Introducing AP's Most Complicated Wristwatch, The Code 11.59 Universelle Ultra-Complication
The Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime and the Reference 6300, the Franck Muller Aeternitas Mega 4, the Vacheron Constantin Celestia or the Superbia Humanitatis by Piguet/Muller/Gerber… Many watches have claimed the title of the most complicated wristwatch, and all were undoubtedly wonders of miniaturisation and exceptional horological developments. Audemars Piguet is familiar with the concept, with multiple Grande Complication wristwatches in the collection. Today, the brand goes much further with the Code 11.59 Universelle Ultra-Complication, also known as RD#4. Equipped with 23 complications, 40 functions, a new Calibre 1000 with no fewer than 1,155 parts… All served up in a surprisingly reasonable 42mm case size and a price to match the feat. Meet AP’s most complex wristwatch to date.?The name of this new watch, the Code 11.59 Universelle Ultra-Complication, pays tribute to a historically important model for the brand, the?L’Universelle pocket watch, one of th

Introducing The New Norqain Adventure Neverest 40mm Line
Norqain and mountain climbing adventures go hand in hand. Founded just three years ago, the logo of this successful independent ?Swiss brand is a mountain peak. Today, Norqain releases the Adventure Neverest Line, a sub-collection in the Adventure family that marks the brand's charitable partnership with the Butterfly Help Project to support schooling for children in Nepal. Three new models kick-start the partnership and mark the first Adventure models to be fitted with Kenissi manufacture chronometer-rated calibres, a new 40mm case size, increased water-resistance, the removal of the date window and a screw-down crown. The textured white dial of the Neverest Glacier model replicates the phenomenon of glacier crevasses on the most dangerous stage of the ascent to the summit of Mount Everest.Brief BackgroundIt's encouraging to see how far this independent family-run company has ascended in such a short period of time, but you could say that it had a good head start.

the brand new IWC Pilots Watch Timezoner Chronograph IW395001 - Monochrome Watches
For this 2016 edition of the SIHH, the entire Pilot’s Watch collection of IWC is about to be renewed, with first some highly cool vintage inspired editions but also the classics: the Big Pilot’s Watch and the new Mark XVIII for instance. However, IWC isn’t just about to refresh some known models but they are also?about to launch a brand new watch, which certainly is one of the most practical ever, as combining a chronograph and a world-timer, which permits the user to set a new time zone using just the bezel. Not the purest edition of them all for sure, but still a real novelty to discover now. Here is the?IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph IW395001.In terms of pilot watches, what are the needs: a superb legibility (in order to spot in a wink, whether during the day or at night-time, the required indication), the ability to make speed or consumption calculation (and thus a chronograph has a lot of sense) and the ability to know the time it is in the country you&#
