Bell & Ross presented a new WW2 Tourbillon timepiece at Baselworld which established an entirely new design concept for Bell & Ross, and is sure to come in for an exclusive landing with committed collectors of the brand.Bell & Ross deviated from its classic watch design and ventured into silver lined clouds to produce a new and dynamic version of its WW2 Tourbillon watch. Even tourbillon collectors that have never owned a Bell & Ross watch may be persuaded to embrace the limited edition WW2 Tourbillon.WW2 Tourbillon was presented at Baselworld this year and although it will not be available for retail until end of year or start of next year 2014, Bell & Ross fans will undoubtedly be clamoring for this amazing timepiece.At first glance WW2 Tourbillon almost has somewhat of a Steampunk appearance because of its ornate cut-out cover plate which provides an ornate look of its  exquisite grey or anthracite colored dial. However, WW2 Tourbillon presents with more a refined and polished aeronautical look, especially with its titanium tourbillon.WW2 Tourbillon’s watch dial has the vintage look of a military style WW2 aircraft’s instruments further authenticated by the seconds and indicator hands. The leather strap is tan and has a weathered appearance which adds to its rugged yet elegant appeal.As mentioned earlier WW2 Tourbillon will not be available for retail until end of year or early next year. It is a limited edition timepiece of only 20 pieces and will sell for $130,000. More details regarding WW2 Tourbillon will be available at the time of its release for sale.WW2 Tourbillon is an incredible watch and the first of in Bell & Ross entire watch collection to captivate my attention.

Harry Winston showcased its incredible watch design prowess masterfully articulated in two amazing timepieces editions donned Monochrome.Baselworld experienced a horological big bang of epic proportions this year with watch manufacturers pushing all the right technical buttons and innovative watch design envelopes to such aesthetically heights that they enraptured the minds and wrists of connoisseurs and industry professionals around the globe; and Harry Winston profoundly asserted its innovative design dominance expressed in two Monochrome edition watches: Midnight Monochrome Automatic and Ocean Dual Time Monochrome.Midnight Monochrome is Harry Winston’s formal version of the two Monochrome timepiece editions. Midnight makes a refined statement in a 42 mm 18K white gold case (and 9 mm height) that is accentuated by a slate or grey colored textured dial. Its presentation includes 18K white gold applied hour markers and hour/minute hands, a date aperture window at 6 o’clock and the signature Harry Winston logo at 12 o’clock.Midnight features a Girard-Perregaux caliber GP3300 movement which consists of 191 components. It beats 28,800 vibrations per hour, and has twin barrels which allows for 45 hours of power reserve, all of which is protected under sapphire crystals for both the case and caseback. Midnight is adorned with a hand-sewn black alligator strap which has an 18K white gold ardillon buckle.Ocean Dual Time Monochrome has to be Harry Winston’s most appealing of the two Monochrome edition timepieces. Everything about Ocean Dual Time invokes stunning aesthetic that are absolutely amazing. Ocean Dual Time visually stuns in a 44 mm brushed Zalium case.  Zalium is a Harry Winston exclusive alloy consisting of zirconium and aluminum which is both light weight and exceptionally resistant to corrosion.Ocean Dual Time features two time sub-dials, for home and abroad, and has both a day and night indicator for each time zone – phenomenal. The dual day/night indicators are displayed on two separate disks featuring a sun (for day) and stars (for night) respectively for each time zone (home and abroad). The dial also features a large date which is displayed horizontally by two fully visible date disks. These disks and sub-dials are contrasted by an elaborate hand brushed and finished baseplate which gives Ocean Dual Time an incredible time reading presence.Ocean Dual Time also features GP3300 movement which is assisted by Harry Winston exclusive module AGH2841. The combined automatic movement is the HW1001 which consists of 272 components and 35 jewels. Ocean Dual Time possesses the same power reserve and vibrations per hours as Midnight. The movement is slightly off center and is also visible through a sapphire caseback. It is adorned with a rubber strap with diamond-point finish and a Zalium folding buckle.Ocean Dual Time is a limited edition of 250 pieces and as alluring as it is it will not be available for long.Written by Chaz Nash

Below is an excerpt of the entire article on Fratellowatches. Click Baselworld 2013 – Stainless Steel Rolex Yacht-Master II Reference 116680 to read the entire article. For us, one of the nice surprises this last Baselworld was definitely the stainless steel Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116680. A few years ago, Rolex introduced the Yacht-Master II. It wasn't a successor to the Yacht-Master ref. 16622 but an addition to the collection. While the Yacht-Master was connected with yachting, there was no specific feature of the watch that would support the men on boats. Except for being water resistant. The Yacht-Master II is one of the few Rolex watches with a 'real' complication besides a date feature. The regatta (countdown) chronograph will help skippers in the yachting competition to have a perfect start. In this article, we will tell you how it works.The post Baselworld 2013 – Stainless Steel Rolex Yacht-Master II Reference 116680 appeared first on Fratellowatches - Opinions on wa
