Avenger Hurricane Military

With its black avant-garde case in Breitlight®, its dial with aeronautical-type numerals and its selfwinding Manufacture Breitling caliber powering an exclusive 24-hour display, the new Avenger Hurricane Military limited series proudly displays the assets of an instrument for which prowess is the norm.



On this new version of this superlative-charged chronograph, issued in a 1,000-piece limited edition, Breitling has equipped the black dial with luminescent hands and numerals featuring a slightly patinated yellow-beige color evoking the instruments produced by the brand from the 1940s to the 1960s – a nod to Breitling’s longstanding heritage in the aeronautical and military field. But while the Avenger Hurricane Military thereby gives the distinct impression of having already undertaken a number of missions, it above all asserts itself as a watch built to face both present and future challenges.



Breitling has indeed equipped it with an imposing 50 mm case in Breitlight® – an exclusive high-tech material 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel yet significantly harder. It is endowed with a number of qualities (exceptional resistance to scratching, traction and corrosion, thermal stability, along with anti- magnetic and anti-allergenic properties). This ultra-light and sturdy construction (water-resistant to 100 m / 330 ft) is enhanced by lateral protective reinforcements, a rotating rider tab bezel as well as pushers and crown featuring a non-slip grip ensuring optimal handling, even with gloves.



So as to set a unique and reliable cadence for timing impressive feats, the Avenger Hurricane Military is powered by Manufacture Breitling Caliber B12, a selfwinding chronograph movement displaying the __time in an entirely original 24-hour mode, as typically used in the military and among pilots, and chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), a sure token of superior precision. The legibility of the 24 stencil-type aviation-inspired numerals, as well as the chronograph indications, is enhanced by a thick sapphire crystal glareproofed on both sides.

The exclusive strap also combines comfort and sturdiness, with a black rubber lining and sides, as well as an exterior in khaki-colored high-resistance Military textile fiber featuring tone-on-tone stitching.

Monobloc Actuator

Time measurement and motorsport are inherently linked, like a balance wheel and an escapement. As a reliable instrument for measuring time, a chronograph can ac- curately tally and document outstanding achievements and best times, precise to mere fractions of a second. As such, the chronograph has come to symbolize the athletic spirit of competitive sports and has inarguably become the most popular complication among watch aficionados.

Octo Finissimo Automatic

Following in the footsteps of the Tourbillon and the Minute Repeater, this new model once again pushes the boundaries.



Bulgari is once again the spotlight, proudly presenting its third successive world record. The Octo Finissimo Automatic is the slimmest ultra-thin self-winding watch on the market to date. After introducing its Tourbillon in 2014 and the Minute Repeater in 2016, the Maison unveils its new creation featuring a total thickness of just 5.15 mm, while its self-winding movement is just 2.23 mm thick for a 40mm diameter. The iconic Octo is once again pushing the boundaries of watchmaking feasibility.



Finissimo. The very name is a promise and a dream. Extreme thinness is a horological complication in its own right. Merely slimming down or miniaturising existing elements would be far too simple. On the contrary, each element – even the tiniest of them – must be conceived and designed right from the outset so as to contribute to the extreme overall slenderness of this exceptional timepiece. This implies not only the parts of the mechanical self-winding movement, but also the entire set of elements composing the case and dial. So as to guarantee the legibility and the highly contemporary contrast effect, the hands and hour-markers are coated with a black PVD treatment.

Bubble 42 Juliette Jourdain

Sophisticated and offbeat, 26-year-old Juliette Jourdain and Corum are pairing up in a completely Bubble spirit and adding a new Bubblesque creation to the watch brand’s iconic collection.

Between the eccentricity and captivating creativity of the young photographer and the legendary, effervescent Bubble, this is an obvious partnership. Once again, Juliette enthrals us with her unbridled inventive spirit, her boundless imagination and her ability to come up with equally wonderful and attractive characters and skilfully immortalise them on paper. Whether staging herself or calling on models, her portraits are fascinating and leave us in awe of her creative world.

The new Bubble, covered by its traditional, timeless sapphire dome, charms us with its pure colours.



The dial depicts a self portrait of the talented photographer, showcasing her keen artistic flair. The portrait is breathtaking – it exudes purity with her intense eyes and delicately defined features. On the dial, raised crystalline diamond drops run down the young woman’s face. Devoid of numerals and markers and featuring only very discreet hands, this highly refined Bubble is nonetheless captivating.

The pure white vulcanised rubber strap forms a delicate contrast with the metallic grey of the stainless steel.

Launched in 2000, Corum’s Bubble – now a Swiss watchmaking icon – has injected a wave of fun and youthfulness into the La Chaux-de-Fonds watch brand for almost 20 years, while proudly preserving its innovative spirit.

Big Bubble Magical Vodoo Matt Barnes

Fascinating, disconcerting and astounding, Corum presents a dark and exciting Bubble. This new addition to the impressive Bubble collection is the result of a partnership between the Canadian photographer Matt Barnes and the Swiss master watchmaker.

Matt Barnes lives in a pop-inspired world that combines old school with the latest trends. With his head in the clouds but his feet on the ground, the born dreamer took this brilliant photograph of a voodoo figure, which showcases the talented photographer’s keen eye.



Bringing nuances to the dark tones of the dial and its relief, the titanium case and vulcanised rubber strap also feature dark and mysterious colours. The ever more original Bubble reveals a watch without numerals that hides its hands inside the dial, heightening the mystery radiating from the model.

In keeping with its innovative direction, Corum is presenting a Bubble in an all-new Big format so as to better showcase the works held tenderly captive by the famous sapphire dome and to give the whole piece a marvellously bubble-like effect.

Militare Vintage

This new year brings up 20 years existence for Anonimo who starts celebrating this event, the brand is bringing out a reissue of its Vintage model of the Militare line. Same functions, same aesthetics but with just a subtle hint of modernity – and an elegance worthy of Italy, its country of origin, which will delight both connoisseurs and collectors.



With a timelessly elegant style, a cushioned case and its dial illustrated by Anonimo’s famous 12, 04 and 08 o’clock triangle, this vintage model expresses the very DNA of the Militare. Almost identical in look to the original edition with the indication "Vintage" at 9 o’clock, while the red reminders of both the indexes and the 24 hour markers are recalled on the eggshell- coloured dial. Just as on the original, the date window stays housed at 6 o'clock, an unusual display compared to today’s collection.



However, there is a modern wind blowing over this particular model. Unlike the first Militare, which wore its crown at 6 o'clock, the 2017 model places the crown at 12 o'clock, repeating the aesthetic code of pocket watches that runs through the current Militare collection. This improves the comfort for the wearer, as well as the guaranteed water-resistance of the casing. Thanks to Anonimo’s patented design, the movable and discrete hinges protect the crown, nestling between the lugs of the case, from any unexpected mishandling.



The initial indication "Handcrafted in Firenze" has now been replaced by "Swiss Made", respecting the new "Swissness" legislation which came into force at the beginning of this year. Another improvement on the original Vintage model, this new timepiece’s automatic movement, on which “Anonimo” has been engraved on the oscillating weight, is visible through the watch caseback. This is another tribute to the brand’s historic watches as the first Anonimo watches also had see-through casebacks.



Sober and very legible with its polished bezel, this Militare Vintage reveals a new face of Anonimo on the occasion of its twentieth birthday and offers a promise of a future rich in innovation.

Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante

Breitling reaffirms its supreme mastery of chronographs by unveiling its own split-seconds chronograph movement – one of the most sophisticated horological complications. Developed in the spirit of instruments for professionals, this Manufacture Breitling Caliber B03 (protected by two patents) is distinguished by its innovative construction ensuring a maximum of precision, sturdiness and reliability. To present this major technical breakthrough, Breitling has chosen its most emblematic model, the famous Navitimer, interpreted in steel or gold with an exclusive bronze-colored dial.



Few watch brands have their own mechanical chronograph movements. Fewer still also offer a proprietary split-seconds movement genuinely developed and produced in-house. In launching Manufacture Breitling Caliber B03, officially chronometer- certified by the COSC, Breitling is once again confirming its leadership position in the field of mechanical chronographs. It is also consolidating its crucial role in the development of this type of instrument – notably marked by the invention of the first independent pushpiece at 2 o’clock (1915), the second independent pushpiece (1934) and the first selfwinding chronograph (1969). This epic saga also includes the famous 1944 Duograph – one of the great Breitling classics – that is much sought-after among collectors and equipped with an ultra-thin split-seconds chronograph movement.
