Breguet Classique 5717 Hora Mundi Watch

The new Breguet Classique 5717 Hora Mundi Watch is somewhat misleadingly named, as this timepiece, crafted by one of our favorite Swiss watchmakers, is more than just classic. Aside from having the choice between a map of either the Eastern or Western hemispheres on the dial, and either 18k gold or 950 platinum casing, the watch also boasts a moon phase indicator and dual time mechanism. The dual time function is especially handy for frequent travelers; at the push of a button the time switches instantly between two time zones, and keeps track of AM/PM, and changes the date when appropriate. I bet Christopher Columbus would’ve given his left arm for this instrument, but thank god we can get it at the Breguet online store.

Chanel J12 Chromatic

The Chanel J12 Chromatic is made of a new proprietary ceramic titanium material that is of course highly scratch resistant with a hardness close to that of sapphire.  The J12 Chromatic features a spectrum of models — 38mm and 41mm case sizes each with an automatic mechanical movement, and a more petite 33mm case size with a quartz movement.   Water resistant to 200 meters.   I also have a nice closeup of the dial (below) in which you can see the fantastic design work — circular pattern on the outer dial, brushed pattern on the inner dial.  There are also diamond and diamond baguette encrusted models (set in an 18k white gold bezel).  You can see the full lineup, below:
