HUBLOT BIG BANG FERRARI SPECIALE GREY CERAMIC Always awe-inspiring, the Hublot Big Bang Ferrari line is now joined by the Big Bang Ferrari Grey Ceramic watch. This timepiece also celebrates Hublot’s 10th anniversary of the Big Bang. Crafted in specially made grey ceramic, the watch is inspired by the historic North America Racing Team (NART). The 45 mm watch is authentically automotive thanks to a Ferrari grid style protector over a skeletonized aerodynamic portrayal of the watch mainplate and movement parts. The Manufacturemade UNICO automatic flyback chronograph movement provides the power and functions.

The dial features the applique of the famed prancing horse at 9 o’clock, and the minute counter and date window are in Ferrari shield colors. The oscillating weight recalls the five-spoke Ferrari wheels. Just 250 pieces will be made. Retail: $29,800

HUBLOT BIG BANG FERRARI CARBON KING GOLD With the collaboration between Hublot and Ferrari now firmly in its third year, Hublot unveils two new Big Bang Ferrari racing watches to join the incredible lineup of Hublot Ferrari watches. Among them: the Big Bang Ferrari Carbon King Gold watch – in a limited edition of just 500 pieces. The watch features an exclusive new bezel made of layered and structured carbon and gold that took six months for Hublot’s R&D team to bring to fruition. The resulting carbon bezel encrusted with gold exudes a bold vintage look that embodies the Big Bang spirit. Additionally, the case of this watch is made of King Gold, an alloy of 18 carat gold combined with platinum for a rich reddish gold luster, then micro-blasted for extra hardness and a silky metallic-effect. The brand’s in-house-made UNICO movement, an automatic flyback chronograph with all black PVD components, powers the watch. The dial naturally features the iconic Ferrari prancing horse logo. Retail: $43,600

Now, Ulysse Nardin unveils its newest example of research, development and daring: the FreakLab. The watch features a reconfigured balance wheel on the dial side and, for the first time in a Freak watch, is equipped with a date function. The FreakLab is also fitted with a proprietary UlyChoc safety system—a new generation of shock absorption developed by the brand. The watch design once again embraces the brand’s history by interpreting the nautical anchor and sail on the balance upper and lower deck. The watch is hands free, constructed so that the movement revolves on its own axis. The lower deck displays the hours and the upper deck (complete with gear train, balance wheel, balance spring and Dual Ulysse silicium escapement) displays the minutes. The revolutionary watch is wound by the case back. For more information on this watch, turn to page 32.

The mainplate and tourbillon bridges are hand decorated and the escape wheel and pallets are made of solid gold. The watch offers a full 110 hours of power reserve. Just 50 pieces will be made.

JEWELL’S AT GALPIN DEFTLY BLENDS WATCHES, CARS

A

Almost since their inception about 100 years ago both wristwatches

and cars have shared an extraordinary relationship of precision, technology and time. Recognizing that synergy and harnessing it in a new and unique way, Galpin Premier Collection – one of the largest and most innovative car dealerships in the world – unveils Jewell’s at Galpin Premier.

At the luxury environment that is Galpin Premier, nestled within an

incredible city of showrooms for Aston Martin, Jaguar, Lotus, Lincoln, Volvo and others, Jewell’s by Galpin (named for the matriarch of the family, Beau’s grandmother, Jewell) has fast become a pinnacle destination for shoppers looking for exciting and unusual luxury timepieces.

“Jewell’s at Galpin was started because we have so many visitors

spending time here shopping for cars, talking to our teams and even waiting for servicing on their cars. It was a natural concept to give them something great to look at that ties in with cars while they are here,” says Beau Boeckmann, President of Galpin. “Of course, at first, it sounds like a strange idea to create a high-end retail experience of watches and accessories inside a car environment, but it is working. Car guys and watch guys are very similar, with great passions for precision and aesthetics,” says Boeckmann.

Always a “car guy” having grown up in a family whose legacy is a dynasty of innovative automotive experiences, Boeckmann says he was not really a watch guy at all. Then he saw the Romain Jerome Titanic watches (with rust from the titanic actually incorporated in to the dial). “It was when everything was diamonds and bling, and along comes this brand using Rust from the Titanic and making their watches even more rare than diamonds. I was hooked,” admits Boeckmann.

Of course Romain Jerome is one of the leading brands at Jewell’s at Galpin, but the store also carries brands such as B.R.M (whose entire line is inspired by the automotive world), Artya, Bremont, and half a dozen others that all have some incredibly high-tech, unusual design or technology element.

“Car guys and watch guys are very similar, with great passions for precision and aesthetics,” says Boeckmann We aren’t looking for the mass-produced brands. We want the small, exclusive, unique lines. It is similar to what we do with our cars and it fits into our customer base,” says Boeckmann.

Jewell’s at Galpin is not the first new venture the family-owned Galpin dealership has embarked upon. In fact, since its founding in 1946 and Bert Boeckmann (Beau’s father) joining the company in 1953, the award-winning automotive enterprise has launched Galpin Auto Sports (GAS), in-house aftermarket customization and other assets for the serious car buyer. The “resort-like” buying atmosphere (whose Aston Martin showroom resembles a vault in British spy-like décor complete with a bar) also includes an in-house Starbucks, a children’s play area, and full-service restaurant. 888-655-2040.

LOUIS MOINET DERRICK GAZ Epic in its technical and aesthetic presentation, the Louis Moinet Derrick Gaz watch deftly blends the art of high watchmaking, automatons and whimsy. The tourbillon watch replicates the extraction of gas from the ground through a derrick (crafted in sculptured gold and rising up on the left side of the watch). The material then journeys past the constantly moving drill, and along the pipeline (the tourbillon bridge) to the right side of the dial where it is deposited into a valve handle, or tube, and stored in a tank made from polished 3161L stainless steel. Winding the watch turns the valve handle, as if to regulate the energy supply to the watch, while a manometer on the derrick indicates the power reserve for the watch. The watch is powered by a 255-part LM42 movement (designed and built in house), and lives in a patented 47mm Louis Moinet 18-karat gold case. Just two versions – each in an edition of 28 pieces – are available.

LOUIS MOINET MEMORIS Last year, Louis Moinet rewrote the history of the chronograph with the discovery that watchmaker Louis Moinet, actually invented the chronograph in 1816 – years before the world had come to believe it had been invented. This powerful realization inspired the brand to build the world-premiere Memoris – wherein the entire chronograph function of the watch resides on the dial side. This means that every function of the monopusher column-wheel chronograph can be viewed as soon as the pusher is pressed.

This unique creation required more than 300 new components to be made for the movement, including 147 parts for chronograph. The challenges in bringing the watch to fruition were numerous, including developing a special Energie Plus winding system. The 18-karat rose gold case of the Memoris is also newly developed and consists of more than 50 parts.

U-BOAT CHIMERA 46 SS SKELETON Handcrafted in Italy, U-Boat timepieces are a blend of heritage, fine engineering and innovative thinking. The newest Chimera 46 Skeleton watch is a perfect example of the creativity of Italo Fontana, creator of U-Boat.

ULYSSE NARDIN ANCHOR TOURBILLON Another technological breakthrough that was eight years in the R&D stages, the new Ulysse Nardin Anchor Tourbillon houses a proprietary movement, the UN 178 caliber. This caliber brings together the brand’s all-new Ulysse Constant Anchor Escapement and tourbillon in a patented mechanical mechanism with seven days of power reserve and extended wear - thanks to the high-tech silicium and DIAMonSil components. The Ulysse Anchor escapement is made in silicium with flat springs that assist in delivering constant force – meaning that the power to run the watch is consistently released from wind up to wind down (instead of running stronger at full wind and weaker at near empty). The 60second tourbillon cage weighs a mere 0.4 grams. Just 18 pieces each will be made in 18-karat rose and white gold with a Grand Feu enamel dial. Retail: $85,000 in rose gold; $89,000 in white gold.
