Memoire 1 by MAURICE LACROIX
Here is the latest shot of the new Maurice Lacroix Memoire 1. This is the first mechanical watch in the world to feature a memory function. The memory function by itself makes this a very appealing and unique watch, however the design looks a bit clunky. Regardless of looks, or even the price, this limited edition watch will sell.

Chanel: With the Speed of Time
If J12 line appeared owing to Jaques Elle’s interest in sailers, then J122 Superleggera originates from his interest in the romance of auto racing. Elle says that he was so impressed by wonderful sports cars Superleggera (”Superlight”) that when he decided to replenish the collection of men watches he didnât have any doubts of what style they should be. The exterior of the model is very similar to J12: the same design, the same black-and-white colors, the same sporty character, but there is one essential difference that is reflected in the name of the model.

Double Rotor Titanium Calibre P-181 by PERRELET
I am really impressed with the Perrelet Double Rotor Titanium P-181 watch and the entire Perrelet titanium watch collection. This one has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with 6 layers of non-reflective treatment on both sides. The 43.5 mm wide and 13.6 mm tall case is made of solid titanium. Titanium is almost twice as strong as steel all while being about half the weight. Titanium is also anti-allegric and very resistant to corrision. Perrelet used a natural rubber strap which is actually organic.
