[ via Glash��tte Original ]Glash��tte Original recently introduced their new Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar at Basel. This model offers a calendar display that displays day, date, month, moonphases and leap year, automatically adjusting itself for the varied length of months. The 42mm case is made of stainless steel with a brushed finish and polished accents. The bezel is printed with paired reference world cities. Day and month are shown in the upper two windows, while the lower dial showcases the moonphase indicator and the sophisticated Glash��tte Original Panorama date display; the leap year cycle is shown via a colored segment in the small circular window below the Glash��tte Original logo. Three correctors on the left side of the watch control the correction of the calendar functions. Overall the red accents combined with the black dial and stainless steel case create a very sporty and elegant look. There are three strap options; rubber, synthetic (shown), and stainless steel. Glasshutte is a manufacture, so there is no need to outsource the movement. The Sport Evolution Perpetual Calendar utilizes a highly accurate GO 39-57 movement, made entirely in-house.

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has used his recent shocking mugging to his advantage by partnering with Hublot for a new advertising campaign.Mr Ecclestone was attacked by thieves who were reportedly after his Hublot Big Bang King Power timepiece, but the racing mogul fought back to maintain his watch, to the expense of some serious facial bruises.However, anyone who picked up a copy of the Financial Times or International Herald Tribune may have noticed a Hublot promotion which features a battered Mr Ecclestone dominating the top half of the advert.Below the Formula One boss is a picture of an appealing timepiece from the manufacture and the quote of "See what some people will do for a Hublot".Jean-Claude Biver, chief executive of Hublot, told The Watch Lounge: "It's our mission to stand up against hatred, racism, cowardice and violence ... in my opinion, we can't make and sell quality and prestige without denouncing such wild behaviour."Hublot is no stranger to the racing world, having recently revealed two King Power watches, both honouring what would have been the 50th birthday of Formula One legend Ayrton Senna, Watch Luxus reported.
