Armand Nicolet L07 Venus collection LE

The new Armand Nicolet Limited Edition has taken up a new challenge and joined the exclusive world of chronographs. Following the original series equipped with small seconds functions, Armand Nicolet L07 has been created in a new chronograph version. 

The new Armand Nicolet L07 watch is united in a limited edition of 140 pieces. The timepiece reveals an amazing range of color combinations of its dials and straps. Twenty pieces have incorporated the prominent movement VENUS 175 with column wheel, while the rest of 120 pieces are equipped with the VENUS 188 with 'navettes' system.

This collection has overcome the brand's tradition of developing only very finely decorated movements, the beauty of which is revealed through transparent case backs in sapphire crystal and dial openings.

The plate and the bridges of the movements are worth special attention - they are fully decorated with a new motif called 'Cote de Nicolet' by Armand Nicolet. First, the surface of the plate and bridges acquires perfect polishing. During the next stage, the plate and bridges are manually decorated with help of a special tool with an ivory point. The tool is used for scraping the surface, thus creating nice lines every 2 mm. 

The pattern has been inspired by the decoration applied in the 1930s only on high-end movements developed during that period. All the work performed on the movement recuperates the signature hand-craftsmanship of Armand Nicolet. The heads of the screws are so flat that if to look at them from a front view, they seem to be black, due to the ideal light reflection. 

The balance wheel has incorporated the counter-weight system. The movement, with a 18000-vibrations per hour beat, offers 32-hour power reserve. The same as the Limited Editions introduced earlier, the movement is provided with the engraving of the limited number on the frame opening on the dial. 

The Armand Nicolet L07 watch goes in a special wood case, accompanied by the Certificate of Authenticity. With the value destined to increase over the years, the timepiece has been created for collectors who highly appreciate not only the excellence of the watch's mechanical execution, but also the smart investment ahead in time.

Sinn 6100 Jubilee Regulateur Rose Gold Limited Edition


The 6100 Jubilee rose gold model reflects our self-conception and the Sinn corporate philosophy down to the last detail. It is without doubt the top of the range of classical masterpieces. As a valuable collector’s piece, it is strictly limited to just 45 watches. The elegant watch case is made of 18 ct rose gold. This creates a striking contrast to the jet black, guilloche-embellished dial. The front crystal and see-through back are both anti-reflective, for optimum legibility and a clear view of the working mechanism. The crown is sealed with the Sinn D3 crown system (direkt-doppel-dichtend in German, which translates as ‘direct double seal’). The Model 6100 Jubilee is water-resistant to DIN 8310, withstands pressure up to 10 bar (corresponding to a depth of 100 m) and is unaffected by low pressure.
