Baselworld 2015: New Hamilton Ventura “Elvis80” and Worldtimer Chrono (Updated with Live Photos)
Among the new Hamilton watches released at the world’s biggest watch fair this week: the Hamilton Ventura Elvis80, in honor of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s 80th birthday; and the Hamilton Chrono Worldtimer, an aviator-friendly new world-time watch.Elvis Presley �� who would have turned 80 years old this year, on January 8 �� famously wore a Hamilton Ventura watch in the 1961 movie Blue Hawaii. Afterward, that timepiece, which was introduced in 1957 as the world’s first “electric watch” and distinguished by its avant-garde triangular case, became widely known as the “Elvis watch.” Hamilton’s new version of the Ventura embraces its connection with the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, and even includes a nod to the 80th-birthday motif: Hamilton has outfitted it with the recently introduced Hamilton H-10 movement, which carries an estimable power reserve of 80 hours.The Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 carries all of the classic Ventura de

One can always expect beautiful artistic watch creations from Van Cleef & Arpels each year at SIHH. Not that any of the watches are affordable to the lay person. For examples these models are all in platinum. They are highly primed for visual appreciation. Of the 2010's new collections from Van Cleef & Arpels is the Midnight Extraordinary Series.

Basel predictions???
Hello all,Any ideas for Patek's revelations at Basel?I've heard through a reputable source that there will be a replacement for the 5131 coming out.Other than that it's anyone's guess. I don't think much will happen in Calatrava because they did a big push in 2013 with 5227's although possibly something with the 5196.
