In this issue:

ACCELERATED PULSE - By Jens Koch | TAG Heuer celebrates the 60th anniversaries of the Carrera and the Porsche 911 by introducing a new model with a unique chronograph complication — an accelerated elapsedseconds hand that makes it easier to read sprint times.

“THE CHRONOSPRINT IS HYPNOTIZING” - By Daniela Pusch | We met Patrick Dempsey at the launch of the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche and talked with him about the watch’s design, its movement and the legacy of the
Porsche 911.

FROM A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW - By Martina Richter | After celebrating the DiaStar’s 60th anniversary last year, Rado is presenting a skeletonized version of the renowned timepiece. We look deep inside the distinctively styled DiaStar Original Skeleton.

MIRROR OF CIVILIZATIONS : By Roger Ruegger | With the new Tonda PF Xiali Calendar, Parmigiani Fleurier celebrates the Chinese New Year with a world premiere: a Chinese complete calendar covering a period of 12 years

LIVING THE HIGH LIFE: By Martina Richter | Three new chronograph models have been added to the Frederique Constant Highlife series, which features an engraved globe on the dial and a special connection between case and wristband. We tested the classic model with a
stainless-steel case.

FASTER, FASTEST - By Jens Koch | Zenith built the El Primero, the world’s most accurate chronograph, in 1969. But now the manufacture has increased its beat frequency from 1/10th to 1/100th of a second. We look at what the fastest mechanical watch can do.


SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL - By Martina Richter | With its classic round case, clean lines,tidy dial and distinctive clous de Paris bezel, the Calatrava is a flagship of the Geneva-based Patek Philippe manufacture. The latest model, with the famous guilloché finish, returns this decorative pattern to the limelight.

WatchTime Magazine November/December 2021

Cover feature spotlighting the newest additions to Bulgari’s record-breaking Octo Finissimo range; a journey through Longines’ history of making timepieces for pioneering aviators; a comprehensive review of TAG Heuer’s recently released Carrera Sport Chronograph; an in-depth exploration of Porsche Design’s evolution into a full-fledged watch manufacture; and more.

GENTLEMAN SAILOR : By Alexander Krupp | IWC launched the Portugieser Yacht Club 10 years ago into the sporty yet elegant world of sailing. For 2020, the nautical chronograph model has a classic look and a steel.

STOP AND GO : By Martina Richter | A split-seconds chronograph is a rather rare complication. Sinn offers the 910 Anniversary model at a reasonable price. We tested this retro stopwatch with contemporary features...

AN EVERYDAY WATCH WITH AMBITIONS
By Alexander Krupp | The divers’ watch in Wempe’s new Iron Walker line feels perfectly at home in the water, but it performs even better as a sporty and elegant companion in daily life.

COMPRESSION OBSESSION
By Mark Bernardo | Christopher Ward revives a classic dive watch design with the C65 Super Compressor.

CIRCLES OF TIME
By Martina Richter | Fifteen years after its introduction, the Lange 1 Time Zone has now been equipped with a new manufacture caliber. The time in two different time zones can be read intuitively from the dial. But this watch offers much more, as we can confirm after scrutinizing one we were able to preview.

BRONZE AGE
By Martina Richter | Following the current trend, Oris has encased its design icon, the Big Crown Pointer Date, in warm bronze — not only the case, but the bezel, the namesake big crown and even the dial. We tested the watch in real life situations.

WONDERS IN CYBERSPACE : When the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) decided to postpone the 2020 edition of Watches & Wonders in Geneva, the organization didn’t waste any time coming up with a new
strategy. In just two months, the team set up a new digital
platform where novelties of the 30 participating maisons premiered on April 25. We present a summary...
