Musical refinement

Musical refinement
Oris remembers the musical talent of Chet Baker with a limited-edition watch that delivers an aura of sophistication and typical Oris refinement with a musical twist.
The Chet Baker Limited Edition features a stainless-steel case, the back of which features a beautifully engraved silhouette of Baker with his trumpet.
The number of watches made is 1,929, matching Baker’s birth year, 1929.
The crisp black dial provides a smooth backdrop for the hour indexes, which are bars from Baker’s signature tune “My Funny Valentine”.
See it for yourself at Oris counters in select department stores. Call (02) 677 4500.

Flying with Premiere
On the 25th anniversary of its first watch the Premiere, Chanel offers women the opportunity to enter into the world of high mechanical complication with a flying Tourbillon.
Maintaining the perfectly balanced proportions of the original Premiere, inspired by the bottle stopper of Chanel No 5 perfume, the case, bezel and crown are set with baguette-cut diamonds or Mozambique rubies and a rose-cut gem for the crown.
It keeps ticking thanks to a 40-hour power reserve.

Swinging back and forth
Breitling, a Swiss watch company that is famous for combining two passions – chronographs and aeronautics – is offering a limited-edition Navitimer model to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the timepiece retailer Pendulum.
The Navitimer 01 Thailand Limited Edition comes with a transparent case back, which provides clear views of the high-performance “motor”.
It’s specially engraved with “Thailand Edition” on the case back. It’s a collector’s item, with just 20 steel and only five red-gold watches made.
The case features a diameter slightly broader than that of the regular Navitimer and an exclusive bronze dial with applied hourmarkers.
You can try one on at Pendulum branches in Gaysorn, the Emporium and Siam Paragon as well as the watch departments in Central department stores.
