BREITLING Chronomat 44 MOP 'BlackEyed' [Japan LE]



By TLex Here's another Japan domestic market only limited edition BREITLING. Like the Superocean Chrono BLACK LE that I posted yesterday, this too will have part of its revenue sent to help fund the Japanese Red Cross with their efforts reconstructing the East coast of Japan after the devastating Sendai earthquake and Tsunamis.



The Chronomat 44 MOP was fully developed in-house by BREITLING. It houses their Manufacture chronograph movement, the Cal.01. The Japanese-only design with its beautiful MOP (mother of pearl) dial and blue MOP sub-dial combination is a Limited Edition of 300 numbered pieces . . .

CAR FEATURE RAUH WELT NATTY DREAD



Speedhunters

We are all great admirers of Nakai-san and Rauh Welt here at Speedhunters. The cars that have rolled out of this small countryside body-shop in Chiba-ken have pretty much all assumed cult status. Nakai's creations are all about raw style, a vision into what he thinks a Porsche should look, sound and even smell like! There are no compromises here, the cars that bare the Rauh Welt touch have been built for one simple thing, driving. I though it would be cool to take a nice and detailed look into...

BREITLING Superocean Chrono BLACK [Japan LE]

By TLex BREITLING Japan, who release special edition watches for their fans annually have this year released a special 400 piece edition of their Superocean Chrono. BREITLING Japan will be donating a portion of the revenue from each of the special edition Superocean BLACK models to help fund the Japanese Red Cross contribute towards the enormous costs of the reconstruction of the East coast of Japan that suffered such devastation from the Sendai earthquake.















JeanRichard DIVERSCOPE & Franck Cammas (partnership)

C R E A T I V E C R A F T S M A N S H I P S I N C E 1 6 8 1

From JR The sailor’s record of achievements is impressive : 6 ORMA multihull world championship titles, three-times winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre trans-Atlantic race, holder of the Jules Verne Trophy and winner of the Route du Rhum 2010. In his next challenge he will take the helm of Groupama 4 looking to win the Volvo Ocean Race. A desire to set oneself new challenges, perfectionism, precision... great stories often begin with shared passions. The partnership between Franck Cammas and JEANRICHARD is no exception.

The skipper will wear a Diverscope JEANRICHARD, a model with a robust character, during his upcoming challenges, including the Volvo Ocean Race which starts in Alicante, Spain on the 5th November. In addition to its sporty, innovative design, the Diverscope has all the technical qualities necessary to withstand several months of extreme conditions on the wrist of the skipper as he crosses the world's oceans : impacts, moisture, salt, temperature variations and exposure to UV rays.



In line with the Brand’s uncompromising philosophy, the model was developed in its own Research and Development department and carefully tested in its laboratory under the very strictest conditions. It is equipped with the powerful automatic calibre JR1000, produced by the JEANRICHARD Manufacture.

Its case, which is water resistant to 300 metres, required the use of cutting-edge technology. It is made from steel coated with extra-resistant rubber. Each component was adapted for use in extreme conditions, for example the screw-down crowns or the sapphire crystal, which is two-and-a-half times thicker than that of a standard watch. The luminescent hands and indicators on the dial also ensure optimal readability in murky conditions. New adventures ahead for the Diverscope JEANRICHARD watch worn by the skipper Franc k Cammas ...

« Franck Cammas won us over with his commitment and human values. Our professions are demanding; both sailing and Haute Horlogerie are domains that require rigourous tests, experience and accomplishment. Nothing is left to chance », remarked Massimo Macaluso, CEO of JEANRICHARD.

« This partnership with JEANRICHARD is based on a shared approach inspired by passion and perfectionism », added Franck Cammas.
