Last week, many a watch enthusiast could indulge in Geneva during the prestigious Watches and Wonders. For seven days, nearly 50 brands showed their novelties and latest innovations in watches. GASSAN would like to run through some of them with you.
The GMT Master II allows the wearer to view time in another time zone. This watch marks our connection to the world. The model is now available in two new versions: one in 18-karat yellow gold and one in yellow Rolesor, a combination of gold and steel. Both come with a Cerachrom bezel ring of gray and black ceramics, a completely new color combination. The outstanding craftsmanship is evident in the choice of materials and the precise workmanship, which together make the watch come into its own. The harmonious contrast between the brilliant gold of the Jubilee strap and the two-tone bezel with darker, less saturated colors recall the Earth's orbit around the sun and the alternation between day and night.
For the first time, the Santos-Dumont watch features a skeleton movement: a tribute to the aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, for whom Louis Cartier designed the first modern wristwatch in 1904. This new skeleton timepiece includes a functional, miniaturized oscillating weight in the form of a replica of the Demoiselle, a precursor of the airplane as we know it today, which the aviator designed in 1907.
Available in two color variations, the Reverso One Precious Colours feature a richly decorated case that pays direct homage to the geometric style of Art Deco. GASSAN is also unveiling the new Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon. In its new ultra-thin rose gold case, the absence of an upper bridge allows an unobstructed view of the flying Tourbillon, which is also visible from the back.
The new Radiomir Otto Giorni PAM1348 features a blue dial inspired by historic aluminum dials. It has a characteristic aged look and is inspired by the very first Radiomir prototype from 1935 with a diameter of 47 mm.
For Watches and Wonders 2023, TUDOR is paving the way to the future by paying homage to the past. The new additions to the Black Bay line offer a modern expression of the brand's very first dive watch launched in 1954. TUDOR introduces the new Black Bay with a burgundy bezel featuring both technical and aesthetic developments. This model features evolved design elements, a "T-fit" clasp and is Master Chronometer-certified by METAS.
Meet the Alpine Eagle 41 XPS. Only 8 mm thick, the latest addition to the Alpine Eagle collection with its COSC-certified L.U.C 96.40-L movement, stands out with its 41 mm case and integrated bracelet made of Lucent Steel™.
The return of the ultimate driver's watch. Because of its history and our connection to racing, the TAG Heuer Chronograph feels at home both on the track and on public roads. There are two models one with a distinctive blue dial on a blue calf leather strap; and a second with a black and silver "reverse panda" dial, the nickname given to black dials with contrasting white or silver subdials. The iconic TAG Heuer Carrera is reflected by its wearers the adventurers who seek challenges every day.
