Infiniti has unveiled the Limited Edition BR02-8 Infiniti Carbon Case Purple 8 Pro Dial wristwatch, engineered by Bell & Ross.

The watch is the second timepiece revealed by Infiniti, the first of which was the special edition BR03-92 Instrument Phantom model commemorating the arrival of the Infiniti FX Limited Edition.

The seconds hand and eighth digit sit on a matt black dial, featuring a photo-luminescent finish in the same purple used by Infiniti.

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.

As chairman of the Swatch group, Hayek cut a high profile in the world of Swiss watch-making and was one of the most well known Swiss business leaders.

In the 1980s, he transformed two Swiss watchmakers struggling to cope with Japanese competition into what would become Swatch, owning brands such as Breguet, Blancpain, Omega, Longines in addition to its eponymous Swatch line.

Hamilton aims to merge nostalgia for its American roots with the latest Swiss technology in the new Time Player watch.

Described as “latitude and longitude with attitude”, this hi-tech model is inspired by the geographic co-ordinates system based on lines of latitude and longitude.

The concept unites finger-operated timekeeping in four up-to-the-minute time zones with zany design belonging to the future, the company said.

Hamilton took inspiration from a design the company originally created for a clock in the Stanley Kubrick movie, ’2001: Space Odyssey’
