Zenith Chronomaster El Primero

The Zenith brand was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot.  At the young age of 22, Georges Favre-Jacot had a brilliant vision of bringing all artisan watchmakers together, to work under the same roof and dedicate their time entirely to creating timepieces.   His company grew quickly and by 1875 he employed over 1,000 people.  He became the first watch making manufacturer of his time, thus changing the future of the watch industry forever. 

Zenith is one of the few Swiss watch companies that still manufacture their own components and mechanical movements from start to finish-and they do it in the same location they have been for the past 145 years.  Zenith has established a reputation for mechanical excellence and precision, which has won them over 1,500 First Place industry awards to date. 

Presently the luxury of Zenith watches extends to four collections, Academy, El Primero, Elite, and the Ladies collection.  All collections are instruments that exude excellence, performance and style.

There are many considerations to make when purchasing a new Rolex watch.  From deciding on the style to selecting the elements that create the timepiece, a great deal of decision making is required.

After the perfect Rolex watch is finally selected, you must then find a reputable dealer.  There are many shops and vendors that provide excellent deals.   Many non-authorized dealers are highly reputable and can provide the same high quality service as an authorized Rolex dealer.  When purchasing a Rolex timepiece from any dealer it is still important to inspect the watch to ensure its authenticity. Many authorized dealers can make their watches available to view in their showroom, as can the most reputable non-authorized dealers who primarily sell watches online.  Both specialize in superior customer service and credible testimonials from satisfied customers.  Why not have peace of mind and the assurance that your timepiece is authentic and guaranteed by purchasing from a reputable Rolex dealer?

For some, this is a purchase of a lifetime.  For others, it is a purchase to show a loved one how much you care by giving one of the best in luxury watches.  Trust your timeless treasure with a reputable watch dealer.

Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin began their partnership in 2004 with the launch of their first timepiece.  Inspired by the precision engineering of the fine Aston Martin automobile, all of the watches in this collection continue to be highly regarded and sought after.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Aston Martin AMVOX2

Taking a closer look at one of the timepieces in the collection, the AMVOX2 Chronograph must be one of the most complex timepieces in the world.  Complete with the legendary Aston Martin wings, and developed and constructed by Jaeger-LeCoultre, this remarkable timepiece boasts a composition of over 100 components consisting of mechanical levers that are clearly visible through the lower dial opening.  These levers allow the chronograph to be reset, started, and stopped all with the push of the sapphire crystal.

The mix of a satin-brushed, matte, and polished finish adds contrast against the luminescent numerals on the face of the watch creating the atmosphere of an evening drive.   The back of the case features a beautiful engraving of both the Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin logos.  The crown of this timepiece even resembles the fuel cap of the Aston Martin!

Available in Grade 5 titanium or distinctive pink gold, production of both timepieces is limited.

The Rolex Milgauss is considered to be the timepiece for those who have a passion for the world of science and discovery.  The European Council for Nuclear Research was the first scientific laboratory to confirm that this incredible timepiece is able to resist magnetic fields of up to 1,000 Gauss.

Rolex Milgauss

Aptly named from the French word “mille” meaning thousand, and Gauss, a magnetic field measurement, the Rolex Milgauss is a beauty.  The face of this watch features clean straight lines, and an orange lightning bolt shaped seconds hand.  The green colored sapphire crystal adds a subtle green hue around the dial, making this timepiece very recognizable. 

The heart of the resistance to the magnetic interferences is the shield that protects the movement of the watch.  The shield is made of ferromagnetic alloys-one fastened to the movement, and the other to the Oyster case.  However, what is not visible to the wearer is the symbol for magnetic flux density, a capital letter B with an arrow, which is secretly engraved in this fantastic magnetic shield.  Only certified Rolex watchmakers will see that symbol, neatly engraved in the watch.
