The Noramis Date

This one absolutely speaks to me.  The case is 40 mm in diameter and is of stainless steel.  A wonderfully green dial with hours indicated by numbers at 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10, alternating with applied markers.  The movement is Union Glashütte's UNG-07.01.

Hours, minutes, seconds and date at 3 o'clock.
Once it's safe to travel again, I might just have to cash in all of the empty soda cans, raid the change jar and head visit a country where I can actually lay hands to this time machine, as they are not available on this side of the Atlantic.

Tachys Aragon Green and Rose - the Pen is STILL Mightier!

Here is some writing goodness from Messrs. Naldi at Edelberg -

This is one of their latest creations, the Tachys Aragon Green and Tachys Aragon Rose.  The pen pictured above is the Tachys Aragon Green.

And this is the Rose -

So here's the info - straight from Edelberg -

The Tachys Aragon is a special Limited Edition made in two versions: Green Abalone and Rose Abalone.

Both versions are limited to 28 Fountain Pens WorldWide.

The nib is the same one as on the classic Tachys. A one-size medium nib with converter / cartridge filling mechanism.

 

The abalone is hand cut and then applied on the barrel and the cap. A small south Korean atelier manufactures the abalone-mosaic 100% by hand. The process takes a long time due to the precision which must be used in applying the small abalone parts on the corp.

 

The white material used on the top and on the clip is SuperLumiNova, which gives a special mix between an innovative and an ancient material.

 

It's true Swiss Made technology meeting Asian artistry.

 

Pre-orders and choice of number can be accepted as long as they are available.

Girard-Perregaux Creates Unique Timepiece for Christie’s Annual Green Auction to Save the Earth

New York, NY (March 14, 2012) – Girard-Perregaux, iconic luxury Swiss watch brand, is proud to announce the creation of a unique timepiece to be auctioned during Christie’s Annual Green Auction on April 11, 2012. The event, hosted by Christie’s for the third time, will take place at Rockefeller Center a few days before Earth Day.




The Green Auction is a borderless collaboration of individuals, organizations, and businesses who are engaged, in spirit and action, in the protection and conservation of the environment. The star-studded affair is expected to raise millions of dollars in proceeds for four of the world’s leading environmental nonprofits- Oceana, Conservation International (CI), Central Park Conservancy (CPC), and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)- specifically to benefit water-conservation projects central to each organization.



“We are honored to support Christie’s efforts to encourage the safe-keeping of our natural water resources”, says Michele Sofisti, CEO of Sowind Group (Girard-Perregaux and JeanRichard). “It is important for all of us at Girard-Perregaux to contribute with our own grain of sand in this important fight, which is of great importance for our future generations and an issue that needs much support to increase awareness”.



“We are proud to be working with Girard-Perregaux again on this initiative”, says Toby Usnik, International Head of Corporate Communications for Christie’s International. “They have always been a constant supporter of our Green Auction and we are excited to have such a powerful brand on board for this important event”.

The 2012 Green Auction will be the third time the brand has supported this event, since its start in 2010, and will be co-chaired by Graydon and Anna Carter, James R. Hedges IV, François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek, and David and Susan Rockefeller. The evening will feature a live musical performance by Grace Potter of Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. Following an exclusive cocktail reception, the live auction will offer attendees the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind fantasy lots including a unique Girard-Perregaux timepiece. The Sea Hawk 1000m “Green Auction” features a steel and rubber 44 mm case, houses a Girard-Perregaux manufacture automatic movement with power reserve indicator and is water resistant to 1,000 meters.
