Defined by excellence when it comes to design and competence when it comes to technical artistry, Ebel is a brand of watch manufacturing which has imposed its vision of progressive watch manufacturing in this over-competing industry. By proposing interesting new models every year, Ebel has assured its place as a well-reputed provider of fine watches that are statements of refinement and elegance. The Beluga Tonneau Collection for the ladies is definitely amongst the star-collections of this brand, featuring two models of extreme beauty: the new Beluga Tonneau Lady Watch and the new Beluga Tonneau Grande Watch. Both these models display only the best features of design, while focusing on the same time on aspects such as functionality and reliability. The Ebel brand exists on the market of watch manufacturing ever since 1911 due to the dedicated passion of its two founding fathers, Eugene Blum and Auce Levy, who set up this company and believed in its future success. The style introduced by Ebel is feminine and elegant, it screams refinement and delicacy and all the timepieces released under the trademark of Beluga Collection are definitely amazingly sophisticated watches that can impress the eyes of any woman. The new Beluga Tonneau Lady Watch features a case measuring 26.80 mm in diameter and can be crafted either from 18 K pink gold or from stainless steel. The case has 44 diamonds applied on its lateral sides and is covered with sapphire crystal on both sides. The Quartz movement equipping this watch is therefore seen through the transparent case back of the case. The construction of the case was designed to assure 5 ATM of water-resistance so, in case the ladies fancy some diving activities, this watch can cope under any situation. The white mother-of-pearl dial is equipped with 13 diamonds to mark the hour markers and displays hands that indicate the functions of hours and minutes. The elegant bracelet equipping the watch is made from the same material as the case and it's crafted from interconnected links.On the other hand we have the new Beluga Tonneau Grande Watch that provides a slightly bigger appearance due to the size of its case measuring 31.40 mm in diameter. The case is crafted from stainless steel and comes adorned not with 44 diamonds, but with 48, diamonds that offer extreme brilliance and seductive appeal to its design. The dial of the new Beluga Tonneau Grande Watch is white and makes use of diamond adornments, 13 in total, applied as hour markers, one by one, while the 12 o'clock position is marked by 2 diamonds. The only functions this watch is displaying are those of hours and minutes through central hands made from stainless steel that start from the center. Definitely a classy timepiece, the new Beluga Tonneau Grande Watch comes equipped by a stainless steel bracelet that discreetly embraces the wrist. The new Beluga Tonneau Lady Watch and the Beluga Tonneau Grande Watch can most surely bring the smile on any woman's face and the fact that the name of Ebel comes with them, can only add to their value.

[ via Ebel ]For lovers of contemporary architecture and devotees of mechanical watch*** - including many who are proud to be both - Ebel introduces a stunningly inspired pink gold version of its 1911 BTR Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, issued in an exclusive limited edition of 200.This spectacular face of this new landmark creation is strongly reminiscent of contemporary architectural achievements such as modern art museums with their large bay windows amid a metal frame creating an alternating pattern of glass and steel. The play on perspective as well as the clever lighting and volume effects all vividly evoke a contemporary work of architecture, while the elegantly understated and subtly contrasting choice of colors inexorably draws the gaze to the intricate workings of the watch mechanism below. The ultimate goal of such sophisticated structures being to highlight the objets d'art inside, it comes as no surprise to learn that the movement inside the alternating slate grey and black openworked dial is fully worthy of such a spectacular stage-setting.Clearly the most elaborate and prestigious of all Ebel proprietary movements, the Caliber 288 boats no less than 436 parts and a double COSC certification conferred before and after assembly of the perpetual calendar module. Caliber 288 steadily and reliably counts off the day of the week, the date, the month, the years, and the ever-poetic phases of the moon appearing on an exceptionally accurate astronomical display. This exceptional movement can also be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case-back, providing an excellent view of the Architects of Time "compass" oscillating weight, a signature of Ebel proprietary calibers.Despite providing such a vast amount of information, this quintessentially architectural timepiece is exceptionally readable thanks to its four sapphire crystal counters sporting a metallic matt appearance that undeniably enhances their legibility. 12 white Superluminova hour-markers stand out clearly against the dial rim, while the gold-plated diamond-polished skeleton hour and minute hands accentuate the sense of transparency prevailing throughout.This glowing tribute to contemporary architecture exudes all the decidedly masculine and characteristic appeal of the 1911 BTR line launched in 2006, The dynamic and sophisticated edge to the iconic hexagonal 1911 case is eloquently conveyed through the generous dimensions of the 44.5 mm case framing a 32 mm dial opening, as well as the broader and more expressive bezel secured by 5 powerful screws. Fitted with an alligator leather strap featuring hand-sewn overstitching, this impressive stylistic exercise captures the essence of modern architecture by enshrining the infinitely large within the diminutive boundaries of a watch - a truly monumental accomplishment!Technical Specifications: MovementEbel Caliber 288CaseMaterial: 18K-750 4N pink goldDiameter: 44.5mmThickness : 14.3mmFinishing: alternating brushed/polished Water-resistance: 10 atmCrystal: sapphire with anti-reflective treatment on both sides for perfect readabilityDials and handsAlternated slate grey and black openworked dialMatt metallic-coated sapphire crystal counters 12 white SuperLuminova hour-markers Diamond-polished skeleton hands (gold-plated)StrapHand-stitched black alligator leather strapEbel folding clasp in 18K-750 4N pink goldMSRP $59,000You might be interested in this $27, 500
