Glashütte Original recently introduced their new Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar at Basel. This model offers a calendar display that displays day, date, month, moonphases and leap year, automatically adjusting itself for the varied length of months.

The upcoming James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, will feature a new limited edition Omega Seamaster. The Limited Edition Seamaster Planet Ocean (pictured) will be available in a limited number of 5,000 pieces. The watch features a polished and brushed stainless steel case and bracelet with a self-winding movement. The watch is capable of withstanding water pressure down to a respectable 600 meters assisted by a helium escape valve. The Quantum Solace logo is imprinted on the sapphire crystal, very cool if you are a collector I guess. One other notable design element is the textured black dial which was inspired by the grip of a Walther PPK, 007's weapon of choice.

[ Cvstos ] I like the collaboration between Cvstos and Pagani. The end result is a very pleasing design. The Cvstos Pagani Zonda F Chrono is made of a high grade 5 titanium with double sapphire dials. The crown and push pieces feature the same design theme as the car. The rotor was made to replicate the wheel of a Pagani roadster, and of course, is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.

On 28 September 2008 in Singapore, the world's greatest drivers and cars will challenge in not only Asia's first street race but the first ever night race in FORMULA 1™ history! Richard Mille is an amateur racer with an unquenchable thirst for speed and power! 'His racing machines for the wrist" are designed with the same aspects for precision, performance, aesthetics and endurance as F1 cars and drivers, Mille's calibres were put to another dimension of rigorous tests when his close friend, Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa began 'test-driving' his watches in 2006. To celebrate Felipe Massa's inaugural Grand Prix in Singapore, Richard Mille has developed a special edition of RM 011, Its carbon fibre flange around the dial is colored in red and hour indexes in alternate red & white to replicate the colors of the Singapore's national

I recently received a test unit of the new Casio Riseman GW-9200. Here are some photos of the new top of the line G-Shock. This new model now has 6-band atomic timekeeping, meaning it can automatically calibrate the time as long as it is about 1800 miles from one of the 6 atomic clocks; Colorado, Germany, Japan, Japan, England or China.

[ via SwissTime ] Louis Moinet is proud to present what many experts already consider to be one of the world's finest tourbillons.
