Wristshot of the month: Hublot Laferrari introduced at Baselworld 2013

This is the latest masterpiece by Hublot.

The Laferrari boasts 5 barrels providing 50 days of powerreserve, and I am assuming that this has to be a world record for a mechanical timepiece.  I do not know of any other timepiece which has 50 days powerreservice.
 
This watch is limited to 50 pieces worldwide, and due to its price of appx. 300000 Swiss Franks, I am assuming it will be rare to see in the world.  Nevertheless, this shows the true capabilities of the Hublot Manufacture showing that they can master a highly complicated and innovative wristwatch.  

Vincent Plomb et Vicenterra

 I had the great pleasure to meet Vincent Plomb, creator and founder of Vicenterra, at Baselworld this year.

 The GMT-3 as this watch above is called has quite a load of functions, it has a retrograde date indicator, shows hours, minutes and seconds in a subdial, and has a day and night indicator.  And wait, I missed something, in the lower right corner, what is this? Well, you see a sperical earth which looks really cool and unique.  The movement is based on an highly modified ETA 2892.

 Abovce some impressions of the new upcoming Vicenterra timepiece.

 Some closeup shots, you can see the perfect execution of the dial.  For those who like big watches, this watch is BIG.  Very large, but wears really comfortable on your wrist as I tried it on mine and I truly do not have a mega big wrist. 

 A view on the movement enriches the retrograde date indication.

 The sperical earth is like a small ball turning according to the timezones.

 Merci a Vincent for taking time to meet with me and spend an amazing 2 hours talking about his watches, about the watchindustry and his future plans. 

I am looking forward to see what Vincent will come up with next.

Rolex Daytona Reference 16520 white Floater, not enamel dialed Floater

In the late 1980s, Rolex introduced a new Daytona carrying a Zenith El Primero Movement which was heavily adjusted by Rolex. 

Among the early Daytona 16520s, there was also an Enamel white dialed version with Floating dial.  However, this example here is the same kind of Floater dial without enamel dial, according to Rolex experts this has to be probably the rarest version of the Zenith Rolex Daytona.

This Floater is an L-Series, in perfect condition, not a single flaw on the dial.  While Box and Papers are missing, the condition of the case and overall watch compensate for the lack of them.

For those who do not know what Floater or Floating dial means, it refers to the "Cosmograph" writing being set off from the above 4 lines.  It kind of looks like it is "floating"...

Baselworld real life Tudor Chronograph Ref. 70330B pictures

Tudor released their latest edition of the Chronograph Heritage 70330B at Baselworld. The watch shows its true heritage with the original Tudor Chronograph Ref. 7169 Montecarlo from 1973.

Fratellowatches has written a nice review about the previous Heritage. Now, what do you think about this new edition?

 40 years have passed but the look has only changed slightly.

My friend and professional photographer Marcus had the opportunity to view and shoot pictures of the latest Tudor Chronograph at this Baselworld.

Quite a contrast to the large cased Panerai 372. 

Wristshots of the Tudor Chronograph 70330B.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
