Franck Muller 900S6 Water-resistance

Introduced at Baselworld 2010, the Blancpain Carrousel Sapphire is quite a remarkable timepiece. It features a rose gold case having a sapphire crystal about the front, back as well as on both sides of the case. It even includes a sapphire crystal in place of the plates and dial, which creates the illusion that the movement is floating within the case. D&G DW0119 watch looks great personally. Another key feature, is the carrousel movement (a "carrousel" improves accuracy by negating gravity's effects, similar to a tourbillon).
Parmigiani Fleurier just introduced a new version of their popular Tonda Hemisphere timepiece. Like the previous versions, this one has a dual time zone (GMT) feature. Both timezones are fully visible, at a glance, including minutes and hours. In D&GD W0119 addition, each has its day/night indicator. Addititionally there is an exposed date window, that allows you to see three days at a time. Two crowns control the separate time zones, and the main crown also allows you to wind the timepiece and hang the date. All new on this model, is a partially skeletonized dial. You can observe some of the gears and screws, which provides it a very appealing look.
The silver inner circle about the dial is metal, and is carried out with Geneva stripes, further adding to the dial aesthetics. The only other big change, may be the blue color scheme, including a blue Hermes crocodile strap.The situation is fully polished stainless steel and it is 42 mm in diameter. Inside is a in-house automatic calibre. Franck Muller 900S6 Water-resistance is 50 meters.Retail $15,000 (estimated)Source: Parmigiani Fleurier A carrousel movement is extremely hard to produce, and very rare. Accordingly, the cost is what you would pay for a tourbillon, or more. Retail: $240,000Source: Blancpain
