Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute
New from Breitling is the Navitimer Cosmonaute. With its circular slide rule for mathematical calculations, the trio of chronograph sub-dials and the 24-hour time indicator, the Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute is perhaps the ultimate Navitimer. Drawing inspiration from the original model, the new Navitimer Cosmonaute does have some contemporary touches, namely the platinum bezel and open sapphire caseback providing a view of the amazing B02 movement. Fantastic stuff.

Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Tribute to Great Civilisations
Vacheron Constantin unveiled its latest additions to its Métiers d’Art family of watches with the new Tribute To Great Civilisations collection. Comprised of four distinct models, each made in a limited run of only five pieces, the new Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Tribute to Great Civilisations is an ode to the great civilisations of the past. Designed in close collaboration with the Louvre, each Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art Tribute to Great Civilisation model references a piece in the museum’s collection, including the Grand sphinx de Tanis, Lion de Darius, Victoire de Samothrace, and the Buste d’Auguste.
