JeanRichard Titanium Diverscope 300M DiverThe new JeanRichard Titanium Diverscope automatic diving watch was announced about three months ago, but was officially presented only last week at SIHH 2011 trade show.Like the rest of the gang, the watch is presented in a cushion-shaped case with a pair of screw-in crowns at the left and right side: the former operates the internal bi-directional rotating bezel, and the latter is for winding, as well as for setting time and date.The timepiece is, however, slightly smaller than some other JeanRichard watches that are powered by the same in-house JR1000 automatic movement.Its sandblasted titanium case is only 43 x 43 millimeters wide and high, which makes the watch more suitable for casual wearing.Make no mistake though, with a water resistance rating of impressive 300 meters, this is a real tool watch for hard-core divers. If used together with an electronic diving computer, it will serve you well and will certainly justify the price, which is going to be high.

Richard Mille RM 010 Boutique SpecialThe new Richard Mille RM 010 Boutique Special automatic watch is issued in a super-limited edition of 10 pieces and is reserved exclusively for RM`s boutique located at the famous Place Vendome square in Paris.According to the Swiss watchmaker, the openworked timepiece is equipped with the RM 010 automatic movement, which is in fact a skeletonized version of their earlier RM 005 caliber.The little engine is known for its unusual oscillating weight that features “most optimal winding.”The watch features Richard Mille’s signature tonneau-shaped case, which is delivered in a matt black DLC coating.The diamond-like hard treatment makes the watch more resistant to occasional scratches.It must be noted that the case, which measures 48.00 mm in height, 39.30 mm in width, and is 13.84 mm thick is rather bulky and may look awkward on a smaller-sized wrist.As you can see on the picture, the Richard Mille RM 010 Boutique Special features a skeletonized dial with white dial ring and 12 Arabic numerals engraved right on the front sapphire crystal.
