Gucci goes classic

The Classic Collection is the big news at Gucci this year. A range of styles and variations is available, from the smaller feminine sizes to the unisex medium. A larger model with a chronograph movement speaks of the Gucci lifestyle, with design cues from yachting and marine sports.
There is a stunning version of the 27mm model that features a diamond bezel encircling a mother-of-pearl dial set with 12 sparkling diamonds.
The Gucci Classic timepieces are available with steel, leather, rubber or PVD bracelets. Leather and rubber options bear the signature GG imprint on the inside of the strap.

The collection also offers a wide selection of dial colours, including jet black, brushed silver, pure white or classic Gucci brown.
Iconic details that are the signature of all Gucci timepieces run throughout the collection, from the Gucci ‘G’ shadow monogram on the watch face, to the Gucci diamond motif discreetly displayed on the dial, or the green-red-green web on the sports models, these finishing flourishes serve to underline the rich history behind this collection.
The Gucci Classic Collection was designed by Gucci’s Creative Director, Frida Giannini.
"As Gucci approaches its 90th year, the House is enjoying a unique duality which counterbalances modernity with heritage, innovation with craftsmanship, and trends with sophistication,” says a Gucci spokesperson. “Gucci has been designing and developing watches since the early 1970s, and the result is cutting-edge timepieces designed to last a lifetime.

“Underscoring this duality is the launch of a new worldwide ‘Timeless’ advertising campaign, which draws on two separate images from Gucci’s photographic archives, both featuring 60s style icons Verushka and Peter Sellers,” the spokesperson continues. “Looking as fresh, relevant and fashionable today as when they were first shot, the timeless quality of these photos reflects Gucci’s exceptional fashion heritage and its nearly nine decade legacy of quality and innovation. This backdrop offers the perfect context in which to showcase three new products from the latest collection of Gucci Timepieces: The G-Gucci, The I-Gucci and the Gucci Classic Chronograph. All these watches are destined for discerning customers who will appreciate the iconic details - that are the signature of all
Gucci timepieces."

Basel Preview: Corum Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Admiral’s Cup, Corum is launching the Admiral’s Cup Minute Repeater Tourbillon 45. The movement, caliber CO 010, took 12 of Corum’s best watchmakers 2 years to develop. Corum wanted to avoid the traditional slide to wind the repeater, fearing that on a sporty watch, it might catch on something and damage the mechanism. The solution was to wind the repeater via the bezel.

The repeater components were conceived and developed to guarantee the precision and beauty of the tone by considering its power (expressed in decibels), its precision (note correctness), its richness (expressed in number of partials), and its reverberation (duration of each note). The minutes-rack, placed at the heart of the ringing mechanism, is inverted compared to traditional minute repeaters in order to bring strength and precision to each note. It has also been enlarged to permit a wider lift angle to each tooth, extending the time between notes. The racks hitting the gongs are made out of ultra-resistant and hardened steel. Fixed to these racks, countersprings have been specially conceived to find the best balance of the hitting strength and speed. During the ringing, the rhythm is regulated through the rotation of an inertial flywheel, visible on the movement’s back. The gongs, manufactured from an alloy featuring a composition and thermal treatment that are a closely guarded secret, have been adjusted to strike the hours with an A note and minutes with a C sharp note. These two notes have not been chosen randomly, their specific sequence forms a major third (two tones) with a more cheerful harmony than a minor third (one and a half tones). The precision of the whole mechanism is guaranteed through a Tourbillon with Silicium escapement and pallets offering reliability and durability.

The hand-wound movement is 32mm in diameter and only 5.35mm thick with a 72 hour power reserve. Each surface is hand-finished: circular-grained components, black polished steels – in particular the strike-hammers and Tourbillon Bridge – circular-grained decoration of the plate and Côtes de Genève finish of the bottom bridges. The 45 mm diameter case 18kt red gold.

It takes a master watchmaker about 140 hours to assemble each movement, which consists of 319 components. An additional 10 hours is devoted to perfecting the repeater’s sound. Only 10 pieces will be produced in 2010. The suggested retail price is $290,000.

The birth of a classic

To all watch aficionados and admirers of Patek Philippe, this is a reference you will want to remember: Chronograph Ref. 5170J. It is the ultimate chronograph from the Geneva manufacture, equipped with the very recent movement, the Calibre CH 29-535 PS, totally developed and produced in-house by Patek Philippe. A manual-winding, column-wheel chronograph, this new reference replaces the very famous chronograph Ref. 5070, based on a Lémania calibre, and well known to all collectors.

The latest in a prestigious line
With this new and remarkable creation,
Patek Philippe completes the collection of its own chronographs, a collection that was started in 2005 with the introduction of the thinnest (5.25 mm) flyback manual chronograph movement ever made. It was also the first chronograph wristwatch entirely designed, developed and fabricated in-house. Produced in the traditional manner in a limited quantity in the haute horlogerie ateliers at Patek Philippe, this very prestigious movement—with its two column wheels, two push-pieces, the possi-bility to store reference times, as well as its many other technical and aesthetic features—created a sensation from its first introduction in a series of ten pieces in an Officer style platinum case, the already famous Reference 5959P
.
This offer was expanded in 2006 with the launch of the
Reference 5960P, the first automatic chronograph wholly designed, developed and realized by the manufacture. With the addition of the famous patented Annual Calendar mechanism, this new automatic column-wheel chronograph included a flyback function and indicators for power reserve and day/night. With a totally original construction, it also featured a dial that was elegant, dynamic and well balanced with its very characteristic single counter regrouping the chronograph’s hour and minute counters. This same movement also equipped, with its single counter, but without the Annual Calendar, the Nautilus chronograph
.

Already a grand classic
The new Chronograph Ref. 5170J has everything for it to become a
grand classic
. With very pure and clean lines, devoid of additional complications in order to ensure absolute readability, this new chronograph comes in an 18 carat yellow gold case of harmonious proportions (39-mm diameter, 10.9-mm thickness, and 21 mm between the horns), and a design that is evocative of the decade from 1940 to 1950.
This classic look is strengthened even more by a silvered opaline dial, decorated with ‘railroad’ type minute indexes along its edge, as well as a pulse metre graduated for 15 pulsations. Six classic applied indexes and two Roman numerals (XII and VI) in 18 carat yellow gold are placed around the dial. The delicate hour and minute ‘baton’ hands are also in 18 carat yellow gold, while the technical aspects of this chronograph are emphasized by a black oxidized ‘arrow’ chronograph hand, with a counterweight in the centre of the dial.
Against this plain background are two large white auxiliary dials with a blued motif, the small seconds at 9 o’clock with its 18 carat ‘baton’ hand and an instantaneous jumping 30-minute counter with a ‘baton’ hand in black nickel at 3 o’clock.

The art of the chronograph
This grand classic with a clear design is the perfect reflection of the movement,
Calibre
CH 29-535 PS, that ticks away under the dial. Created at the end of 2009, this movement already equips the very recent and acclaimed Ladies First Chronograph. As Europa Star has already described (see issue 6/09), this movement may seem ultra-classic but, under this traditional appearance, it includes six new patents. While these new patents are not revolutionizing the sector, they are actually doing more, in a certain way, by notably improving the substance of timekeeping and by directly contributing to a deeper understanding of the art of the chronograph.
On paper, this movement has, in fact, all the attributes of watchmaking purism applied to the chronograph: column wheel with a polished cap; S-shaped toothed-clutch lever system; elegant and refined chronograph gear bridge; minute counter gear bridge; large four-spoke Gyromax balance with four poising weights vibrating at a frequency of 4 Hz or 28,800 vibrations per hour and Breguet balance spring. The ensemble comprises 269 elements, all harmoniously placed in an extremely small space (29.60-mm diameter and 5.35-mm height).
There have also been notable improvements in terms of energy transmission, reduction of friction, increases in precision and reduction in vibrations or unevenness of the hand movements—all this while offering greater operational reliability as well as providing
watchmaker
s easier access to its various organs in case adjustments are needed.

Six patents
One of these patents provides for an improved penetration adjustment between the clutch and the chronograph wheel thanks to a large ‘eccentric cap’ placed directly on the column wheel. Another patent involves improved synchronization between the clutch lever and the blocking lever, thanks to a finger piece that directly synchronizes both organs. In this way, the watchmaker only has to adjust one point instead of two. This system also elimin-ates jumps of the chronograph hand when time measurements are started and stopped.
A patented system also involves a self-setting return to zero, thus making it unnecessary for the watchmaker to mechanically adjust the minute hammer function. Still yet another patented advance provides separate jewelled bearings for both the second and minute hammers that pivot on the same axis, each with its own spring. This also improves setting.
Last but not least, the tooth profile of the chronograph mechanism has been optimized in order to increase the efficiency of energy transmission and reduce friction and wear and tear on the movement, while also elim-inating the risk of hand jump in either direction when starting a measurement. In addition, this new calibre is, unlike its predecessor, equipped with a sophisticated and instan-taneous 30-minute counter.
This counter, on which the small minute hand jumps from one minute to the next in a fraction of a second, ensures both great working precision and easier reading.
Among the first to be attributed the Poinçon
Patek Philippe (Patek Philippe Hallmark), this movement distinguishes itself with its special artisanal finishing that adds as much to the elegance of its form pieces and traditionally worked bridges as it does to the care given to all the surfaces, which are usually hand-decorated. It is truly a spectacular piece that can be admired from the back as well, through the screw-in transparent case back made of sapphire crystal.
To all lovers of beautiful mechanical chronographs, you have reason to rejoice—a classic is born.

Rock Stars, Celebrities, Tattoos and UberCool

While growing up in southern France, Christian Audigier idolized Mick Jagger, but couldn’t sing. Instead, he channeled his rock and roll spirit into his work as a Los Angeles fashion designer. Audigier’s Ed Hardy brand of clothing and footwear are worn by some of the most famous bodies and soles in the world. His casual, cool and comfortable clothes and shoes defy the ordinary in every imaginable sense. The Ed Hardy design aesthetic is the ultimate L.A. style ~ decadent, dangerous and cool.

Audigier previously designed for mainstream American clothing manufactures including Levis, Lee and Diesel. His work at Von Dutch transformed that brand, garnering Audigier celebrity attention and cult status.

In 2004, Audigier bought the rights to the tattoo designs of Don “Ed” Hardy, the man considered the “Godfather of Modern Tattoo.” Hardy is a painter and printmaker whose work is part of the permanent collections of prestigious museums including the San Francisco Fine Arts Museum and the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu.

Hardy began working with tattoos as a medium and is known for his bold designs, often depicting images and icons from fringe cultures like surfing, hot rods, and cholo.

Instead of using skin as a canvas, Audigier uses fabric as the medium for Hardy’s original tattoo designs, creating a wild pastiche of form and color that is sexy and subversive.

His client reads like a Who’s Who of the Hollywood A-List: Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, Jamie Foxx, Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Dave Navarro, Madonna, and even her daughter Lourdes (who is featured on their website in her Ed Hardy togs), among others. On the left coast, anyone who is someone or wants to be someone wears Ed Hardy clothing and shoes.

For spring 2007, the collection of Ed Hardy shoes focuses on comfort and cool, and tweaks some traditional styles in unusual, often whimsical ways. They’re introducing a new ballet style flat this spring that is far from demure. Thin leather flats in an array of colors are embellished with tattoos of eagles, skulls and flowers.

Espadrilles are also an important part of the spring collection. High espadrilles in bright fabrics are decorated with tattoo flowers and animals across the tops of the foot. Low espadrilles in muted colors are designed with simple black, cholo style tattoos of wild animals and skulls.

The “Rumor” style of high top sneaker is another standout for spring. Panthers, leopards, and eagles boldly scream out from bright yellow, orange and green backgrounds.

Audigier’s rock and roll ethos and wild blend of images and colors carry into his casual clothing line, too. His body conscious line of Tshirts and tank tops are decorated with tattoos, geishas, and skulls and are embellished with rhinestones, studs and foil.

New this spring are longer tanks and tunic style tee shirts, perfect with skinny jeans or leggings. Hoodies are a big part of the collection in fabrics like cotton, felt and Lycra. Comfortable drawstring shorts and capris and board shorts are also emblazoned with tattoos.

Ed Hardy spokesperson Megan Dorsey says that their clothing line is popular because L.A. is seen as trendsetter in terms of style and fashion and people across the country want to emulate the look. “People like that style,” said Dorsey. “They want to wear what the celebrities are wearing.”

Dorsey said that there isn’t a typical Ed Hardy customer and that their clothing appeals to people of all ages. “Our customers tend to be fashion forward. They’re for someone who likes to be a trendsetter and express themselves through their clothes and shoes. They’re for someone who likes to stand out.

Ed Hardy’s super-hot clothing and shoes are available at www,jordan23forever.com

Hublot’s New Model

Hublot and Czech supermodel Veronica Varekova, an ambassador for the African Wildlife Foundation, are joining together to support a great cause and promote Hublot’s new women’s watch line. Varekova and Hublot held a press conference at Cipriani’s Downtown in New York City this past Thursday to announce their joint effort and to unveil the latest timepieces from the line. Varekova will be Hublot’s first celebrity representative for its women’s collection.

Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver was on hand to talk about the brand’s new campaign. Biver affirmed that more and more women desire to wear a timepiece that resembles a man’s watch. He added that Hublot’s inspiration for the line is to create a watch that is “strong, powerful, natural and big” and that uses “innovative colors and materials” symbolic of the modern woman.

Biver also commented on the importance of helping others. “The sharing process is the foundation of the Hublot family,” he asserted. As part of Hublot’s partnership with the African Wildlife Foundation, the organization’s logo will be incorporated into many of Hublot’s campaigns. Several joint events will also be held in support of the foundation’s cause.

Biver also used the occasion to announce that Hublot is opening a four-year watchmaking school at its Swiss factory. Each year, 25 participants will embark on a program that will teach them watchmaking skills at the highest level.
