Building on their successful pilot’s collection Zenith released two new editions of the popular Pilot Montre d’Aéronef Type 20 timepiece this year at Baselworld, both with added GMT functionality. One of the models in particular really stood out for me, the 500-piece limited edition Pilot Montre d’Aéronef Type 20 GMT Red Baron.

All eyes were on Harry Winston this year at Baselworld as industry observers and punters alike tried to gauge what, if anything, the impact would be of the acquisition by the Swatch Group announced earlier this year. Naturally I too was curious, plus Harry Winston make some pretty incredible timepieces, so I made sure to get myself along for an appointment. Needless to say I was not disappointed, and really how could you be when you have something like the incredible Ocean Tourbillon Jumping Hour strapped to your wrist?
Following up on the special edition RM 028 Orange Flash we told you about last week, today we are checking out another newly announced limited edition Richard Mille timepiece; the distinct RM 021 tourbillon “Aerodyne” or RM 021 Carbon for short.
Orange is apparently this season’s ‘hot’ color (at least according to some article I read in GQ) and it seems even exclusive luxury watch manufacturer Richard Mille is keen to get in on the act. The Brand recently announced a new collection of Limited Edition timepieces including, you guessed it, the Richard Mille RM 028 Orange Flash.

Do you know what I really like about Hautlence? It’s not the unusual displays with jumping hours and retrograde minutes, or the unique TV shaped cases or even the incredible complexity of the HL 2.0, although all those things are definitely praiseworthy in their own right. No, what I really like about Hautlence is the fact that they listen, to their retailers, to the market and of course most importantly, to their customers. Now that may seem like a strange observation to make on a watch blog but in an industry dominated by one-way communication, it really makes them stand out in my eyes.
