For over two decades, Chopard has demonstrated an unfailing attachment to the world of classic cars in general, and to racing cars in particular. This passion is echoed in a range of classic yet sporty watch collections intended for elegant and sophisticated men with an extremely active lifestyle.

Over the years, the Mille Miglia, Jacky Ickx and Grand Prix de Monaco Historique watches have become the brand’s best-sellers. These timepieces are grouped within the Classic Racing collection representing the culmination of all the technical and aesthetic innovations inspired by the field of automobiles. A star model in this new collection, the Classic Racing Superfast Chrono is an ultra-powerful chronograph with an imposing 45 mm-diameter case.

A traditional wristwatch has a relatively straightforward role: to tell the time. All that is needed is a hand for the hours, another for the minutes and perhaps a power reserve indicator to keep track of running time. Horological Machine No4 Thunderbolt has a hand for the hours, another for the minutes and a power reserve indicator. HM4 Thunderbolt tells the time.

Ten years have passed since Instrumento N°Uno made its entrance onto the watchmaking stage. During this time we have seen many variations, from the most understated for him to the most dazzling for her, of a timepiece considered from its beginnings as a luxury watch. White diamonds, pink sapphires, paraiba tourmalines, tsavorites… to celebrate 10 years of the collection, Fawaz Gruosi, founder and chairman of de GRISOGONO, revisits this icon with a daring, resolutely Pop Art approach.

The new Chopard L.U.C XP Tonneau model combines technical expertise, rarity and elegance – a set of qualities achieved by Chopard Manufacture, where this exceptional model was born. L.U.C Calibre 3.97, a shaped movement that is chronometer-certified by the COSC.

Chopard’s L.U.C collection welcomes a refined model that combines technical qualities and aesthetic virtues. Born at the heart of Watch Valley within Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier, the L.U.C XP Tonneau model, an ultra-thin interpretation of the tonneau or barrel-shaped model, now appears with a particularly distinguished new look. The pared-down dial now features Arabic numerals. The new, slender case gives this watch a modern appearance, while maintaining a touch of tradition that has created the destiny of Haute Horlogerie.

Eterna has decided to reaffirm its long-standing tradition of technical originality at Baselworld this year with the Madison Eight-Days. Housing the hand-wound Eterna 3510 movement fitted with the new Eterna Spherodrive device – a new kind of barrel rotating on ball-bearings –, this masculine watch illustrates the exceptional qualities of its manufactory-made movement: for example, the eight-day power reserve.

On the occasion of the next International Basel Fair, Eberhard & Co. will present as special preview the new “Tazio Nuvolari Edition Limitée Grand Prix TN” in 18 ct. red gold. Ever mindful of all that has left its mark on history, Eberhard is once again inspired by Tazio Nuvolari, myth of motor sport, to whom it dedicates an exclusive chronograph that is distinguished by the untarnishable value and incomparable nobility associated with the intrinsic elegance of gold.

Embracing forward-thinking technology and visionary design, the TX Linear Chronograph leads time in a whole new direction.

Liberated from the tradition of circularity, the Linear Chronograph is free to express a new linear aesthetic of time. Bi-directional motors propel the proprietary linear hand located at nine o’clock, indication the minute of the chronograph function. Time can finally be measured in a straight line.

Graham is an unrepentantly English name for an exquisitely English watch. If you’re interested in the minutiae of watch making, Graham was the surname of George Graham, born in 1673, master watchmaker who lived in Fleet Street in London.

London was definitely the place to be if you were interested in watchmaking in the 17th and 18th centuries. A highly developed city, it had a business culture, the world’s first scientific society and a navy all of which had pressing time keeping requirements.

Thanks to the new, revolutionary ETA C01.211 chronograph movement recently introduced by Tissot, the Veloci-T Gent brings together elegance and sportiness. Two models share the same black and silver tones, as well as a design inspired by speedometers. The circles surrounding the dial remind us that the watch is inspired by racing tracks. A finely graduated tachometer underlines the importance of precision in the worlds of both high level automobile sport and horology. Perfectly in tune with the tastes and needs of the active man, the Veloci-T offers different options so that every man can express his own personal view of modernity.

A blend of comfort and elegance, the new automatic chronograph from Rodania features advanced functions in a very contemporary design. To celebrate 80 years of excellence, the Cazius model is the perfect ambassador for a collection embodying the values of quality and style.
