The prominent company Hublot has recently unveiled its new brainchild, the King Power Alinghi watch, which strengthens the brand’s partnership with the Alinghi sailing team. The Swiss Alinghi team represents the Defender of the 33rd America's Cup.
The Hublot King Power Alinghi watch is available with a microblastered black ceramic case, which measures 48mm in diameter. The watch bezel, sculptured from the same material and covered with moulded black rubber, is secured by 6 relief black PVD-treated H-shaped titanium screws. The bezel lugs and lateral inserts are manufactured from black composite resin.
The watch case is also fitted with a crown and push-pieces, sculptured in black PVD-treated titanium with black rubber inserts. On its front side the case is armed with a sapphire crystal with a double-sided anti-reflective coating, which reveals a mechanical beauty, beating at the heart of the new Hublot watch.
Of the many impressive timepieces debuted at SIHH 2010, perhaps the most amazing from a standpoint of sheer technical audacity was the Montblanc Timewriter 1 Metamorphosis--the conception of watchmaking duo Johnny Girardin and Franck Orny, and a product of Montblanc's Villeret-based Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie. This horological showpiece presents a mind-blowing mechanism whereby activation of a slidepiece allows the Montblanc watch to transform from one mode into another distinct timekeeping entity within a time span of less than twenty seconds. Depending upon what you prefer at any given moment, the Montblanc Metamorphosis can show a dedicated time display with regulator hours, retrograde minutes and a date indicator. It can also shift before the eyes with mesmerizing precision into a chronograph whose functions appear to rise from the very core of the movement, leaving no trace after the slickly accomplished "transformation" that the timepiece in hand was ever anything but a monopusher chronograph!

IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar line was recently filled up with four new models. Now IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar family includes 2 red gold and 2 white gold models.
It goes without saying that this IWC line has no need to improve technically as in the horology the brand occupies the highest quality level in perpetual calendar watch models.
So the IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar line addition was inspired by the IWC watches lovers’ passionate desire for the wider option. The 25-year old IWC house manufactured 50000-calibres with 7-day power reserve. The main watch characteristic is that it needs just one leap day correction in February. For the more wearer’s comfort the watch needs only kinetic energy for the Pellaton winding system.

Born from the dexterous fingers of Hakose San, a genius artist who acted as a master dial maker for Van Cleef &Arpels, the new watches achieved the marriage of the austere purity of the Midnight case and matchless precision of the lacquer work.
The Midnight Extraordinary Japanese Lacquer watches borrowed their names from five traditional landscapes, including Sakura and Ryusui. These sceneries represent a source of ceaseless inspiration for the masters of lacquer craftsmanship.
