Channeling the ferocious and fantastical spirit of motor racing for 2017, Azimuth rolls out the Gran Turismo, a statement-making timepiece that oozes contemporary charm while paying tribute to the iconic four-wheelers of yesteryear. A sculptural work of art, the Azimuth Gran Turismo is distinguished by a wholly unique case, flaunting curves that recall the profile of vintage cars, sharing the same design blueprint as its predecessor, the Twin Turbo, which was launched in 2016. Testing the aesthetic and technical limits of automobile-inspired watches, the Azimuth GT case silhouette references the curvaceous bonnets of retro Porsche 911s from the 1960s. Elsewhere, the Gran Turismo’s striking dial – positioned at an inclined angle to allow drivers to easily check the time while on the road – is a nod to the larger-than-life speedometer displays found on Mini Cooper dashboards.  Further accentuating the throwback and sporty demeanour of the Gran Turismo are two decorative air vents that flank the dial, and ribbed leather straps with contrast stitching that matches the case and dial accents, which takes inspiration from the leather upholstery of 1970s supercars. The Azimuth Gran Turismo is a perfect example of us going deep into the world of motorsports, looking back into its past and imbuing it with a sense of futurism to offer watch lovers a watch that is truly unique and distinctive. The undulating and voluminous profile is a sight to behold, and cranking up on style quotient, the case comes in four dashing colour options that span the sophisticated to the flamboyant. Featuring polished stainless steel, gold sandblasted PVD, electric blue sandblasted PVD and hyper cool military camouflage PVD treatments, each colour execution comes in a limited edition. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 100 pieces available worldwide Case size: 50mm (width) x 54mm (length) Case material: 316L stainless steel, urban camouflage Case back: 316L stainless steel Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: ETA2671 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Black Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 3ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Calf Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle Features: Hour indication on disc, minute and second hands Warranty: 2 years

An off-kilter creation for the soul hungry for speed, adventure and freedom, the Azimuth Crazy Rider does not disappoint through its offering of motoring pizzazz. The first thing that strikes you about the watch is its unusual case. Constructed to resemble a motorcycle engine, the case’s asymmetrical, infinity symbol-shaped profile sets the tone for the rest of the timepiece. Fitted with a porthole-style bezel with exposed screws, the Azimuth Crazy Rider invites you to peer into its inner workings, akin to looking deep at the cross-section of an engine. A miniature chain circles the center of the dial, aided by open-worked wheels at both ends, this time evoking the look of a motorcycle’s sprocket brake drive system. This ingenious chain transmission design, in fact, drives the hour and minute display. The shorter hour hand traverses along the entire dial, indicating time along a true 24-hour scale.

Revolutionizing travel, the Douglas DC-3 transported passengers with First Class style and became instrumental during the Golden Age of aviation. By blending the sophistication of luxurious travel with minimalist Art Deco design, the Aviator Douglas DC-3 timepiece honors the greatest airplane of its time. In the 1930s, craftsmanship was considered an art form. Minimalistic design fused curved lines and streamlined shapes that were often set into highly polished metals. Design was equal part form and function in the Art Deco era. And the Aviator Douglas DC-3 was no different. Made with premium materials, its sophisticated styling became the blueprint for designing the Douglas model. Drawing inspiration from this legendary aircraft, Aviator incorporated a classic Art Deco design for a genuinely vintage look and feel – one that transports you to a time when innovation and design were exquisitely premium. Designed with intense sunray finishing coupled with a recessed ring and fine concentric circles, its sophisticated Art Deco style is undeniably timeless. Since visibility and readability are key attributes, the Douglas collection unites design and function – from luminescent indicators on every hour along to a clean minimalistic design. The case is comprised of three symmetrical parts: bezel, body case, back case. Hand-finished with fine watchmaking techniques, its rounded curves are inspired by the graceful sophistication of the Douglas aircraft’s fuselage. Its stunning, mirror-polished surfaces are streamlined by ergonomically sleek lines. And its curved lugs exemplify an elegance from yesteryears, while ensuring a proper fit perfect on any wrist. Like all Aviator cases, it requires more than 40 operations to keep up with rigorous itineraries. Crafted from the most premium materials, every Aviator strap is individually developed to share the spirit of the collection. The luxurious, alligator-style leather strap of this timepiece has undergone an extensive tanning process to enhance suppleness and pairs an elegant contrast stitching for added sophistication. It features an easy locking system of the deployment buckle that fastens the strap with one click. To adjust, simply move the buckle forward or backward on the strap. Incorporating the Douglas DC-3 cockpit rudder instrument in its design, the case back emulates the functionality that calculates rudder angles and controls the position of the nose and back of the aircraft. This feature is covered in crystal to protect against scratches and shocks, in addition to providing a comfortable fit on the wrist. Acute details reflecting aviation heritage and fine watchmaking techniques such as these details are inherent in every Aviator Douglas watch. Technical Specifications Case size: 45mm Case material: Rose gold PVD coated polished 316L stainless steel with fibre carbon Case back: Open caseback Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: Sellita SW200-2 Power reserve: Approx 38hrs Dial: Black with applied metal numbers and indices filled with SuperLuminova Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 10ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Black calf Buckle: Stainless steel deployant buckle Warranty: 2 years

With the Alexander Shorokhoff Revolution, Alexander Shorokhov wanted to realize his talent of engineer by showing more art and more “Avantgarde” in his design. At the same time, he was expressing his view to the future. The Revolution's big case of diameter 43.5mm not only gives Alexander Shorokhov space for the movement and the dial; but also makes room for his revolutionary imagination. Continuing his direction of avant-garde art, he completes the free space with geometrical elements such as a square, a pyramid and a sphere; as well as with small movement parts like springs and wheels. These parts are literally floating in free room within the case which is likely to be broken through by the metallic bars. A small bridge with enamel coating in the centre connects the watch with the surrounding space, which otherwise remains free and transparent. The inner rim of the case and the outer edge of the small dial are similar to technical wheels. The aim was to create a feeling for the industrialisation and the heavy change in the lives of the people. The big industry and fine mechanism of watches are connecting with each other perfectly. Both aspects are symbolic for the watches of the Avantgarde-collection by Alexander Shorokhoff – connecting the non-compatible. In this way, place for reflection, thinking over and philosophizing arises. This is what makes this watch interesting, exciting and a real eye catcher. The avant-garde dial with different shapes and colours fits perfectly in with its predecessors in the same family, namely Miss Avantgarde, Plus-Minus and Kandy Avantgarde. The case back is enamelled with further information about the watch. The rotor of the automatic movement is hand-engraved and refined. The new object d’art of the designer and engineer Alexander Shorokhov brings the AvantGarde collection to a new level and reflects his visions of the future. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 100 pieces available worldwide Case size: 43.5mm Case material: Stainless steel Case back: Sapphire crystal Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: AS 2671 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial: Avantgarde-style design with objects and shapes seemingly floating in free space Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Calf Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Features: 3-hand watch Warranty: 2 years

The Alexander Shorokhoff Neva Chronograph is a limited edition of 100 pieces and inspired by the mighty and most water-rich river in Europe - the Neva. This is a 74km long river in Russia, which flows from Lake Ladoga into the Neva Bay of the Baltic Sea, passing through Saint Petersburg. From this inspiration, the wavy guilloché dial was created and can be found in the Alexander Shorokhoff Neva Chronograph - at the upper and somewhat smaller dial, with the hour markers punched out there. The small curved second hand in the shape of the letter “N”, referencing the name of the watch, as well as the magnificence of the city of St Petersburg through its curved shape, is also found in the Alexander Shorokhoff Neva Chronograph. Silver hands create a shiny contrast to the colourful appearance of the dial, making it easier to read the time.  Furthermore, the beautiful automatic chronograph offers the familiar features of the Alexander Shorokhoff AvantGarde line: the large number 60, the silver-coloured “Alexander Shorokhoff” lettering, which this time has been displayed as an application, and a water resistance of up to 5ATM. The 43.5mm stainless steel case houses the hand-engraved and refined 2030.AS (base 2030 Dubouis Depraz) calibre with a hand-engraved and refined rotor. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 100 pieces available worldwide Case size: 43.5mm Case material: Stainless steel Case back: Exhibition caseback with sapphire crystal Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: AS 2030 Power reserve: Approx 41hrs Dial: Blue wavy guilloche dial with silver subdials; silver coloured hands Glass: Sapphire with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Strap Strap material: Light blue calfskin strap Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Warranty: 2 years

The Alexander Shorokhoff Levels gets its name from the different levels of the dial. One level stands for your home time while the next level shows you the local time of the place wherever you are at the moment.On the third level, the Alexander Shorokhoff logo is placed and the fourth level shows the serial number of the watch.All levels are of different heights giving the dial a complexity as you gaze at it.The most important and highest level is placed above the calendar window.There, at an elevated “bridge”, a magnifying glass is positioned in a creative and innovative way in order to enlarge the visibility of the relatively small date display of the refined ETA2671 movement.In this arrangement, the magnifying glass resembles a monocle and underlines the creativity of Alexander Shorokhov, who breaks away from the practice of incorporating the magnifying glass directly into the sapphire front glass. The complete rose gold-plated “skyscraper” construction is built on a guilloched “basement“ in petrol-blue or silver colour, creating contrasts and harmony at the same time. The colours have been selected perfectly. However, for an avant garde artist, it would be too simple and unimaginative to leave it like that.Alexander Shorokhov looks to add something extraordinary to give the watch an inimitable characteristic. By applying a coloured stripe of indefinite form, the artist has succeeded not only in keeping the perfect arrangement but also imparting to the watch the unmistakable trademark of an Alexander Shorokhoff design. Technical Specifications Limited edition: Only 9 pieces available worldwide Case size: 46.5mm Case material: Stainless steel Case back: Stainless steel with 2 circular see-through cut-outs Movement type: Automatic Movement no.: AS 2671 x 2 Power reserve: Approx 42hrs Dial: Silver coloured wavy dial with two guillochéd sub-dials bordered by circular and semicircular rose gold plated appliqués which are applied at two different levels; above the left sub-dial a small rose gold-plated bridge has been vertically fixed by two gold-plated screws holding a magnifying glass for the calendar Glass: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Water resistance: 5ATM Strap type: Leather Strap material: Ostrich Buckle: Stainless steel tang buckle Features: Dual time watch, date Warranty: 2 years
