BASEL2006: Wyler may have winners this year  0 Comments

Published Friday, April 14, 2006 by Harry SK Tan |

 


Wyler Vetta an Italian watch company launched their latest watches at Baselworld. The two new watches are these two - the Chronograph and Big Date with newly designed cases. The cases are either titanium or 18kt rose gold. These watches will have surfaces PVD coated for extra protection.

Power reserve is in excess of 42 hours. It is water resistant to 50 meters. Interestingly, both models feature an inner case in titanium, mounted on 4 visible independent shock absorbers.

This feature is visible in the Titanium model. I personally think that even thought these two watches appear to have taken design cues from other brands like RM, Hublot and AP (esp Montoya ROO), they will have supporters and buyers. While their movements are not horologically significant, I think the design and details make this watch quite handsome and thus desirable for any collection.
