Ref. 8095 U-42 GMT Case 50 mm Titanium. Limited Edition 888 Units

U-BOAT CHIMERA NET TUNGSTEN Based on the quintessential Chimera, the 46mm Chimera Net Tungsten watch is created in a limited edition of just 999 pieces. Its case is crafted of stainless steel with a polished tungsten bezel.

Tungsten is the strongest natural metals and is often used in military and electrical applications where even a small amount can significantly increase the strength of the alloy. The bezel and the caseback are locked together by external tubing and a customized key to ensure absolute water resistance.

The chronograph features a patented crown release system. The multi-layer dial consists of three superimposed discs, and a lower layer is made of a laser-cut stainless steel fine wire that enables partial viewing of the movement.

Retail: $7,500.

U-BOAT CHIMERA SKELETON TITANIUM The Chimera Skeleton Titanium watch, created in a limited edition of just 499 pieces, is a perfect example of the creativity of Italo Fontana, creator of U-Boat.

by AROLA that is modified, totally skeletonized and highly decorated. The movement is visible from the sapphire crystal and caseback.

On the cover: DIRECTOR

Armin Strom Edge Double Barrel Unveiled to the world earlier this year at Baselworld, the new Armin Strom Edge Double Barrel represents a new design for the brand in both movement architecture and case elements – complete with notched and cutout bezel and larger (46.8mm) case size.

The watch is a bolder, more geometric timepiece than other Armin Strom timepieces and is meant to appeal to today’s active customer who wants something different. The manual-wind wristwatch offers a vigorous intensity thanks to the strong aesthetic, but remains true to the brand’s DNA with skeletonized movement parts.

VORTIC RAILROAD EDITION A relatively new name in watches, Vortic is also incredibly unique in its approach. The watches—each one is unique—are American made and are powered by restored pocket watch movements. Making them even more intriguing is the fact that the cases are 3D printed titanium. The 51mm RailRoad Edition is part of Vortic’s American Artisan series and each watch houses an original manual wind, lever-set movement from a vintage 1880’s-1950’s RailRoad grade pocket watch made by one of the various great American watch companies of the time (Ball, Elgin, Hamilton, Illinois, Waltham). Because the movements are original and refurbished/restored, each is a one-of-a-kind piece. The titanium case, with see-through caseback, and lugs are 3D printed and hand finished. The coinedge bezel is machined from solid 316 stainless steel.

Just ten pieces will be made in 2016.

Retail: $3,000 - $7,000.

VORTIC POWER RESERVE The Vortic Power Reserve model is one of the first fullyU.S.-made production watches built since the 1960’s.

It features an all-new power reserve configuration of the caliber 1003 from Pinion Precision Technology in Los Angeles. This manual wind movement is based on a classic swiss piece with the goal of delivering consistent, reliable, precision timekeeping. The Power Reserve line, which offers 46 hours of power reserve, features grand feu enamel dials, titanium 3D printed 45mm cases, meticulously decorated movements, and top-notch components. Water resistant to 20 meters, the watch is a work of art, history and high technology.

It is sold in a handcrafted walnut box.
