No other watch runs longer: The new manually wound A. Lange & Söhne timepiece has a power 
reserve of one month. That is why it has been named the Lange 31. Another innovation, a constant-force escapement, assures that power delivery is uniform throughout the entire 31-day period. Additionally, Lange reintroduces the venerable key winding mechanism.

Breguet timepiece 7047 features a spectacular Fusée Tourbillon mechanism. It comes equipped with the technically sophisticated handwound Breguet calibre 569, whose power-reserve device is the object of a patent application.

Corum’s magnificent work of art, the Golden Bridge, enters the realm of paradise with the presence of Adam and Eve.
The hand painted miniature images require 36 hours of painting artistry and 15 hours to dry in the various stages in an oven. The bridges are delicately engraved and manipulated by hand.
Four specially shaped and cut sapphire crystals encase the assembly of 137 components. The dial has been pierced following the outline of the movement to enable the latter to be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal on the case back. Limited to 50 pieces worldwide in 18k yellow, rose or white gold with or without diamonds, it has a black crocodile leather strap and a stylised buckle. To behold a timepiece this unique is to feel as if you have experienced the Garden of Eden!5. GIRARD-PERREGAUX
The timeless elegance of Girard-Perregaux’s ww.tc line blends well with its resolutely modern functions. These watches can be used to read, simultaneously and very easily, the time in twenty-four time zones, represented by twenty-four international cities; hence the name, ww.tc, the abbreviation for World Wide Time Control.
The ww.tc - Financial is the world’s first chronograph to indicate the different times around the
world as well as the hours when four stock markets - New York, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo - are open for business.
This original and ingenious marriage between technology and aesthetics depends on two mobile discs around the dial: a 24-hour ring is synchronised with the hour hand. A second disc can be adjusted with the crown at 9 o’clock; it displays the names of the twenty-four cities and the periods when the four bourses are open for business. When the red pointer on the hour ring is opposite one of these periods, that particular market is open.

6. Jaeger-LeCoultre
The revolutionary Master Compressor Extreme LAB, Operating without any form of lubricant, proves itself fully capable of running smoothly for years without any wear of its parts or deterioration of its performances. Even at temperatures of -40°C, when the oils or grease in a classic watch freeze and bring the movement to a halt it continues its task unperturbed. A new geometry of the balance, the use of new lighter and more resistant materials in the escapement, and a latest-generation tourbillon regulator, converge in enabling the Jaeger-LeCoultre 988C to establish a new precision benchmark.7. JAQUET DROZ
With “Les Deux Fuseaux Medium”, Manufacture Jaquet Droz measures time for dreams and
time for action, while honouring the exceptional personality of its founder.
An hour, London or Lisbon time. An hour later, Paris or Venice time. The poetry of a chosen hour that has nothing to do with time zones. There is a time for action and a time for reflection. A time to make choices and a time for thought. A time to travel and time to stay home. Time here and elsewhere. Woman and man, two perceptions of time: daily time to count the hours, dream time to mark each passing minute.

8. ROGER DUBUIS
In 2007, the Manufacture Roger Dubuis again proves its ability to make light of technical difficulties by organising the 473 parts of its RD06 movement into a spectacular set of functions. This single-pusher, mechanical hand-wound co-axial chronograph movement, equipped with a column wheel that meets the criteria of the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, displays the time by means of three central counters: retrograde, dragging hours, retrograde minutes, and seconds. The flying tourbillon beats at 12,600 vph and ticks off the seconds with its blue index. The large date display at 3 o’clock is of the instant jump kind.9.ROLEX

10. VAN CLEEF & ARPELS
Imagine an enchanted world where time was determined by a wondrous creature, with the 
touch of her magic wand. Nature is a major source of inspiration where a natural world is dazzling and magical, full of delicate and whimsical creatures such as butterflies, dragonflies and birds of paradise. In the centre of this enchanted universe is the Fairy, symbol of feminity which is both playful and sensual.
Bringing together its jeweller’s creativity and imagination and its watch making know-how has created a magical and truly exceptional watch: the Lady Arpels Féerie. On the dial sits a delicate fairy or time goddess: modeled on a Midsummer’s night dream fairy clip, her wings and body are entirely set with round diamonds and the perfect oval of her face is represented by a pear shape diamond.
The enchanting novelty of the watch is the fairy’s magic wand, the instrument of her spellbinding powers, transforms into a watch hand that points to the hours and the gossamer wings which tells the minutes. The watch thus seems part of a fairytale where the main character plays the part of the time maker.
The velvety-like intensity of the blue enamel gives the impression that the fairy is floating amidst the evening sky.
