The 1521 Golf: Original stylish watches from Magellan 2007-10-22 14:12:00 The 1521 Golf is based on Magellan
’s prize winning 1521 Northern Hemisphere wristwatch design. The dial of this special model is produced using an actual golf ball.A section with a diameter of 26 mm (just under one inch) is cut from a golf ball, hand-milled to exact size and mounted on a bronze support with feet to anchor it on the movement. A hole is drilled into the center of the dial in which a special set of tubes (milled to 5/1000th mm precision) are fitted on which the hands are mounted.

Limited Edition: Perrelet's 230th Anniversary Watch 2007-10-16 14:35:00 Two hundred and thirty years after the revolutionary invention of the automatic winding system by rotor by Abraham-Louis Perrelet, the company salutes their heritage and continued success with the introduction of a highly unique, limited edition anniversary timepiece.

To honor the magnitude of this event Perrelet is offering a limited edition of 77 individually numbered Anniversary
Skeleton Chronographs. The distinctive anniversary timepiece reflects Perrelet’s philosophy of designing each model as a testimony to the past, as well as to the future. The traditionally hand assembled skeleton chronograph movement is designed to allow one Read more: Edition

It is extremely hard to find the appropriate rough batch of stones, comprising stones of this size that can serve to form such impressive baguettes.
