Oris Big Crown Original Pointer Date (75475434064LB)

I gifted this to my girlfriend, however, it was too small, and bit into her wrist. Sadly, I had to return it, but I'm sure that if there was a bigger size for me to buy, I'd probably just exchange it.

Oris Classic Date Black Dial Steel Ladies Watch 01 561 7650 4334-07 8 14 63

Very good buy for the money. Looks very elegant, perfect for work. My only complaint (and it may just be mine) is that the clasp is hard to open.

The event offers a unique opportunity to discover the latest collections from Louis Moinet, which will be unveiled for the first time in Mexico. Louis Moinet team will be making the trip to reveal the brand's newest timepieces and meet with fine watchmaking enthusiasts and media representatives.

Among the timepieces presented for the first time, the Memoris will take center stage. Unveiled at the start of the year, the Memoris 'chronograph watch' was recently nominated for the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve, in the chronograph category. Other features will include the Sapphire Tourbillon and the 20-Second Tempograph.

It will be flanked by the Tempograph 20-Second, The timepiece features a large central retrograde second hand. With a continuous twenty-second sweep, it brings the dial to life in a unique manner - a direct nod to the automatons from the Enlightenment era of watchmaking, when Louis Moinet himself was creating his finest timepieces and grandest clocks.

All those acquainted with Julien Coudray 1518, raise their hands! Some may be vaguely aware of the brand name, others of its creations that arrive in sparing quantities on the market, and others may know some of the people behind it. On the whole, however, Julien Coudray 1518 remains somewhat mysterious. WorldTempus raises the veil on ten key elements of the Manufacture.

1. An integrated - and shared - Manufacture
Julien Coudray 1518 is a Manufacture that has just reached its fifth anniversary. So how has this integration been achieved so rapidly? Perhaps because like many others, such as Greubel Forsey and its partnership with Complitime, Julien Coudray 1518 operates in tandem with IMH, the technical source of its production. IMH develops and produces for Julien Coudray 1518, but not exclusively so, since the brand has several external clients.

2. A Swiss-Belgian brand
In January 2015, Julien Coudray 1518 was entirely taken over by an independent family shareholder of Belgian nationality, Joris Ide (along with his son Enzo), who already owned the Lebeau-Couraly watch brand that informed connoisseurs noticed in Hall 1.1 at Baselworld this year. The two brands operate in parallel in two very distinct segments, but they are both served by the shared IMH production facility.

3. Snob-free metals
Julien Coudray 1518 specifically precludes from its production all 'snob' metals in the literal sense of the term - meaning those that are sin nobilitas, lacking nobility, or commonplace. That is why the youthful brand uses only four metals: white, yellow and red gold, as well as platinum.

4. Watchmaking ingot
The Manufacture has a very special attribute: all its components are machined from a single one-kilo block of these metals. From this precious ingot, Julien Coudray 1518 carves out the case, hands, as well as many other components that are not made of traditional brass as is generally done in these modern times. In the case of a platinum model, even the bridges are made of platinum.

5. Bye bye galvano
Julien Coudray 1518 has proscribed any electroplating surface treatments on its creations. Its range will therefore never comprise any rhodium-plated components. All will instead feature a finish - generally a mirror (or specular) polish - applied to the pure metal surface.

6. Four years, four references
Julien Coudray is fond of figures. The brand whose name includes the number 1518 has so far developed and produced four models: the 1515, 1528, 1548 and 1588. Contrary to appearances, these do not refer to dates, but to a century (the 16th) followed by the number of watches to be produced for each reference concerned. The 1515 is thus issued in a 15-piece edition, the 1528 in a 28-piece series, etc. Since Julien Coudray produces only one or two watches per month, this road map will take the firm until at least 2020!

7. Extremely vertical integration
Julien Coudray regroups 30 people exercising 40 different professions, most of which exist individually in traditional Manufactures. Very few however - or in fact none at all - can lay claim to such a ratio between a very small number of employees and an impressively broad range of skills.

8. Boundless tradition
This is a deliberate policy and is observed to the letter: Julien Coudray 1518 honours watchmaking traditions by refusing to use any modern or high-tech materials. By way of example, despite the incomparable breakthrough technological advantages afforded by silicon, the latter finds no place in a Julien Coudray watch movement - or at any rate not for at least a century… until the material itself becomes part of tradition!

9. Horological oil change
Julien Coudray 1518 watches are currently the only models to feature a service indicator in the form of an oil drop appearing through an aperture at 12 o'clock and gradually disappearing after four years as a reminder that it's time for a maintenance service.

10. Two of everything
Julien Coudray 1518 produces a kit of spare parts for each watch sold. Each numbered kit is stored in a safe and can be used when components need to be replaced in 20, 50, 100 or more years' time!

The Bejart Ballet Lausanne company, in collaboration with the Tokyo Ballet, interprets Maurice Bejart's legendary choreography of the IX Symphonie, while the brand known by its twin stars celebrates dance and movement by revealing two exclusive versions of the Petite Heure Minute.

These two timepieces are the result of the collaboration between Jaquet Droz, the Bejart Ballet and the watercolorist Stephanie Barba. The artist is the one who brought the dancers to life on paper, paying tribute to the ballets, to the gracefulness of dance, but above all to movement.

Jaquet Droz discovered the work of an artist with a passion for dance and Maurice Bejart's choreography especially- The sketches were unique; the technique was there. It was all the watchmaking brand needed to initiate a new collaboration and pay its own homage to
dance through the work of Stephanie Barba.

A portfolio of twenty sketches inspired by The Rite of Spring held an immediate attraction for the Ateliers d'Art. The brand's artisans selected two: "The Vulture" and "The Chief".

To give Stephanie Barba's drawings full expression, Jaquet Droz chose the dial of the Petite Heure Minute. Its design, unique to the brand, and the generous space it provided would bring the sketches alive. Available in white gold with a 39 mm diameter and diamond-set lugs and case, together with a blue alligator strap to further enhance the diamonds,
the timepiece featuring the Vulture is set to become a model of genuine distinction. The 43 mm version in red gold with a brown crocodile leather strap shows the red-chalk sketch of the Chief. Both timepieces house a self-winding mechanical movement.

The drawings are painted by hand on the enamel dials and engraved on the oscillating weights, making these pieces true works of art. There are 28 pieces of each.

Early in his career, Heinrich Moser forged ties with the East. Established in 1828 in St. Petersburg, Heinrich Moser founded the company that bears his name, and he soon became known and found success. To sell the elegantly shaped high quality H. Moser & Cie.timepieces, he established a distribution network with independent retailers throughout the Russian Empire and along the Silk Road in Central Asia, Persia and China.

In the footsteps of his father, Henri Moser, who was a tireless adventurer, experienced a similar fascination with Eastern cultures, which led him to amass an incredibly rich and varied collection of objects of Oriental origin. In 1914, he offered these pieces to the Bernisches Historisches Museum, as well as a donation that supported with the construction of the Moser Annex in 1922. With this background, it was a natural choice for H. Moser & Cie. to hold this private event in the capital of Switzerland and invite Bucherer and their customers, as well as partners and friends to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the donation.

Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie., provided the connection between the past and the present, showing that the heritage and entrepreneurial spirit of Heinrich Moser live on through the activities of the Manufacture and its ingenious products.

GMT - No 30, Winter 2012-2013

In just 20 years or so, Harry Winston has become a key player in the field of Fine Watchmaking. Far more than this spectacular ascension as such, its innovative strategic path has proved truly surprising and revolutionary. When the famous 5th Avenue diamond corporation began to launch its own watch collections in 1989, the prevailing economic euphoria often lent itself to some highly debatable storytelling endeavours. Casing-up specialists claimed to be master-watchmakers. A mass-produced calibre was internally referenced to pose as a proprietary or "Manufacture" movement.
Rather than taking this road, Harry Winston opted for a highly transparent strategy and communication. Given the jewellery activity of the House, and keenly aware of the time required to learn the watchmaking trade, the senior management of the famous New York firm decided to concentrate on the design and the external elements of its timepieces, while freely admitting to buying their movements or having them developed by the elite among independent watchmakers (the Opus series).
At a time when doublespeak was the order of the day among watch communication offices, such a strategy was a truly daring and somewhat risky wager. However, devotees of fine watchmaking showed their approval of this sincere attitude. As for watches created by the greatest jeweller and "motorised" with movements from the finest watchmakers, who could ask for more ? Let's see whether this

EXTERIOR
First presented in 2011, the Project Z6 was initially introduced with a non-treated Zalium case before subsequently appearing in gold and then most recently with a DLC-coated Zalium case. The latter version, the object of our test bench, asserts itself by means of a distinctive identity.
An exclusive Harry Winston innovation in the field of watchmaking, Zalium is a zirconium-based alloy traditionally used in aviation. While lighter and harder than titanium, it is also more resistant to corrosion - a range of qualities that make it a metal perfectly suited to the constraints imposed by contemporary watches. The black DLC treatment further enhances the surface resistance and finds in Zalium an ideal substrate guaranteeing a durable finish.
While the case design immediately identifies it with its famous manufacturer, the overall avant-garde aesthetic of this timepiece stems from a deliberate and clear-cut choice. The integrated rubber strap is splendidly crafted. A small swivel of its lug attachments enables a comfortable fit on each wrist. The triple-blade folding clasp could perhaps be sturdier, in harmony with the spirit of this timepiece. While the "trompe l'oeil" cap of the pin buckle is visually appealing, it does slightly complicate handling. The dial deserves a mention as a model of its kind thanks to its exceptional aesthetic balance, technical complexity and high-quality finishing.
MOVEMENT
This model houses a mechanical hand-wound alarm movement by Chronode, probably the most innovative calibre-maker of these past 20 years. It boasts an impressive number of improvements and innovations compared with the rare number of other mechanical alarm movements. A single crown simultaneously winds the barrel driving the going train and that of the alarm. For this reason and in order to avoid any breakage, the two springs are equipped with a slipping spring. Despite the substantial size of the alarm mechanism, the movement has a three-day (72-hour) power reserve, while the alarm itself lasts around 20 seconds when the spring is fully wound. All adjustments are performed via the crown. Only one additional pusher is incorporated to start and stop the alarm function.

One of the most appreciable innovations of this movement is the fact that the alarm mechanism operates in 24-hour mode. An additional day/night indicator for the alarm time and another for the time displayed enables the user to accurately set the wake-up time over 12 hours ahead of time.

TESTS
The three days' autonomy of the calibre of this Z6 meant it was important to take three rate measurements in six positions : one at full wind, one 24 hours later, and the last after 24 hours of operation. At full wind with the slipping spring let down, the mean amplitude was measured at 290° with a 30° delta, whereas the average rate was +2 seconds/day with a 11.1-second delta.
After 24 hours of operation, the mean amplitude remained high, at 281° with a delta reduced to 16°, whereas the average rate was +1.2 seconds/day with a delta down to 8.4 seconds. Finally, after 48 hours of operation, the mean amplitude was still high at 256° with a delta of 29°, whereas the average rate was measured at -2.1 seconds/day with a delta of 7.9 seconds. These are extremely satisfactory results given the complexity of the movement. The alarm sounds for around 20 seconds when the spring is fully charged. The frequency at which the hammer strikes the gong is ideally orchestrated, and the rectangular cross-section of the gong delivers an extremely crystal-clear sound. Purists may perhaps take issue with the fact that the escapement of the alarm is slightly too clearly audible.
All function handling and adjustment is extremely smooth and intuitive. Finally, the Project Z6 Black Edition feels extremely pleasant on the wrist and its 44 mm-diameter case seems two millimetres smaller thanks to its ideal proportions and the perfectly integrated wristband.
 

CONCLUSION
This Project Z6 Black Edition definitely lives up to its promises. It is a beautifully designed technical and useful watch equipped with an alarm function that is the most accomplished to date. If one were to suggest one improvement, the movement maker might think of including an alarm power-reserve indicator. This is because if the alarm is completely wound down, there is nothing to indicate that specific fact, whereas the movement itself might still have a comfortable power reserve. The wearer might tend to forget to wind the watch so as to recharge the alarm. Finally, readability is not the b point of this timepiece, for which the focus has clearly been on the supremely effective design. One cannot but congratulate the brand on this daring choice, which is probably one of the keys to the success of this new creation that has proved itself a visual and auditory delight!

On May 22nd, the traditional charity football match took place at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

Revue FH - 16 September 2010

In preparation for several years, the revision of standard ISO 2281 Water-resistant watches - not to be confused with standard ISO 6425 Diver's watches - is now complete. With it comes the publication in August of the new standard ISO 22810.
It was in 2009 during the ISO/TC 114 congress in Shenzhen that the project made real progress, when a solution was found to the question of marking. With the correct correlation confirmed between dynamic stresses undergone by the watch during nautical activities and the tests described in the standard, ISO 22810 allows use of the «bar» unit or corresponding metres. The mark «Waterresistant » without other indication is also authorised, leaving the producer free to add an indication in bars or metres if the watch has been tested at more than 2 bar, the standard's minimum requirement. While technical requirements remain fundamentally unchanged, the philosophy for applying the standard is different.

The old standard 2281 described tests that the producer had to carry out, on individual pieces or through sampling, in order to qualify their watch as waterresistant.
The new standard ISO 22810 for its part specifies tests which must be passed by any watch designated as waterresistant. It leaves to the manufacturer the responsibility of specifying the tests and sampling plans to be implemented, and also of indicating permitted activities and warranty conditions for the product in question. The producer therefore has great freedom of action but also complete responsibility as regards the customer. An informative appendix completes the document. It outlines precautions for use and some basic notions of physics. In keeping with a rising trend in the field of standardisation, this standard adopts a technical approach but also seeks to give the consumer useful information and afford better protection.

After the official launch of its latest tourbillion watch RM 027 Rafael Nadal at the International Open French Championships, Richard Mille is pleased to announce that it is the new Official Timer of the Aegon Championships 2010, to be held at The Queen's Club in London, from the 7th to 13th of June.

Richard Mille welcomes the partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association, the governing body organizing the tournament, as by becoming the Official Timer the brand further strengthens its commitment to the world of tennis just days after the announced cooperation with Tennis champion Rafael Nadal.
Fascinated by the combination of technology, performance and practical aspects in a wristwatch, Richard Mille wished to prove once more that an extreme reduction in weight could be achieved with total efficiency and accuracy. It is from this key concept that he developed the RM 027 Tourbillon in close collaboration with Rafael Nadal, who has been testing the watch during his training sessions and will now wear it during official tennis matches.

Despite the abrupt, extreme movements and shocks typical of high level tennis matches, the RM 027 Tourbillon has proven its durability while enabling Rafael Nadal total freedom of movement. It is one of the world's lightest mechanical tourbillon wristwatches ever made, with a movement only weighing a mere 3.83 grams.
"I love Rafael's personality, his humility, his love and respect for people, his gentlemanly conduct contrasting his warrior behaviour when on a tennis court" said Richard Mille earlier this month when launching the RM 027 in Paris. "He demanded the best, and encouraged us to go beyond the technical limits. By developing the watch he became much more than a brand ambassador and this watch can be described as a genuine product of Rafael Nadal, not just a mere marketing operation."

"It is an honour for me that someone like Richard has chosen me as one of his ambassadors. Since the moment we met there was a special feeling. I know that he has worked very hard to be able to create this very special watch. I am honoured and I am sure it will be a special and successful partnership," Rafael Nadal said. Nadal will return to the Aegon Championships after missing out in 2009, in an attempt to emulate his remarkable achievements in 2008, when he became the first man ever to win the French Open, at The Queen's Club and at Wimbledon in the same year.
The 120th edition of the Aegon Championships will mark Nadal's first public appearance on British soil playing official matches with the RM 027 on his wrist. Richard Mille himself has confirmed his attendance at the tournament to show his full support to the Spanish champion.
The Aegon Championships is a traditional grass court tennis tournament which is played at The Queen's Club in London, 7th - 13th June, 2010. The Queen's Club has played host to the event since 1890, and has been won by many of the greatest tennis players of all-time, including Rod Laver, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras and Rafael Nadal.
In 2010, the Aegon Championships received its best-ever line-up of player entries, with 7 of the top 12 players in the world signing up to compete. Led by current World No.2 Rafael Nadal, the tournament is also scheduled to feature defending champion Andy Murray, the World No.3 Novak Djokovic and last year's Wimbledon finalist, Andy Roddick on what are widely regarded as the best grass courts in the world.
The event will be screened live, every day, on BBC Television and Eurosport.

Linde Werdelin, the leading sports watches and attachable instruments manufacturer is proud to present of a new addition to the Oktopus family, the Oktopus Moonphase complication. Powered by a Frederic Piguet movement (calibre 1150) and with a moonphase complication built by Danish-born Svend Andersen, this is a unique combination of design and craftsmanship, which depicts the moon phases with photorealistic luminous discs and gives a countdown to the next half or full moon.

With a titanium case and a rose gold bezel and details on the dial, the new Oktopus Moonphase has been designed in a classic yet innovative way to show seven phases of the moon from new to half and full. The disc is entirely made out of Super Luminova enhancing the moonphase effect and is placed along 4 and 8 o'clock to maximize dial legibility.
Based on a F. Piguet automatic movement, the complication is built on the date function to also provide a countdown to the next full moon, read on the moonphase dial. "This allows us to simplify a complicated function like the moonphase and make it easier for the user", says Morten Linde creative director and cofounder of LW. While encompassing the same case dimensions as the rest of the Oktopus models, the Moonphase is embellished with a sapphire crystal case back which reveals the skilfully crafted F. Piguet movement and the rotor bearing the AG and LW logos. It has been tested to withstand the pressure of 888 meters and the integrated helium escape valve at 9 o'clock ensures the watch endures the pressure during resurface time.
"Linde Werdelin's launch of its first complication is an important step for us. We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with Svend Andersen and also start using a F. Piguet movement for our watches" says Jorn Werdelin managing director and co-founder of LW.
On the decision to have the moonphase complication on a divers watch, Morten says, "moonlight creates the perfect conditions for afterhours sports activities and particularly diving. More and more people these days enjoy sports under the full moon. This is one of the reasons why we wanted to produce a moonphase complication for our diver's watch. One can plan their next diving trip by checking when the next full moon is going to be, then clip the Reef for a safe dive."
Limited to 29 pieces, connoting to the days before the next full moon, the Oktopus Moonphase will be available to pre-order from September 2010 on LindeWerdelin.com or from any LW authorised retailer. The Oktopus Moonphase Complication will be launched at BaselWorld 2010.
Background to Linde Werdelin
Launched in 2006 by Morten Linde and Jorn Werdelin, Linde Werdelin watches and clip-on instruments have redefined the world of luxury sports watches by bringing together the very best of Swiss watch making and craftsmanship combined with innovative Danish design and avant-garde technology.
