Tissot watches and MotoGP World

Representing the official timekeeper and the official watch of MotoGP, Tissot has come up with a really unconventional way of broadening awareness about the brand's timepieces and increasing the sales - it started selling watches at MotoGP racetracks. The Tissot watches were displayed in a specially designed, portable shop.

The brand has long focused its attention upon the Motorcycle world. It has introduced the special T-Race watches, the MotoGP limited editions timepieces and the specially designed helmets.

The shops received a lot of visitors looking for MotoGP Tissot watches, and not only the regular clients in Barcelona but also new ones, including people coming to the MotoGP from other regions of Spain and all parts of Europe.

Tissot motorcycle-racing themed products, available for an average price of 550 Euro, are quite expensive for the average MotoGP. However, all the efforts of the brand and the retailer finally paid off as the sales were doubled in comparison to the previous tracks, with 50 pieces sold for a total of about 25,000 Euro.

Tissot is going to present the MotoGP concept at the three races this year to be held in Spain, two in Italy, as well as on each in the USA, Netherlands, UK, and Germany. In 2008, the brand wants to reveal a larger concept in MotoGP and NASCAR in the USA.

Ulysse Nardin watches

Founded in 1846 and named for an accomplished watchmaker, Ulysse Nardin watches represent a proud tradition of quality and mechanical innovation, acknowledged throughout the years with 18 international gold medal awards and 4,300 first prizes in the field of chronometry.

10 technological innovations united in one watch perfectly sum up Ulysse Nardin’s vision on the future of mechanical watchmaking.

Innovation 1- Barrel on ball bearings.
A 96 balls, non lubricated ball bearing guides the barrel both vertically and laterally. This solution is on the market since 2005.

Innovation 2 - “Dual Ulysse” escapement.
The “Dual Ulysse” escapement does not need any lubrication. Its reduced angle of lift (31 degrees) provides a great advantage. It is on the market since 2005.

Innovation 3 - Silicium bearings.
Lubrication free bearings in silicium are fitted into the brass base plate. No oil recesses are necessary.

Innovation 4 - DRIE precision and low friction advantages put together.
The escapement bridge made in solid silicium benefits from the high precision of the process. The good friction coefficient of silicium is another advantage. The movement designer is free to design holes very close to the exterior of the bridge as no jewels are required.

Innovation 5 - The reinforced silicium bridge.
Due to the combination of 2 technologies DRIE and LIGA, Sigatec, Mimotec and Ulysse Nardin have produced a bi-material bridge which performs extremely well. The exclusive process stands for precision, silicium stands for low friction and nickel stands for mechanical toughness.

Innovation 6 - Exploiting the elasticity of silicium.
Ulysse Nardin developed the revolutionary shock absorber bearing into the balance wheel shaft which pivots in the centre of the silicium disc. The elastic spiral shaped silicium disc deforms itself when shocks arise and returns to its original position immediately after the shock has been absorbed.

Innovation 7 - Silicium spring.
The Silicium hairspring is an excellent solution and we have the know-how to produce it.

Innovation 8 - Roller and Pin.
The roller and pin are made in one precise single component in the double sided DRIE process developed by Sigatec.

Innovation 9 - Stopper fork and security pin of the “Dual Ulysse” escapement.
The” Dual Ulysse” escapement « blocker » is a multifunctional element. Similarly to the anchor of the Swiss Anchor escapement, it bares a safety-pin which must be perfectly aligned. Thanks to the double side etching process created by Sigatec, this former multi part unit can be made as a single component not requiring any assembly or touch up.

Innovation 10 - Two-level process.
The escapement wheel and pinion are made in one single piece thanks to the two level etching process created by Sigatec. This new technology will seduce many movement designers all over the world.

Pioneering.
Ulysse Nardin has presented quite a number of “World’s Firsts“ in the past years, and many of them have used the „Freak“ as a showcase.
The “Freak“ was the first watch with a silicon escapement. It was commercialized in 2001.Some Freak prototypes housed the first hairspring made of polycrystalline diamond which showed astonishing elasticity.The “Dual Ulysse” escapement with parts made of nickel-phosphor (NiP) and silicium (2005
The first watch with an escapement made of polycrystalline diamond was commercialized in 2005

Escapement components made of silicium can be used as skeletons to “grow” on them polycrystalline diamonds
The succession of “Freak” models illustrates the continuous technological developments at Ulysse Nardin!

Product line overview

The core of the Ulysee Nardine line is the "Marine" series which has the "Maxi Marine", "Marine Annual Chronograph" and the "Marine Chronometer 1846". All of these models sell well. Additionally, the "San Marco" series has always been popular. There are also limited editions that have gained Nardin great notoriety which include the new repeater "Sonata", the turbillion "The Freak", and the "GMT +/- Perpetual".

Luxury wristwatches from Cartier

Cartier watches are always focused on the relationship between form and movement, aesthetics and "savoir-faire", technique and art. This continual quest is the driving force behind every new watchmaking challenge for Cartier watches. Cartier continues to harness each new skill and talent to combine tradition and innovation. In the mysterious and subtle world of cartier watchmaking, artist and technician work side by side as willing partners. These are the fundamental concepts underlying all creations in Cartier watches.The history of Cartier is fantastic, as it invented many styles of watches that are still produced today. Louis-Francois Cartier was born in 1819. At the age of 28 in 1847, after an apprenticeship with master watchmaker Adolphe Picard, Louis-Francouis Cartier took over his master's Paris jewellery business. He built his reputation by knowing how to satisfy the most extravagant of desires. The first wrist watch made by Cartier was called the Santos Dumont named after the Brazilian Aviator in 1904. 2 years later, Cartier began experimenting with jewel – encrusted watches.
In 1911 Louis Cartier created the TORTUE and the BAIGNOIRE. 1917 saw the introduction of the famous Cartier Tank watch.
In the early 1920s Cartier formed a joint company with Edward Jaeger (of the famed Jaeger-Le Coultre company) to produce movements solely for Cartier. Thus was the famed European watch & clock company born, although Cartier continued to use movements from other great makers.
The most remarkable moments of Cartier were the creation of the first man's wristwatch, the first water resistant timepiece. Cartier watches can be found having movements from world's most famous watch manufacturers such as: Jaeger-Le Coulter, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet and Movado.
Today Cartier continues designing beautiful works of art for men and women. In its watch arsenal one can find such famous collections. Cartier watches are available in a wide range of prices and styles. If you are looking for a prestigious name brand that offers a mix of quality craftsmanship and contemporary styling, one need look further than Cartier.

New G-Shock Gulfman

New model from its famous G-Shock line – Gulfman GW9100-1. Featuring water, shock and rust resistance, the Gulfman is the perfect fusion between function and fashion.

The titanium case and screw pins penetrate the band joints completely, making the timepiece rust and corrosion resistant. Special titanium alloy button shafts offer a higher level of shock resistance to previous models. The deep waved band releases stress from the tight fit that can occur with a wet wrist, which provides superior comfort and durability in wet conditions.

“The Gulfman is the perfect watch for anyone who plays or works in a wet or humid environment,” said Dave Johnson, Senior General Manager of Casio’s Timepiece Division.

The Gulfman GW9100-1 includes multi-band atomic timekeeping, allowing it to calibrate to the correct time by receiving time signals from atomic clocks in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Japan. By synchronizing with the atomic clocks, the Gulfman G-Shock watches achieve unparalleled long-term accuracy (the same accuracy as the atomic clocks that drive the time signals).

In addition, the Gulfman is equipped with solar power, 200 meter water resistant, world time features (offering 29 times zones, city codes, daylight savings settings), five daily alarms, 1/10-second countdown timer, 1/100-second stopwatch and an auto calendar.

Wrist watch - how it was

The wrist watch is a small sized portable timepiece that is able to display time and in some cases, the day, date as well as month and year. The wrist watch is in fact a comparatively new invention. Originally the first portable time pieces were designed to be kept in the pocket, hence the name “pocket watches” . The first wrist watch was the invention of a person named Patek Philippe who invented it around the end of the nineteenth century and it was then thought of as being a women’s accessory.

It was not until the beginning of the twentieth centaury that the first mens wrist watches began to appear. This was when Alberto Santos Dumont asked his friend Louis Cartier for a watch that could be easily used and the latter responded by giving him a leather-band wrist watch that the gents wrist watch first made an appearance in the beginning of the twentieth century. The benefit of wearing a watch on the wrist was first noticed by men who wore it in this way during World War I who did not need to fumble in their pockets to check what time it was and could merely glance at their wrist watch to ascertain the time. As a consequence, even today most Westerners wear their watches on the wrist, a direct consequence of World War I.

Nowadays wristwatches are available either purely as a time piece and good quality wristwatches are available for less than $100 or you can pay many thousands for a top quality Rolex or Cartier watch which are as much an item of jewellery as a timepiece.
