MONTBLANC -1858 ICED SEA & GMT AUTOMATIC DATE

These tool watches are focused on diving and flying functionalities.  The 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date has a unique dial which boasts a specific texture that mimics the characteristics of ice found in glaciers and is a beauty to look at.  The 1858 GMT Automatic Date is meant for world travelers, with a GMT window function that turns red around the perimeter of the dial to indicate the GMT time, or second time zone being tracked.

CHOPARD – ALPINE EAGLE FLYING TOURBILLON

Chopard expands its Alpine Eagle collection with this Flying Tourbillon model.

A 6 o’clock opening reveals the tourbillon mechanism that endows the entire creation with its elegantly sophisticated character.

CARTIER – SANTOS DUMONT

The Cartier Santos Dumont has always been intended as an understated watch, but with the new slew of materials added to the edition showcased at the event, one must note Cartier is taking this up a notch. This new piece cased in rose gold, features a beige lacquer bezel that matches the beige dial. It gives the watch an antique feel while making it stand out exclusively in a class of its own.
