My husband was absolutely ecstatic over this watch. The case it comes in is an easy chair and when you open it, there you are, a beautiful watch. It's very attractive and great for adoring fans. I would recommend this to any fan.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Men's Watch H32715551

I scored on this purchase. The wife loves the Green tones. She wears it all the time. She is a very picky person when it comes to items like this, but this watch was a hit.

Review by Oscar Monne Gomez, From Portugal Porto

We continue our round-table discussions on the ladies' categories for this year's GPHG with a look at the jewellery category today. Later this week the editorial team will share its thoughts on the Petite Aiguille category before we turn attention to the men's categories.

Olivier Muller, was lucky enough to see the proofs of the new biography of Jean-Claude Biver before they even reached the hands of the proofreader. This week, he brings us a sneak peek at the book in the form of some extracts that illustrate just why this genius of the watch industry merits an entire book about him.

With business picking up again after the holidays, our editorial team has been out and about nationwide to bring you the latest news from above and below the surface of watchmaking. On WorldTempus this week you can read all about the Swiss National Aerobatics Championships with Hamilton, A. Lange & Söhne's CEO Wilhelm Schmid celebrating the 200^th anniversary of the birth of Ferdinand-Adolph Lange in Zurich (complete with interview) and Carl F. Bucherer making a splash in Lausanne.

The history of Hamilton Watch and Elvis Presley goes all the way back to 1961, when the King of Rock'n'Roll wore the ground-breaking Ventura in the movie "Blue Hawaii." Elvis wore his own Ventura throughout his life and the Ventura became known as "the Elvis watch."
The original Ventura, designed by then-outside industrial designer Richard Arbib, has been a best-seller for the brand since its introduction in 1957. In addition to "Blue Hawaii," the Ventura featured heavily in the "Men in Black" trilogy, looking both vintage and futuristic.

Redesigning an icon can be a huge risk for a brand, as the new design runs the risk of alienating established lovers of the watch and failing to gain traction with new buyers. Hamilton has revisited and modernized the Ventura design several times, in various sizes, while still keeping the original in its collection, something that not many companies have been able to do successfully. In fact, I can't think of another watch from the 1950s that is still for sale in its original design, making the Ventura that much more special.
This year, Hamilton introduced another all-new version of the Ventura, officially called the Ventura Elvis 80.

80 for 80
The Ventura Elvis 80, unveiled in January of this year, is designed to commemorate what would have been Elvis's 80th birthday. In a bit of serious serendipity, the Ventura Elvis 80 Auto uses the new H-10 movement, which offers a remarkable 80 hours of power reserve. Most mechanical watches offer between 42 and 46 hours of power reserve, not enough to get through the weekend. The 80 hours that the H-10 offers means you can take off the Ventura Elvis 80 on Friday evening, put it on your nightstand and it will be still be running when you put it back on your wrist on Monday morning.

The Ventura Elvis 80 is also available in a quartz version. Both the auto and the quartz versions are in 42.5 x 44.6mm steel cases, and the surfaces are alternately brushed and polished. The iconic triangular shape, the unique sloped sapphire crystal covering the rounded dial, the orange second hand and a choice of black rubber or leather strap rounds out the design details.

"Working on the new Ventura Elvis 80 was about the reinterpretation of an icon, the first electric watch from 1957, which despite its 50 years, remains a futuristic model!" says Sylvain Dolla, president, Hamilton Watch. "To keep its revolutionary character, the triangular shape has been preserved. The sloped sapphire crystal and a curved dial give the new Ventura Elvis 80 a very contemporary and technical design. Another objective was the perfect integration of leather, rubber or metal bracelets which was of course a design challenge for this unique triangular shape."

Affordable Sophistication
Like all of Hamilton's watches, the Ventura Elvis 80 is very reasonably priced - the Auto version is $1,495/1425 chf/1,295 EURO, while the quartz version is $1,045/995 chf/945 EURO.
 

Both classical and classy in appearance, the new Jazzmaster watches offer the contemporary woman the choice of an automatic or quartz movement. Feminine charm comes in the shape of teardrop indexes, sculptured nickeled hands integrating white Super-LumiNova® and a delicate, shimmering sunray pattern on the dial.

These duo of watches comes in a 30 mm stainless steel case. Both are fitted with a midnight blue strap or a white leather strap easily accessed thanks to the easy click feature.

Watch brand HYT (Hydro Mechanical Horologists), launched in 2012, is managed by five partners, with Vincent Perriard as their CEO. A graduate of the Neuchâtel business school, he started out working for communications group Trimedia before joining Audemars Piguet in 1995 as communications director. He moved to Hamilton in 1999 as international vice-president for marketing, and in 2000 became one of the co-founders of the Brand DNA agency, working as its CEO for six years. After a spell as president of Concord Watch and then CEO of TechnoMarine, Vincent Perriard was seduced by the revolutionary HYT project in 2011.

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.

Two new RailRoad timepieces connect Hamilton's deep-rooted tradition of transportation timekeeping with technology and design that love to access undiscovered territories. Alluding to the brand's title as "The Watch of Railroad Accuracy", gained in nineteenth century America, they integrate styling elements from pocket watches of that era. The RailRoad Auto Chrono has a coiled length of track accommodating a tachymeter, while the RailRoad Small Second has a new propriety movement affording an eye-catching dial layout. In this article, the RailRoad Auto Chrono watch is in highlight.

The case of the RailRoad Auto Chrono, with its rounded edges, vertical brushing and tapered pusher protectors, transports the imagination directly to the times of pocket watches. No longer confined to pockets, today's timepiece is secured by a stylish stainless steel bracelet or a black leather strap with fine stitching.

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 began karting at the age of 8 and was very soon spotted by Ron Dennis who saw in him a rising Formula 1 star. In 2002, he moved up to racing cars, winning the English Formula Renault championship the following year. 
In 2004, he moved on to the F3 Euroseries, where he notched up 15 victories, 10 of the fastest times and 13 pole positions and where, a year later, he won the title. His rise continued in 2006 as he won the GP2 championship with the ART Grand Prix team. 

This young prodigy's career, made up of eagerly accepted challenges, will flourish this year in Formula 1 as he joins the two-time world champion, Fernando Alonso, as part of the McLaren Mercedes Vodafone team. 
TAG Heuer is proud to count Lewis Hamilton among its ranks - never a man to refuse a challenge - and wishes him great success in the formidable world of Formula 1.

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.
