The 24 Hours of LeMans race witnessed the unveiling of he newest AMVOX from JLC. It is a sleek and sporty watch that sits in a titanium case that measures 44mm. It is water resistant to 50 meters and the crystal found here is sapphire. You also have the option of black PVD titanium. The automatic JLC caliber 751E is the movement with 41 jewels and beating at 28,800 bph. It is made of 280 pieces and comes with a power reserve of 65 hours. It’s finish and decoration is done by hand. It’s a great watch for those who are fans of a slightly rough and tough look.
Project X Designs (PXD) which has offices in Hanover Square, London W1, out of a desire to “provide a service to clients who appreciate the history and allure of original manufacturers’ brand name – guaranteeing maximum performance with minimal maintenance – but who seek the individuality that contemporary high volume production does not offer.” It’s an aesthetic that appeals to celebs like Kanye West - The Classicist reported on his blacked-out Rolex earlier this year - and Craig, a diehard Rolex enthusiast as we noted last year, who owns PXD’s custom Submariner.
PXD offers two distinct services via its website: the first, a bespoke service which, like a bespoke suit, tailors a new luxury wristwatch with unique features to the clients’ own personal specification. For example, a leading Formula One Racing Team have commissioned a special Daytona - carrying the company logo on the reverse together with the details of the race victory - for each of its Grand Prix winning drivers. Ex Bond actor Roger Moore also has a bespoke watch in development from PXD. The second element of PXD is the introduction of collectible limited edition (runs of 24) customized Rolex watches inspired by the retro styling of the classic Rolex models from the past.
The Jaquet Droz SUW Chronograph is the second watch from the Jaquet Droz SUW (Sports Utility Watch) line. The SUW Chronograph integrates the automatic Jaquet Droz caliber 6885-S column wheel chronograph movement into the rugged SUW design. The crown and chronograph push buttons are made of cast natural rubber as is the strap whilst the case is made of stainless steel.
From Swiss watchmaker Hublot revealed the F1 King. The case itself is made of satin-finish zirconium and affixed with PVD-coated titanium components, and features a 42-hour power reserve. The Hublot F1 King Power will only be made in limited quantities, so interested parties had better act fast.
