Last year, Zenith unveiled the vintage El Primero collection during the Basel show. Which was, by far, my favorite of their new collections. They had some other nice timepieces as well, but in general, the majority of their designs were not well received. Too many of their designs were so off from the original Zenith look, that the company had begun to lose its following over the past five years. Fast forward to 2010, under the new direction of Jean-Frédéric Dufour, who previously worked for Chopard, Ulysse Nardin and the Swatch replica A Lange & Sohne 223.032 Men's watch Group. As part of his turnaround strategy, he has begun to reduce the number of references, and bring the company back to basics. To start, the company will be introducing an exciting new El Primero Chronograph model, very much like Vintage 1969 El Primero Chronograph they introduced last year, except this one has a more contemporary case design and look.
It also features a very cool new jumping seconds function (foudroyante).Powering the new El Primero chronograph is the new 4052B automatic calibre which is a variation of the famous El Primero movement that was originally introduced in 1969. Like the original movement, the new one runs at the high rate of 36,000 vph. However, unlike the original this version is equipped with a foudroyante (jumping/flying seconds) replica A Lange & Sohne 101.030 Men's watch function. And unlike any other foudroyante on the market, that I can think of, this one can display chronograph times with 1/10 of second accuracy, as opposed to 1/8th or 1/6th, like most jumping seconds chronographs. That is not all though, it can also display the jumping seconds differently than any other watch on the market. Instead of displaying a fraction of a second in a subdial, the measurement is displayed by a central hand. If you have ever seen a foudroyante in action, then you can imagine how mesmerizing this will look in-person. Source: Zenith
Introduced at Baselworld 2010, the Blancpain Carrousel Sapphire is quite an impressive timepiece. It features a rose gold case with a sapphire crystal on the front, back and on both sides of the case. It even features a sapphire crystal in place of the plates and dial, which creates the illusion that the movement is floating inside the case. replica A Lange & Sohne 115.025 Men's watch looks really cool in person. Another key feature, is the carrousel movement (a "carrousel" improves accuracy by negating gravity's effects, much like a tourbillon). A carrousel movement is very difficult to produce, and very rare. Accordingly, the price is what you would pay for a tourbillon, or more. Retail: $240,000Source: Blancpain
