Here’s a sophisticated new watch from Hermes that will be hitting the market later this year- the Grand Arceau Moon Phase.

Known for its saddle/leather goods and uber-expensive silk ties and scarves, Hermes has really stepped up its watch game the past few years.

Available in black or silver dial, the Arceau Grande Lune watch is a complete calendar watch featuring day and month apertures.

A measure of any Asian businessman is the time he keeps and, far more importantly, the watch he wears to mark it.

A handshake can be soft or firm but will likely soon be followed by a glance to the wrist to see the watch wrapped around it, especially in China.

A heavy slab of gold could be a marker that the person is from an inland city. A more expensive, understated watch could be a sign that they’re from the coastal cities of Shanghai, Shenzhen or Beijing.

The PuristS’ family of horology websites is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2011. A number of watchmakers and brands will be issuing limited edition or piece unique watches to commemorate a decade of PuristS independence on the horological scene. The first PuristS 10th watch announced is the Chocolate Frog from MB&F.

The Chinese Timekeeper, Small Second Automatic, CTK04 offers an unprecedented jaw dropping alliance of stainless steel and blue PVD.

Proud of its Chinese roots the small second dial has more than one unique characteristic. Indeed its 5 o’clock position offers a great twist but it is the numerals in Traditional Chinese that truly underline its rarity.

The Chinese Timekeeper logo visible on the dial, crown and back case is the representation of a Chinese sage, walking on the rotating gear of a watch movement.

Following on from the Big Bang, King Power and Classic Fusion collections, Hublot is now presenting the fourth new line of watches, entitled Masterpiece.

Imagined, developed and manufactured entirely by the Confrerie Horlogere Hublot, the Master Piece MP-01 is the first Hublot barrel-shaped watch.

Featuring tonneau-shaped design, the movement is built on 43 jewels and comprises 384 parts.

The Omega Hour Vision Blue wristwatch is a special edition of the Hour Vision watch, part of Omega’s De Ville collection.

The beauty of the movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back as well as through sapphire glass apertures in the side of the watch case.

The Hour Vision Blue is also special because it is produced in support of ORBIS International’s fight against preventable blindness in developing countries.
