Press Release: TUDOR Announces Lady Gaga As New Brand And #BORNTODARE Campaign Ambassador.


The infamously daring pop icon, Lady Gaga, joins the TUDOR family. Notorious for being provocative both on and offstage and leading a foundation committed to empower youth, she personifies the very #BornToDare spirit TUDOR lives by since its creation.

In 2017, TUDOR launched a new campaign with the “Born To Dare” signature. It reflects both the history of the brand and what it stands for today. Daring individuals have long chosen TUDOR while achieving the extraordinary on
land, ice, in the air and underwater. It also refers to the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of TUDOR, who manufactured TUDOR watches to withstand the most extreme conditions, watches made for the most daring lifestyles indeed. “Born To Dare” tells of the singular approach TUDOR is known for today, having pioneered now major trends within the watchmaking industry, including fabric straps and vintage-inspired models.


The TUDOR “Born To Dare” spirit is expressed in a campaign manifesto (below and extended version in annex) and supported globally by ambassadors whose life achievements directly result from a daring approach to life.

Omega Press Release: Nato Strap - Same Watch Different Look.

Now that you’re switching to your summer wardrobe, why not go all the way and give your timepiece a cool new look for the warmer months?


With OMEGA’s fantastic selection of “NATO” straps, giving your watch a summer makeover couldn’t be easier - or more affordable.


OMEGA’s “NATO” straps evolved from the leather and canvas straps used by British pilots, navigators and army personnel during World War Two. For safety reasons, wristwatches did not use removable spring bars to secure their straps. Their fixed bars, often soldered, were less likely to break than spring bars so there was less chance of losing the strap in conflict situations.


Take your pick!
There are three 5-stripe fabric straps with stainless steel buckles and fitted keepers; three nylon fabric straps with grey, orange or red border; a brown Novonappa leather strap; and an all-black coated nylon fabric strap with fitted black keepers and polished buckle.



If you’d like to see how your watch looks with a new “NATO” strap, our website has a virtual function that lets you mix and match with ease.You can experiment with different combinations without having to break out the strap changing tool. Why not have some fun and see what happens? You may discover a look that’s as individual as you are. If you’d rather see how your new “NATO” strap looks on the wrist, OMEGA’s boutique staff will be happy to help.



Like the originals that inspired them, OMEGA’s “NATO” straps can easily be adjusted to any length and are thus perfectly suited to every wrist (or even the outside of a uniform!).

Hands-On: Tudor 2017 collection.

Tudor is riding on the success of the Heritage Black Bay collection and this year the Black Bay Chronograph is added to the series of diving watches. Strictly speaking, it can't be considered as a dive watch because it does not come with a rotating bezel. That aside, it is still a good looking tool watch with a 200m depth rating and a chronograph function. This comes with a date window alongside with the other Black Bay releases this year. It has a 45-mins counter at 3 and running seconds at 9 o'clock with the date at 6 o'clock.

Baselworld 2017 Press Release: TUDOR Heritage Black Bay Chronograph.


Since the presentation in 1970 of the Prince Oysterdate Chronograph, its first chronograph, TUDOR has always produced watches that are closely tied to the world of motorsports. In the same way, since 1954 TUDOR has been constantly improving its professional divers’ watches. The new hybrid Heritage Black Bay Chrono chronograph dares to combine the aquatic heritage represented by the Black Bay family with the queen of the racetrack, the chronograph. Remaining faithful to the Black Bay aesthetic with the famous snowflake hands – a brand signature since 1969 – the Heritage Black Bay Chrono model offers optimum readability against the domed matt black dial. Its sub-counters are hollowed for optimum contrast and a date aperture is positioned at 6 o’clock. 
The recognisable characteristics of the Black Bay are preserved in a steel case with a 41-millimetre diameter, fitted with pushers inspired by the first generation of TUDOR chronographs. A fixed bezel in circular satin-brushed steel with engraved tachymetric scale completes the face of this sporty new chronograph.

Press Release: MB&F & L'EPÉE 1839 BASELWORLD 2017: DESTINATION MOON



SINGAPORE, 22 MARCH 2017 - Space isn’t empty, it’s filled by imagination!
Reality sucks! In the 1960s, science fiction had us flying through the air on hoverboards and our imaginations soared, but we ended up with non-hovering boards with wheels on solid ground. Science fiction promised us 3D TV and engineers delivered, but we took one look, felt queasy and out they went. Science fiction filled our imaginations with elegant ovoid-shaped rockets that would fly us to the moon and beyond. Again engineers delivered, but the rockets, although eminently practical, ended up being straight, uninspiring cylinders.



Some things are best left to the imaginations and MB&F’s Destination Moon does just that. It delivers just enough engineering for an eight-day clock looking like an exciting science fiction rocket from the 1960s, but with plentiful empty space allowing our imaginations to fill in the details.


Conceived by MB&F and built by L’Epée 1839, Switzerland’s premier clock maker, Destination Moon is the quintessential torpedo-shaped rocket of childhood dreams. But look more closely and you will see that its minimalistic form is evocative rather than definitive.

Destination Moon is available in 4 limited editions of 50 pieces each in black, green, and blue PVD, plus palladium (silver).

The Hour Glass is proud to be the exclusive retailer of MB&F in Singapore.

Press Release: MB&F Proudly Presents A Pre-Baselworld Launch.

The Legacy Machine No.2

SINGAPORE, 20 FEBRUARY 2017 – First launched in 2013 in red gold, white gold and platinum, the Legacy Machine No.2 series is completed today with an LM2 Titanium limited edition.

For the 18 pieces of this very limited edition, the changes go beyond the grade 5 titanium: the most obvious feature is undoubtedly the striking bluish-green face – obtained thanks to the same CVD (chemical vapour deposition) technique used for the very popular LM1 M.A.D. Dubai.

Look a bit further and you’ll notice more modifications: the dual “flying” balance wheels are now secured by sleek, rounded bridges, polished to a mirror finish. Just like the polished bezel, which loses its previous brushed finish. Last but not least, turn the LM2 Titanium on its side and you’ll see that the case is a full millimetre slimmer.

Inside the LM2 Titanium, the dual regulator movement conceived for MB&F by award-winning watchmakers Jean-François Mojon and Kari Voutilainen. Two fully independent balance wheels and escapements, each beating at its own rate, and a planetary differential which continuously averages out the two rates to drive the hours and minutes.

The Hour Glass is the exclusive retailer of MB&F in Singapore.

Pre-Basel Press Release: Golden Bridge Rectangle

Bridging refinement and watchmaking know-how Golden Bridge Rectangle


Corum enriches its unique and emblematic Golden Bridge with a new rectangular case shape

The new refined rectangular look of the classic Golden Bridge was created by renowned designer Dino Modolo, who enhanced the beautifully engraved and finished inline movement by adding an astonishing play of finely crafted geometry: 18- karat gold structures representing six Roman numerals surround the completely visible caliber, creating a harmonious nostalgic feel between the shapes, rivets, and materials that carefully remind the architecture of a bridge.

Following the design codes of Art Deco, the Golden Bridge Rectangle shows a timeless and discreet elegance, yet focuses on the functionality of its brilliant movement, leading the eye along the path of Caliber CO113’s energy transfer from spring barrel at 6 o’clock to the escapement at 12 o’clock.

Perfectly complementing the case and movement, the elaborate gold micro structures suspended between the panes of sapphire crystal add eye-catching brilliance while adhering to the rectangular shape dictated by the case.

“The Golden Bridge is the capstone of Corum’s collections, an illustration of Swiss horology at its best,” Corum’s CEO David Traxler said. “Its innovative aesthetic and unique movement construction are timeless. With this new Rectangle version, we wanted to go further with the architecture of the timepiece itself to create yet another classic edition of our signature haute horlogerie timepiece.”

Perfectly proportioned, the Golden Bridge fits beautifully on the wrist, and unlike its role model from 1980, thanks to modern technology this refined version is fully water- resistant to 30 meters/3 atmospheres.
