1962. The space race was well under way. Already a supplier to civilian and military aviation, Breitling naturally took a keen interest in this new human adventure. Based on the Navitimer chronograph, the brand’s technicians developed the Cosmonaute, a space-going version of this instrument indicating the daily 24 hours in a single sweep of the dial. Given the extremely relative nature of day and night in space, this configuration prevents possible confusion between midday and midnight. On May 24th 1962, the astronaut Scott Carpenter tested this instrument under real-life conditions during his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule.
For its 125th anniversary, Breitling has chosen to issue a limited series of the model that became the first wrist chronograph to experience space travel. Only 1,000 of these Cosmonaute watches will be produced, all equipped for the occasion with an original version of the intriguing 24-hour dial. Further accentuating its distinctive character and in tribute to a modern design icon from the 1960s, the Cosmonaute Limited Edition is fitted exclusively with the rigid perforated Air Racer bracelet.

In 1957, having establishing its mastery of the skies, Breitling set off to conquer the seas by launching the Superocean, a professional diver’s watch that also gained a following among the first scuba diving enthusiasts. Some 50 years later, under the “Héritage” banner, this same design still holds a special place among Breitling’s “instruments for professionals”. In celebrating its 125th anniversary, Breitling has chosen to issue a limited series of this great classic. Like the original model, this Superocean Héritage Chronographe carries the historical Breitling signature topped by the stylized letter B in 18-carat gold, and also features the same luminescent triangular hour hand that already enabled unequivocal read-off even in the darkness prevailing at great depths. Another characteristic detail lies in the dial with its two counters arranged horizontally at 9 and 3 o’clock, available in Volcano black, Stratus silver and Gun blue versions and produced in limited series of 1,000 in each of these shades.
The equally exclusive choice of wristbands comprises the Ocean Classic in woven steel reflecting the original bracelet and lending the watch its unique appearance; and the Ocean Racer rubber strap with its resolutely sporting style. The distinctive design of the Superocean HĂ©ritage Chronographe is matched by its technical performances. Its imposing steel case measuring 46 mm in diameter and water-resistant to 200 meters (660 feet) houses Breitling Caliber 23, a sturdy high-precision movement officially chronometer-certified by the COSC, as indeed are all Breitling movements.

Breitling has designed a special series of its Airwolf and Skyracer chronographs, two instruments identifiable by their rubber-molded pushpieces and bezel.
Evocatively code-named ‘Raven’, the resulting timepieces feature a resolutely high-tech black and steel look. Both models, one electronic and the other mechanical, boast peerless functionality. The Airwolf makes the most of the performance of its exclusive SuperQuartz movement driving this ultra-accurate instrument providing the full range of functions required by professional pilots. 1/100th of a second chronograph, alarm, countdown, 2nd timezone, UTC. An NVG-compatible display backlighting system enables nighttime read-off, while a turbine-shaped construction on the caseback serves as a resonance chamber for the alarm and other aubible indications.
Meanwhile, the Skyracer is designed to be the most efficient selfwinding chronograph in its category. Bearing this in mind, Breitling has equipped it with Caliber 27, an exclusive mechanism enabling dual visualization of the measured times. The 60-minute counter with central hand guarantees peerless readability of any measurement under one hour. For longer durations, a single two-hand counter shows both the hours and minutes. Elapsed time is read off just as one would read off the time, instantly and without any possible confusion. The rack-and-pinion mounted slide rule underscores the aviation-oriented vocation of both the Airwolf Raven and Skyracer Raven models.
Best of all, they’re both available at Clarkson Jewelers.

To recognize the true value of a watch takes time and a trained eye. It isn’t only the high quality materials, the ingenious mechanical movements and timeless designs that make Maurice Lacroix watches treasures that will be valued by future generations. First and foremost, it is the passion and precision of their watchmakers.
For this reason, every Maurice Lacroix is produced exactly the way that Swiss watchmakers have done it from the beginning – with dedication and expertise. And while innovation, high technology and state-of-the-art materials are just as important as the skilled craftsmanship of the watch making tradition, time has not stood still at Maurice Lacroix. The introduction of modern production and testing methods is emphasized just as strongly as the adherence to traditions that have been passed down through the years.

Patek Philippe manufactures most models only in small quantities, from as little as five to a few hundred for more well known models. When you own a Patek Philippe, you possess something of rare value. Since 1839, they have kept a record in their archives of every single timepiece bearing the Patek Philippe name. Besides being useful for practical purposes like repairs and cleaning, it is a demonstration of Patek Philippe’s continuing interest in each timepiece and a reminder of how individual each watch is.
“Rarity is the essence of a piece of art.”
