Without doubt, they make some of the finest watches in the world today.&nbsp;They currently are making roughly 200 watches per year. Almost all of the movements they use are manufactured in-house. For so few watches, they already have an extremely impressive collection to offer.&nbsp;All of the De Bethune watches are made in precious metal cases made of Gold and Platinum, or extremely rare metals like Zirconium and have their characteristic ogival lugs.&nbsp;An ogival&nbsp;&nbsp;arch is a pointed, "Gothic" arch, drawn with compasses.&nbsp;The dials are guilloched by hand. The movements are also entirely hand assembled.&nbsp;<img alt="De Bethune DB28" src="https://class-watches.com/media/wysiwyg/DSCN9929.jpg" /></p><p>We are featuring a particularly beautiful example of the De Bethune collection, the&nbsp;DB28&nbsp;Limited edition (# 9 of 50) Revolving&nbsp;3D&nbsp;Spherical Moon,&nbsp;Tourbillon Zirconium DB28TIS8NLE, in a Titanium and Zirconium round shaped case measuring 42.5mm diameter. It has a fixed Titanium bezel, with Zirconiumlugs. The lugs are spring loaded making the watch extremely comfortable on the wrist. It has a Mechanical movement, with a Power Reserve up to &plusmn; 144 hours. &nbsp;It has a spectacular Grey colored Skeleton dial with Titanium minute and hour hands. &nbsp;</p><p>Completing the beautiful dial is a Revolving&nbsp;3D&nbsp;SphericalMoon phase at 6 o'clock.&nbsp; The crown is placed at the top of the dial in the 12 o&rsquo;clock position rather than the side 3 o&rsquo;clock. It has a scratch resistant Sapphire crystal and display Case back, with power reserve indicator on the back of the watch. A perfect Crocodile black Leather&nbsp;strap with Tang buckle completes the watch.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;<img alt="De Bethune Case Back" src="https://class-watches.com/media/wysiwyg/DSCN9942.jpg" /></p><p>It is Water Resistant to 20 meters / 66 feet. &nbsp;The Case back is inscribed &amp; numbered, and the Movement signed &amp; concealed.&nbsp;</p><p>The Movement is a masterpiece of complicated engineering. It is the De Bethune Calibre DB2115 with 293 parts, and 36 jewels moving in concert at 28,800 VPH. It has a self-regulating twin barrel, silicon &amp; white gold balance. The balance spring has a flat terminal curve, and it has a spherical moon phase indicator and a silicone escape wheel. Limited Edition of 50pieces...</p><p>This fine timepiece, which retailed in De Bethune authorized boutiques and retailers for $105,000, is in perfect condition, complete with original box and papers and available from ClassWatches for exactly half that price - $52,500.</p><p>&nbsp;<img alt="D Bethune DB28 Complete" src="https://class-watches.com/media/wysiwyg/DSCN9901.jpg" /></p><p>This is a marvelous opportunity to own an extremely Limited Edition watch of the highest quality and complication.

Howard &amp; Co.</a>, in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston">Boston</a>, then America's leading watchmaking company, founded the International Watch Company with the intention of combining the craftsmanship of the Swiss with the modern engineering technology from the U.S. to manufacture movements and watch parts for the American market. Together, they laid the foundations for the only watch manufacturer in north-eastern Switzerland- The International Watch Company in Schaffhausen.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Current ownership</span></p><p>In July 2000, IWC was acquired by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richemont">Richemont</a>, a Zug-based luxury goods group, for over $3 billion. Richemont is the holding company of some of the world&rsquo;s best known watch brands and the synergy created by this is beneficial for all of the brands it owns, as they are comfortable allowing their brands to be managed as independent entities, yet able to take advantage of the economies of scale that come from such concentrated purchasing power. IWC was guaranteed that it would continue to be managed by its executives and that group runs the company today.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Technology</span></p><p>Movements in the bulk of IWC's range of watches and chronographs (including the Portuguese Chronograph) use movements from Swatch-owned <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETA_SA">ETA</a>. Significant modifications are made to the completed ETA 2892 by IWC at the manufacture to create the Caliber 30110, as is the case with Calibers 79230/79320/79350, which are modified ETA/Valjoux 7750 movements.</p><p>Movements not based on ETA movements include the Caliber 5000 and the Caliber 8000, which use the Pellaton winding system, and the pocket watch movements used in the Portuguese F.A. Jones and other IWC pocket watches.</p><p>Today IWC manufacture a wide range of different models including the very popular Big Pilot line and the Portuguese line. Their watches are universally admired as a flagship Swiss watch brand and are sought after by collectors and people who value quality and superb design. IWC watches have traditionally held their value very well in the secondary market and are constantly in demand.</p><p>ClassWatches admires the IWC Company greatly and always has several examples in stock. Our IWC watches are mostly brand new from the US Distributor, but we also acquire some superb (and rare) vintage and collector owned pieces from time to time. Please check our website at <a href="http://www.classwatches.com">www.classwatches.com</a> and our eBay store at eBay.com/usr/classwatches to see what we have in stock.</p><p>We recently acquired some difficult to obtain, brand new IWC pieces including a Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph, a Pilot&rsquo;s JU-Air Edition and a Portuguese Chronograph Classic.

A Tourbillon essentially mounts the watch balance wheel and escapement in a rotating cage which averages out errors caused by gravity, or moving a watch into different positions as the wearer moves around.</span></p><p class="p2"><span class="s3" style="font-size: medium;">Today Tourbillons represent a dedication to craftsmanship and skill, and take many hours of work by talented watchmakers to build and assemble. They are found in the highest priced watches in a manufacturer's range and are rare and very collectible.</span></p><p class="p2"><span class="s3" style="font-size: medium;">Class Watches carries many different Tourbillon movement watches and we present some of the latest additions to our inventory here:</span></p><p class="p2"><span class="s3" style="font-size: medium;">1. <strong>Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX 3 Tourbillon GMT,</strong> produced in association with Aston Martin, is a magnificent and complicated piece crafted in Platinum and Ceramic and has a second hour hand to allow you to know the time in two different Zones.

Master of Complications]]></title><link>https://class-watches.com/index.php/blog/franckm/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Franck Muller - Master of Complications &ndash; Available at www.ClassWatches.com</span></p><p>In 1983, after much research and dedication, Franck Muller presented his first wristwatches. They all had a complicated movements that had been created solely by him.</p><p>Muller realized that there was a demand in the market for collectors in search of unique timepieces and he set about creating a company to meet some of that demand.</p><p>In order to meet that demand, every year since then, he has succeeded in unveiling a World Premiere, assembling complications that have never been created before. Franck Muller recognized very early on that the Tourbillon was an important scientific invention. It was created over 200 years ago in an attempt to achieve greater accuracy for timepieces. Franck created, for the first time ever, a Tourbillon visible from the front. Contrary to all other brands Tourbillons in which it could only be seen from the back. His revolutionary new design and subsequent Grand Complications became the cornerstone for Franck Muller being recognized as the "Master of Complications".</p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Watchland</strong></span></p><p>Remaining faithful to its roots, Franck Muller Gen&egrave;ve is established in the very same village where Franck started his activity in 1983, namely Genthod, in the neighbouring countryside of Geneva.&nbsp;</p><p>It is in this elegant and friendly atmosphere that the Franck Muller watches are designed and made.&nbsp; In response to the growing success experienced by the brand, two new buildings in the same style were built and the Watchland was finally completed in 2001.&nbsp;</p><p>Independence of creation, of innovation, of strategy, the brand is proud to use all means to respond to one unique criterion:&nbsp; the creation of exceptional timepieces.</p><p>The Franck Muller group also has several production sites in the Jura Arc such as dial manufacturing and case stamping, which are then delivered to Watchland to be finished and ultimately assembled. Franck Muller is one of the few brands that manufactures 100 percent its cases and dials as well.</p><p>Open to the public by appointment, visitors from all over the world come to visit.&nbsp; For Franck Muller, opening the Watchland site is a way of paying tribute to the craftsmen who perpetuate the great watchmaking tradition, while sharing his passion with those who already appreciate fine watchmaking, or who want to learn about it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Unique Design</h2><p>&nbsp;Franck Muller watches became easily identifiable thanks to their Cintr&eacute;e Curvex shape that is commonly recognized as the brand&rsquo;s most significant silhouette.&nbsp; For the brand, it quickly became a great success and a way to express its unique identity, assert its DNA and demonstrate its know-how in case manufacturing.</p><p>Since the 1980s, Franck Muller has become a name synonymous with beautiful finishing and unique designs. &nbsp;Muller has tied his name to a brand that has established a series of exceptional timepieces that, while originally avant-garde, have become embraced and often copied.</p><p>From its creation, the Cintr&eacute;e Curvex case was very unique.&nbsp; Indeed, the Haute Horlogerie was bound by tradition and consequently not very open to innovation, especially in terms of design.&nbsp; At the time, there were plenty of round watches and perhaps a few rectangular ones, but there was nothing like Franck Muller&rsquo;s Curvex.&nbsp; So it was a bold move to introduce, in 1992, something previously nonexistent on the market; a tonneau curved body in 3 dimensions involving great technical difficulties in manufacturing.&nbsp;</p><p>Franck Muller watches became easily identifiable due to their tonneau shape that is commonly recognized as the brand&rsquo;s most significant silhouette.&nbsp;For the brand, it quickly became a great success and a way to express its unique identity, assert its DNA and demonstrate its know-how in case manufacturing.</p><p>Similarly, Franck Muller timepieces became instantly recognizable for their unique and beautiful numeral design.&nbsp; The dials on the Cintr&eacute;e Curvex models are also very complex to produce.&nbsp; For example, they must be perfectly curved to follow the shape of the case, but must still have the best guilloche, printing quality and precision.&nbsp; Introducing dials in gorgeous vibrant colors such as royal blue was also initiated by Franck Muller and showed all the hallmark of a classic Franck Muller design.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Available at our website <a href="http://www.class-watches.com">here</a> or at our eBay store <a href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/classwatches">here</a>, or email <a href="mailto:Mauricio@class-watches.com">Mauricio@class-watches.com</a> for more information</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2016 22:42:28 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[New Watches this week]]></title><link>https://class-watches.com/index.php/blog/NY/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">New inventory at <a href="http://www.classwatches.com">www.classwatches.com</a></span></b></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mauricio returned from a buying trip to New York last week and he brought back some exceptional watches from Hublot, Zenith, Vacheron Constantin, Omega and Bell &amp; Ross.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Hublot is a Tradition model and is a beautiful watch in a Rose Gold case.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He also found two magnificent Zeniths &ndash; an El Capitan Moon Phase Big Date in Rose Gold and an El Primero Chronograph in Stainless Steel.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Vacheron Constantin is a very special Chronograph in Yellow Gold that was priced at over $20,000 when new.

In 1743, he created his first chronometer; in 1744, his first repetition dial and in 1758, he was one of the first Swiss exporters, specifically to the king of Spain. The history of the family of <a href="http://www.europastar.com/brand-index/1004083068-gevril.html">Gevril</a> goes back to the 1500s and there were several watchmakers in the family.</p><p>Friedmann explains. "We found a watch in a museum in Geneva from Daniel <a href="http://www.europastar.com/brand-index/1004083068-gevril.html">Gevril</a> and as a result we saw that the dial we are using today is very similar to that watch. I didn't want to go away from the old style dials, even when I made the new collections. I wanted to make sure that the new watches have something in common with past watches. I want to go closer to the past, because I feel that this will be our success, using today's technology with the core being from the historical foundation."</p><p>Friedmann introduced <a href="http://www.europastar.com/brand-index/1004083068-gevril.html">Gevril</a> at probably the worst possible time, just before September 11, 2001, but he persevered through the tough retail markets and today Gevril watches are prized among watch connoisseurs.</p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.europastar.com/brand-index/1004083068-gevril.html">Gevril</a>'s products, made in the brand's factory in Tramelan, Switzerland, are an interesting mix of old and new. The designs have a taste of tradition and what has come before, but there are new twists and special design elements that really distinguish the brand. In addition, the attention to detail and focus on quality is immediately apparent.</p><p>"The Avenue of Americas is really the product that makes us stand out," Friedmann says. "It's a case design from the 1920s that we found in some old books in a small factory in Switzerland. We use a round mechanical movement and we added an innovation in the pushers - the pushers are straight not round. We used a beveled dial with raised numbers, then we hand paint the numbers. If you bevel a dial and you apply the numbers, after two or three years the numbers might fall off.</p><p>"We use a new mechanism with the day /date/moon - it has four different pushers to change the moon and the date," he adds. "The sapphire crystal on the front and back is beveled. We were careful about the way the watch lays on the wrist, because the most important detail is when the consumer wears the watch. I care that the customer is proud to wear <a href="http://www.europastar.com/brand-index/1004083068-gevril.html">Gevril</a>."</p><p>The newest watch for <a href="http://www.europastar.com/brand-index/1004083068-gevril.html">Gevril</a> is the Serenade, a dual time zone watch that features a patented movement with a 23 carat gold rotor, and a very interesting way of indicating night or day in the different time zones. The watch has two time zone windows that gracefully change from white for day to black for night, allowing the wearer to keep track of days and nights in two time zones without effort. The Serenade is available in 18 carat rose gold, 18 carat white gold or platinum.</p><p>"We call it the Serenade because it takes twenty or thirty minutes to change over from day to night, much the same way that the sun goes down and the night comes up," Friedmann explains. "The watch brings together day and night. We feel very proud of this watch, which is limited to 50 pieces worldwide."</p><p>www.ClassWatches.com has a fine selection of Gevrils, including the flagship Serenade in Rose Gold, as well as a variety of Avenue of the Americas models with varying levels of complications, including Chronograph, Dual Time and Moon Phase variations.</p><p>Gevrils compare very favorably in look and function to other better known brands like Roger Dubuis, and offer the owner the opportunity to wear a spectacularly fine watch at a fraction of the cost of other watches of similar quality.</p><p>Visit our site at <a href="http://www.classwatches.com">www.classwatches.com</a> to see our Gevril inventory and contact us with any questions at <a href="mailto:Mauricio@Class-Watches.com">Mauricio@Class-Watches.com</a> or call (310) 433-9293</p>]]></description> <pubDate>Fri, 27 May 2016 18:53:35 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item><title><![CDATA[New Inventory at ClassWatches]]></title><link>https://class-watches.com/index.php/blog/classwatches/</link> <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: medium;">New Inventory at Class Watches</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mauricio Pier&rsquo;s Class Watches, a leading online marketer of fine watches from major Swiss manufacturers like <strong>Roger Dubuis, Franc Vila, Chopard, Hublot, Panerai, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Gevril, Harry Winston, Corum, Girard Perregaux, Parmigiani, Chronoswiss</strong> and many others, is increasing its inventory dramatically, acquiring several new pieces every week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These new pieces can be found at <strong><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.classwatches.com">www.classwatches.com</a></span></strong>&nbsp; and we are always ready to answer any of your questions about our inventory, as well as any watches you want us to find for you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We are available by email at <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="mailto:Mauricio@class-watches.com">Mauricio@class-watches.com</a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">or you can call us directly at <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>(424) 334-1539</strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Visit our website at least once a week to see the new pieces.
