Richard Mille's Tourbillon Split Seconds Watch


Richard Mille's Tourbillon Split Seconds may create a false impression of transparent plastic, but this tourbillon-featuring chronograph nestles in an impressive case cut and milled from solid blocks of sapphire. Alongside being a pioneering material-choice, the difficult machining process and the 350 hours of polishing work, the skeletonized RM 056 manual-winding movement can keep up with the intricacy of the case and strap. The RM 056 is entirely crafted for long-time precision, features a titan base-plate on which more than 400 parts finds place providing its future owner hours, minutes, chronograph split seconds, power reserve, torque and function indicators.

Hublot King Power Unico GMT watch




Hublot introduces its year end model, called the King Power Unico GMT watch, which has plethora of time zones on its dial. 
Like most from Hublot, this watch also comes with the usual round dial ring, with smoothened but well defined edges of the overall chassis. Same is the case with the Hublot logo engraved side crown.
Available in black ceramic and 18-carat King yellow gold options, the central unit features the carved multi-layered main dial, which has 6 time-zones on the upper ring, 4 on the inner ring, and the layers beneath that. 
While 2 geometrically carved hands try to display the hour and minutes, which can be guessed only through their positioning, a ‘+’ shape carving in between point out 4 of the time zones in 24-hour format, displayed on the 4 corresponding micro-dials alongside, which have red Arabic numerals, on steel finishing surfaces.
On the inside, there is the HUB 1220 automatic GMT tourbillon movement, which has 72 hours of power reserve after every recharge. We are yet to know the detailed anatomy of the movement components, but we are sure about it being rather complicated to support the 24 different time zone functions.

Breguet Ref. 5839 Marine Tourbillon High Jewellery watch


This Breguet Ref. 5839 Marine Tourbillon High Jewellery watch is a diamond encrusted version of the Ref. 5937 from a few years ago. 
Breguet outfitted the watch case and dial with an impressive amount of diamonds, but still was able to retain that signature Breguet Marine watch look.
The 43mm wide 18k white gold case as about 11.77 carats of stones on it. One of the neatest parts is how Breguet was able to maintain the coined edge of the case using specially cut diamonds. Also not the unique pattern the diamonds create for the bezel. On the dial smaller diamonds are set in the middle of the dial and don't overshadow the hands. The dial itself is silvered 18k gold. Overall Breguet did a great job giving a men's jewelry watch a functional face.
Inside the watch is a Breguet caliber 554.4 manually wound tourbillon movement with the time and a chronograph complication. The watch has 50 hours of power reserve with special features that include a silicium balance spring and escapement wheel.
