FINE LIVING — On Time —


GENTLEMAN’S CLUB


HIS ONE STATEMENT PIECE FOR ANY BLACK-TIE PARTY.


IWC Schaffhausen


Portofino Hand-wound Day&Date
An amalgamation of sophistication and functionality is The
Portofino Hand-wound Day&Date, a timepiece that has combined
the large date with a day and power reserve displays alongside a
small seconds hand at 6 o’clock. Though timelessly elegant, it doesn’t
compromise readability: not only are its indicators easily visible, but two
large digits at 12 o’clock also display the date on a slate-coloured dial
complemented by gold-planted hands and 18K red gold indices.
Beating to the IWC-manufactured 59220 calibre, the 45mm
timepiece can run up to eight days and endorses the wearer with a
brown leather strap from Santoni.

Hublot


Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Chelsea
Also limited to 200 pieces is Hublot’s Classic Fusion
Chronograph Chelsea, a brainchild made to celebrate the
watchmaker’s partnership with Premier League champions.
Aside from a 45mm satin-finished and polished titanium case
and bezel, the timepiece is powered by HUB1143, an automatic
chronograph movement that allows for twin counters at three and
nine o’clock and a date window at six o’clock. The Chelsea lion
logo is seated at 12 o’clock and also on the case back. The dial,
meanwhile, is also inspired by the team colours and has a sunray
satin finish.
Water-resistant to 50m, it can run up to 42 hours.

Audemars Piguet


Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph QEII Cup 2016
To celebrate the 18th edition of the Audemars Piguet
Queen Elizabeth II Cup with The Hong Kong Jockey Club,
the watchmaker debuts the eponymous Royal Oak Offshore
Chronograph, limited to 200 pieces.
The 44mm in forged carbon case is enveloped with an 18k
pink gold bezel as well as black ceramic screw-locked crown and
pushpieces. Lending to the masculine aesthetics of the Royal Oak
Offshore collection, the black “Méga Tapisserie” patterned dial is
embellished with pink gold applied hour-markers and Royal Oak
hands with luminescent coating, making an even greater contrast.
Fitted with chronograph functions alongside hours,
minutes, small seconds and date display, the watch encases the
Manufacture Selfwinding Calibre 3126/3840, which is unveiled
through a glare-proofed sapphire crystal.
