F.P. Journe Chronometre Bleu Review

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Inspired by the Chronomètre Souverain, F.P. Journe proudly unveil its latest creation – the Chronometre Bleu watch which boasts high precision and perfect Chronometric virtues. And this new piece also pushes the brand to new high in watch making.

F.P.-JOURNE-Chronomètre-Bleu

The Chronometre Bleu, sized at 39mm, is done in Tantalum, a rare metal with grayish blue tint. Tantalum is normally used in aeronautical applications due to its high resistance to corrosion and wear. But is rarely applied in watch making since it has a fusion temperature of 3000° and a density of 16.3 and thus very hard to manipulate. And the watch makers of F.P. Journe succeed in introducing Tantalum in modeling watch cases for the first time.

The chrome blue dial perfectly matched with the nature tones of the case. Without power reserve indicator, it is a simplified version of the Chronomètre Souverain. The slim hands and the elegant Arabic numerals are one of the most impressive marriages I have ever seen. Together, they offer highly legible time reading all the day round. And small seconds subdial with beautiful guilloché decor appears at 7:30. And the label “Invenit et Fecit” at 12 means that each F.P.Journe exclusive movement guarantees a manufacture calibre, invented, constructed, and assembled entirely in our Geneva workshops.

Well, beating inside the watch is the Calibre 1304 bearing the the label “Invenit et Fecit”. This hand-wound movement is done in 18K rose gold and beats at a frequency of 21,600vph. It is fitted with two barrels that ensure the watch with adorable 56-hour power reserve. You may enjoy the the balance and escapement through the display case back.

The Chronomètre Bleu will be available in November at all F.P.Journe Boutiques in New York, Beijing, Paris, Tokyo, Geneva, Hong Kong and Boca Raton, as well as throughout all authorized F.P.Journe retailers worldwide

ChronoSwiss Has Opened a New Boutique in New York

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I believe many person have the same question before “ChronoSwiss”: Why a German watch brand is called “Chrono-Swiss”? It is quite ridiculous.Well, receently we got the official saying on this matter: though all ChronoSwiss is a German brand, and all ChronoSwiss watches are assembled in Germany, every part of the watches are made in Swizerland. Does it make sense? Anyway, I love the brand’s watches as well.

chronoswiss-soho-store

Well, to welcome the shopping crush of upcoming holiday season, ChronoSwiss has opens a new boutique in SoHo SoHo on West Broadway of New York City to strengthen their populity in the USA. And the official opening ceremory for this boutique will be held on December 2nd from 7-11pm.

The front of the new boutique looks quite charming and tasteful. The brick look is simple but classic, and the banner that showcase part of a ChronoSwiss watch dial is very cool and inviting. Though the large windows, we can see some display tables containing some watchs. Except the the brand name that subtly appears on one of the windows, no other intimidating sign for the brand is spotted. I think the inside of the boutique is also of good taste and flair, though I have not gotten the chance to visit there.

Bulova Accutron Kirkwood dive watch

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Bulova is under the wing of the famous Citizen Group, and the Accutron is a sub-brand of the Bulova. And that is why you can see the “Bulova Accutron” on the watch dials. Japanese have a custom of the branding, and then sub-branding, which may confuse American and European who have different tradition in branding. Well, Accutron recently released a brand-new Kirkwood dive watch.

bulova-accutron-kirkwood-watch

As you can see from the picture, the watch features very long lugs that you can hardly see from Swiss brands and a well-constructed rotating diver’s bezel. And the case, sized at 44mm, is available in steel with rose gold ion plating and normal steel. And the rose gold plated version has brown dial with wave pattern, and steel version has blue, black or silve dial. And on the dial, there is a porhole at 12 o’clock which sublty includes the bland logo and reveals part of the finely decorated Swiss automatic Sellita SW 200 movement (Same at ETA 2824-2). And the hour markers are large, thick and fully luminous, making the reading extremely adorable. Protecting the dial is the sapphire crystal. And the watch is water resistant to 100 meters. 

The strap feels like rubber, but it is actually made from polyurethane. And the watch also comes with a steel bracelet option. As far as I know of, the Bulova Accutron Kirkwood dive watch will be available in the holiday season. And the price range is likely to be be in the $1,000 – $1,300 range. So we are offered with a very handsome dive watch that will not break the bank.

Marvin M114 collection for Holiday Season 2009

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Marvin, a respectable watch maker of 160 years of watch making history, unveils its M114 collection for the upcoming holiday seacon. The collection contains one PVD rose gold version and one stainless steel version. With modern designs and sophisticated appearance, the M114 is an attactive mixture of refinment and style.

Marvin M114 collection - Rose Gold

The M114 inherits the rectangular shape of the M014 collection. Sized at 38 by 50mm, it can make quite an impressive presence on your wrist. Aside from the sapphire crystal at the front, the case also features nice lugs resulting from fine curved polished and satin brushed finishes. Like all Marvin watches, the M114 is coupled by a black jack leather strap with red interior and Ardillon buckle bearing Marvin logo.

The dial, available in black or silver with carbon fibre pattern at the top and bottom, attracts attention with an open work that reveals the escapement of the the Sellita SW 200 automatic mechanical movement. Also interesting is the distinctive half-circle-shaped seconds subdial whose reading is indicated by a central hand featurig half red and half skeletonized design. And you may notice that the 8 o’clock hour maker comes with iconic red tone. And I love other red tones that adds a sporty touch to the dial as well.

 The movement carries the realiable quality of Swiss-made and has a power reserve of 38 hours. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters.

The retail price is likely to be 990 euros PVD pink gold version, and 890 euros for the stainless steel version. And both versions carry a two year warranty.

Ventura Watches Will Come Back Soon

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Speaking about the watch brand Ventura, I think of Kinetic watches by Japanese watch brand Seiko as they adopt similar method to power their quartz movements. And the method Ventura  watches adopt is called “micro generation system” which power quartz movements via an automatic rotor. And I am a huge fan of Ventura watches that feature simple shapes, unique modern flair, and distinctive Bauhaust twist. Unfortunately, this brand declared bankruptcy a few years ago for some reasons unknown, which was regared by some people as the portent of the luxury bubble burst. And it was right. Later, the luxury bublle did burst. But in fact, Ventura was not a very luxury brand and was not that overinflated like many other brands. Its bankruptcy was still a mystery today.

Ventura mgs watch

This morning, I am excited to hear that Pierre Nobs, the founder of Ventura, has declared that Ventura will come back soon thanks to new funding.  And Pierre Nobs will take charge of the reborn Ventura. I wonder, if reborn Ventura will continue to make high-end quartz watches and luxury mechanical watches that the brand was so famous for before ? As a huge fan, I can not wait to see the new release from Ventura. In addition, I am also thrilled that Ventura will have their new timepieces available at their coming website as I am used to shopping online. Anyway, not a few signs tell me that reborn Ventura will be much more modern than what it was.

If you love Ventura watches, save money and get ready for their new release now. And as far as I know of , the price range for existing Ventura watches is between $1,500 and $5,000.
