K E I T H W. S T R A N D B E R G
EDITORS LET TER
Do Yourself a Favor: Slow Down

They dont call us the human race for nothing. We are constantly racing around,
trying to get the most out of every minute.

Nowhere is that more true than in motorsports. Companies are working
to make engines better and more reliable, so that they can go around the track
even just a millisecond faster. I have talked to a number of race car drivers
and MotoGP pilots and they are obsessed with timebecause they are judged
by it and because, in a sense, time and speed define them.

Off the track, these athletes lives are calibrated to the very minute, and
they need dependable timepieces to keep it all straight. They have to train, eat
right, practice, give interviews, study the tracks, talk to the mechanics and
much more. Theres never enough time.

Sometimes I feel that way in my own life. If I am with my children, I want
to make sure every interaction, every moment matters. When Im working, I
have to juggle so many balls at once I wonder at the end of the day where the
time went.

With todays technology, we cant help but think that we must multitask
all the time. People think youre slacking if you dont answer an email within
10 minutes. When did our lives become like this, chained to work all of our
waking hours?

It wont be any easier for the generations to come, either. Having worked
in the entertainment business in a past life, I love to get lost in movies and
TV shows, but I look at my children and they are even multitasking in their
leisure time. Their faces are lit not just by the glow of the TV set, but also by
the screens of their handheld devices. They are living in a constant state of
FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out.

Despite our desire to speed things up, I think we have to slow things
down. We have to put away our smartphones and focus on enjoying what we
are doing right now, and not think about what we could be doing instead.

The Swiss have it right. Sunday here is a day when you have to relax.
Stores arent open, you cant do yard work because its against the law to mow
your lawn on a Sunday (your neighbors will call the police) and during the
week you are considered out of line if you call someone about work after dinnertime.

Even though the Swiss are working on perfecting the art of watchmaking,
they still take time to enjoy life.

So should we all.

A New Era
PUBLISHERS LET TER
Changes and growth at Watch Journal.

More than 17 years ago I launched a magazine called InSync, which evolved
into this magazine, Watch Journal. The name change came in 2009, following
its acquisition by Sandow Media. Today, Watch Journal is owned by Marc Lotenberg, who also owns the renowned design magazine Surface. For all of these
years, I have been the publisher of the worlds finest watch magazine, setting
the bar for all watch publications higher and higher every year.
Now, we are entering into a new publishing era that will see this magazine exceed beyond all expectations for its category. In the last issue, I introduced our new editor in chief, Hyla Bauer, who came to us from Cond Nast
Traveler, GQ and Vogue, and who more recently served as senior manager of
public relations for Vacheron Constantin, a top brand of the Richemont Group.
In this issue, Im introducing John Clarkin, and welcoming him as the
new publisher of Watch Journal. John joins our new team after a successful
career with some of the largest media companies in the US, including Young
& Rubicam, Gannett and Cond Nast, where he was with Glamour and W. Most
recently, John was the associate publisher of DuJour magazine. In Johns new
position at Watch Journal, he will be responsible for all aspects of the magazines business development including print and digital.
Ive had privileges afforded many watch journalists and publishers including standing on the deck of an active aircraft carrier at sea observing top
gun pilots practice take-offs and landings; Ive taken to the skies with famous
stunt pilots; Ive gone scuba diving to test watches; Ive driven some of the
worlds finest automobiles on test tracks; and year after year Ive gone on motorcycle rides all throughout Switzerland, Italy and the US with top industry
leaders. Please join me in welcoming this great new team and this magazines
new direction.
Cheers!

POULTER VISITS THE MOTHERLAND

In February, Audemars Piguets Golf Ambassador and mechanics enthusiast Ian
Poulter visited the companys birthplace in
snowy Le Brassus, Switzerland, in the Jura
mountains to be immersed in the brands
rich history. During tours of the private
museum and restoration workshop, Poulter
encountered a wealth of first-class complicated timepieces from a history of 140 years
of watchmaking. His fascination with detail
was revealed at the Salon International de
la Haute Horlogerie where with great determination he attempted to successfully
assemble a movement with unbelievable
concentration. Audemars Piguet includes
Ian Poulter in their Dream Team of Golf
Ambassadors, as he and the brand share an
attention to detail and perfectionism. During his stay in Switzerland, Poulter wore the
Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph with a 44

A GRAND HISTORY
In celebration of its 140th anniversary,
Piaget has captured the maisons entire 140year history into one book, Piaget. Written by fashion historian Florence Mller and
with original photography by Steve Hiett
and Philippe Garcia, its pages begin with the
companys founding in La Cte-aux-Fes in
the Jura Mountains in Switzerland and explore the Maisons 40-year history, from
the opening of the first salon in Geneva to
the brands first watchmaking record. This
visually captivating historical journey will
include never-before-seen jewelry renderings, iconic advertisements from the 70s and
images of collaborations with artists, such
as Salvador Dal and Andy Warhol. Timepieces and jewelry from Piagets history are
newly photographed by Hiett and Garcia,
bringing a rich past into the present. The
book will also cover Piagets extensive history and expertise in watchmaking and will
document its 23 ultra-thin movements, its 12

STORMY WEATHER
On December 9, Richard Mille unveiled
its new 50-piece limited edition collection:
The RM 011 Yellow Storm, which debuted
exclusively in Richard Mille boutiques in
Beverly Hills and Las Vegas. Composed of
more than 600 layers of parallel filaments
obtained by dividing carbon fibers, the thin
layers are filled with resin and then woven
on a special machine that modifies the direction of the weft, generating a visual effect reminiscent of precious wood or eddies
in a stream. With a 55-hour power reserve
and water-resistance up to 50 meters, the
timepieces vibrant yellow accents, including its yellow rubber strap with a titanium
DLC buckle, make for a brilliant contrast
against its darker hues. The watch features
major technical innovations, such as its
skeletonized automatic winding movement
with adjustable rotor geometry; 60-minute
countdown timer; 12-hour totalizer; annual
calendar; and an oversized date and month.

RAY OF LIGHT
In the early 17th century, a glassmaker in
Murano accidentally created aventurine
glass when he mistakenly dropped small
pieces of metal into his molten glass. The
result was sparkling, glittery and truly mesmerizing with light-catching properties. In
its new Sunstone collection, Jaquet Droz
uses a type of aventurine glass called sunstone, made with copper flakes, on the dials
of three of its classic watches: the Grande
Seconde Cercle, the Petite Heure Minute
35 mm and the Lady 8. All three watches
feature 18-karat rose gold cases and different self-winding mechanical movements,
all with a power reserve of 69 hours. The
Grande Seconde features a white mother-ofpearl subdial, while the Lady 8 has a domeshaped dial. The Petite Heure is set with 232
diamonds and the Lady is set with 63.

Since 2012, the Saxon watchmaker has
been awarding the Made in Germany Perspektive Fellowship, which offers young
German directors 15,000 euros to finance
their projects. This years winner was Oskar
Sulowski for his feature film pitch Rosebuds, a drama about two rogue brothers
whose encounters with a young Catholic girl
change their lives. In addition to also supporting the Berlinales Retrospective and
Homage sections, Glashtte premiered five
individual short films offering five different
perspectives of the brand. These films depict
Glashtte from a new, somewhat unusual
perspective, giving the brands clients a new
look at the company.

so, he says. So it is critical that we have

accurate and reliable watches. Breitling has
been focused on aviation and spaceflight for
decades now. They build timepieces that
have the pilot in mind from the beginning
of the design process. I cant imagine using
another watch, on or off the planet.
There is no doubt that space travel is
dangerous, but Kelly points out that he is
well aware. It becomes a calculation of risk
versus reward, he says. Not the reward to
me personally, but what does it mean to our
country to have a space program and have
humans exploring this new frontier. I dont
really get scared in space. At least not yet.
I was almost shot down over Iraq several
times. Thats kind of scary.
Kelly wears Breitling watches while hes
flying, and the Emergency that he wore into
space is his current favorite watch. His next
timepiece? Im not sure, but I guarantee it
will be a Breitling, he says. Perhaps the
Breitling 1461.
Kelly, who lives in his wifes hometown of
Tucson, Arizona, always looks at life from
a pilots perspective. Its really nice living
in the desertgreat weather for flying, he
says.
Humans have and always

will be explorers. It is
what got us to North
America, to the bottom
of the deepest oceans and
to the moon. Someday it
will get us to Mars and to
other destinations that we

People who push boundaries intrigue us because they are doing things so few people
have ever doneand thats how our world
changes and improves. Mark Kelly, a retired
American astronaut and confirmed watch
lover, is one of these people.
Humans have and always will be explorers, Kelly says. It is what got us to North
America, to the bottom of the deepest oceans
and to the moon. Someday it will get us to
Mars and to other destinations that we cant

me to explore spaceto go to a place that
relatively few people have visited has been a
remarkable journey and an experience that I
really appreciate.
He believes that space exploration benefits everyone. It expands the depth of
human knowledge and the technologies
have driven a large part of our economy for
the past several decades. he says. My favorite space flight movement was rocketing
off Earth and seeing our planet for the first
time from orbit.
As an astronaut and pilot, Kelly learned
quickly that a watch is a vital tool. We
need to time a lot of operations on the space
shuttle and we often use our watches to do

hands, the color of the hands and more.

For Ickx, the Mille Miglia is a very special race. It is one of the oldest competitions, started in 1927 when the racers were
real adventurers, Ickx explains. Someone
came up with the idea to go from Brescia
to Rome and return nonstop on open roads.
The roads back then were not exactly the
roads we have today.
Over the years, the

Mille Miglia race has
become legendary. Its
something very difficult
to create in motor
racingit has a soul.
Jacky Ickx
In 1957, the Mille Miglia ended because of
an accident. A car crashed into the spectators, and 18 people were killed, Ickx says.
That was the end of the Mille Migliait was
such a shock, it was just too much. Swit-
zerland banned motor racing and it is still

banned there today. In 1977, the Automobile
Club of Brescia decided to recreate the Mille
Miglia using vintage cars on the same roads.
Over the years, the race has become legendary. Its something very difficult to create in
motor racingit has a soul. There are 400
cars at the start, each one more beautiful
than the last. It has become a must-see event
for lovers of vintage cars.
Ickx met Scheufele when the former
looked into making a modification on a
Chopard bracelet he had bought for his wife.
I went to Geneva and I thought I would ask
him to help meI met him as a customer,
he says, smiling. Everything in life is about
timing. The path of life is marked by those
we meet here and therethat's what makes
your destiny. During the last 25 years, we
have really built up a strong friendship. How
many real friends do you have in life? Two
or three that you can trust and will be there,
and Karl-Friedrich is one of those for me.
Today, Ickx is just enjoying his life. There
are very few people who have survived the
era in which I racedall of the others had
dreadful accidents. To be alive is incredible,
and I appreciate every minute.
JAC K Y I C K X
Jacques Bernard "Jacky" Ickx is a legendary

race car driver. He has won the 24 Hours
of Le Mans six times, eight Formula 1 races
and even the Paris-Dakar, a race universally
recognized as the worlds most difficult and
dangerous.
Ickx has partnered with Chopard, run by
his friend Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, to make
some special Jacky Ickx editions of the
brands famous Mille Miglia watches. Every
other year, Ickx competes in the Mille Miglia
with Scheufele.
Most of the time, I don't drive, Ickx admits. I prefer to sit in the passenger seat,
because the scenery in Italy is incredible.
If you are behind the wheel, you just concentrate on the asphalt in front of you. Italy
is so beautiful, and if you trust your driver,
you can enjoy the surroundings. And I trust
Karl-Friedrich.

well marked. I have to do the control, I have
to use the chronograph to time different

part of the game; we know it and accept it.

When I am riding, I dont really think about
the danger. I have my head down and Im
focused. I realize the consequences, but I
enjoy the danger, it captures my attention.
Its not playing cards, after all.
Danger is certainly part

of the game; we know it
and accept it. When I
am riding, I dont really
think about the danger.
I have my head down
and Im focused.
Nicky Hayden
Having Tissot as an official timekeeper

makes sense, because racing is all about
timing. We qualify using lap times only,
not positions on the racetrack, Hayden
says. When you have 24 riders, you want to
start at the front. The position is important,

the times, the gaps to the front. The shorter
your time is the better your position.
MotoGP has evolved in the years Hayden
has been racing. The biggest evolution is
with the electronics, he says. Every six
months, they make big steps. When I first
started riding, there were only basic settings, but now they can dial in everything
for every corner of the track. I am not a
big fan of the electronics because they take
the skill out of riding. One of the main reasons they spend all this money racing MotoGP is so they can use the technology in
street bikes, because with better electronics,
street bikes are much safer.
Hayden still rides motorcycles on the
street, but prefers the track. Once you ride
on the track and have the freedom to go as
fast as you want, its hard to go back. He
has not been in serious accidents, but he
still feels some of them. I had a crash in
Qatar a couple of years ago and I can still
feel it, he remembers, wincing.
When Hayden isnt racing, he can probably be found taking on his family in some
other sport. I love racingits not just a
job, its something inside of me.
N I C K Y H AY D E N
Nicky Hayden came by racing motorcycles

naturally, growing up in a family that rode
and raced bikes. I have a passion for the
sport, he says. I love being on the bike,
being on the edge. The more you ride, the
more you want to rideits like a drug.
Haydens love of watches came later,
when he began competing internationally
and saw other riders wearing great-looking
timepieces. Next year will be my 10th year
working with Tissot, and its been a great
partnership, he says. I won my first pole
position watch and I really loved it, and our
relationship grew from there. I was their
first official world champion. The partnership with Tissot just fits and Im able to do
my signature watch every year, which my
fans really like. Ive got some fans that have
one watch from every year.
Though he is not a watch designer,
Hayden says he gives the brand input during the design process. I work with them
and give them some ideas, he explains.
The watch comes in a case shaped like a
racing helmet, and that was my idea.
Though motorcycle racing has gotten
more safety-conscious over the years, there
is still danger involved. Danger is certainly

valued but incredibly beautiful and even technically

great in terms of the movement are these watches from
the 60s through the 70s by this company called Nivada,
and they have these incredible movements. They are incredibly beautifully built watchesreally exceptional.
Theyre not hugely valuable, but theyre just compelling to me from a design standpoint. And then the other
watches that I tend toward and really like are just sport
watches in general, usually Rolex or Omega, and chronographs, because of the mechanical complications of
them, which I find sort of fascinating and really engaging.
Another huge thing that appeals to me about watches
and collecting in general has to do with the neverending stream of variations and details that exist, even
within the same model. Rolex is a perfect example of
this: in the small variations of a color change, or a typeface alteration, or even just the visible passage of time
through wear. Its fascinating to me that these small
things at once differentiate and determine the value
and desirability of each watch. Collecting watches for
me is a story told through subtle shifts and an endless
chronicling of detail. Collecting allows you to dive
deeply into a particular modellike the Rolex GMT
and still you have the ability to keep learning more and
more. It is a part of collecting that I find really engaging. You can never know enough, and you always want
to learn more.

Im the co-owner of Project No. 8, a store focused on

design in a few different categories. It came out of our
design studio, which is called Various Projects, and so
Project No. 8 is our eighth project from the studio. To
us, its all about an extended conversation about design
and how you interact with things in the world.
I remember being super fascinated with watches
since I was a little kid. I would repeatedly take apart my
parents alarm clocks and then theyd come home and
theyd be in a pile because I could never quite get them
back together again. When I was a teenager, the first
thing I bought with my own money was an old Hamilton watch with its box and papers. There was something
about it that was like time traveling in a way. I loved
owning this thing that had been around for a really long
time and was compelled by it as an object.
One thing I love is just the design of watches. I collect things that Im really interested in from a design
standpoint. The other thing is watches are really beautiful, timeless and feel like an investment that you get
to wear, which I love the idea ofhaving things that you
can use regularly and the more you use them, the more
value they start to have. Theres just something about
that formula that seems perfect to me.
For a while Ive been collecting and gathering watches
that were designed by one of my favorite designers, Max

of can I wear it? So as we say in France, au cote coeurso
when I try something I see if I can afford it and then see if I
can put it in my collection.
Today I only have five watches. Its a small collection, but I hope that every two or three years I can buy a
new one and add to it. My only problem with collecting
watches is that I think its something great and enjoyable, but its kind of like too many cars. I like to wear my
watches and you can only really wear one watch a day.
For me, I think its one of the only pieces of jewelry
that men can wear. Its something that makes you look
different. After spending three years at IWC, I know the
watch industry pretty well. The time and craftsmanship
of this industry is something that I appreciate very much.
I appreciate the time that is spent on creating a watch and
not rushing the object. The complexity of the object itself is quite interesting. You can have a watch that is digital
today and this is going to give you the time and do the job
perfectly. A mechanical wristwatch will give you the time
but not as perfectly as the digital one sometimes, but its
the mechanism and the passion behind the watch that
we have to keep. Its a tradition that we have to keep. Its
something that is very important.

I really got interested in watches when I started to work

for IWC, around 2003. Before then, my father and grandfather were already interested in watches. The first watch
I had was when I turned sixteen and my father gave me
a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. So thats how it started. But
I definitely developed a great interest in watches when
I started at IWC, where I was a sales manager for France,
and from there I would say that I never stopped, and it will
never end.
I like watches that have a history, and I like simple
watches without too many complications. I like the history
behind the item. I have a Panerai Radiomir and its black fill
but its a model that stopped. Its a formal model that was
made before 2006, so its something you cant really buy
new anymore. That makes it a bit more interesting for me.
I like for example also an Audemars Piguet, the jumbo, and
I like the idea of it being the first Royal Oak of this size in
the 70s. I really like the mechanical part of watches, and
the craftsmanship, but I also like the history of when and
how people have created different models and why.
Patek Philippe is one of my favorite brands for the
quality of the design and the movement itself, even if I
dont have one yet. I hope that I will be lucky enough to
have one, one day. I think I like mainly IWC and Audemars
Piguet. It depends on the model. Im not a fan of only one

Its easy to pass right by Old Tom & English, a reservations-only restaurant and bar hidden behind an unassuming wooden door on Wardour Street in Londons
Soho neighborhood. Guests must ring the doorbell to
be welcomed inside, making the experience like visiting
a friends apartment for a casual dinner or an evening of
drinks. Designed by Lee Broom, the concept focuses on
the theatricality of mixology and bartending. Each area
of the watering hole includes bar seating and a lounge
that has its own personal bar service area, where waiters
can finish drinks. For larger parties and a more intimate
setting, there are five cloistered rooms that feature low
cocktail cabinets that guests can open to reveal their
drink orders (the cabinet is secretly accessible to the
bartenders at the main bar). The interiors gray walls are
matched with oak and marble details throughout, offset
by flashes of brass and a vibrant red carpet. This is the
first space to feature Lee Brooms newest lighting collection, Nouveau Rebel. Other designs by Broom within
the bar include his On the Rock glassware, in which the
bars signature cocktails are served in. The drink menu
includes the Louis Royal, comprised of Chambord and
infused with sage, thyme and lemon, and the Wardour,
made of Brockmans Gin with lime juice and sugar syrup
muddled with basil and seasoned with black pepper.
For those seeking a casual dinner, the kitchens Britishinspired menu features bites like pan-fried king scallops,
a seared lamb, triple-cooked chips and rice pudding. This
contemporary take on 1960s home entertaining creates
a warm and elegant space that is accentuated by personal
service and an air of exclusivity.

A Luminous Renovation
of Baur au Lac's Legendary
Le Hall.
By Zo Bodzas
In the last step of an all-encompassing renovation, the

iconic Baur au Lac is celebrating the glorious Le Hall's
transformation. Le Hall, the lobby at the heart of the
120-room luxury hotel, has been a cultural hotspot in
Zurich for generations, where locals and international
jetsetters have mingled, relaxed and exchanged ideas.
Throughout Le Hall's 170 years, the lobby has been
anything but ordinaryin it, Thomas Mann wrote, Marc
Chagall drew, Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner debuted
"Die Walkre" and Alfred Nobel considered a world peace
prize.
Architect and designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, along with
interior designer Frdric d'Haufayt, re-envisioned the
lobby's storied past and sought to create a new light-filled
atmosphere. This meant restoring the original glass dome
roof of Le Hall, which was converted in 1950 to accommodate air conditioning. Rochon, also responsible for
the hotel's remastered Pavillon restaurant and meeting

rooms, thoroughly considered the iconic lobby's history,
present, and future throughout the renovation. With the
return of the glass dome, an Empire period chandelier
and a newly raised ceiling, the elegant, well-lit space also
features handmade wool-and-silk carpeting, a cozy Art
Deco fireplace and two new Pat Steir paintings for a bold
contemporary feel.
Baur au Lac, just a brief walk from Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse and central Paradeplatz, has been in the hands of
the same family for six generations. A traditional afternoon tea, offered daily in Le Hall, presents guests with
scones, sandwiches and pastries. Baur au Lac also features
an interior design boutique, an in-house florist, physiotherapy, a medical massage and, a rooftop fitness center
with mountain and lake views and a wine shop.

18/03/2015 17:08
CARRERA CREATION
Held in Mexico, La Carrera Panamericana was short livedit was discontinued

in 1955 after running for only five years, due to the fact that 27 people lost their
lives during that short time. Since then, the Carrera Panamericana has long
been considered an important historical road race.
Jack Heuer, when he was looking for a name for a new racing-inspired
watch for TAG Heuer, chose Carrera in honor of the amazing race. Little did he
know that the name, and its corresponding very successful range of timepieces,
would still be around more than 50 years later.
I first heard about the Carrera from driver Pedro Rodriguez at the Twelve
Hours of Sebring, where TAG Heuer was the Official Timekeeper, remembers
Jack Heuer. He and his brother, Ricardo, were two of the fastest, smartest and
bravest endurance drivers of all time. To hear them talk of the Carrerawhich
our brands longtime friend Juan-Manuel Fangio had won in 1953made my
imagination soar. Just the sound of the name itself...elegant, dynamic, easily
pronounced in all languages and charged with emotion. I knew then that my
new chronograph was the perfect tribute to this legend.
When the Carrera was designed, Heuer worked to create a timepiece to
meet the needs of professional drivers: a wide-open, uncluttered and easy-toread dial in a shock- and water-resistant case tough enough to be worn in the
cockpit of any racecar. In fact, the chronograph counters were inspired by
dashboard instruments and the straps and bracelets were based on the perforated leather gloves favored by drivers of that era. The design is rock solid,
based on 1960s modernismthe geometric purity and curving, sensual lines
and the clean, uncluttered aesthetics of Pop Art.
The Carrera succeeded phenomenally and became the watch for drivers
to wear. The chronograph is my favorite kind of watch, Jack Heuer says. I
am a sportsman and the chronograph has a real function. In my years, making a chronograph was the high end of the watch industry, as everything had
to be assembled and polished, and it was an art to do it right. Back then, the
chronograph set you apart from all the others.
For TAG Heuer, the Jack Heuerdesigned Carrera collection first introduced
in 1963 was a clear turning point. Named after the legendary automobile race
in Mexico, the Carrera firmly placed TAG Heuer on the path to phenomenal
success. Elegant yet supremely sporty, the Carrera was instantly embraced by
consumers and adopted by professional race drivers around the world.
This year, TAG Heuer mined its Carrera heritage for inspiration, and
introduced two new Carrera models in a smaller size (39 mm) and sporting the
vintage Heuer logo at Baselworld.
TAG says in their logo, Swiss Avant Garde since 1860, says Jean-Claude
Biver, president of the Watch Division of the LVMH Group and CEO of TAG
Heuer. If you are avant garde, from time to time you have to come back to
history. I believe in two elements that have to be combined togetherwith no
tradition, you have no future, but at the same time, with no innovation, you
also have no future. So, you need both tradition and innovation, thats the best
way to have a future.
As TAG Heuer has been trying to connect with the future in the last years,
I believe the brand has to say hello to the heritage and the past, to say hello to
our culture and our tradition, Biver continues. The best way to do this was to
make these two Carrera watches, inspired by models first introduced in 1963.

TAG Heuers future is linked with innovation on

has been extremely active in high watchmaking,
and this will continue, but the company is also
firmly focused on the future.

THE NEW CARRERA TIMEPIECES
The new Carrera watches are both sized at a reasonable 39 mm and come in
two versionsa three hand COSC-certified chronometer using the Calibre 6
and an automatic chronograph equipped with the Calibre 18.
The Calibre 6 almost perfectly mimics the design of the original Carrera,
but adds color to the mix, with silver, blue and a touch of red, along with the
original Heuer logo, combining to make this watch a mixture of heritage and
modernity.
The Calibre 18 chronograph, in black and silver, is also based on the
original Carrera. The chronograph counters are perfectly situated at nine and
three oclock, black on an elegantly simple silver dial. A unique feature for TAG
Heuer is the telemeter scale on the outside of the dial, the first time TAG Heuer
has used this old-school military tool on a modern watch. With the telemeter
scale, you can measure the distance of sound. For example, you see lightning
strike, activate your chronograph, then stop the chronograph when you hear
the thunder and the elapsed time, in seconds, is the distance the storm is from
you. Both timepieces come on a vintage-looking black perforated leather strap.
Biver sees these new Carrera models as heralding a new direction for
TAG Heuer. These two pieces will be the first in the Heritage Collection, and
this collection is to remind us never to forget our past, he explains. These
Carrera watches are just the first and we plan to come out with a Heritage piece
every 24 months or so. So, in 10 or 15 years, there will be a collection of pieces
that are milestones of our past.
RACING AND TAG HEUER
TAG Heuer has been associated with racing for the majority of its existence,
and Biver knows that motor sports are important to TAG Heuer. As a result, the
brand is working with Formula E, the electric powered segment of Formula 1.
Recently, TAG Heuer hosted an event in downtown Geneva, where the brandsponsored Formula E Renault racecar was driven through the streets of Geneva
and across the Montblanc bridge, celebrating the possible return of the Grand
Prix to Switzerland (the last race was held in 1954).
We want to be connected to motor sports in different ways, says Biver.
The decision to become involved in Formula E is quite avant garde compared
to Formula 1. Formula E is more than a race, it is the biggest innovation in
motor racing and entertainment over the last 10 years. It all adds up to zeroemission, unlimited adrenaline and fun. I will be proud if we can host the ePrix
here in Switzerland.
TAG Heuers future is linked with innovation on the one hand and respecting
and honoring the past on the other. Over the past ten years, TAG Heuer has
been extremely active in high watchmaking, and this will continue, but the
company is also firmly focused on the future.
The R&D department has been split in two, Biver explains. One part is
devoted to haute horology, and the other part is devoted to haute technology.
If you are avant garde, you should also be active in the real avant garde, which
is somewhere else other than high watchmaking. Now that we have achieved
what we have in high watchmaking, the time has come to have engineers and
software people develop the high technology as well. Next year we will be introducing something new in the technology section.
We want to send the message that TAG Heuer is a Swiss Made watchmaking brand, but is also dynamic, innovative and a little bit disruptive, Biver
continues. We want to be perceived as a young brand loved by the young generation, and different from other brandsa true leader in our price category.

Ever since chronographs were first

developed, they have been used to time
sporting events.
TIMING AND
MOTORCYCLE RACING
Theres no arguing that MotoGP is one of
the most exciting sports on the planet. The
riders, whose knees and sometimes elbows
often skim the surface of the track, are fantastic athletes. The bikes, which reach
speeds of up to almost 350 kilometers per
hour in the straights, are technological marvels. Tissot is the official timekeeper of MotoGP and is therefore in charge of timing all
of the MotoGP races.
The timing system, which uses receivers

embedded in the track, takes information
from transponders placed on the motorcycles
and provides real-time data on speed, engine
rpm, gear position, time and more. The MotoGP teams participate in this system, giving
the timers access to additional data from
the bike and, in turn, get back real-time stats
that were previously unavailable.
Incredibly, the complete system is installed before the practice runs begin at
every track where MotoGP races are held.
Timing is so critical that MotoGP and Tissot
cant risk using and relying on any other
system.
In the timing room, computers receive
time and speed data, which they then automatically send to sports broadcasters, the
media center and the web almost instantaneously. It only takes a second or two for
the information to reach the MotoGP website.
Timing is so crucial that even the backup

systems have backup systems, including
human spotters who record the positions
and double-check the electronic readouts.
Tissot benefits from this emphasis on precision with its signage on the track and its
branding on TV whenever timing results are
displayed. Every MotoGP race is televised
globally, giving Tissot worldwide exposure.
As a result, many watch companies have

gotten involved with sporting events as official timekeepers and sponsors; theyve also
created official timepieces just for the occasion. Were taking a look at two watchmakers conducting high-profile timing operations
in sports we love.
THE OLYMPICS
Omega has been the official timekeeper of
the Olympic Games since 1932. In the beginning, events were timed by dedicated stopwatches operated by officials.
Today, each sport is supported by electronic sports timing, including an Electronic
Start System, which has replaced the iconic
starter pistol in track and field. The starting
blocks on the track have built-in electronics

Omega has an amazing presence at the

Olympics and is extremely noticeable during TV coverage; signage is everywhere and
all timing is identified as coming from
Omega. In addition, Omega makes limitedand special-edition Olympic watches.
WATCHES AS
OFFICIAL TIMEKEEPERS
In addition to these two examples, there are
plenty of other watch companies involved
with the timing of sporting events, including:
Rolex (24 Hours of Daytona, others)
TAG Heuer (historically with Formula One and LeMans)
Corum and the Admirals Cup
(Yacht Racing)
Graham (Isle of Man TT)
Chopard (Mille Miglia)
Longines (French Open, Skiing)
Citizen (US Open)
Panerai (Classic Yacht Racing)

Watches, and chronographs specifically,
have been linked to sports timing since the
very beginning. Though no one uses watches
to time sporting events any longer, the connection to precision is an important one,
linking these watch brands to the pursuit
of perfection in sports.
After all, isnt getting our run timed accurately just as important as timing Usain
Bolts gold medal runs?
that measure the sprinters reaction times

and indicate false starts. Likewise, touch
pads in the pool have revolutionized swimming competitionsand this year, the timing system was five times more accurate
than previous Olympic games and included
a light system built into the starting blocks
that indicated first, second and third places.
Time is not something to take lightly,
especially when so much is on the line. To
ensure both accuracy and credibility, a lot
of people and equipment are required so
that the timing of the Olympic games runs
smoothly. At the 2012 London Olympics, the
impressive operation included:
450 on-site professionals
800 trained volunteers
420 tons of equipment
70 public scoreboards

The Mille Miglia, held every year in Italy, is the worlds foremost vintage car
rally. To get to the bottom of what makes the Mille Miglia special, I sat down
with Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, president of Chopard and a perennial Mille
Miglia participant.
Is time a big factor?

Time is a huge factor, but not in the way one might expect. It is not a speed
race but a test of timing and driving skillsas a precision rally, time is everything since the winner is the driver who arrives most consistently on the dot
(at the time allotted by the organization). Judging speed, time and distance
accurately and precisely is the key to winning the rally.
Why do you enjoy the Mille Miglia?
We enjoy the Mille Miglia for many reasons, but obviously there are two
standouts: the beauty, raw power and vintage aesthetics of these thoroughbred racecars that have no modern safety systems, and the thrill and sheer
beauty of powering through the Italian countryside without knowing which
surprises might be lurking in or around the next corner. Also, there is a great
sense of camaraderie and gentlemanly sportsmanship between the competing
teams and drivers, which makes for a brilliant atmosphere.
F E AT U R E : T H E R E A L M I L L E M IGL I A
How is the Mille Miglia different from other rallies and races?
It is the most important and prestigious historical precision rally, with a large
number of participants and exceptional automobiles. Its slogan is La corsa
piu bella del mundo. (The most beautiful race in the world.)

Karl-Friedrich Scheufele
What are your most interesting anecdotes from the Mille Miglia?
Well, I have one story that happened many years ago now, which will give
you a feel for what driving these vintage automobiles is like, especially the
very early ones. My girlfriend Christina and I left from home for Brescia in
my 1929 Bentley Blower that had just been entirely restored to mint condition. We arrived in Brescia for the race, and we started among a small group
of Blowers, which was quite exciting, but I couldnt help but wonder how it
was possible that the other drivers could brake so late going into the turns
while I had to start braking so early. The steering was so stiff and heavy that
I actually developed blisters on both hands from turning the steering wheel
the first day. Those were the small things. Heading down to Rome from a

What is your favorite Mille Miglia watch?

That is a difficult question to answer because they all bring up so many memories, but probably my favorite one would be the 8331 model from 1998 with
the black dial, because it was our first automatic chronograph model, our first
Mille Miglia with the rubber Dunlop tire strapa combination that was the
key to the success that we know today.

Does Chopard do a different Mille Miglia collection every year?

Absolutely notthe highlight of the year is generally the Mille Miglia Race
Edition. However, each yearly edition we make for the rally can be seen as
a prototype whose design elements might well find themselves evolving in
the core product range. The Mille Miglia GTS is in fact the first entirely new
collection since 2005 when we launched the Mille Miglia GT XL generation.
What elements of the watches reflect the Mille Miglia?

The readability, the indexes that reflect the milestones along the road, the
predominantly red accent color that recalls the Mille Miglia arrow, the curves
on the case referencing the sheet metal of the race cars themselves, the
engraved indentation around the bezel symbolizing the pistons in the engines
and the oversized and very technical crown which brings to mind the filler cap
and the hubcaps on the cars.
at a proper downhill speed. No longer being able to use the engine brake by
downshifting, I could only resort to the poor braking ability mentioned earlier,
and, standing with all my weight on the brake pedal, unable to turn the steering wheel at the same time, we came to a stop about 5 centimeters from a huge
boulder that was positioned perfectly in line with the middle of the hairpin!
We did complete the entire race despite these incidents, then drove
home via the snow-covered Grand St. Bernard pass. At one point, going up
the Italian side, the accelerator pedal snapped in half so I couldnt give the car
any gas. Luckily the pedal itself was hollow so I was able to replace the missing half with a screwdriver. Finally we arrived in the area of our home, late at
night, in pouring rain, with the headlights malfunctioning, and our windshield
wipers having already failed. I took the car to a different vintage car restorer
this time, a former violinist turned expert mechanic. He examined the car,
showed me the oil that had sprayed everywhere in the engine compartment,
and confirmed that the brakes and steering were essentially nonfunctional.
He looked straight into my eyes and declared: You must be bloody mad!
Anyway, the story is a condensed edition of what can happenand frequently
doesduring a Mille Miglia race, and also highlights the way in which it
brings people together: Christine and I got married a few months later.
How challenging is it to come up with something new every time?

Developing a new dial, strap or case element seems trivial but requires quite
a lot of time for prototyping and testing to ensure perfection. So not only do
we need to come up with a new design (we rarely settle on the first prototype)
that will inspire our collectors yet be visibly linked to our core collection, but
we need the prototype and get it ready for production. So it is fairly challenging both on the design side and on the development sidecombined we are
talking about most of the year between the races.

THE EXPERIENCE
Ever since I watched Boormans TV shows, Long Way Round and Long Way Down, I
have dreamed of riding a motorcycle through a foreign country.
I havent done much off-road riding, though, and I was a little nervous about it. We
were starting the trip in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, then riding across Botswana, ending the
tour in Johannesburg, South Africa.
I figured I would try the off-road whenever I could, but Id be reasonable if it got to
be too much.
At the time, Boorman and his pal, the actor Ewan McGregor, were about to circumnavigate
the world on BMW motorcycles.
When the opportunity arose to test a Bremont on a ride with Boorman and Nick
English across Africa, riding on- and off-road through Zimbabwe, Botswana and South
Africa, I jumped at it. It promised to be the trip of a lifetime
When brothers Nick and Giles English first started

Bremontbefore they even had timepieces to sellthey
approached Charley Boorman to help them test their
prototypes under extreme conditions.
THE BIKE
On the first day, we landed in Victoria Falls, known as the smoke that thunders to locals,
and picked up our bikes. I was assigned a dark gray 2014 BMW R 1200 GS, complete with
the most advanced rider aids on the planet. I found the bike to be incredible off-road, easy
to ride and handle despite its height and weight, and reasonably comfortable on-road. Ive
always admired the GS, so it was a real pleasure to put it through its paces.

BELOW LEFT: Keith Strandberg at Victoria Falls
I was wearing a Bremont MBII with an orange barrel during the ride. This watch was
developed and tested with the help of Martin Baker, the preeminent maker of ejector seats
in the world. If anything could withstand the wilds of Africa, it was the MBII.
Not only is it tough, but the watch is very attractive. Most of the riders on our trip
were not watch people, so it was my pleasure to give them an introduction to fine watches
by sharing the MBII with them. They were all impressed by this quality timepieceso much
so that I had to make sure I got the watch back before each days ride began.
The riding we did was a mixture of really good tarmac, incredibly potholed surfaces
(in fact, in some places there were more potholes than road), smooth grass and dirt, hard
pack dirt covered with sand (with plenty of washboards and ruts) and thick sand. It was the
washboards on the hard pack that really tested the watch the most, as the vibrations were
incredible when we hit them doing more than 60 miles per hour.
The Bremont MBII I wore sailed through its test with flying colors, taking the extreme heat (upward of 100 degrees Fahrenheit) and the rugged terrain completely in stride.
For the trip, Boorman wore a S2000 dive watch and English wore a U-2/BL with a blue
dialboth of which also made it through without a problem.
THE WATCH
The English brothers asked us to try their

watches on our trip, shake them up a bit
on the bikes, because theres only so much
testing you can do at the factory.
Charley Boorman
Boorman wears his Bremont constantly, on and off the bike. The English brothers asked
us to try their watches on our trip, shake them up a bit on the bikes, because theres only so
much testing you can do at the factory, he remembers. What I really liked was that I was
and continue to be part of their development and in a tiny way I have helped them create
these great watches. We became friends and I love working with them.
Though Boorman works as an ambassador for Bremont, he and English are more like
close friends, constantly ribbing each other, which is a pleasure to see.
Charley is very grounded, says Nick English. He encompasses everything we
wantadventure, a love of mechanical thingsand he can talk to anyone.
He adds that Bremonts watches are made to be up to the task of adventuring. I dont
know how many mechanical watches would be able to survive what we didsmashing them
around, falling off the bike, the extremes of heat and vibration, he says.

OFF THE BIKE
There were many times as I wound my way past villages and through the bush that I
thought to myself, Youre actually riding a motorcycle in Africa! Still, some of the most
memorable experiences I had were off of the bike.
One afternoon during a long tarmac ride, English decided to head into a little village
to beat the monotony, and a group of five of us followed him in. We rode past mud huts
and small stores until the road ended. As we came to a stop just to rest for a bit, hundreds
of children ran out of the school next to us and surrounded our bikes. Clamoring for communication and a personal connection, the children in their uniforms took us on a tour
of their school, showing us their classrooms, singing songs for us and warmly giving us a
glimpse into their lives.
Seeing their sparse classrooms and how hard they were working to forge a better life
for themselves really hit home with me, and we left the school and the village humbled and
more thankful for our lives than we have ever been before.
What I expected to be the trip of a lifetime never disappointed. I had the most amazing, experience witnessing the grandeur of the real Africa, while riding motorcycles and
testing watches.
When I came back, my head never felt clearer, says English. Physically, I am a bit
bruised and I still have a thorn in my backside, but while I was there I completely tuned
out. You are so focused on not killing yourself on those dirt tracks that you cant think
about anything else.
Being with the kids at that school was so humbling to meseeing them so delighted
to see us and wondering if education will get them out of their situation. Going out to Kudu
Island was quite a challenge and I hadnt pushed myself like that for some time. To know
that I can do that was fantastic.
For me, knowing that Bremonts watches are built just for these types of adventures
whether on the ground or in the skiesis comforting, even when Im back in Switzerland
on my Harley Road King.

ABOVE: A vintage Luminox with superb luminosity

a predecessor of todays Dive Chrono Model 8153
For many people, being able to read watches in the dark is

an important thing. Sure, some watches have no luminous
material on their dials at all, but they are definitely in the
minority these days. Most watches can be read in the dark
for at least a little while, and some for close to a day. SuperLuminova is by far the most popular method of adding
luminosity. To find out more I visited with the makers of
Super-Luminova, RC Tritec.
LUMINOSITY
The history of luminosity is very interesting, indeed. In the beginning, the use of
radioactive luminous material was the norm and technicians applied radioactive
radium and tritium paint by hand, taking no precautions whatsoever. RC Tritec
was founded in St. Gallen, Switzerland in 1935 and at that time, the paint was
used by ateliers who bought the powder material, mixed it with a binder, then
applied it by brush or pin to the dials and hands, says Albert Zeller, CEO of
RC Tritec. In 1938, my grandfather started production of radium compound
in his house. After World War II, he continued with the production of radium
luminescent paint and at the end of the 50s, some American customers, mainly
Timex, came up with the request to get another, safer, less toxic and less
radiating luminescent material for watch applications. The radium luminescent
material is an alpha, beta and gamma emitter, which was able to penetrate
through the glass and housing of the watch and irradiate the skin and give a dose
of radiation to the wearer. Old radium watches, in fact, register immediately on
a Geiger counter.
Many different possibilities were looked at and the most promising one
was tritium, an isotope of hydrogen with a very weak beta radiation, which can
pass only a few microns into a material, and then all the electrons are absorbed.
The half life is 12.5 years, so it can maintain constant brightness throughout its
life. In fact, tritium is the least toxic radioactive isotope known. Around 1962,
the entire watch industry switched from radium to tritium.
We were given a license by the US Radium Company to manufacture
this tritium luminous compound, Zeller notes. This continued until 1994.

SUPER-LUMINOVA
THE FUTURE
Super-Luminova works like a batteryit has to be charged before you can

take any energy out of it. When you charge the Super-Luminova in the light
(sunlight or artificial light), you lift the electrons in the Super-Luminova to a
higher level. The stronger the activation light and the longer it is exposed, the
more electrons can be lifted. When you turn off the light, the electrons fall down
and the energy is released in the form of light. The brightness is very strong at
the beginning and then gradually dims until it eventually loses all of its visible
brightness. Because it is not a chemical process but a modification of a crystal,
Super-Luminova doesnt lose its effectiveness over time.
What makes one Super-Luminova shine brighter? It comes down to the
amount of material and the way it is applied to the watch. None of the watch
brands do their own application of Super-Luminovaits all done by small
ateliers throughout Switzerlandbut companies do specify how much, how
and where to apply the Super-Luminova material. The determining factor is
the amount and thickness of Super-Luminova material, as well as the color,
because Super-Luminova comes in a number of colors, Zeller says. The more
material you apply on the dial and the hands, the higher the light storage
capacity. Watch brands can use different grain sizes of the Super-Luminova
material, too. For certain designs, the small grains are used to make smooth,
shiny surfaces, but they are a little weaker.
Super-Luminova is an expensive material, but the amount used on a
watch is miniscule. With one gram of material, you can luminize between 200
and 1,000 watches, Zeller details. With one kilogram, you can make between
200,000 and one million watches. The average cost of the material is only a few
cents per watch, but the application cost is about 10 to 20 times the cost of the
material. If you have a complicated application, all done by hand, the cost is
much higher.
Everyone was using the tritium luminous compound, except for the Japanese.
In December 1993, the Swatch Groups CEO, Nicolas Hayek, decided to
change from tritium self luminous material to nonradioactive afterglow material,
Zeller continues. He wanted to use only ecologically friendly materials in his
Swatch watch. In 1994, a new composition of afterglow materials came onto the
market when Nimota Ltd. in Japan patented a new trontium aluminate material,
now known as Super-Luminova, which was nonradioactive and showed good
brightness and afterglow performance. With Super-Luminova, it was possible
to make watches that can glow for a whole night.
From 1995 to 2000, some companies stayed with tritium, some used both
tritium and Super-Luminova and some used only Super-Luminova. Then SuperLuminova was almost universally adapted by the Swiss watch industry (the basic
raw material is provided by Nimota, and RC Tritec does the transformation for
the Swiss watch industry). Today, no companies use radium or tritium paint
and 98 percent of the industry uses Super-Luminova.
RC Tritec, in fact, is authorized by the Swiss government to receive
watches and parts coated in radium or tritium paint for safe disposal. While I
was in St. Gallen, Zeller showed me hands and indices from the 40s and 50s,
all of which were coated in radioactive radium.
There is a research association in Switzerland that has launched a project to

find new luminous materials and RC Tritec is participating, but nothing better
than Super-Luminova has been found so far.
Colors have evolved today, as have the formulation and the production
process for increasing performance. Today, designers ask for all kinds of
special colors, starting from copying the old radium brown material to Pantone
colors that match nail and hair colors, Zeller says. Everyone wants better
performance from the luminous material, so we are steadily improving the
quality with standard grades, and we will be bringing out a new quality grade
soon. In addition, we now have Lumicast, a 3-D luminous casting, which has
very high precision and offers a much brighter performance.

BELOW: The Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date worn

by Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar

Hamilton is one of the most famous names in American watchmaking and for
good reason. Established in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1892, Hamilton was an innovative
company that at the time took on the Swiss at their own game and taught them a thing or
two. Even though the company is now owned by the Swatch Group, Hamilton remains an
American watch brand. Its tagline says it all: American Spirit, Swiss Precision.

Hamilton is an innovator in more ways than one. They have redesigned watch
production and created new materials, lubricants and processes. The brands iconic designs, like the Ventura, the Khaki and the Jazzmaster, are instantly recognizable. In addition, Hamilton is one of the only turn-of-the century watch companies that has continuously
operated since it opened and that still survives today.

During World War II, Hamilton ceases all consumer watch

production, dedicating its entire capacity to the military,
making watches, timers and more.
As a result, Hamilton earns the E for excellence
award and is the only watch manufacture to produce the
incredibly difficult-to-manufacture marine chronometer
necessary for accurate navigation on the high seas (they make
a total of 10,902 units).
19391945
Hamilton introduces a limited edition watch that celebrates

the chronometer, the Khaki Navy Pioneer, in 2013.
Hamilton produces more than one million timepieces
for military use from 19281945.
1892
A group of Lancaster businessmen forms the Hamilton
Watch company out of the ashes of several other failed watch
companies. Hamilton would be the only one to succeed,
a combination of timing, luck and an emphasis on
quality products.
1912
1928
Hamilton introduces the Piping Rock and Yankee watches,
uniquely shaped styles that cement the brands reputation
as a style leader.
1951
Hamilton becomes known as the Watch of Railroad Accuracy.

The brands first watch is created to exceed railroad standards,
and Hamilton makes its mark as a leader in precision and
quality.
Hamilton, now known as the Movie Brand, makes its first

appearance in a motion picture, the Oscar-nominated
film The Frogmen. It is the first of more than 400 movie
appearances for Hamilton timepieces.

1957
Hamilton introduces the Ventura, the worlds first electric
watch. This revolutionary watch, favored by Elvis (he even
wore it in his 1961 film Blue Hawaii) remains a best seller, in
several forms, almost 60 years later.
Also prominently featured in the Men in Black series, the
Ventura still looks forward-thinking and cutting-edge today.
1972
Hamilton introduces the Pulsar, the companys
first digital LED watch.
1974
SSIH, which eventually becomes the Swatch Group,

acquires Hamilton.
2003
Hamilton moves its production and offices to Biel, Switzerland.
2006
Hamilton creates and becomes the leading sponsor of the

Hamilton Behind The Camera Awards, recognizing the crew
members who labor behind the scenes.
1968
Legendary film director Stanley Kubrick approaches Hamilton
to create a watch and clock for his ground-breaking film
2001: A Space Odyssey. Hamilton designs nonworking
prototypes for the movie. The watch is a film highlight, and
is subsequently featured in many magazines afterward.
Customers clamor for the production of the pieces, but the
watch is deemed too expensive to produce.
Later on, to celebrate the films 40th anniversary, Hamilton
brings out a production version limited to 2001 pieces.
2014
Working with director Christopher Nolan, Hamilton creates
the Murph watch, a one-off watch used as an integral plot
device in the movie Interstellar.
Hamilton will continue to focus on intriguing, boundarycrossing designs, combining its Swiss precision with its
American spirit.

A complication that allows the wearer to view the 24 different

time zones in the world simultaneously, and to set a home and
away time to suit his needs. The Patek Philippe World Time
features a 24-hour display, and a day/night indicator for the 24
time zones. In the Patek Philippe World Time, the time zone is
adjusted with a tap on the pushpiece at 10 oclock, so there is no
need to adjust the time by moving the hands of the watch. The
5130/1G is powered by a mechanical self-winding movement
with a minimum of 48 hours of power reserve when fully wound.

functions to be used easily and efficiently. Sophisticated and reliable, the skeleton chronograph movement of the BR-X1 is truly exceptional and combines haute horlogerie finishes with extreme lightness.
