For blue hours

Men's watches

Elegant shades of blue run like a red thread through the watch and jewelry collections this autumn. So it's high time to go blue yourself ...


Elegance is an attitude

With Simon Baker, Swiss watch manufacturer Longines has made the perfect choice. Who else could better embody the corporate philosophy of this traditional company?

(1) l.o.: Second time zone: Baume & Mercier has created the Clifton collection for worldly and well-traveled men. On the automatic Clifton M0A10316, the satin-finished sunburst dial displays a second time zone in addition to the hours, minutes and seconds!

(2) 2nd from top: And, action! In summer, "Atomic Blonde", the new Hollywood movie by Carl F. Bucherer brand ambassador David Leich, celebrated its world premiere in Berlin. The new Manero Power Reserve from the Lucerne watch manufacturer also plays a role in the espionage thriller!

(4) r.o.: A classic since 2005: Longines Master Collection has been combining classic elegance with first-class design for twelve years. Now the color palette of dials has been expanded to include gray and blue. The movements of the automatic caliber are visible through the transparent back. The Master Collection is available in various diameters - also for ladies' wrists.

(5) l.u.: Retro time: The Superocean Héritage II, designed for modern adventurers and explorers, has a new look. The most striking features are the steel bezel with bezel ring made of ultra-hard, scratch-resistant and shock-resistant high-tech ceramic - and the dial, which features the original Superocean logo from 1957.

(6) m.u.: To the second: To ensure an accuracy that is twice as high as officially required for chronometers, Rolex has created a top movement with the 3235 caliber. It can be found in the Rolex Datejust with a blue dial and 18-carat gold indices. www.rolex.com

(7) r.u.: High-tech ceramic: Rado's DiaMaster Grande Seconde was presented in Basel in 2015. Now there is the 2017 version with a case made of plasma high-tech ceramic. The dial features two displays for hours & minutes and seconds & date. www.rado.com
