BaselWorld 2012 Mens watch highlights
BaselWorld 2012 is the place to see what is new in the wide
world of watches. And this year, men have plenty to look forward to
with a wide range of choices of not only the usual suspects, but
some very special yet-to-be-announced timepieces.
Opening its doors from the 8th -
15th March, here is a selection of some of what
BaselWorld will have to offer for men. It is still the world's
biggest watch and jewellery show, with vast halls that stretch as
far as the eye can see house a world of watch and jewellery
wonders. The big brands erect entire buildings of marble, glass and
even wood to showcase the new arrivals in the most opulent
settings.
The biggest names in the horological world will be descending on
Basel with their finest timepieces yet. For those looking for the
ultimate extravagance you'll see the Graff Master Graff Tourbillion
with a dial incorporating 15cts of diamonds cut down from 45ct
sourced diamonds, for those looking for more something more
discerning there is the perfectly realised Maurice Lacroix Lune
Rétrograde, or the classic masculinity that TAG Heuer bring to each
design every year, such as their latest Microgirder, that this year
comes with a 1/2000th of a second timing from the new
concept that TAG Heuer are proud to have at this year's BaselWorld,
beating at an unbelievable 7.2 milltion beats every hour.
There are countless others, not to mention the mighty OMEGA, the
always splendid Chopard, Bremont, and this year limited edition
Breitling for Bentley GMT V8 Watch. Set to be unveiled exclusively
at Baselworld, Breitling's timepiece was made to mark the launch of
the Bentley Continental GT V8. With so many of the biggest icons of
the horological world in one place, BaselWorld 2012 is going to be
full of many more marvels and no doubt some world first glimpses
too.
So if watches are your thing, then make sure you follow the news
from the biggest watch event on the planet, or head to Basel as the
event is open to the public.
