Armin Strom - One Week Manufacturer Calibre ARM09

Presented for the first time last November, the ARM09 calibre is manufactured 100% in-house and is a real mechanical treasure trove. No fewer than 146 components were needed to create this hand-wound movement with its exceptional 7-day power reserve. The well-informed connoisseur will also appreciate the crown wheels that can be seen turning on the dial side, an innovation that presents a truly captivating spectacle!

Watch enthusiasts, however, will have to wait until Baselworld 2010 before they can admire the models of the new One Week collection that house this sumptuous movement.

Cristian Jacques - EOS

A blend of pink gold and chocolate tones, this limited edition of 100 Eos watches from Christian Jacques has been designed with refinement in mind. The combination of an automatic chronograph movement, noble materials – pink gold case and crocodile strap – and highly worked finishing creates a timepiece that is as classic as it is elegant in the purest Swiss tradition.

The movement is Automatic, ETA Valjoux 7750 calibre, 25 jewels, with the case being 18K pink gold, 42 mm Bezel and horns with or without a setting of 128 VS diamonds (1.3 cts), Sapphire crystal and transparent back.
