Rolex created the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller in 1967 to meet the challenge of prolonged underwater missions. The Sea-Dweller is specifically designed for saturation diving. Thanks to its helium escape valve, it can withstand decompression on ascent and master the return to the surface – the final phase of deep-sea exploration.

Watches in the Oyster Perpetual range are symbols of universal and classic style, while offering essential day-to-day functions – hours, minutes and seconds. Firmly rooted in the pioneering origins of Rolex, these models embody timeless form and function. They represent timepieces in their purest form.

Elegant and technically sophisticated, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller was designed for those continually travelling the globe. Featuring the Saros annual calendar and Ring Command system, it simultaneously indicates two time zones, as well as the date and month, and allows them to be adjusted with one simple gesture.

The Oyster Perpetual Submariner and Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date, archetypes of the divers’ watch, epitomize the historic link between Rolex and underwater exploration.

When midnight strikes, the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date forms a bridge between past and future, between what has been achieved and what remains to be lived. Since 1956, it has borne witness to the greatest moments in history on the wrist of visionaries, virtuosos and pioneers. Those who make each day a promise for the future.

Hans Wilsdorf was firmly convinced of a person’s ability to innovate and strive for excellence. More than 100 years after the creation of the brand, the founder’s philosophy is more present than ever, from the manufacturing of the company’s watches to its commitments worldwide.

Chopard debuted the Alpine Eagle line with plenty of excitement in 2019. The Alpine Eagle XL Chrono, a much-anticipated follow-up to the three-hand Alpine watches, was introduced by Chopard in 2020. For 2022, the brand has introduced two new Alpine Eagle XL Chrono versions that, for the first time, come with matching rubber straps.

The case is still made from lucent steel A223, a steel alloy that was developed by Chopard and Voestalpine Böhler. Known for its anti-allergenic properties, this special steel alloy material has an intensely reflective character and impressive hardness. Made partially from recycled steel, it’s 50% more resistant to abrasion than run-of-the-mill stainless steel.

The Aletsch Blue and Pitch Black dials make a repeat performance. It features a big index and three subdials to support its chronograph function. With its counterweight shaped like an eagle’s feather, the rhodium-plated second hand takes the form of an arrow.

Evoking a spirit of adventure, the crown is engraved with a compass rose, an instrument that has helped adventurers find their way since ancient times. Today, it has become the emblem of contemporary eagles capable of choosing the right direction in the pursuit of their destiny, an invitation to explore the majesty of the natural world that surrounds us.

The watch is still powered by the Chopard Calibre 03.05-C, mechanical self winding movement that has a 60 hours power reserve. This movement, developed exclusively in Chopard’s watchmaking workshops and chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute, is so reliable for its accuracy.

The Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono, on the other hand, forgoes the precisely constructed bracelets featured on prior versions in favour of colour-coordinated blue and black straps. Each strap has a titanium inlay and is held together by a pin buckle made of Lucent Steel A223.

The adjustments may appear insignificant, but they have given the Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono an entirely distinct appearance. These current styles, which are perhaps more casual with a hint of sportiness, offer something unique.

Happy Sport 36mm (278578-6003)

With its precious dancing gems, this model appears to transform the passing of time into an eternal race towards exhilaration and panache. It was thus entirely natural for Chopard to invite rubies to waltz with its traditional dancing diamonds on the dial of this watchmaking icon. These precious, timeless stones were chosen to symbolise the happy dancing girls.

With a 36mm-diameter stainless steel case size ensuring a perfect fit on a slender wrist, it features a rose gold bezel to make it more elegant. The crown and cabochons come in polished ethical 18-carat rose gold. The crown is set with another ruby, echoing the dancing gems on the dial.

The dial comes in blurry dark blue and white, just like the beautiful sky at night. To complement the dial, the glossy blue alligator strap is fitted to this Happy Sport Watch. Inside the case, there’s an automatic movement that has a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

Happy Sport 30mm (278573-6032)

This model comes with a casual chic look that features a steel case combined with a bezel, crown, and cabochons in polished ethical 18-carat rose gold.

The iridescent dial is in green textured mother-of-pearl, a noble material whose natural waves are reminiscent of its extraction from the heart of shells, featuring a center adorned with a refined guilloché pattern and micro-setting.

Inside the case, there’s a 09.01-C movement, produced in its watchmaking workshops and endowed with a 42-hour power reserve. Its exquisite finishing and curved oscillating weight may be admired through a transparent case-back.

These two models are a reflection of this fast-paced, vibrant life. Right from its beginnings, Happy Sport has lent itself to a perpetual flow of transformations, resulting in a profusion of models reflecting Chopard’s boundless creativity.

Breguet has a strong historical bias for almost all of its timepieces. The Tradition Quantième Rétrograde 7597 is one of them. You can see by looking at this watch’s features that even adding the most simple complication isn’t always that simple.

There are five main models in the Breguet Tradition collection: the hand-wound, GMT, Automatic Retrograde Second, Chronograph, and Tourbillon Fusée-and-Chain. For the first time since 2005, Breguet is introducing a calendar indicator to the collection with its new reference 7597.

Discover our Breguet collection only at The Time Place boutique.

The new Breguet Tradition Quantième Rétrograde 7597 is really based on the Automatique Seconde Retrograde 7097 since it has the same self-winding base movement, but it does not feature retrograde seconds because a new date function has taken their place.

The new Tradition 7597 case maintains the collection’s traditional proportions, with a respectable diameter of 40mm and a height of 12.10mm. Being a Breguet, the caseband is delicately fluted and has a narrow and polished bezel that provides a clear view of the movement, which is what is truly important.

In order to keep the strap in place, the case also has individually welded straight and angular lugs with screw bars at the tips. Both the 18k white gold and 18k rose gold options have a matching colour for their case and strap.

The watch face is much like any other Tradition watch, with all of the important components of the mechanism displayed. A dial that is slightly off-center and barely covers the movement displays the time in hours and minutes. The time is indicated by vintage Breguet hands in blued steel that have the brand’s distinctively atypical “moon” tip and point to a chapter ring with Roman numerals.

The construction of the movement is the main idea of the Tradition watches. With the gear train on the left side and the regulating organ on the right side, it is clear where its lineage comes from and how it pays homage to the original watches.

The key innovation of the Breguet Tradition Quantième Rétrograde 7597 is the date addition, which is shown on the track between 3 and 9 o’clock. A retrograde date was the ideal choice given the movement’s complex architectural design and numerous components.

A screwed push-button at 10 o’clock allows for quick date correction. The centrally located date hand’s form is also excellent, and it is made of blued steel. It needs to be manually molded before being thermally blued in order to pass over the balance and center wheel.

The centre rotor and the identical ornamentation seen on the dial side are also visible on the case back. Although it now turns conventionally through 360 degrees, its design is reminiscent of the winding mass seen on early Perpetuelle pocket clocks.

It has a hand-polished bercé surface composed of solid gold. Despite having an antique appearance, the calibre 505Q uses contemporary components, such as an anti-magnetic Breguet balancing spring and a reverse in-line lever escapement with silicone horns. The movement beats at a 3 Hz frequency and has a 50-hour power reserve.
