscular son, Jai Courtney, wears a watch that is better suited to elevated testosterone levels - a Hamilton Khaki X-Patrol. Hamilton has adopted a habit of partnering with science fiction movies, such as the very futuristic 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick, or more recently I am Legend and the very popular trilogy Men in Black.

The Jazzmaster is the undisputed star of the Hamilton collections. After devoting two in-house (ETA-based) movements to this range, the H21 and H31 chronographs with their 60-hour power reserves, Hamilton unveils the H20s - of which the letter 's' stands for 'skeleton-worked'. Available as of early October 2013, this Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton will be the brand's first three-hand skeleton model.
Hamilton also welcomes a second new movement, H12, that will also be used in the Jazzmaster collection, but this time for a new Regulator model (a timepiece in which the hours and minutes hands are not placed on the same central pivot, but offset in two separate counters). "This is a movement developed with the support of the Swatch Group but which will be offered to other brands in addition to Hamilton", says Sylvain Dolla, CEO Hamilton International.

This invaluable economic, logistic and industrial support is doubly beneficial to Hamilton. First of all, by enabling it to meet b demand that has seen the brand record "double-digit growth for seven consecutive years", as Sylvain Dolla points out. It can thus offer an extremely diversified range of products to a "young, urban clientele often making its first purchase in the field of mechanical watchmaking", adds the CEO. "These customers are also increasingly better informed: they arrive in the boutique with a good knowledge of the models and sometimes even with screen captures from our website!".
The second positive repercussion of the Swatch Group backing is the extremely attractive pricing of the models, mostly falling within the CHF 500 to 1,500 range. Given its ongoing success, does Hamilton intend to move upmarket, including in terms of price? "Definitely not!" insists Sylvain Dolla. "In this price segment, we have a wide-open road ahead of us for many years to come".

Limited-edition movie presence

Anyone acquainted with Hamilton is aware that the brand has been highly active in the field of cinema since the 1950s, from the first Elvis Presley feature films to action flicks such as Men in Black, Die Hard and Fight Club. "We work on a daily basis with the Los Angeles studio accessorists", explains Sylvain Dolla. "It is generally they who come knocking on our door, making specific requests for an upcoming production. They don't have any specific watchmaking knowledge, a fact that sometimes leads to some daunting mechanical challenges in order to give horological shape to their cinematographic visions!"
This year, the vision is embodied in the Jazzmaster Face 2 Face. It is based on the principle of one watch with two independent movements. The visual effect of this 888-piece limited series lies in the fact that each of the two faces reveals either a chronograph or a three-hand dial, juxtaposed with the skeletonised rotor of one of the two automatic movements. This imposing Face 2 Face model with its outsized oval-shaped 53 x 44 mm case displays a striking contrast between the displays and the movements and the void surrounding them and taking up as much if not more space.

Button's chances of making it a McLaren one-two were damaged by a KERS problem that affected him right from the start.
Hamilton said: "To have Jenson on the podium alongside me was great - great for me, great for him, great for the team, and a great boost as we move towards the end of the season. The team has been fantastic all weekend - the strategy, the pitstops, everything - really top-class. The whole package came together today and I owe everyone a big thank-you. This is so uplifting - for the team and for me. To be able to walk away with a smile feels just fantastic: victory is good for the soul."

Lewis Hamilton drove an utterly faultless race today, taking the lead at the second corner and controlling the gap back to Fernando with consummate skill over the remaining 54 laps. It was Lewis's 17th career grand prix victory, all of them scored for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and TAG Heuer on his wrist, his third of the season, and the sixth time this year McLaren Racing Team had occasion to pull on their famous Vodafone rocket-red victory T-shirts.

Congratulations to Lewis, Jenson and the entire Vondafone McLaren Mercedes Team !

Lewis Hamilton won a tense three way battle for victory in the German Grand Prix, beating Fernando Alonso and the pole sitter Mark Webber.

 
Hamilton jumped Mark Webber's Red Bull at the start for the lead, lost and regained it before beating Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Webber to the line.

An error-strewn drive saw Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel finish fourth. Jenson Button was forced to retire for the second race in a row after his car suffered hydraulic difficulties.
 
A second victory of the season - and his 16th career victory - leaves Hamilton 82 points behind Vettel with nine races left to go.

If you are going to spend six adventurous months on 'paradise island' with diving and swimming as your daily activities, and if your tools need to be highly functional, ultra-resistant and extremely durable, what would you bring? The Alpina Extreme Diver 1000 Meters watch, tailor-made for this modern-day Robinson Crusoe, sounds like the perfect choice….
Ben Southall, a 34 year old Brit is a real-life Robinson Crusoe, recently appointed Island Caretaker of Australia's Hamilton Island for a six-month period -also known as 'The Best Job in the World'. The organization 'Tourism Queensland' launched the idea to promote the Great Barrier Reef by offering a prize that money cannot buy -the chance to 'work' on the island for six months, starting July 1st, 2009. After reviewing 36,648(!) applicants from 201 countries, 610 hours of video and 450,000+ votes, Ben was selected. The 'discerning' job description requires him to 'explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, scuba-dive, make friends with the locals and generally enjoy the tropical Queensland climate and lifestyle'. Part of his responsibilities consists of being the International Ambassador for Queensland. In thoroughly modern fashion, Ben is expected to report back to Tourism Queensland -and the world- regularly via his weblog, a photo diary, video updates and interviews.

Ben is a hardworking and gregarious individual who enjoys setting goals and reaching targets that most people find impossible to comprehend, let alone achieve. He has spent the last ten years traveling extensively throughout Africa, working as an Events Manager and organizing an annual music festival for charity. In his spare time, Ben keeps fit through trekking, swimming, running, climbing and preparing for his next challenge, which is never far away. For more information, please check out his website http://afritrexben.blogspot.com.
 
Ben explains one such event, 'The Afritrex charity endurance challenge (in 2008) consisted of ten physical challenges which I set myself, to complete five marathons and climb five of Africa's highest mountains, spaced out over a period of a year across the African continent'.
Swiss Watch Manufacturer Alpina Geneve is delighted to become part of this exciting adventure by offering Ben a brand-new Alpina 'Extreme Diver 1000 Meters' watch. Supposedly, this is the perfect wrist instrument during the execution of his duties and timely investigation of the Great Barrier Reef islands.

The Khaki X-Mach takes Hamilton aviation watches to exhilarating new heights with its facility to measure the Mach number of an aircraft, the speed it is moving through the air divided by the speed of sound under the same atmospheric conditions. This sophisticated chronograph timepiece expresses the inspiration of the skies through relentless attention to detail and bold looks reminiscent of the cockpit. The Khaki X-Mach assures happy landings for its stylish wearer, with a combination of soave elegance and mechanical fascination.

Mechanics in motion
Pilots simply set the pressure altitude (PA) and calibrated air speed (CAS) measured by the instrument in the cockpit by turning the left crown of the watch to reveal the Mach number in ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) conditions on the bezel. This transforms the timepiece into a stunning portable Machmeter. For wearers with their feet firmly on the ground, the Hamilton Khaki X-Mach watches increase the exhilaration factor with dynamic, sporty design. Aviation-inspired style elements include wing-shaped metal and carbon-fiber surrounds to protect the crowns, as well as nostalgic flying-jacket style stitching and studs on the bracelet. Tiny red touches, for instance at the tip of one of the counter hands, remind of high-precision cockpit instruments. A compass-style arrowhead on the back case symbolizes speed and signs off the ultimate aviator's style statement.
Flying colors
All of the variations of the Hamilton Khaki X-Mach have a smooth black dial with easy to read silver-colored indices and matching counter frames. There is a choice of a black or silver-colored case with fine white or black numerical markings around the bezel to give it the look of an altimeter. The date display is at 3 o'clock and framed with a shape resembling the wedge put underneath a plane's wheels when it is stationary on the tarmac. Its surface is finely decorated with an elegant 'Clous de Paris' guilloche pattern. For the bracelet, wearers can either select brown leather to coordinate with the flying jackets, headgear and gloves of yesteryear, or contemporary black leather or rubber attachments. In all of its interpretations, the Khaki X-Mach is ready for take-off, on airport and fashion runways.
