While summer with its outdoor mood and holiday atmosphere tends to encourage men to go for sporty steel watches or rugged rubber-strap models, autumn and winter offer an ideal chance to complement a more sophisticated, urban look with a gold timepiece adding that little extra touch of elegance to the masculine wrist.

Ebel Classic Hexagon GMT Rose Gold
In addition to the innate refinement of its hexagonal monohull satin-brushed case, five signature screws, fully integrated crown and sloping lugs, the Classic Hexagon GMT Rose Gold watch features a black dial and an eminently readable dual time-zone display distinguished by the exact opposite color code to that of the main dial. The impression of spacious harmony created by the generous 45.4 mm case diameter and 37 mm dial opening is reinforced by the focus on geometrical shapes and the clever play on perspectives. Modern sophistication meets elegant chic in this expression of Ebel’s unique architectural vision. A fine way to recall the warmth of summer and to “travel” – at least in time – to exotic destinations…

1911 BTR Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Rose Gold
The same rosy hue is also featured in the 1911 BTR Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. In a glowing tribute to architectural landmarks such as modern art museums with their large bay windows set amid a metal frame creating a fascinating interplay pattern of glass and steel, the intricate workings of the watch mechanism are revealed through the alternating slate grey and black skeleton dial. Perspective, lighting and volume effects combine to highlight Ebel’s prestigious proprietary Caliber 288 with its 436 parts and double COSC chronometer certification, which may also be admired through the transparent case-back, including the Architects of Time “compass oscillating weight”, a signature of Ebel proprietary calibers.
The 1911 BTR Perpetual Calendar Chronograph provides a comprehensive range of day-of-the-week, month, year and astronomical moon-phase indications thanks to its diamond-polished skeleton hands and matt metallic-coated sapphire crystal counters. Fitted with an alligator leather strap featuring hand-sewn overstitching, this impressive stylistic exercise captures the essence of modern architecture by enshrining the vast expanses of time and space within the limited setting of a watch, making it a truly ‘monumental’ accomplishment. Issued in a limited edition of 200, this stunningly inspired timepiece serves as a fascinating and timely reminder of the infinitely precious nature of time.
