Bulgari Octo Bi Retro Steel Ceramic

The new Bulgari Octo Bi-Retro luxury watch is is the most interesting offering from Bulgari this year. Like the Gerald Genta Octo Bi-Retro model, it has the same exterior design but with a few enhancements to be in line with Bulgari’s current design language. The watch comes in a generously sized 43 mm case, with a studded satin-finished black ceramic bezel. Powered by the same GG7722 automatic caliber, with jumping hours functions, and a pair of retrograde hands to indicate minutes and dates. The Octo Bi-Retro is due for release very soon with an estimate price of about $ 10,000-20,000.

I have never owned a Ball Watch nor have been a big fan of watches with gas tubes, but this Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Spacemaster is really exceptional. A futuristic evolution of its Hydrocarbon line, this watch uses a Swiss automatic ETA caliber 2836-2 (COSC-certified chronometer) movement; 41.5mm wide steel case; with patented crown protection system designed to deliver exceptional water resistance up to 333 meters; an extremely secure butterfly buckle has two diver’s extensions in it; and a luminous unidirectional rotating bezel that has been flattened for enhanced grip.

Designed to always tell time with style, this Gucci Classic Unisex is a fashionable addition to any men’s or women’s wardrobe. This diamond timepiece, with 44 white diamonds surrounding the bezel, has a polished stainless steel black PVD plated casing with a black or green rubber strap. This is a luxurious watch that is very stylish and loaded with diamonds. It uses Swiss Quartz ETA G10.211 H1 movement so expect more accuracy than those wind-up watches.

The Jurassic Tourbillon, whose dial contains fragments of authentic fossilised dinosaur bones, takes us on a journey into the past, around 130 million years ago. Qualified as exceptional by experts, the colour and veining of these precious witnesses to our past underwent a meticulous process of preservation. A veritable initiatory exploration, this first piece of a limited series of 12 watches comes in a time-travelling case: the Time Explorator. This “treasure chest of origins” features an “engine-room” comprising counters, handles, levers, gear-trains and pipes in copper and brass. Made of acajou, the Time Explorator is three metres long and two metres high. Its nine windows, which represent the key dates in the history of man, are an invitation to make unexpected discoveries.

Ventura V-tec® Sigma

Chosen for its futuristic design, the v-tec® Sigma played an important role in Nicolas Cage’s recent film “Bangkok Dangerous”. Created by the Swiss designer Paolo Fancelli, winner of numerous prizes, the v-tec® Sigma is part of the Ventura collection of innovative and contemporary models characterised by an inimitable style. With its patented EasyScroll® system, v-tec Sigma®’s multiple functions can be used intuitively rather than manually. The watch’s longevity is prolonged by the hardened Durinox® stainless steel case and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The v-tec Sigma® comes on a rubber strap or hardened steel bracelet.
