Here are the most interesting, complicated and beautiful watches of 2015

Horology is the art or science of measuring time but with some of today’s marvels that infuse ingenuity and fine craftsmanship, it’s easily a mix of both. Manufacturers have made the craft of building a fine timepiece into an art form, with the outcome looking as prestigious as something that ought to be displayed and not worn.

From fashion houses like Cartier, specialists in limited editions like Devon and those that have been in the business for generations like Breguet, watch making is just as meticulous a craft as it ever was. These companies, much like any other, have a code that translates to giving the customer a sense of prestige and exclusivity while never refraining from the “awe” factor.

Since Baseworld 2015 and all the major Horological events in between we’ve compiled a list of timepieces that stand out and proclaim their right to be held in the highest regard from their peers. They embody the traditional, the future and the cultures that are both modern, and yet old-school in essence and cater to the esoteric individuals who will truly appreciate their complexities. They not only transcend the mere simplicity of telling time but with their complexities and design, make them works of art as well. Here’s our look at the 10 best watches of 2015; the ones that will make your jaws drop and have you reaching for your wallet or check book almost instantly –

Devon Stars Wars watch
If you happen to be a Star Wars fan (and who isn’t) then the Darth Vader inspired Star Wars watch by Devon should most certainly be on your list of collectables. The limited edition timepiece (500 to be produced) encased in DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) steel embodies all that the fans would want from a watch from the Dark Side of the Force; from modules that are intricately crafted to look like Vader’s helmet and chest-plate computer, to the Tie-Fighter styled accents on the side, the Star Wars watch by Devon is a model for all galaxies.

Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton
An absolute masterpiece of craftsmanship, the Flying Tourbillon styled watch from premier jeweler and now master of horology, the Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton is a sincere effort to take wrist timepieces to a new level. Its “Skeleton” design leaves it transparent through and through and is coupled with cool blue steel hands that run over the 18k white gold dial that’s been crafted using a stencil of Roman numerals. A brilliant Sapphire crystal cabochon makes up the crown and a white gold buckle culminates at the end of the black alligator strap of the limited edition (100 pieces) masterpiece of machinery.

Vacheron Constantin
The 18-carat white gold encased Vacheron Constantin, designed for a private collector for the company’s 260th anniversary (founded in 1755), is a one of a kind old school pocket watch and judging by its current status as the ‘World’s most complicated watch’, the eight years it took to make, seem well worth it. It features a total of 57 complications with some that the community says are entirely new to watch making. The company says the watch is “technically exciting and visually dramatic” and for all intents and purposes it truly is.

Parmigiani Tonda 1950 Squelette
The skeletonized Tonda 1950 is essentially a watch that’s been stripped down to its bare minimum to reduce it’s weight and thickness. It’s pure aesthetic gold to have a watch with all its working son display and somehow gives one the sense of futuristic appeal with all of the dials, gears etc. in motion while still maintaining the originality that goes behind a fine timepiece. The mainplate has been carefully machined by hand and has a very suave looking brushed metal finish. As watches go, this is one, if not the, slimmest option out there at just 2.6mm in depth.

Chopard L.U.C Regulator
While the L.U.C Regulator from Chopard may not seem like the most exciting watch on this list, it is nonetheless a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship that is by far, nothing short of elegant, stylish, and exclusive while retaining the simplicity of telling time without complication. It’s gold plated minutes hand ticks away across the dial that features individual indicators for seconds, hours, GMT and a power reserve (216 hours) indicator at the 12 o’clock position. It’s padded with a hand-stitched alligator leather strap and an 18-carat red-gold buckle that is as classy as they come.

Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Tourbillon with Gold Bridges
The 10 piece only, limited edition timepiece from Girard-Perregaux is another skeletonised watch with its entire intricate workings revealed to the world sitting inside an 18K Rose Gold case. It’s encased with an AR-coated sapphire crystal with a sapphire display back and can withstand water up to 30 meters. The unique arrow-shaped bridges also in Rose Gold, accentuate the overall scheme of the design and the working aesthetics of the watch with the alligator leather strap with an 18kt rose gold triple-folding buckle is the icing on the cake.

Baselworld 2017: ZEPPELIN introduces the new LZ120 Rome series

The LZ120 Rome series, newly designed by Zeppelin, is a homage to the first airship built in the wind tunnel and aerodynamically built by the Zeppelin shipyard in Friedrichshafen in record time. The airship, which was later called "Esperia", was stationed in Ciampino, south of Rome, from 1921 to 1928. From there, it was used for the purposes of representational journeys throughout the Mediterranean.

The lightness and the style of Italian lifestyle are what the new watch line LZ120 Rome expresses. With its elegantly curved housing, the delicate band strings as well as the slightly cambered dials, which are held in warm colors, the LZ120 Rome family of watches is emphasizing this lifestyle. In addition to slender and elegantly drawn Roman numerals, delicate line indices are also a creative theme before fine minutiae. Depending on the design, high-quality quartz movements are responsible for the time display, and for friends of mechanics, movements with automatic winding. The housings are held in the current sizes 41mm for the men and 36mm for the ladies. Zeppelin has created a timeless classic watch line, which is an expression of understatement and good taste.

Tradition and modernity in the dignified style of the 1920s

The Zeppelin LZ120 Rome series is a tribute to the first airship formed in the wind tunnel, aerodynamic and in record time. The gondola for the up to 30 passengers was now connected directly to the trunk and no longer suspended, and resembled a luxurious railroad car.

The shape of the LZ 120 was - and that was sensational for the time - on a 1:50 model in the wind tunnel. The airship built by the Zeppelin shipyard in Friedrichshafen in record time and later called "Esperia" was stationed in Ciampino, south of Rome, from 1921 to 1928, and was used for mediation in the Mediterranean. The luxurious equipment of the airship as well as the rides over the impressive landscapes and cities of Italy gave the essential impulses for the design of the new L120 line of watches from ZEPPELIN.

Timeless, filigree beauty

The narrow streets of Rome, with their houses built in natural and terracotta tones, as well as the grand squares and palaces of this unique city, give lasting impressions. The designer senses the diversity and ease of the Mediterranean style of life and translates it into the formal language of the elegantly curved case with its almost already filigree appearance.

The dial design as the face of this classic watch follows this requirement and presents itself with slender and elegant Roman numerals. In addition, delicate line indices are also a creative theme before fine minuteries. The flat housing shape with the arched K1 safety glass (hardened mineral glass) opens up the possibility of giving the dial a fine camber, which additionally increases the optical voltage. This creates a timeless, classic model series, which is also an expression of understatement and good taste.

The case is made of high-quality polished 316L stainless steel. Depending on the model, the housings are optionally also available with a high-quality coating in gold or rose gold. In the versions with automatic calibers, housing bottoms with inserted mineral glass are used, which allow the view of the movement to be released. The housings are offered in the popular sizes 41 mm and 36 mm. So for the lady as well as the men always the appropriate size and the appropriate model can be found.

The dials are available in a total of 5 highly current colors. An elaborate multi-layer finish, for example, gives the black version an extraordinary depth, thus giving the impression of a high-gloss piano lacquer. The blue as well as anthracite and timeless silver luster of the dials are sun-polished and are galvanically refined in an elaborate process in order to achieve a particularly fine and velvety grain.

In the case of the quartz variant with a small second, the movement is turned 30 degrees to the right, so that the crown can be found at 4 o'clock and the small second at 7 o'clock position. The date window opens at the 2 o'clock position. The appearance thus stands out in a very exquisite way from the ordinary.

Breitling startet zweite Uhr mit proprietärem Breitlight-Gehäuse

Erstmals im vergangenen Jahr auf der Baselworld 2016 mit dem Avenger Hurricane eingeführt, hat Breitling in dieser Woche seine zweite Uhrenkollektion angekündigt, um das hochkarätige, hochkarätige Polymer-Case-Material "Breitlight" des Unternehmens zu nutzen.

Breitlight® ist ein eingetragenes Warenzeichen von Breitling, das die Herstellung beansprucht 3,3 mal leichter als Titan und 5,8 mal leichter als Stahl, aber deutlich härter. Das Unternehmen sagt auch, dass es "außergewöhnliche Widerstand gegen Kratzer, Traktion und Korrosion hat; Anti-magnetische, antiallergene Eigenschaften; Als auch eine wärmere "Berührung" als Metall und eine leicht gesprenkelte Wirkung, die ihre Originalität akzentuiert. "

Während der Fall zu einem geschmiedeten Kohlefaser ähnlich sieht, die von Audemars Piguet erstmals eingeführt wurde, jedoch wahrscheinlich aufgrund seines spröden Natur des Unternehmens schließlich zu Keramik bewegte , die weit weniger anfällig für Beschädigungen sind, wie Sie mit sehen können ihre Taucher ab 2013 und Die neueste Royal Eiche Perpetual Kalender in Keramik von SIHH 2017 . Panerai , DeGrisogono und Dietrich haben alle ihre Versionen von gefälschten Carbon Fällen auch. Und zuletzt hat Victorinox eine kohlenstoffhaltige Version ihrer robusten INOX-Uhr angekündigt .

Breitling Aveneger Hurricane mit Breitlight Fall

Letztlich hat Breitling ein neueres, leichteres Polymer (Kunststoff-Verbundwerkstoff) geschaffen, das den Look von geschmiedetem Kohlenstoff hat, aber mit einer viel haltbareren Struktur.

Es ist schwer vorstellbar Kunden zahlen nördlich von $ 8.000 für die oben genannten Avenger Hurricane mit einem Kunststoff-Gehäuse, aber vielleicht die neue Superquartz ausgerüstet 45 mm Colt Skyracer in Breitlight wird billig genug, um die High-End-Quarz-Käufer zu appellieren. Wie ich weiß, dass eine typische mechanische Uhr Enthusiasten Kauf in den fünftausend Dollar plus Preisklasse wird wahrscheinlich eine Uhr aus Edelstahl, Titan oder sogar Keramik wollen.
