Born in the Swiss Jura on the willingness of artisans to honor the creative know-how, the harmonious oscillator offers far better accuracy than conventional tourbillons or carrousels with the revolutionary architecture of its caliber.

Visible on the dial side, the rotating plate of the complication reveals an ingenious two toothed balances mechanically connected to each other and driven by a single escapement!

This symmetrical architecture regulates the amplitude while suppressing the effects of gravity to provide an optimal setting in any position.

The finishes are obviously outstanding. Each of the components of this exceptional timepiece benefited from the expertise of the best watchmakers attached to their tradition of bienfaiture.

Available at Chronopassion Paris, the Rudis Sylva. RS10 is offered in a 44mm round case in white gold or rose gold!

The scenes of these modern time erotic watches are directly inspired by hentai (erotic animes and mangas). But unlike traditional “conversation pieces”, the scenes are painted here, in black and white with subtle touches of red on the surface of the sub-dial.

Playful, the protagonists cover their licentiousness behind the characteristic Perrelet 12-blade wheel, a simple flick of the wrist will animate the turbine and undress the entire sub-dial by a striking visual effect!

The subversive Perrelet Turbine Erotic is available in four variations of dials, and two different cases (titanium or black DLC-coated steel) and will be produced in only 88 copies per version!

With up to 50 world-class brands on display, including Audemars Piguet, De Bethune, Hublot, MB&F, Panerai, Richard Mille, Belles Montres 2011 is the rendez-vous for parisian watch lovers and collectors.

The latest creation of the “Inventeurs horlogers” offers a double-sided reading of the GMT function.

Dial side, a rotating three-dimensional globe flying stands, operating a 24 hours rotation and offering a truly original view of time all over the world by the position of the continents.

On the back of the watch, a beautifully crafted worldtime disc bearing the names of 24 cities each representing one of the different global time zones. Aligning the relevant city with the local hour on the outer chapter ring – or inner ring for cities with summer time – sets the dial-side globe in the correct position.

Of course, Greubel Forsey could not deny its signature : the tourbillon.
The new Calibre GF05 of the GMT features the 25° inclined Tourbillon 24 Secondes cage, one of Greubel Forsey’s major patented complications.

This monumental creation is naturally full of technical and aesthetic subtleties … but we will have the pleasure to present them in details on our blog as soon as the Greubel Forsey GMT will be in our hands at Chronopassion Paris!

7.6 cm length for 3.9 cm wide and 2.9 cm thick, this ultra-lightweight sculpture made of Military Spec. G5 aerospace grade titanium is easy to transport around your neck … but it will inevitably be heard and admired when activated!

Built like a real turbine, this pendant will come to life with a very distinctive sound when the air accelerates through the specifically designed front-intake and spool-up the three turbines.
Watch the video demonstration!

The Rogue Design VX-Turbine is a true weapon of mass subversiveness and only 20 copies have been produced; but only a single copy of this artifact was recovered by Chronopassion!

The new UR-110 ZrN aka “Champagne Supernova” is immediately identifiable as a Rare Species and inherits the unique hours digits of the White Shark.
The unique number of the 12 hour digits in bright red is the serial number of this ultra-limited edition of 12 pieces, this specificity also gives each watch its unique nature!

Rightly dubbed “Champagne Supernova”, the satellite complication of the Torpedo is moving in a blackened Grade 5 titanium case which contrasts with the sandblasted steel bezel treated with Zirconium Nitride (ZrN)!

More than making the timepiece resistant to scratches and corrosion, this treatment with its frosted champagne colour makes each of the UR-110 ZrN even more exclusive than they already are : the process used to apply Zirconium Nitride can result in variations in the hue between individual models making each watch truly unique!

Extremely rare, the 12 copies of the Urwerk UR-110 Torpedo ZrN Champagne Supernova will only be available at a few specific points of our planet … and for continental Europe, you can exclusively find this Rare Species at Chronopassion Paris!

The first timekeeper of the new Legacy Machine line is radically different from the usual UFOs watch made by Max Büsser. By its apparent subtle classicism associated with the daring aesthetics and mechanics of the Horological Machines as we know, the Legacy Machine 1 has stunned watchlovers!

Watch the story of a this future success story …

… This fantastic creation that is the MB&F Legacy Machine 1 (LM1) is to discover in details on our blog and in Chronopassion very soon!

The De Bethune DB10 Reedition logically adopts the so characteristic 42mm case of the original DB10 and is adorned with exciting new features as well as on the dial as the case back.

Front side – The DB10 Reedition differs from its predecessor by adding a subdial indicating days of the month at the center of the silvered hand-guilloché dial. While echoing the original watch, that new dial gives a unique identity to the reedition!

Back side – The new manufactured automatic DB2124 caliber can be admired through the sapphire glass and replaces the reworked Anton Schild caliber of the original DB10.

Patented innovations (the titanium/platinum balance wheel and the triple pare-chute) were left out of the DB2124 caliber to offer a very competitive price to the enthusiasts. However, close attention to details was brought to the finish of the movement, evidenced by the control system inspired of the same system usually used on the old and rare pocket watches!

More than just a re-issue, the De Bethune DB10 Reedition will be offered in 50 pieces (20 in white gold, 20 in rose gold and A0 in platinum)!

From the very first sketches, Jackie Chan and Mélanie Treton-Monceyron (Richard Mille’s creative director) naturally worked around the charity’s logo as the focus of this creation as they both wanted it to be symbolic.

The logo including red, green and blue colours is placed at the heart of the movement and represents Jackie Chan holding the hands of two children.

Graphic and full of poetry, the logo symbolises childhood, love and sharing. All values both close to and dear to Jackie Chan.

Situated on the dial, the Dragon’s Heart lettering is both in English and Chinese and uses the same colours as the logo.

On the rear of the watch is mentioned “Foundation Jackie Chan” and at the center is stamped a dragon, Jackie Chan’s emblem.

The Richard Mille RM 055 Jackie Chan Tourbillon – unique piece in white gold was sold for €630.000 on September 14 in Beijin at the charity auction organized by Jackie Chan. The money raised from the auction will enable Jackie Chan to pursue his actions in favour of aiding less favourable children in remote areas through the construction of new schools!

Unveiled in 2010, the HL2 prototype was already bluffy with its revolutionary caliber and its ergonomic massive case.

Now even more successful, the case made of gold and sapphire glass imagined by the designers Claudio D’Amore and Bibi Seck offers a 360° view on the caliber and its unique three-dimensional display!

Revolutionary, the caliber displays half-trailing jumping hours, a power-reserve indicator, and of course, retrograde minutes – a signature of Hautlence.

Constructed around the retrograde minutes function, the jumping hours mechanism consists of a 12-link chain activated by a connecting-rod/crank as in the HL collection.

Structured in three dimensions, the complex kinematics of the HL2.2 movement finally appear obvious when looking at the mechanical ballet …

… Offered in a limited edition of only 28 pieces in rose gold, the Hautlence HL2.2 is certainly a reference that any lover of contemporary watchmaking must consider for his collection!
