Watch Pulse

The Rolex Yacht-Master is the timepiece chosen by professionals who sail and race around the world. 

The masterminds at Rolex took much into consideration when designing this watch.  The complexity of the design, and ease of use, makes this watch the number one choice for those who need perfection in timekeeping and style.

Rolex Yacht-Master

The Rolex Yacht-Master is equipped with 4160 Movement.  This movement includes a countdown function that allows programming and resetting a countdown in the event of an inaccurate first setting. The Ring Command bezel works in conjunction with this movement, allowing time to be set and synchronized.   Protected by a Triplock winding crown, this brilliant triple-seal system protects the timepiece movement from the elements, and well as making it waterproof to 1,000 feet.  Once the Rolex patented Triplock crown is securely in place over the oyster case, the seal is as tight and secure as a submarine hatch!

Available in steel, platinum, or gold, the Yacht-Master is a perfect compliment for anyone who has the love of racing or precise timekeeping.

Corum American Bubble

Corum created the American Bubble, a special limited edition watch in 2002.  Only 500 of these watches were made, and they continue to be very hard to find.

Originally created with a patriotic theme, this timepiece was crafted to commemorate the fallen heroes and victims of the September 11^th tragedy.  When our nation was saddened and stunned by the 2001 terrorist attacks, Corum wanted to come forward to help the children of the fire fighters, police, and emergency volunteers who lost their lives.   A Children’s Relief Fund was created.  Corum donated $500 to this fund for every watch that was sold, raising $250,000.

The look of this watch is simple. A brilliant American Flag waves proudly in the center of the black dial, surrounded by gleaming stainless steel and luminescent hour markers.  Own a piece of history that commemorated a noble cause.  The Corum American Bubble is a timepiece that can be worn with honor, and silently states, ‘We Will Never Forget’.

In the fall of 2010 Bell & Ross will step back in time with the reveal of a new timepiece collection.  Inspired by the 1940’s, the Vintage Heritage collection was created to pay homage to the military-particularly the brave pilots of that era who were the first to use the watch as a tool to help them carry out their missions. 

Heritage BR01-92

Bell & Ross created a style that is simple and timeless, combining inspiration from the cockpit instrument panels and a classic, authentic look of a vintage timepiece.  Two movements will be available-the BR123 will feature hours, minutes and seconds, and the BR126 will be a chronograph.  Both are coated in an anti glare black matte carbon finish and feature a natural leather strap reminiscent of watches of old that will develop a fine patina over time. 

Keep your eyes open for the rebirth of these classic and functional timepieces that will be hitting stores soon!
