Linde Werdelin launches their first women's watch

Linde-Werdelin-white-3-timer-fr.jpg

Linde Werdelin is proud to announce the launch of its first women's watch to be added to its existing array of watches. The White Watch, based on the popular 3-Timer model has been given a softer and more elegant touch while a new strap has been fitted to accommodate smaller feminine wrists.

The 3-Timer's refined design constitutes the perfect model on which to base LW's first women's watch. Starting from the delicate pattern of the dial to the slender, sleek hands and discreet indexes, bearing the minimum luminous material possible and combined with the white colour details, The White Watch is designed to easily complement a lady's wardrobe. "Women today tend to prefer and wear bigger sized watches and I am very pleased that our designs although male marketed are appealing to women as well. Maintaining the brand's DNA is very important for LW and The White Watch is no exception" says Morten Linde.

While the strap mechanism remains the same, the white calfskin chosen for the new model has a reduced width which allows the watch to sit well on slender wrists. With white as the dominating colour the dial and calfskin strap match the details in colour on the screws and 24-hour bezel markings.

On the decision to add a women's watch to the Linde Werdelin collection, Jorn Werdelin commented "It is not our intention to produce a women's line, but because of the strong market request and Morten thinking that it could be an interesting design exercise, we are launching today The White Watch."

Like all Linde Werdelin watches, The White Watch can carry both The Rock - extreme ski instrument - and The Reef - dive instrument - maximising the user's sporting moments.

The White Watch is limited to just 51 pieces.

Retail $5,899/€4,680

In addition to the Admiral's Cup collection that is already celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2010, the Admiral's Cup Black Chronograph 40 already has the makings of greatness. Loyal to the aesthetic design that has forged the collection's admirable reputation, it proudly bears the identity codes of its siblings: a 12- sided case and nautical pennant hour-markers. Featuring a 40 mm diameter, well suited to ladies' wrists, the newcomer clearly tops the bill right from its first appearance. It is equipped with a chronograph that asserts its sporting nature, while clothed in intense black and diamonds that proclaim its feminine spirit.

Having earned international recognition as Corum's sports watch collection, the Admiral's Cup has been pay- ing tribute to the world of sailing for half a century. The bold aesthetics of its 12-sided case have made it an iconic model that is one of the four brand pillars alongside the Corum Bridges, Romvlvs and Artisans lines.

Hamilton Seaview Collection and Presentation of the New Seaview Medium for Ladies

The watches in Hamilton's Seaview collection are in a category that is arguably the most important amongst timepieces today. I am talking about the everyday watch. A watch that looks good and professional at at the office whilst being able to withstanding a day of sports and sunbathing at the beach. Watches like the Submariner or the Seamaster embody the everyday watch philosophy. If you must have only one watch it will probably be a timepiece from this style. Within the Seaview collection there are variations for different tastes. The Auto Chrono for those who crave luxury and the 1000FT for lovers of the rugged sporty look, for instance. At Baselworld 2010, Hamilton made sure that the lady watch enthusiasts were well served by releasing several new mechanical watches for women. Amopngst these is the new Seaview Medium Automatic, which is a stunning example of an everyday timepiece.

Ulysse Nardin Caprice Tiger in White Gold

Ulysse-Nardin-Caprice-White-Tiger.jpg

Caprice Tiger in White Gold.

A woman, like the tiger, possesses a mysterious poetry of strength, power and sensuality, emitting a presence that is both commanding and curious. Ulysse Nardin feeds her fantasies with the Caprice Tiger: a jewel of a timepiece worthy of a fierce fight.

The Caprice Tiger in 18-karat white gold transfixes those who cross its path. With eyes made of emeralds and a form glistening with diamonds, the tiger, although dreamlike, appears alive, as if it's moving stealthily through the grasses. It is a creature of wonder, as enchanting and mystifying as the woman whose wrist it adorns. A piece of jewelry that stands confidently in its own splendor, the Caprice Tiger illustrates the convergence of high horology and breathtaking aesthetic.
