The Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar is a very beautiful watch which is both complicated and simple – a contradiction of terms? ….. read on.   The piece is a collaboration between Zenith and the Musée International d’Horlogerie.  Zenth bring to the watchmaker’s bench their high-precision El Primero calibre a highly complex piece of micro engineering, the MIH allow usage of the ingenious, yet supremely simple annual calendar module designed by Ludwig Oechslin, Master Watchmaker and Curator of the Chaux-de-Fonds museum.

Zenith are on a bit of a crest at the moment.  We reported to you last year that recently appointed CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour had trimmed down their portfolio to allow us to rediscover the brand’s traditional values and heritage.  In an industry where very public ill-received changes can bring about a cash-slow crisis, any fresh CEO has to have more that a little courage to complete such an ardous task.  Thankfully in this case “Fortune Favours the Brave”, Zenith are back.

The Annual Calendar is a function which is capable of recognising the variations of each month with the exception of February and is one which will therefore only need adjustment once per year.  In watchmaking, as with many disciplines it is much more of a challenge to simplify a mechanism that to make it more complex.  Ludwig Oechslin’s module uses a simplified disc mechanism comprising only 9 moving parts.  The simple addition of little thorns for months with only 30 days ensures that the disc will jump by two days, resting only briefly on the 31st day before immediately advancing to the 1st.  The day/date aperture changes occur around midnight with the day of week changing soon afterwards, an acceptable compromise as an instant date change would complicate the construction and add to the size and weight of the module.

The piece is presented in the classically styled 42mm Captain watchcase.  On the dial, contrasting finishes – a centre section of guilloché and a broad satin-finished outer rim.  Facetted indices and central hour and minute hands complete the vintage design.  Date apertures are located at 3 o’clock for day and month, with date of month located at 6 o’clock.  Two sub-dials balance the layout, a small seconds at 9 o’clock and chronograph counter above the day date aperture at 6.

Inside is the Zenith El Primero 4054 automatic movement with a power reserve of 50 hours.  Three editions of the Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar will be available, 18-carat rose gold case with silvered dial and stainless steel case with silvered or midnight blue dial each presented on an alligator leather strap.

It looked superb in yellow gold, pink gold enhanced its beauty, it was more than worthy of platinum, but does the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges look good in white gold?  You bet it does.  This is a piece which defines Haute Horlogerie so it matters not what material is used in its construction, that iconic trio of arrow-shaped bridges are a sight to behold especially when showcased in the generous Vintage 1945 case.

The concept of a movement where the bridges for the barrel, gear train and the tourbillon are aligned on the same axis goes back to 1865 when the “Tourbillon sous Trois Ponts d’Or” pocket watch was first presented.  The piece was painstakingly re-awakened in 1981 and ten years later was miniaturised in wristwatch form.  The latest celebratory edition is enclosed in a white gold 36.1mm x 35.25 convex Vintage 1945 case.  Art Deco in style, with distinctive lugs and a well behaved tucked-in crown it is curvy enough to wear comfortably.

On the plain satin brushed dial, the open bridges are rhodium-plated, handcrafted and polished.  The one-minute Tourbillon, also hand-finished comprises of 72 components.  The pink gold rhodium-plated identity plates mirror the shape of the bridges and are engraved with the number and reference of the movement.

Inside is the Girard-Perregaux 9600C Automatic Calibre.  Its ingenious micro-rotor finds a home beneath the barrel ensuring an unspoiled view of the decorated movement and produces an impressive 48 hours of power reserve despite its diminutive size.

The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges in white gold is a limited edition of 50 pieces and comes presented on a black alligator leather strap.

Just released is the Perrelet Turbine Poker watch, a piece which makes very clever use of the brands aeronautical-inspired 12 blade double rotor dial.  A selection of cards are hidden beneath the rotor blades which constantly revolves thus obscuring the cards which will not be revealed until the rotor stops.  Inside is the exclusive P-181 Perrelet Calibre with the double rotor which has been an integral part of the brand’s success since  Perrelet was re-awakened in 1995.  Abraham-Louis Perrelet invented the first automatic winding mechanism in 1777,  so it is befitting that the modern-day Perrelet company are still pioneers in this technology.

So, the  Casino watch – trick or trite?  If you enjoy a little wager every so often isn’t there an “app” for that?  There are many.  But how much more subtle and fiddle-tastic it would be to have a card game or a mini roulette wheel on your wrist.  An inconspicuous way to while away many boring meetings or other such tedious occasions.  Perrelet are not the only brand to experiment with this type of novelty.  Here are a few of the others.

The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon is a very classy way you could enjoy a game of chance.  It recreates a casino gaming machine and even contains an authentic chime mechanism …..

A window at 12 o’clock features a row of three symbols with an exquisite tourbillon on show at 6 o’clock.  The little lever on the case side when pulled spins the three reels which randomly stop at one of a possible five symbols and activates the hammer to strike its little gong.  Could you leave it alone?

Bell & Ross also have a Casino addition to their portfolio, the Bell & Ross BR01 Casino ……

Housed in the chunky 46mm BR01 case the green “0″ is the hour indicator, the moving ball is the minute indicator and the centre disc shows the seconds.  The piece is only available to purchase in casinos around the globe.

Azimuth, founded in 2004 are one of the industry’s most youthful brands so, as you might expect their collection contains some unusual and very modern pieces.  Contained within their portfolio is  The Azimuth Roulette Watch ….

The dice-shaped crown when pressed activates the roulette wheel on the dial and the miniature white ball will land randomly.  Mesmerising, fascinating.  The case measures 45mm x 34mm and on the dial the wheel’s handle serves as a seconds hand.

The most complete, most complicated “gambler’s watch” around has to be the Christophe Claret 21 Blackjack.  Featuring three kinds of games which can be played at will, it is a distracting compendium of entertainment …..

On the lower dial are windows, one for each card dealed, two of which are visible, on the upper dial three windows for the dealer’s cards, one of which is visible.  Activate the push-piece at 9 o’clock and the seven discs on which the cards are printed will revolve then stop randomly.  A full game of blackjack follows including an audible bell to indicate “hit” and one for each time a card is revealed.  On the case back the winding rotor doubles up as a fully functioning roulette wheel which will spin at the flick of the wrist.

On the side of the case at the 4 o’clock are two perfect little dice viewable through a miniature window.  They will move when the watch is shaken – simple, inspired use of space.  The Christophe Claret 21 Blackjack has been selected for the “Design Watch” category in the upcoming Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

Back then to the Perrelet Turbine Casino.  The piece features a 44mm case constructed from stainless steel which has been black DLC stainless steel – perfect to contrast with those white numerals and markers and the red seconds hand, not to mention the black and red colourways of the cards.  It’s a dynamic and distracting dial – therefore the perfect addition to the Turbine Collection.

Jaeger-LeCoultre have just launched a new edition of their Master Geographic with a refreshed dial and a slimmer bezel.  This is a dual time zone watch in the traditional sense, reminiscent of a time when a journey was to be enjoyed, not endured, when long haul actually took a long time – an era when your suitcase had drawers and hanging compartments for your finery.

It takes skillful design to create a watch dial which provides 2 time zone indications, 24 world locations, a date dial and a power reserve display whilst remaining unfussy, elegant and readable.  Jaeger-LeCoultre have the knack.  At first glance the new Master Geographic is a beautiful piece, but as Charles Eames said  “The details are not the details. They make the design” …… wisdom that not only applies to the creation of furniture but also to almost everything else – including timepieces.

At 39mm across the case size is both vintage and on trend for the demand for smaller case sizes in the dress watch category.  The sunburst decorated silvered dial displays local time using the central hour, minute and seconds hand, the latter so long it almost appears to reach out over the very edge of the dial.  A second time zone dial is at 6 o’clock and a disc aperture on the lower dial displays 24 time zone locations.  Using the crown at 10 o’clock the disc revealing these city locations can be advanced, as it does so, the hours of the second time zone subdial follow accordingly – a complication simplified for the user.

A Pointer date … always an eye-pleasing feature … is located at 2 o’clock with a retrograde power reserve at 10 o’clock.  Alongside the second time zone dial is a small day/night indicator.  This is a detailed multi-layered dial, each of the displays are recessed, yet it is one which remains functional and practical.  Inside is the hand-finished 939A Automatic Calibre with 43 hours of power reserve.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Geographic is available in two editions, a steel case version presented on a matt black alligator strap, and an 18 carat pink gold version presented on a matt brown alligator strap.

If you’re a deep sea diver then the watch you choose to strap onto your wrist will not just be an accessory, it will help to keep you alive whilst in the depths.  To do this it has to provide accurate time-elapsed indications, be capable of withstanding extreme pressures and perform with complete reliability – every time you dive.  Fortunately the functions needed to make a watch into a life-prolonging device do not spoil its looks, to the contrary.  Nothing makes an impact quite like a generous case, chunky bezel and a highly legible, uncluttered dial.  The Corum Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive is not just a serious piece of diver’s kit – it’s a looker too.

Admiral’s Cup watches are distinctive even from a distance thanks to their 12-sided case shape.  This one measures a more than ample 48mm across and will rest almost 19mm on your wrist but because of its titanium construction is not in the slightest bit unwieldy.  On the dial everything is readable even in the murky depths, the markers are coated with lume and the hands feature applied “Hyper Luminescent” technology – be in no doubt, this thing will glow.  A small seconds indication appears at 9 o’clock with day and date apertures at 3.  The uni-directional rotating bezel is extremely accurate, to the nearest half minute and on the side of the case at 9.30 is a decompression valve – a horological “anti-bends” mechanism.

Water resistance of the Seafender 48 is to an impressive 1000m, of course many who buy this piece will never push it to its limits, but it’s an impressive feature and perhaps one which you can brag about or just keep to yourself, smug in the knowledge that your watch is a bit better than your mate’s.  Around the back is a solid caseback engraved with a  “Corum 1000 metres” logo.

The latest piece is an up-size of the Seafender 46 unveiled by Corum earlier this year and the brand choose to make two editions available, a 100 piece limited edition with black PVD coated case and contrasting red gold bezel, or my favourite – a 200 piece version with satin finished titanium case featuring orange hour markers, a colour which always looks great on dive watches and one which is synonymous with cult dive watches of the past.  Both new Admiral’s Cup Seafender 48 Deep Dive watches are presented on a Corum sculpted rubber strap with titanium buckle.

This one was released last month, but I can no longer ignore it…. the Hublot Chukker Bang – a Big Bang with the horological equivalent of “bull bars” on its dial, developed in conjunction with Polo star Racundo Pieres.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is, of course the most famous Polo watch.  Eighty years old, its design is both elegant and enduring.  Originally created to protect the watch dial during sporting pursuits such as polo, its flip-over watchcase has become a cult classic.  The Chukker Bang although made to perform the same task, is the antithesis of the JLC – the reverse of the Reverso. Partly obscuring a watch dial with a grille, even if that watch is a Big Bang shouldn’t work, but strangely enough it does.  Hublot’s Big Bang was never a watch designed to be hidden beneath a cuff and this one makes quite an impact.

The piece is designed within the 44mm Big Bang case, this one is constructed from titanium as is the grille so although it may look hefty it will be easy on the wrist.  The matt black dial features lume coated indices and hands, with contrasting red chronograph and minute counter hands.  The bezel is black ceramic with six instantly recognisable Hublot screws made from titanium.  On the side the pushers are steel/rubber and the solid caseback is decorated with “Chukker Bang” engraving.  For a complete transformation the grille can be removed revealing a rather tasty if more reserved watch, the Big Bang always looks its very best when clad in black.

The Polo-inspired design isn’t just superficial inside is the the HUB 1141 Polo Fly-Back Automatic Chronograph movement with a “chukka” counter which will time a 7 minutes 30 seconds period of polo-play.  The central chronograph hand completes its revolution of the dial in 30 seconds, twice the speed of more traditional timers.

The Hublot Chukker Bang comes presented on a black rubber and beige leather strap and will be a limited editon of 500 pieces.  Think something is missing?  Also available is a version with a diamond-set grille.

When a watch manufacture that produces timepieces which are of the highest standard available awards a collection within its own portfolio a special hallmark, then you know that these will indeed be exceptional watches.  A. Lange & Söhne have just released a new edition of the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Tourbillon “Pour le Mérite” Handwerkskunst, the fourth in an exclusive range of handcrafted complicated watches.  The piece, which was first unveiled at SIHH 2011 is now available in a honey gold case version, a material which is twice as hard as yellow gold.

So which to admire – the extrinsics or the intrinsics?  As you might expect, both are superb.  That honey gold case measures 41.9mm across and frames a textured tremblage hand finished dial in the same material.  This is a regulator watch dial with separate displays for the hours, minutes and seconds.  Originally created to provide accurate readability especially in low light, individual display of the functions in this way is synonymous with watches produced in the Glashütte tradition.  The three dials overlap beautifully but the hour dial features an ingenious pivoting segment which disappears between 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock to allow full view of the tourbillon.

Inside is the in-house Lange Calibre L072.1, a manual wind movement with fusée-and-chain transmission which maintains the precision of the movement regardless of how much or how little the spring barrel has been wound.  Also of note is the stop seconds mechanism, a patented device which allows the piece to be set with an astounding one-second accuracy.  Viewable through a sapphire crystal caseback, the movement features a traditional three-quarter plate crafted from German Silver, the untreated plain-ness of which serves to enhance the fine decoration of the fourth wheel bridge.  A diamond endstone cushions the tourbillon bearing.

The town of Glashütte is at the heart of German horology.  It is a relatively small and perhaps curious location for such intensive watch production, Lange are not the only watchmakers in the area, Glashütte Original, Union Glashütte, Nomos and Tutima all have their roots there.  Of these brands, A. Lange & Söhne were the first to be founded.  Ferdinand Adolf Lange was an enterprising individual who, having seen for himself watchmaking at work in Switzerland could see the potential of such an industry within his own local economy.  He had the vision to persuade his Government to invest in the tools and equipment required to begin development and production in the form of low interest loans, thus a new industry was born and the fortune of Glashütte was changed forever.  Richard Lange, son of the founder inherited his father’s passion for watchmaking, particularly with regard to the development of calibres using new methods and technology.  The Richard Lange Tourbillon “Pour le Mérite” Handwerkskunst is named in his honour and will be a limited release of 15 pieces.

Here is the latest release to bear the iconic oval Parmigiani logo.  On the dial which is silver with an opaline rim are chunky Geneva Stripes and graphite chrono counters.  It’s quite a beauty, but with this particular piece never mind the face, it’s all about the case.  The Parmigiani Transforma Chronograph is so-named because it is a timepiece not just for the wrist.   It can also function as a pocketwatch or a clock.

If you are familiar with prestige car marques then you may be aware that Parmigiani and Bugatti enjoy a special relationship, a dalliance which has produced amongst other beautiful creations the Parmigiani Bugatti Tourbillon, a timepiece for which Bugatti’s designers will build bespoke mounts within the dashboard of their 16C, due for release in 2013 – lottery ticket anyone?  Unlike the 4-in-one Bugatti Tourbillon the Transforma Chronograph can accommodate the wearer in 3 situations, more than adequate for the average watch enthusiast.

As you would expect, a transforming wristwatch needs an ingenious watchcase.  For this piece Parmigiani use the 43mm rounded Tonda steel case with the addition of a steel cover or outer case which can be released by pressing two push pieces located on the lower lugs.  Once the cover is removed the piece can be slipped into it’s fob holder to be used as a pocket watch.  A versatility which has been achieved whilst retaining a case thickness of just 12.8mm.

Well worth clearing your desk or bedside table for is the exclusive ebony-wood case into which the Transforma can be placed to perform as a table clock or just to be admired.  The case will also wind the timepiece and it even features three compartments into which the accessories can be safely stored along with some of your other fancy stuff.

The dial features Côtes de Genève decoration with slightly raised chrono counters, with a large date aperture located within the 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock.  At 2 o’clock is a subtle rim-less small seconds dial and at the dial edge is a tachometer scale.  Inside is the PF334 automatic chronograph movement.  The Parmigiani Transforma Chronograph is presented on a black alligator leather strap with deployant buckle.

Almost every watch manufacture in the business have at least one piece somewhere in their portfolio which was not well received, one that didn’t quite come up to standard – an achilles’ heel.  Not so with Jaquet Droz.  Every piece they produce is an art form.  Every piece is exceptional.

The Grande Seconde dial has been synonymous with the Jaquet Droz name since it was first created in 1785.  The hours and minutes appear off-centred at 12 o’clock with a large seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, the two interlock to form the fortuitous number 8.  Around both indications is plenty of dial space framed by an extra thin bezel.  A pure and unique design, highly legible, instantly recognisable and one which Swatch wisely chose not to mess with when they aquired Jaquet Droz in 2001.

New for 2011 is the Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantième.  This is the first time that the brand have introduced a steel watchcase to enclose the Grande Seconde dial and is the premier of two stunning black dials, one of which features fine-brushed finishing on the indications and one which is almost completely ebonized.  A red varnished tip on the pointer hand of the date indication contrasts with these new dials which have been created using an innovative process whereby the metal dial is hand-dipped into a chemical bath until perfection is achieved.

Also available is an opaline dial, silvery white with contrasting blued steel hands.  Inside these remarkable pieces is the Jaquet Droz 266OQZ, a self-winding calibre with two barrels providing a power reserve of 68 hours.  The pieces are each presented on a hand crafted black alligator leather strap.

Corum, established in 1955 are as watch brands go still a youthful brand.  In 1957 one of the first watches they presented was the Précis, a piece very much in keeping with the popular classically styled dress watches of that time.  It came long before the foundations were set for the Corum “Four Pillars”, before they split coins to create watch dials, before the wonderfully wacky seventies feather dials and Rolls Royce avant-garde watches, before the Admiral’s Cup and before the Corum Master Watchmakers designed calibres which were formed into almost impossibly slim baguette forms.  The Précis was one of the building blocks on which the brand was built.  Fitted with a high precision handwound movement, hence its name, the Précis announced to the industry that Corum were going to be a serious contender.  Safely stored away for more than fifty years some calibre components of the 1957 Précis survived and have been used to create the new Grand Précis.  This is a very authentic re-edition of the original.

The piece features a 38.5mm case, a slight up-size from the original 36mm piece, but perfectly proportioned for today’s marketplace.  Inside is the handwound CO162 Calibre, built from original parts with hand finished bridges.  Never owned a manual timepiece?  I’m hardly suprised.  Rotor-kenetics and quartz movements are now so much the norm that a generation have been denied the physical act of winding a watch.  The winding ceremony is one which many would not care for, but for others it is a gratifying way of “staying in touch” with their watch  – for me, both are good but with a manual watch I do find it quite comforting to own something which isn’t actually broken when it stops, and without a big chunky rotor to block the view you have a full-on view of the movement and generally a slimmer calibre.  The Co162 is notable for its extra large balance wheel, built for precision and when fully wound will have a power reserve of 38 hours.

The dial is champagne-toned with a brushed finish, features gold elongated baton markers and hands and the original logo appears beneath the “Corum Key”.  A whisker-slim crosshair divides the dial with another, in miniature forming the small seconds. A watered down version of the snipper-style crosshair has been used to form the small seconds of the Zenith Elite 681 and also by Jaeger-LeCoultre on their Master Hometime but its use on the whole dial of the Précis is subtle, flawless and engaging.

The Corum Grand Précis will be a limited edition of 100 18 carat red gold case pieces and 50 with 18 carat white gold case.  Water resistance is to 30m and the piece comes presented on a black crocodile leather strap.

You’ve often heard it said “Less is More”.  To celebrate a century of watchmaking, Ebel forego the bells, whistles and hoopla of a fussy timepiece, choosing instead to release the understated Ebel Classic 100.

The piece is classic in every sense – 40mm rounded stainless steel case, a trim bezel and flowing lugs.  The silvered dial features a combination of applied and painted whisker-slim elongated hour markers and a perfectly proportioned date window at 3 o’clock.  A blue sweep-seconds hand adds to the vintage appeal of the Classic 100, but what makes the piece special is the use of the vintage Ebel logo.

The caseback of the Ebel Classic 100 is decorated with “Classic 100″ engraving and the watch will be a limited edition of 1911 pieces.

The origins of the company lie with Eugène Blum and Alice Lévy, from whose initials emerged the Ebel name and who first established a watchmaking business in La Chaux-de-Fonds.  Both individuals were accomplished in their fields, Eugène oversaw the porduction of precision movements and Alice was an astute businesswoman with a flair for design.  The brand would continue to be a family concern until 1994, the connection ending with Pierre-Alain Blum, grandson of the founders under whose direction the “Architects of  Time” identity was created and the Ebel Sport Classic with its synonymous “wave” bracelet was first released.

Graham watches have a new ambassador, IndyCar Series driver Graham Rahal.  As Brand ambassadors go, he’s quite a catch – the youngest pole winner in the Series to date, he is a youthful and talented driver.  Graham maybe the son of Bobby Rahal, the CART supremo but he is quickly making a name for himself on the track.  And he is a self-confessed watch enthusiast.

Graham Rahal joins the growing list of  “Graham People” – quite an eclectic mix of individuals.  Ross Brawn F1 maestro times his team to perfection with his Tourbillograph Trackmaster, Mike Tindall leaves his Swordfish in the locker before scrumming down with the England Rugby team, motorcycle roadracer Guy Martin can just about squeeze his Chronofighter beneath his racing leathers and can probably disassemble it too, Jay Kay grooves with his Chronofighter Classic Black and super chef Marco Pierre White?  he will never overcook an egg as long as he’s wearing his rather dapper red gold and black Swordfish PVD Carbide.

Chopard didn’t just tweak the dial design of this year’s Superfast Chrono, they added the horological equivalent of a double overhead cam – a split seconds timer.

Each year Chopard re-design some of the sporty timers in their Classic Racing collection and release them in small series limited editions.  The collection includes the Mille Miglia – the one with the date bubble and Arabic numerals etched onto the crystal, the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique – classically styled, understated and the Superfast Chrono -  vertical go-fast stripes on the dial and a great name.  The Mille Miglia GT XL had a split seconds timer added in 2009, new for 2012 comes the Classic Racing Superfast Chrono Split Second.

The Split Seconds or Rattrapante function has two seconds hands, one of which can be independently stopped to record an intermediate time while the other continues to run, when released, the split seconds hand immediately  catches up with the chrono hand.  Tricky to construct and integrate into the movement and a trick function to have on your wristwatch.  The automatic chronograph calibre on this model is COSC certified and has a power reserve of 42 hours.

It looks good too.  A 45mm blackened DLC case, moulded rubber pushers – red for the split seconds, a vintage steering wheel emblem on the crown, “wheel-nut” screws on the bezel.  On the dial are a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock, an eye-pleasing pointer date at 3 and chrono timers at 12 and 6.  The sweep seconds hand is red, the split seconds hand is white.  The Arabic numerals appear in double digits, on the bezel is a tachymeter scale and the piece is presented on the super-cool Dunlop tyre tread rubber strap.  It’s all good.

The Chopard Classic Racing Superfast Chrono Split Second is a limited edition of 1000 pieces.

Just when you thought that every possible ingenious innovation for the design and presentation of the moonphase watch had been exhausted along comes a piece which is as unique as it is unusual.  Conceived and created by Konstantin Chaykin a Master Watchmaker based in Saint Petersburg, the piece is named Lunokhod in honour of Russia’s pioneering moon rover launched in the seventies.

If it were possible to blend De Bethune’s beautiful little spherical moonphase with Stepan Sarpaneva’s devilishly impure Korona Moonshine then this would be the end product.  Although it is perhaps unfair to compare the Lunokhod to other timepieces because it is quite simply peerless.

The generous 50mm case of the Lunokhod is constructed from wootz, a granular material similar to Damascus steel which historically has been used by master bladesmiths in the manufacture of swords, daggers and other weaponry.  This is a truly manly man’s watch.

In the dial centre is a striking 12mm wootz orb, static but covered with a black rhodium-plated silver mask, the movement of which represents the current phase of the moon.  Time is indicated on a 24 hour semi-circular scale with sun and moon indicators for day and night.  At 6 o’clock is a subdial displaying the minutes.  Substantial lugs frame then overlap the dial to form the lugs.

The movement is a manufactory calibre designed, created and patented by Konstantin Chaykin with hand polishing viewable through an exhibition caseback.  The exceptional Lunokhod comes presented on an ostrich leather strap.
