Ebel has interesting news. The new Ebel Classic Hexagon and a give-away on the Ebel Facebook page!

You want to win a beautiful leather watch holder? Go to the Ebel Facebook page and answer the questions of the contest. From August 16th to August 20th they will post one question a day. Answers to the questions can be found at the Ebel website or the Facebook page.

Another good reason to take a closer look at the Ebel is the new Ebel Classic Hexagon Large Date. To be honest, until now the only Ebel i really paid attention to, is the 1911 series. The new Classic Hexagon looks like a very nice dress watch that for me would meet all requirements for daily use. It looks good, both with suit or jeans and the large date is a very nice feature.

Linde Werdelin teamed up with E’collezione in Singapore which resulted in a special edition 3-Timer Racing Series. But be aware, it’s limited…very limited!

This limited edition of the 3-Timer is seriously limited… only 9 pieces of each color! If you’re not familiar with the Linde Werdelin multi timezone watches you can read my reviews. In January of this year Linde Werdelin gave me a 2-Timer for an extensive test and last year I reviewed the 3-Timer.

The launch of this Linde Werdelin 3-Timer special edition coincides with the Grand Prix in Singapore. The model name is engraved in the caseback. The other difference with the ‘normal’ 3-Timer are the two color variations. Personally I really like the 3-Timer as an all-round sports and out-door activities watch. And now I really like the yellow version!

Since it’s beginning in 2004 HAUTLENCE has grown to become a serious name in the world of Haute Horlogerie. With their newest model, the HL2.0, they really show what’s possible with their combination of design and technique.

From the start, Hautlence has created rather unusual looking watches. Although the first models used the conventional and super reliable Peseux 7001 as base caliber, nothing was conventional about the Hautlence HL and HLs collections. The new HL2.0 takes it even a step further. They call it their ‘Second Philosophy of Timekeeping’….

The Hautlence HL2.0 is a small wonder of technique and design. Not only visually innovative, but technically it’s also offering some very interesting innovations.

Vincent Plomb, a Swiss watchcase constructor, launched a new project that looks very interesting. Check out the Vicenterra GMT-3.

I just stumbled across this information about the Vicenterra GMT-3. Most information i can find is in French, except for a information leaflet on the Vicenterra Watch Facebook page… for the rest I haven’t heard of Vincent Plomb before.

This Viceterra looks very nice i must say. It’s one of the watches that made me looks twice… and again. However, the pictures are only computer renderings, so no real watch or photos yet. The project will start when at least 100 persons committed to buying one. They will get it for 5,000 CHF. After the special edition of 100 numbered watches, the GMT-3 will be available for 15,000 CHF.

This mechanical watch tells the time, has a GMT hand, a day & night indicator, a date and…. something that triggered me to look again. A spherical Earth that rotates around it’s axis and it looks cool.
