Jaquet Droz
With a dazzling symphony of gems and sparkles, the Grande Seconde Circled presents a model of amazing beauty that exalts the art of Time. It has virtues of gem setting. The pleasure of wearing this luxurious creation at all times is intensified by the radiance of diamonds. This pleasure is embodied in the legendary watch face, with the two overlapping dials. One, at 12 o’clock, marks the hours and minutes; the other at 6 o’clock, which measures the seconds, is larger, as if to assert the primacy of smaller intervals over the traditional perception of Time. This unique time piece showcases Time in its pristine purity, which is intensified by the
sharp brilliance of diamonds.

Victorinox
Named after the alpine helicopter base of the Swiss Air Force and directly inspired by the famous twin-rotor Cougar AS 532 helicopter, the Alpnach Mechanical Chronograph is Victorinox Swiss Army’s boldest chronograph to date. The handsome strap, which is made of the same ballistic nylon used for Victorinox Swiss Army’s exclusive line of travel gear, provides the ultimate level of reliability and durability. The grips on the crown and rotating
countdown bezel, treated with black PVD coating, are modelled on the helicopter’s turbines for better handling. The anatomic reset pusher at 4 o’clock subtly echoes the Cougar’s cyclic stick grip, which the pilot uses to control the helicopter.
