Ben over at Hodinkee has been shooting some really nice 720P HD watch videos lately, and I could not resist posting at least of few of them. These were actually taken in Geneva, at the Geneva Time Exhibition that ran concurrently with SIHH 2010. Not sure if Linde Werlin and Jean Dunand will be exhibiting at Baselworld 2010, but they did exhibit in Basel last year, so hopefully they will attend again. The Jean Dunand video is below, just hit the "MORE" link.
This video shows the CX Swiss Military Dive Chronograph going through extreme durability tests. High-pressure water from an airport fire truck could not break the case or crystal. Shotgun blasts at close range could not penetrate. And even explosives powerful enough to destroy a car could not pierce the case. But maybe the most significant test, was the test the video does not even show. The water-resistance test. For this test, the watch passed with flying colors. In fact, this is the world's first mechanical timepiece to withstand a depth of 20,000 feet. (Note: There are numerous quartz watches which can go deeper here.)
This is a recent video of Megan Fox, shot in conjunction with her appearance on the cover of the June 2009 print issue of Esquire magazine. She is wearing a black DLC and 18k rose gold Cartier Santos 100 chronograph throughout much of the video.
This is the new Twin Rotating Tourbillons timepiece that Breguet introduced during Baselworld 2009, the world's largest jewelry and watch show. The video was shot handheld, so it is a little shaky, but you can at least get an idea of how it looks.
This is a video of numerous new Bell & Ross watches, from Baselworld 2009. The shots were taken handheld, through the glass of the display cases at the Bell & Ross booth, in Hall 1.
Here is a new video Audemars Piguet produced. It offers an animated look at their newest Forged Carbon Royal Oak Offshore luxury watches.

Jaeger-LeCoultre recently inaugurated a new showcase in Cannes to present its collections. Cannes thus becomes the third Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique in France, alongside the two already located on the Place Vendôme in Paris and in Lyon, and the 28th boutique worldwide. Between the red carpet ceremonies before the daily screenings of the films competing for a set of awards including the prestigious Palme d'Or, the 62nd edition of the Cannes International Film Festival sees the unveiling of a new Jaeger-LeCoultre "embassy". The official opening was presided over by the elegant Jaeger-LeCoultre muse, Diane Kruger, the Deputy Mayor of Cannes, Bernard Brochard, and Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Jérôme Lambert.
