Moonphase Watches Fit For an Eclipse

Posted on August 17, 2017 by Make Technology

Our Favorite Moonphase Timepieces in Honor of the Upcoming 2017 Solar Eclipse

For the first time in nearly 100 years, a total solar eclipse will pass directly over Nashville, leaving the city in total darkness in the middle of the day. In light of the upcoming solar eclipse, here are our favorite moonphase watches, available now at King Jewelers.

IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph

The only watch on our list made of stainless steel, the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph actually offers the most complications out of the watches on our list. It features a chronograph function, perpetual calendar with displays for date, day, month, year in four digits, and perpetual moonphase, and a flyback function. The Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is available for $29,900 USD. Please contact a sales associate in our Nashville location for availability and additional information.

Jaeger-LeCoultre 18K Pink Gold Master Calendar

Jaeger-LeCoultre is universally acknowledged for turning watchmaking into an art form. Their Pink Gold Master Calendar is both sophisticated and timeless. It features a day of the week, date, month, and moonphase display. This watch is currently available in our Nashville salon for $21,300 USD, and is also available in a more economical (but equally stylish) steel version with a genuine meteorite dial.

Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Moonphase King Gold

For a watch that’s sure to make a bold statement, look no further than the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Moonphase King Gold. This is the only timepiece on our list to feature a skeleton dial, which allows you to see the inner workings of the timepiece. Contact our Nashville salon to learn more.

Cartier 18K Pink Gold Drive de Cartier Moonphases

Cartier is classic, but the new Drive de Cartier’s cushion-shaped case sets it apart from other the watches in the group. The Drive provides the cleanest dial, with the moonphase on full display as the only added function. The Drive de Cartier Moonphases is available now in our Nashville salon for $19,500 USD.

Breguet Hora Mundi

Make no mistake, the Platinum Breguet Hora Mundi is designed with the discerning watch connoisseur in mind. The gold dial depicts North and South America, hand-engraved on a rose engine with “wave” motif coated with translucent lacquer. Contact our Aventura, FL location for availability and pricing.

Louis Moinet Partners with Wealth Solutions to Create Limited Edition Whisky Watch- First Unveiled at 2017 Singapore Yacht Show

Whisky fanatics rejoice! Louis Moinet has once again created a stunning watch that redefines everything we think we know about haute horology. After the success of the previous Rum Watch and Cognac Watch from the Spirit Watches Line, Wealth Solutions turned to Louis Moinet to create the limited edition Whisky Watch, a timepiece containing a drop of the oldest whisky in the world.

Louis Moinet Stainless Steel Whisky Watch — The Louis Moinet Whisky Watch is limited to 40 pieces in Stainless Steel

Louis Moinet, inventor of the chronograph, outfitted the Whisky Watch with the LM45 automatic movement. The frequency of the balance is 28,800 vph (4Hz) and the movement contains 22 jewels. The watch is a limited edition with just 50 pieces being produced.

Louis Moinet 18K Rose Gold Whisky Watch — The Louis Moinet Whisky Watch is limited to just 10 pieces worldwide in 18K Rose Gold

Ten watches will be available with an 18K rose gold case and 40 watches will be available with a stainless steel case. The Whisky Watch features a three level dial with applied open-work hour-markers and an exclusive whisky capsule at the 3 o’clock position.

The unique whisky capsule contains a drop of the oldest whisky in the world, Old Vatted Glenlivit 1862. Sukhinder Singh, a noted collector of rare alcohol, donated one bottle of Old Vatted Glenlivit 1862 specifically for this purpose, and the bottle was opened in a ceremony in Poland last month. You can watch the above video to see the bottle opening ceremony for yourself!
It was fitting to reveal this extremely luxurious timepiece at the Singapore Yacht Show, which caters to connoisseurs of yachts, supercars, and more.
King Jewelers is proud to offer exceptional Louis Moinet timepieces in their Aventura, FL location. Contact the store at (305) 935-4900 to schedule an appointment to view these luxurious timepieces.

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay 41

At Baselworld 2017, TUDOR builds off the popularity of their newly released 36mm unisex Black Bay model by offering the same slimmer case and simpler design by offering the same aesthetic in a larger 41mm mode. This version of the Black Bay should appeal to the more business-orientated man, and at just $2,950 it makes the perfect graduation gift.

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay S&G

To appeal to a wider audience, TUDOR is now offering their classic Black Bay in a steel and gold (hence, S&G) variation. The new S&G model also features a date window at the 3 o’clock position, another new feature for the Black Bay. The Black Bay S&G will be available on a two-tone bracelet ($4,975), as shown in the image above, or on an aged black leather strap ($3,775).

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay Steel

The final new introduction in the Black Bay lineup unveiled at Baselworld 2017 is the Black Bay Steel, an all-steel version with a brushed steel bezel. Like the S&G model, this Black Bay also comes equipped with a new date display window at the 3 o’clock position. It will be available either on a steel bracelet ($3,800) or a distressed black leather strap ($3,475) and each variation comes with an additional green fabric strap, shown in the above photo.

The smooth contrast between the extremely dark onyx and the steel case and appliques works in harmony to give this timepiece a sleek and masculine feel.

This mesmerizing watch is powered by an automatic Jaquet Droz 6553L2 calibre movement that is double barreled with 26 jewels.

Chopard Introduces Limited Edition Watches for US

Posted on December 7, 2016 by Make Technology

Grand Prix de Monaco Historique and Happy Sport are reimagined for US-exclusive series

Right in time for the holidays, Swiss jeweler and watchmaker Chopard introduces US limited-edition models of two of its most iconic watch collections: the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique for men and the Happy Sport for women. Both epitomize the creativity, craftsmanship and extraordinary design for which Chopard is known.
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chrono was first created in 2004 in honor of the world-renowned racing event for which Chopard has served as sponsor and official timekeeper since 2002. Like the original, the new US limited-edition model, inspired by the power of a V12 car engine, embodies Chopard’s passion for racing as well as its demanding horological standards.

The limited-edition Chrono 44.5mm is available in two numbered series. One hundred pieces crafted in titanium and stainless steel have an ultra-functional mechanical sportiness, while 25 pieces in 18k rose gold are a dressier interpretation. Both versions have blue dials and come with two straps: a blue alligator strap with red stitching and a blue NATO strap with racing stripes. Presented in an exclusive gift box, this sleek, powerful and noble instrument is the driver’s watch par excellence.
For women, Chopard releases a limited-edition collection of Happy Sport 36mm, the precious yet resolutely sporty design first introduced in 1993, with diamonds that move freely between two sapphire crystals. The latest iteration is available in two numbered series: one hundred pieces crafted in stainless steel and 25 fashioned from 18k rose gold. Both versions have bracelet straps, diamond bezels and blue mother-of-pearl dials, and each comes with two additional alligator straps in blue and white for added versatility. The timepieces are presented in an exclusive gift box, the perfect holiday gift for the woman who appreciates joyful, modern design.

The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique Chrono and Happy Sport timepieces in stainless steel are available at authorized Chopard retailers. The 18k gold versions of each collection can be found exclusively at Chopard boutiques in the United States.
