KRIEGSFILME UND UHRMACHERISCHE PRÄZISION

TOP GUN, ein Klassiker unter den Kinoklassikern. Die erste Ausgabe erschien in den 80er-Jahren und war ein voller Erfolg. In den Hauptrollen spielten Tom Cruise als „Maverick“, Anthony Edwards als „Goose“ und andere große Filmikonen wie Val Kilmer, Michael Ironside, Kelly McGillis, Meg Ryan … 2022 kehrt der Klassiker mit einem neuen Film, TOP GUN: MAVERICK, zurück und bringt die ikonischen Charaktere wieder auf die Leinwand.

LEBENDIGE GESCHICHTE – TOP GUN EXISTIERT

Nur wenige Menschen wissen es – die heutige Generation zum Beispiel gar nicht –, aber der Generation aus den Zeiten des Originalfilms ist es bekannt: Das im Film dargestellte TOPGUN-Programm ist die Elite-Jagdflugschule der United States Navy, ein echtes Programm der US-Navy.

Die Heeresdivision stand Pate für einen großen Klassiker der 80er-Jahre-Kriegsfilme, der nun in einem neuen Teil wieder aufgegriffen wird. 

TOP GUN FT IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN

Die TOP GUN-Uhren, die seit 2007 hergestellt werden, verdanken ihren charakteristischen Namen dem „Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor“-Programm der US-Navy. Dieses Programm inspirierte nicht nur zur Kreation dieser großartigen Uhren, sondern auch zu einer filmischen Darstellung der Flugschule.

The Breitling Navitimer, the favourite watch of aviators

The Breitling Navitimer is undoubtedly one of the primary cult watches on the watch scene. This iconic watch stands out with its slide rule dial. Pilots swear by it, and for good reason. A closer look at this legendary model.

The story behind the Navitimer

The Breitling Navitimer was created in 1952 to provide pilots with a true instrument they could wear on their wrist. Its name is a contraction of the words «navigation» and «timer». The slide rule on this watch allows wearers to analyse and solve all air navigation calculations. Hence, it is possible to calculate things such as fuel consumption and flight time and convert miles to kilometres. Indeed, when it came out, it was extremely popular with collectors.

The rebirth of the Navitimer

The Navitimer disappeared somewhat in the 1970s. Yet, it came back on the scene in 2009 when it was equipped with a manufacture movement, Breitling calibre 01, a technologically advanced chronograph movement that is COSC certified. Subsequently, in 2014, the case size was increased to enhance readability. Since then, the Navitimer has continued to captivate fans of watchmaking and aviation.

Watch certifications

All watch connoisseurs are concerned about certifications, as they should be. Certifications are a guarantee of quality and precision. They reflect the excellence, knowhow and passion of Swiss watch manufacturers. Would you like to know more about watch certifications? Here you go.

COSC certification

In 1973, five watchmaking cantons (Bern, Geneva, Neuchâtel, Soleure and Vaud) and the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry decided to found the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute, also known as the COSC. This independent control body grants certificates of excellence exclusively to Swiss watches.

To earn this certification, a watch undergoes performance-related testing. The average daily rate, the difference between rates in horizontal and vertical position, and the variation in rate depending on temperature are all fundamental criteria to earn this certification. Many major brands have their models regularly certified by the COSC, including Rolex, OMEGA, Tissot and TAG Heuer.

OMEGA METAS certification

In 2015, legendary watchmaker OMEGA unveiled its first Master Chronometer (METAS) certified watch, the OMEGA Globemaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer. This certification can be obtained by all Swiss watches, in addition to COSC certification. It ensures excellence in terms of performance and resistance to magnetic fields.

This certification, granted in addition to COSC certification, is open to all Swiss watches. It guarantees an unprecedented level of performance in terms of precision and resistance to magnetic fields.

A watch is rigorously tested to earn METAS certification. Indeed, it must withstand a magnetic field of up to 15,000 gauss. It must also have superior power reserve and water resistance. These tests take place over the course of 10 days. At the end of this time, if a watch passes the tests, it will receive METAS certification. Such certification is a way to dispel many concerns about the proper functioning of a timepiece.

There are still other certifications. If you would like to learn more, feel free to ask us for advice about certifications directly at our shop.

Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2021

A little history

The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève is a foundation that was created in 2011 that promotes the watchmaking art. Every year in November, it organises an awards ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland.

Any watch brand can participate with watches that are commercially available after March and before the end of October of the current year. They simply send an end entry form and present one or more watches.

The award given to winners of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève resembles a hand, which symbolises the knowhow and mastery that is essential in the watchmaking crafts. It was created by the Genevan painter and graphic designer Roger Pfund.

GPHG 2021

The winners of GPHG 2021 was released on the 4th of November.

This year, Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin took the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix at GPHG 2021 for the brand’s Octo Finissimo Perpetual Calendar.

Other awards won

The Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 80 Hours Calibre 9SA5 model by Seiko won the Men’s Watch Prize. This marvel combines a striking dial with a state-of-the-art manufacture movement.

MB&F did not fall short this year, as the brand won not one but two awards. The first was in the “Men’s Complication» category for its LMX Titanium with a hand-winding mechanical movement.

The second prize was in the “Artistic Crafts” category with the “Around the World in 80 Days” model.

Chopard was also one of the lucky ones. The brand won the “Jewellery Watch» prize with its Flower Power model. A jewel crafted by the artisans at Maison Chopard that honours the Paradise theme.

Did you know?

“Time is money” is an expression dating back to the mid-18th century attributed to Benjamin Franklin. In his work Advice to a Young Tradesman, Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Remember that time is money”. While there are many translations in many languages, the expression always means the same thing: use your time wisely to earn the most money!
