Baselworld 2014

Gizmag managed to get up close and personal with the very latest in wrist bling at Baselworld 2014. Join us for a look through some show favorites.

Victorinox is launching a limited Titanium edition of its Dive Master 500 divers watch to celebrate 25 years of watchmaking. The new watch brings a mechanical chronograph movement to the collection, and features a generous helping of luminous markers in two different colors.

London's Graff Diamonds has unveiled The Hallucination ladies wristwatch at Baselworld 2014. The $55 million timepiece features over 110 carats of colored diamonds.

French watch maker Bernard Richards Manufacture already has three "world's lightest watch" trophies in its cabinet, and has now added a fourth. The V6-44-MK joined its featherweight siblings at Baselworld 2014, and Gizmag managed to get a closer look at the sporty quartet.

The Christophe Claret Maestoso showcased at Baselworld 2014 uses a detent escapement – a movement of remarkable accuracy that’s almost impossible to install in a watch.

At Baselworld 2014, we recently spied TAG Heuer's Monaco V4 Tourbillon. It's reportedly the first watch to ever feature a belt-drive tourbillon complication.

Building on the success of its Cookoo "connected complication" that combined analog movement with a connected digital display, Hong Kong's ConnecteDevice has released two versions of a new Cogito model – a Classic dress watch and a fun-loving design named Pop.

In a fusing of the 21st and the 18th centuries, Christophe Claret takes a page out of the golden age of automata and turns "he loves me, he love me not" into a miniature automaton version that fits into a lady’s wristwatch.

The Earth and Moon are, we’re reliably informed, three-dimensional, so why should the Moon-phase dial on your upmarket wristwatch be flat? Swiss watchmaker Vicenterra's Luna volume 1 addresses this, showing the Earth and Moon as rotating three-dimensional spheres as part of its set of complications.

Victorinox Swiss Army has launched a new watch collection at this year's Baselworld in Switzerland. The rugged companion for life Inox watch has undergone over a hundred toughness tests, including being run over by a tank, dropped onto concrete, and thrown into the middle of a sandstorm.

We got a look at Swiss watch maker Antoine Martin’s Tourbillon Astronomique watch at Baselworld this week, which can not only tell what time the Sun will rise and set at, but even has a few tricks that you won’t find at the app store.

The Baselworld 2014 watch show officially starts tomorrow in Basel, Switzerland, but Gizmag has already spotted a pretty special-looking watch on the trade show floor. The Bifrost Isblå features a dial made from what the company describes as "high-contrast" pattern-welded stainless Damascus steel.
