Zenith DEFY 21 Felipe Pantone
Watchmaker Zenith collaborated with Argentinian-Spanish contemporary artist Felipe Pantone to bring to the market the DEFY 21 Felipe Pantone.
Pantone has reimagined Zenith’s most advanced chronograph to date and created an object that is both a feat of watchmaking engineering as well as a piece of wearable kinetic art. This strikingly colourful timepiece, limited to 100 pieces, is all about playing with frequencies — visually and mechanically.
With its 1/100th of a second El Primero 21 chronograph movement beating at a frequency of 360,000 vibrations per hour for unrivalled precision, the DEFY 21 is the choice of canvas for Pantone to express his “visible spectrum concept”, where all the frequencies of light and its refracted colours come into play with the highest-frequency chronograph in production.
Blancpain Tribute to Fifty Fathoms No Rad
Blancpain reinterprets one of its emblematic historical timepieces, the Fifty Fathoms “no radiations”. This mid-1960s diving instrument, of which one version was used by the German Navy’s combat swimmers, had the characteristic feature of being stamped with a yellow and red “no radiations” logo indicating that Blancpain was not using luminescent materials composed of radium.
Limited to only 500 pieces, the Tribute to Fifty Fathoms No Rad features a matt deep black dial punctuated by geometrical hour-markers, combining traditional round dots as well as rectangles and a diamond-shaped mark at 12 o’clock. The chapter ring, the hands and the time scale on the bezel all feature the beige-orange hue of vintage indicators bearing the patina of time. The unidirectional rotating bezel, featuring a graduation typical of the initial Fifty Fathoms models, is fitted with a sapphire insert, a distinctive feature of the contemporary collection.
Sinn U1 DS
Limited to only 500 pieces, what stands out the most about the U1 DS diving watch by Sinn is its dial that features an irregular decorative pattern.
As a result, every watch is a unique piece with the impression achieved on the dial during the machining process never to be repeated. The design still allows for perfect readability — thanks to the striking form and minimalist display.
Alongside these optical characteristics, the watch also boasts high-quality technical features. The case and crown are made of high-strength seawater-resistant German submarine steel, which enjoys outstanding non-magnetic properties. The surface of the case and the captive diver’s bezel with minute ratcheting have also been hardened with Tegiment Technology, leaving them especially scratch-resistant.
