First launched in 2008, Horological Machine No2 revolutionized the world of haute horlogerie with its distinctive rectangular shape, flying buttresses, dual portholes and modular construction.

The crystal-clear sapphire case of HM2-SV then took the revolution even further by offering unprecedented visual access into the meticulously hand-finished, 349-component engine powering the indications on HM2′s iconic twin dials.

But all good things come to an end and, after three very successful years, Horological Machine No2 takes one last bow on center stage with two final limited editions.

2011 will be the year of the new IWC Portofino. The flagship of the new range will be the Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days (pictured above in steel).

The Hand-Wound Eight Days features a 8-day power reserve with indicator, seconds subdial, and a watch strap crafted by Italian Shoemaker Santoni.

Powered by an all new IWC manufacture movement, the 37.8mm 59210 calibre is a reminder of the days of classically dressed men and their pocket watches.

The new 2011 Piaget Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Ultra-Thin automatic watch holds the title of the thinnest self-winding timepiece with a tourbillon escapement.

The luxury watch is presented in a signature 46.5 mm wide and 10.4 mm thin cushion-shaped case made either of 18-carat rose or white gold.

You’ll have a chance to look at the whole line of watches this month at the Salon Internationale de la Haute Horlogerie 2011 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Related to a 160-year-old history, the watchmaker Marvin Malton has recently unveiled a limited edition of the 160 Cushion timekeeper.

The discerning cushion shaped case married with throughly designed dials is what makes each of these watches a reasonable option alongside established classics.

The watch houses a Sellita Swiss automtic caliber with a power reserve of 38 hours and comes in a variety of bracelet, strap, and dial options.

Galvanised by the ever-growing Titanic DNA shock wave, Romain Jerome has decided to enrich its collection with an explosive timepiece named Steampunk.

The watch is “steampunk” because it has little pistons, gears, and odd numerals on an otherwise bog-standard timepiece.

The Romain Jerome Steampunk watch will be limited to just 2,012 pieces with a price of12,500 Swiss Francs ($13,000).

2011 marks the 80th anniversary of the Reverso, and to celebrate, Jaeger-LeCoultre is launching a virtual online museum dedicated to the iconic reversible watch.

Since 1931, owners have made Reversos uniquely their own by having the protective caseback engraved.
