Breguet White Watches

In today's Haute Horology, Breguet holds, ever since 1775 a very special place as the standard-setter for all the fine watch-*** brands worldwide, and if others have to dig deep in their past in order to write about their history, Breguet has always been identified as the icon of European watch-*** art and culture, and also as the brand that has created, throughout the years, some of the most important horologic treasures in history, thus earning an impressive pedigree, the envy of the entire watch-*** branch. Remaining fateful to the historical principles that throughout centuries have validated Breguet as the pinnacle of Haute Horology, this brand gracefully manages to preserve its never-fading cultural heritage and to create masterpieces of craftsmanship rooted in the past but always sophisticated and modern.Breguet Tradition Handwound Watch is another classy and elegant timepiece which reaffirms the Breguet' supremacy when it comes to creating luxurious and innovative timepieces.Crafted from 18 karat white gold, both present in the case and bezel, matched with a stylish alligator strap the watch is an irresistible item desired by all the Breguet enthusiast connoisseurs. Its skeleton dial reveals the complex mechanism and the tourbillon; the time-display is reduced to a small chapter ring with roman numerals positioned at 12 o'clock, while the second counter is positioned at 10 o'clock. A unique and emblematic model in the history of watch-***, Tradition 7027 is now available in two versions- the 507-DR caliber which entirely reveals the watch's movement, constructed on either side of the main-plate although especially on the plate's front. A subtle contrast is made by the pink-gold case and the anthracite-gray hand-wound mechanical movement which highlights the timepiece's bars and bridges, and particularly its escapement especially fitted with the old-style “pare-chute” in the Breguet well known hand-beveled steel. The movement has received an innovative electroplating technique, which gives it a grey-anthracite su***ce. Breguet uses for this watch a precious metals alloy- platinum family, which confers it a darker hue, compared with the ruthenium traditionally employed by other watchmakers. An elegant and contemporary timepiece, both available in pink-gold case and dial, and pink-gold bridges, bars and main-plate, but also in white-gold case with anthracite movement, Breguet Tradition Handwound Watch, will always be a fascinating item of supreme beauty and timeless elegance, designed to confer a special individuality to any outfit, and sure enough its price range ($20,000 �C $25,000) is exclusivist but faire.

Swatch Group Record Half-YearSaturday, September 22nd, 2007  If the Swiss watch industry witnessed a surge in its exports from the beginning of January to the extremity of June (+15.5% to 7.2 billion francs), the Swatch party did even better with an increase in yield change of 16.7% to 2.74 billion! Despite problems of production capacity which it has faced for some time, the Swatch Group posted a account first half-year in 2007 with two-digit increases in turnover (+16.7% to 2.74 billion francs), operating profit (+27.1% to 511 million) and net profit (+39.4% to 460 million). The engine of aggrandizement par excellence was the key sector of watches and jewellery, which includes 18 brands covering all expenditure categories. It further demonstrated its significance to the Biel based group with sales well above the two billion franc mark (2.11 billion, +20.0%) and an operating profit of 353 million (+20.9%). Once again the best performance was recorded by the luxury sector (Breguet, Blancpain and Omega), however other price categories, headed by Longines and Tissot, also registered results of the highest quality, as did the Swatch brand, which posted growth in double figures. The group?s success is attributable to all geographical regions, even though Asia, America and Europe are comfortably ahead of the field. The only downside is Japan, where business remained enduring due to the hard economic situation and the weakness of the yen. The opening of the N. G. Hayek Center in Tokyo at the end of May gave a new boost to this market however. The production of watches, movements and components, another important sector, recorded even better results: turnover up by 23.7% to 857 million francs and operating profit up by 87.7% to 122 million. Deliveries to group companies rose to 523 million (+32%) and those to third parties totalled 334 million (+12%). These record results prove that the group has managed to overcome certain problems of production capacity even though, as the group itself acknowledges, ?some companies continue to face delays in delivery at particular stages of production, singularly in terms of movements, hands and dials?. latest - and for once least - the electronic systems segment stalled during the first half of 2007, with sales up by a modest 2.7% to 306 million and an operating profit down by -16.1% to 47 million. The fault lies with mobile phones and the current trend towards ever cheaper models. Based on these results, its solid portfolio of brands and its excellent position on the market, supported by a robust industrial fabric, the Swatch Group expressed keen optimism with regard to the rest of the year and has very ambitious expectations, not least because turnover registered in July and first estimates for August point to rates of growth on a par with the first half-year. The chances of another record year therefore look very good indeed! | Posted in Articles, News, Swatch, jewelry finance, swatch group | | Comments Off Watch Makers are in Search of the Alternative Source of EnergyThursday, September 13th, 2007Watch Makers are in Search of the preference Source of Energy Septemexistr 12, 2007The companies Swatch Group and Group E option create a collection to search for and research an animation friendly to the environment.furthermore electro energy, the companies device to invent a few devices for automotive industry.The newly created company will explore a fuel on the core of hydrogen and batteries for electric engines.
