Hautlence на Baselworld 2014

[rc30]

Благодаря моему старому другу Оливеру, работающему на Мозер (который входит с Hautlence в одну группу) мне удалось посмотреть новую коллекцию. И, разумеется, спасибо Гийому Тету, одному из создателей и СЕО компании, который мне постарался все показать.
К сожалению, я не очень сильно разбираюсь в этой марке, поэтому просто выложу все, что наснимал.

Изумительно красиво! Часы на фото 11-15 (вот бы еще РЕФ узнать) зацепили, хотя вроде мне такие никогда и не нравились, а тут вон оно как... Ценник, полагаю, так и оставит эти часы в разряде "хотелок".

Там серьезный ценник)) А в России тем более Меркури продает, что делает его еще серьезнее)) В ЦУМе можете поинтересоваться, сколько они у нас стоят.

Прислали пресс-релиз на линейку Destination:

LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS, March 2014 – In 2013, HAUTLENCE sprung a surprise by unveiling the first line under the “Signature” label, DESTINATION. This line is now available from all the brand’s authorised points of sale. Drawing upon the in-house codes and reinterpreting them, DESTINATION is designed to appeal to cosmopolitan individuals by offering them the brand’s first ever dual-time complication.

HAUTLENCE has thus far equipped all its models with in-house developed and assembled calibres under the “ATELIER” label. While the development of its own movements is an integral part of the brand DNA and will continue to be so, HAUTLENCE has made no secret of its interest in external cooperative endeavours on certain lines. Under the “SIGNATURE” commercial label, the brand now offers series-produced models driven by externally sourced movements. DESTINATION is the first line to carry this label.

Picking up the original HAUTLENCE characteristics (architectural DNA, pure lines and a 3D spirit), while asserting its own more accessible style, DESTINATION is equipped – for the first time in brand history – with a self-winding movement sourced from an external partner, and thus able to offer new functions: the hours and minutes are complemented by a large date and a 12-hour dragging dual time-zone display, revealed by a 24-hour day/night indicator.

The interplay of discs and reading indications through transparency effects is an integral part of the brand spirit; to achieve this, the movement was modified in comparison with its standard execution – a process that involved altering the day/night indication and adapting the hand cylinders.

For this first line to appear under the “Signature” label, HAUTLENCE has opted for a mechanical self-winding Soprod 935I/A10-2 movement. Housed in a titanium case, this calibre adorned with circular Côtes de Genève is protected by an opaline base dial topped by a sapphire intermediate dial on which the Arabic numerals appear to be floating weightless – a recurrent feature of HAUTLENCE designs. The base dial is composed of several elements, including the large date bridge engraved with the brand name, as well as a central ring bearing the minutes markings. A small opening in the case-back provides a chance to view the regulating organ and the oscillating weight. The back is also engraved with the characteristics of this line: the name “DESTINATION”, the series number, the time zones of 12 main cities, along with technical specifications and the brand-specific inscriptions “HAUTLENCE” and “Horlogerie Suisse”. The hand-sewn, rolled-edge strap is made of square-scale Louisiana alligator leather.

Intended both for brand aficionados and for a more eclectic clientele, DESTINATION is issued in numbered, non-limited series. It comes in four versions:
Destination 01: opaline black dial with “Clous de Paris” hobnail motif, sapphire intermediate dial, steel case with black DLC coating and 18-carat 5N red gold
Destination 02: opaline silver-toned and honeycomb-motif dial, intermediate sapphire dial, grade 5 titanium case
Destination 03: opaline black and honeycomb-motif dial, sapphire intermediate dial, steel case with black DLC coating
Destination 04: opaline brown dial with “Clous de Paris” hobnail motif, sapphire intermediate dial, titanium case with brown DLC coating and 18-carat 5N red gold
HAUTLENCE, designer d’horlogerie contemporaine

Founded in 2004, HAUTLENCE – of which the name itself is an anagram of Neuchâtel – pays tribute to the birthplace of watchmaking. By giving fresh momentum to the art of horology, the brand has earned the recognition of watch collectors and devotees the world over.

LABELLED “HORLOGERIE SUISSE”
HAUTLENCE timepieces are designed and produced in keeping with the finest Swiss watchmaking traditions and are stamped on the case-back with the inscription “Horlogerie Suisse”. Apart from the straps, certain high-tech parts and the sapphire crystals, all parts are indeed developed, produced, decorated and assembled in Switzerland, including 90% in Canton Neuchâtel.

Ценник на модели линейки от 18,5 до 27,8 тыс. евро (с НДС).

У них раньше скидки были довольно большие. А на вторичке можно вообще поймать за копейки.

Как дела у моделей Destination с механизмами обстоят, частых поломок нет и проблем с обслуживать в России?
