Armin Strom’s Blue Chip Chronograph Skeleton…

The Blue Chip Chronograph Skeleton by Armin Strom embodies the maker’s more than 40 years of experience as a master skeletonizer and designer. Each hand-sawn and engraved piece is one of a kind. The chronograph mechanism tracks elapsed time up to 12 hours via a central hand and totalizers at 12 and 6. At the front and back of the watch, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal reveals the workings of the automatic mechanical movement, which is fully hand-skeletonized and hand-engraved. The polished steel case, 46.5mm in diameter, exhibits guilloche engraving on its casesides. It is fitted with an alligator strap with stainless steel folding clasp.

Estimated price is US$43,000.

Tissot's T-Gold Sculpture Line Skeleton...

Swiss watch manufacturer Tissot, a part of the mighty SWATCH Group was founded in 1853. From the early days to the present, in its home in Le Locle in the Swiss Jura mountains. Tissot has translated craftsmanship and precision into timepieces which are sold in 150 countries around the world and can be considered an entry level brand to the luxury league of watches. They have just launched the new Tissot T-Gold Sculpture Line Skeleton gold watch. The design of this solid gold timepiece provides several windows through which to view the workings of the mechanical movement.

The gold Tissot Sculpture Line Skeleton comes with a choice of 42mm case in either rose or yellow gold, both in solid 18-carat quality. With a black or silver dial distinguished by contemporary shapes and finishes, the watch has nostalgic touches, such as classic Roman numerals, hour-markers and a nicely stitched leather strap, ending at an elegant butterfly clasp, equipped with push-buttons. Both models are finished off by a brown leather strap with a crocodile-print. The watch is water resistant to 30 metres.

Visible through the completely see-through case back, the Swiss-made Calibre 6497 skeleton mechanical movement is visible through two substantial cut outs on the dial, at the 12 o’clock and the 6 o’clock positions. An intricate maze of metal elements joins forces to assure high precision, integrating a practical power reserve of 49 hours. No prices available as yet.

Cartier's Pasha de Cartier Skeleton Flying Tourbillon...

Fine watchmaking today can be defined as the creation of timepieces which offer aesthetic beauty, technological innovation and the use of fine arts in the making of the timepiece. The art of skeletonization is most frequently found in high watcmaking timepieces, where the movement of the watch can be appreciated in all its refinement from the front and back of the timepiece. It is also one of the most challenging, as design, architecture and finishing are essential to the creation of a skeletonized watch.

Cartier does not practice skeletonization as defined in the past, but has instead taken a modern interpretation of skeletonization in its skeleton timepieces. In the last two years, it presented the Santos 100 Skeleton Tourbillon as well as the Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton Flying Tourbillon, both of which were based on the same movement, but different in execution.

For Cartier, skeletonization begins with the architecture of the watch. As a jeweler-watchmaker, the form of the timepiece is as important as the caliber animating it. It has always designed movements specifically to cater to the cases that it will equip, and the skeleton movements of Cartier attest to this style.

The skeleton movements are efficient as well as exquisite to behold, as the display is actually made out of the bridges of the movement and what you ee is the movement as a whole, fitted to the case and finished to high watchmaking standards. By carefully positioning various elements of the movement, it offers a complete view of the caliber from the dial side.

This year, the Pasha de Cartier is the recipient of Cartier's skeletonization, and the watch, animated by the 9457 MC caliber, definitely takes on a masculine touch. The Pasha de Cartier timepieces have generally been more classic and androgynous, even slightly feminine in style, but the Skeleton Flying Tourbillon seems driven to the gentleman, perhaps due to the strong hour indices which convey a powerful foundation for the timepiece. The flying tourbillon is fully exposed with Cartier's signature 'C' logo on the tourbillon, and diamond-shaped blue hands and the sapphire cabochon on the crown are the only hinds of color on the bridge-side.

The $400,000 Seiko...

Seiko Credor Minute Repeater

Everyone's first thought: "Who in their right mind would spend THAT much money on a Seiko!" Clearly, that was my first thought as well, but when you learn more about this watch and the geniuses who've brought it to us, you'll probably understand the hefty pricetag.

Credor is Seiko's ultra high-end line, the line that was introduced in 2006 with their first grand sonnerie. Credor's goal is to showcase what the micro-artists at Seiko's most elite studio can do, and this year their Spring Drive Minute Repeater does just that.

Spearheaded by Kenji Shiohara, the new Minute Repeater is designed and executed in a traditional Swiss style. The hammers of the repeater are made from Myochin steel, the same steel used in Japanese wind chimes, producing an incredibly crisp sound. In fact, the Myochin family has gone 52 generations producing steel, which equate to about 850 years of continual master blacksmith work.

This watch has two cases and the gongs are placed in between. Unlike most minute repeaters, this Seiko actually uses a decimal system. The hammers strike the hour, the ten-minute and the one-minute. The diameter of the rose gold case is 43 mm and the caliber holds 112 jewels within a 72 hour power reserve.

Only three of the Credor Spring Drive Minute Repeaters will be made each year and will cost roughly USD$400,000. Watch the video below to see and hear this magnificent timepiece in action. The sound is nothing short of incredible.
