Gold has captivated mankind since the beginning of time and with its rich lustre, rarity and enduring ability to denote success, it remains the king of precious metals. These timepieces showcase the ability of gold to transform an already extraordinary creation into an icon of immediately tangible power.
The Ocean Z Chronograph from Harry Winston boasts a world premier triple retrograde chronograph based upon the ?ne automatic winding Frederic Piguet 1185 movement. Produced in extremely small quantities in rose and white gold exclusively, the Ocean Z will delight the demanding watch collector.
Based on an original IWC wristwatch ?rst developed in the 1930’s, the Portuguese Chrono-Automatic utilizes an elegant bi-compax chronograph display to discreetly mark elapsed time. Golden leaf hands and blued steel baton hands contrast superbly with the silvered dial, while the satin-? nished 40.9mm rose gold case makes a statement of classic luxury.
With its bold, symmetrical indications and touches of classicism, the Piaget “Emperador Coussin” demonstrates both elegance and pragmatism. Cased in 18K rose gold and animated by Piaget’s manufacture 850P auto-wind movement which has a 72-hour power reserve, this watch features a second time zone display and an easily readable date.
With the push of a button the hour hand of the Ulysse Nardin Dual-Time can be adjusted forward or backward to account for changes in local time. Home time remains readily accesible via a window on the dial, placed at 9 o’clock. The large date mechanism is also designed for backward and forward adjustment, making this 18K rose gold watch with automatic movement a pleasure for the discriminating traveller.
