Watches that allures and impress
A limited edition timepiece in rose and white gold impresses and allures
at once with its fitting tribute to the King of Madecon.
This timepiece immortalises the King of Macedon, Alexander.
The Watch and Jewellery Show Baselworld 2011, Switzerland witnessed the launch of a magnificent timepiece which immortalises the King of Macedon, Alexander. The 'Alexander the Great Westminster Carillon Tourbillon Jaquemarts Minute Repeater' is set in 18K white or rose gold and touts a complicated mechanism. It features five handcrafted figures on the dial depicting Alexander the Great clad in armour and engaged in battle. While the engraving stands armed on horseback with a spear on one movement, it stands mutinous with bow and arrow on other. These battle engravings are synchronised with the sound of gongs, moving to the minutes, quarters and hours. Hand finished and adorned with 36 jewels, the movement looks striking against the deep charcoalcoloured background of its manmade polycrystalline diamond dial. A thing of beauty, it also has a 70-hour power reserve.

It features an automatic movement and a power reserve of 42 hours. It's a mix of ethereal beauty and accurate timekeeping.

Tag Heuer's carrera mikrograph
Inspired by TAG Heuer's intimate links with motor racing, the mechanical chronograph let's you see the cutting edge of time with a striking central hand that can measure 1/100th of a second. It is a classic blend of the legendary Carrera sports car and the Mikrograph, the first ever stopwatch to get this accurate. The 0-100 markings on the dial make it easy to read and the blue central hand completes a dull rotation every second. The chronograph is limited to 150 models.
