Introducing 3 New Code 11.59 Grande Sonnerie With Sapphire Dial
One of the few brands capable of crafting such a chiming watch, Audemars Piguet’s Grande Sonnerie mechanism is a patent display of the brand’s formidable mechanical prowess. Combine that with the brand‘s patented Supersonnerie technology and a carillon, and you’re looking at a remarkable chiming machine. Proud to reveal the complexity of the movement, the latest trilogy of Code 11.59 Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie models has done away with the dial. Marking the debut of a sapphire crystal dial in the Code 11.59 collection, these three one-of-a-kind versions come in 41mm pink, yellow or white gold cases with sleek black ceramic case middles.?Grande Sonnerie Carillon SupersonneriePerhaps the highest complication of all, a Grande Sonnerie strikes the hours, every hour, and the number of hours and quarters on every quarter.

Hands-On - Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Chronograph Ceramised Titanium Dial and Orange Ceramic 215.32.46.51.99.001 (Specs & Price)
During the “Time To Move” event organized by the Swatch Group, Omega unveiled most of this year’s novelties. This included, among others, the fully redesigned Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph. Still, this wasn’t the only diving chronograph that Omega was going to launch… It also had this cool, fresh-looking Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Chronograph in orange and grey up its sleeve.This new version of Omega’s professional diving chronograph is in the same vein as the time-and-date PO 600m we showed you recently, relying on the same orange colour for its bezel. This new colour scheme marks a sort of back-to-basics for the brand, which pays tribute to the signature colour used in 2005 when the Planet Ocean sub-collection was introduced.

This departure from the conventional metal segment gongs, which vibrate around the movement to produce sound, marked a significant step for Chopard. Beyond its innovative sound mechanism, the L.U.C Full Strike boasted several remarkable features and a complex design. However, another chiming watch from the brand needs to be mentioned, a slightly simpler but nevertheless exquisite one, the Chopard L.U.C Strike One, which now comes in white gold with a green dial for Dubai Watch Week.However, Chopard’s journey into striking watches predates the L.U.C Full Strike. In 2006, the Fleurier-based manufacture introduced the Strike One with the passing of hours acoustic complication, commemorating its 10th anniversary. This timepiece featured the in-house Calibre 96.14-L, showcasing a visible
