FC Bayern Munich, the world-famous city of Munich, selected the EBEL watch brand as his strategic alliance in 2008. In June 2007, the watch brand announced his cooperation with Arsenal FC, another leading European football club, and he is making steady progress in the football world.
Thomas van der Kallen, CEO of Ebel Ebel Watches, Loek Oprinsen, Executive Chairman of Nordic Europe, and Chairperson Karl Karl-Heinz Rummenigge of FC Bayern Munich’s Executive Committee of the Bayern Munich Club recently held a press conference in Munich to officially announce their The cooperation began on July 1, 2008 and will continue for five years. As the official timer of FC Bayern Munich, EBEL will be responsible for all timing of the home game. EBEL will also provide fans with a time display in the Allianz Arena. At the same time, in the club, the watch brand will also bring new time display, especially in VIP boxes and executive boxes.

Thomas van der Kallen is very pleased with this new collaboration, noting that ‘last year our cooperation with Arsenal FC Arsenal achieved the first union with football. FC Bayern Munich is the undisputed leader in football ‘The cooperation with FC Bayern Munich means we have entered an important decisive phase in the football world.’
Only work with elite partners
EBEL’s strategic vision in football is to unite only with the elites and most prestigious clubs recognized in European football, rather than simply picking a football team. Both FC Bayern Munich and Arsenal FC Arsenal FC meet the basic principle of excellence and combativeness, and both have an extraordinary history (up to a century). Both clubs have been in the past, and they are still the most popular winning titles in their respective championships. At the same time, their supreme influence is not limited to the football field. More importantly, they are all committed to building the best sports values, such as respect for noble traditions and perfection of skills. This coincides with the values ​​in the blood of EBEL Ebel Watch. It is this value that leads Ebel Ebel Watch to success in the art of watch manufacturing, and also promotes the cooperation between Ebel Ebel Watch and football club.

Limited edition watch specially launched for football
In honor of the union between this high-precision watch maker and sports brand, EBEL decided to launch a very special and unique watch for football. The watchmakers at EBEL did not make too many superficial articles. Instead, they spent a lot of time and energy developing a unique movement, which was specially designed for football: Calibre 245. The movement is developed, assembled and tested in the La Chaux-de-Fonds workshop at EBEL. He is very suitable for football, because he not only counts the second half of each game (here, the movement’s name is 245 for 2X45 minutes), but also can indicate the stoppage time. The oversized 45-minute timer shows how much time has passed. The new football movement will be used in a new watch of the 1911 series. This watch will be available in limited quantities.

The Ovale watch series is an innovative journey of Parmigiani, and this watch, like many other models, originates from the restored watch. The oval antique pocket watch created by the British jeweller Vardon & Stedman with retractable hands is a true heritage of watchmaking. It was restored in 1997 at Parmigiani in Fleurier. The design of this pocket watch is wild: charming ovals and magical complications. Two retractable hands can be extended along the oval contour of the case. When passing through a number of time scales, it shows the passage of time. With the little-known complex device of the scaler, this pocket watch seems to have life, telling us the secret of time.

The highlight of the new Ovale Pantographe is undoubtedly the complex device of the scaler that controls the zoom of the hands and represents the passage of time vividly

The new Ovale watch and the prestigious scaler complex represent two iconic features of Parmigiani. First of all, the brand’s complete independence, which is reflected in its vertical production facilities, and enables Parmigiani to remanufactured truly unique large and complex device components and create shapes that are most faithful to the original. The second characteristic is the inseparable connection between Parmigiani and the restoration of watches and clocks. The extraordinary timepieces made by the predecessors are an invaluable combination of knowledge and craftsmanship, telling us the importance of superb craftsmanship and providing an inexhaustible source of inspiration for contemporary watches. Just like oval antique pocket watches and its modern models, Parmigiani’s restoration work is an ongoing dialogue between historical masterpieces and future watchmaking explorations.
Scaler complex
The highlight of this new Ovale Pantographe is undoubtedly the complex device of the scaler that controls the zoom of the hands and represents the passage of time vividly. The pointer is mounted on the scaler, a device that gives it a telescopic function, and uses the principle of the length x to specify the coefficient to achieve movement at the farther or closer points of the ellipse. At the specific mechanical level, the cam located in the center of the movement determines the length of the entire hand and will stretch X times. In other words, this central cam measurement provides the information needed to move the hands and adjust the length of the hands according to the contour of the dial. This orbit and telescope have been carefully calculated to form a perfect, harmonious ellipse for the movement of the pointer. In addition, computer simulations ensure that the minute hand will never be shorter than the hour hand after the telescope, that is, there will be no confusion such as 12:15 and 3 o’clock.

 The basic movement used by Ovale Pantographe is the earliest movement created by the Parmigiani brand: the PF110 movement specially designed for the Hebdomadaire series. With the advent of retractable pointer modules, a new movement called PF111 combines a retractor on a manually wound movement with an 8-day power reserve

The beauty of the oval
The new Parmigiani Ovale watch series comes in several models, but all come with a unique oval case component. Michelle. Mr. Parmigiani and his team have conducted extensive research to design a perfect oval that is harmoniously proportioned and ergonomic. The main challenge in the research and development process is how to inject masculine temperament into this rounded case with feminine femininity. The oval watch series also achieves a perfect balance in gender, which is due to a number of key decisions in appearance.

Ovale Pantographe is available in rose and platinum

The first is to choose the oval shape. This decision avoids a pure oval like the handle of a basket, for example, an oval that stretches outward and looks more masculine. Afterwards, the ideal ratio must be determined between the watch case components and the bezel so that it can echo the relatively thick profile of the watch. To this end, we found a dividing line between the two major parts, creating an elegant image with sufficient height, adding a finishing touch to the rounded shape. In the end, the product has a sharp appearance through the orderly chamfering of the surfaces. This process is used to create angles and straighten rounded lines, and the resulting light effect creates a sharp look, injecting masculinity into Sona. The watch uses the same design logic as the Bugatti Supersport watch. This round watch also adds straight lines and angles, creating a light effect that makes the product more refined and gives it a masculinity. Therefore, like a telescopic pointer, the design of the Ovale series is a delicate and balanced combination of arcs and straight lines, reflecting the harmonious beauty of various styles and pretentious elegance.

The Montblanc 4810 series debuted in 2006 and is the brand’s best-selling work. This year, on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the brand, Montblanc follows the essence of the series and celebrates this century with the new 4810 series. The new collection respects the brand’s exquisite and long-standing watchmaking tradition, presents an outstanding, elegant and sporty design. It reinterprets the popular 4810 series with advanced complication watches, providing modern travelers with reliable and accurate timepieces.
 In 1906, at a time when manufacturing was booming, three visionary manufacturing pioneers—engineer August Eberstein, businessman Alfred Nehemias, and stationery entrepreneur Claus Voß—come to the United States to prepare for a grand vision. They invented a writing instrument using leak-proof technology and a piston converter. Engineer Eberstein is extremely visionary and has been studying micro-machine innovations in the United States and Britain for many years. His unremitting pursuit of outstanding performance, innovation and perfect quality has become the core spirit and driving force of Montblanc. The entrepreneur, Claus Voß, is very business-minded and actively pursues innovative technologies with unique development potential. By chance, Claus and Eberstein knew each other. He immediately noticed Eberstein’s engineering creativity and passion, and was convinced that he would become his best partner to complete the blueprint for the enterprise.

 In 1910, the three founders borrowed the name of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe, and officially named the company Montblanc, symbolizing the unremitting pursuit of the highest quality. This dedication to perfect quality has enabled Montblanc to continue to create masterpieces, explore inspiration and develop advanced craftsmanship, and has become the core value and driving force of the brand since its establishment. Mont Blanc has an altitude of 4810 meters, and this number has always been regarded as a symbol of the brand. Today, the new 4810 series has given this number a new lease of life, symbolizing the brand’s founder’s pursuit of excellence when he started this wonderful journey 110 years ago.
 The early 20th century was a golden development moment for reform and innovation. This period marked the beginning of a new horizon, especially the transatlantic transportation that promoted the development of international business and cultural relations. Thanks to many revolutionary new inventions, such as the rise of ship steam engines and advances in navigation methods, the development of maritime transport has achieved a huge breakthrough. Passenger routes compete for the prestigious Trans-Atlantic Grand Prix-the Blue Ribbon Award. Taking into account the different routes of transoceanic vessels, the awards are based on average speed and are based on the fastest speed when traveling west along the challenging Gulf Stream. This award has attracted passengers and shipping companies seeking the fastest and strongest ships. The blue ribbon has thus become a symbol of honor and highest achievement. Its spirit is carried forward in the new Montblanc 4810 series, demonstrating top performance and excellent timepiece quality.

 In this pioneering era, major port cities have entered the most vigorous development period and become the central hub for trade, cultural exchanges and reform and innovation. Hamburg Port is one of them. As Germany’s largest port, the Port of Hamburg was quickly hailed as Germany’s ‘gateway to the world.’ As a result, Hamburg’s international trade has developed vigorously, and has become Germany’s independent luxury ocean-going passenger ship manufacturing site. The ships it built were quickly recognized and regarded as the world’s most important modern carrier ships. Montblanc is firmly rooted in this era of great change, and launched the new Montblanc 4810 series with both technology and aesthetics to commemorate this important period.
 To celebrate the 110th anniversary of the brand and commemorate the golden age that gave birth to its growth, Montblanc has launched a number of unique new 4810 series timepieces, and launched three self-developed complex function movements, namely external tourbillon stop seconds movements. MB 29.21, Shuangfei chronograph movement MB LL100.1 and World Time movement MB 29.20.
 Each 4810 series timepiece follows the brand’s elegant and rich design guidelines. The characteristic carved dial is decorated with a striking Montblanc white star pattern, rose gold Roman numerals and hour markers, a large case, and a beautifully designed sword shape. Openwork hands. The extreme pursuit of details has given this series a new look, showing that Montblanc adheres to the ‘share of passion for fine watchmaking’, and provides watch lovers around the world with advanced sophisticated functions, perfect quality and aesthetic value Timepiece masterpiece.
Montblanc External Tourbillon Slim Watch
 The new Montblanc external tourbillon ultra-thin watch as the 110th anniversary of the great contribution, the brand patented external tourbillon complex features, while equipped with a quick stop seconds device. Compared with the traditional tourbillon structure, the external tourbillon has better performance. First, the external tourbillon frame is separated from the balance wheel. Second, the frame weight is extremely small, so more accurate timing and better isochronism can be obtained. Sex. Among them, this structure has 4 adjustable gold screws and 14 fixing screws, and the diameter of these 18 screws is only 9.7 mm, which plays a very important role for the balance wheel, which makes precision and traditional watchmaking technology obtain Further improvement.
 The barrel is built into the main splint and has a 50-hour power reserve. Its position in the movement structure demonstrates the high-level R & D and testing capabilities that pursue the best balance between the barrel, the rotor and the balance wheel during the watchmaking process.
 The external tourbillon self-winding movement MB 29.21 is equipped with a new micro-oscillator decorated with a fan-shaped “Geneva ripple” pattern. The sapphire crystal back cover gives a clear overview of the movement structure, while the traditional rotor usually covers half of the movement. In addition, the entire movement structure is only 4.5 mm high, showing the extraordinary quality of its complex technology.
 The tourbillon frame displays the seconds with a red arrow and is equipped with a practical quick stop seconds device. The function of the device is closely related to the design of the brake lever. The brake lever stops the large screw balance with 18 screws and restarts whenever necessary. In order to obtain the correct angle of the end of the brake lever, the designer delves into the best geometry and dynamics, so that the user can set the time to the second, ensuring that the movement is restarted immediately. Without affecting the tourbillon frame, the quick stop seconds device can stop the balance wheel instantly, so it can prevent the balance wheel from continuing to swing and affect the accuracy of the watch. All functions and operations can be controlled by the crown at 3 o’clock, and the dial on the dial can tell the wearer the corresponding position of the crown setting: position 1 is used to wind the movement, and position 2 is used to set Time and quick stop seconds device.
 The new 4810 series uses a 42 mm case with a slightly larger diameter and a total height of 10.14 mm. The case has been meticulously adjusted in the design, such as a thinner bezel and a satin finish in the middle. Other design improvements include a chamfered finish at the vertical top, which forms a perfect arc at the bottom to ensure better wrist comfort and a more refined look.
 The upper part of the silver-white dial is decorated with a striking Montblanc hexagonal white star engraved design, and the lower part is a ‘Geneva ripple’ pattern, which sets off the delicate external tourbillon structure at 6 o’clock. The dial is exquisite and noble, with elegant rose gold-plated Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands covered with white Super LumiNova® non-radioluminescent material, which is extremely legible even in the dark. A special minute scale is added to the outer ring of the dial. The red number ’60’ is at 12 o’clock, making it easy for the wearer to read the hour.
 Montblanc 4810 series ultra-thin external tourbillon watch, with black alligator leather strap, contrasts with warm rose gold case and rose gold inlay details on the dial. This watch has passed the rigorous 500-hour quality test of the Montblanc laboratory, and has carried out more than 500 hours of real-life simulations.
