WatchTime’s January-February Issue Is On Sale Now!

• In our cover feature, Jens Koch tests the Transocean Chronograph Unitime, Breitling’s innovative new timepiece that shows the world’s 24 major time zones at a glance, which is powered by a new manufacture movement based on the brand’s groundbreaking Caliber B01. Nik Schölzel provides the breathtaking original photography.

• In “Bigger Still,” technical editor Mike Disher takes a tour of Rolex’s new movement-manufacturing facility in Bienne, Switzerland and offers a behind-the-scenes look at its operations, along with numerous photos.

• In “Buyer Beware,” editor-in-chief Joe Thompson sits down with watch executives and representatives of the American Watch Association to get answers on how to deal with the proliferation of counterfeit watches, with a focus on the risks of buying over the Internet.

• Executive editor Norma Buchanan profiles Piaget and explores its undisputed position as the industry leader in ultra-slim mechanical watch movements in “The King of Thin,” and interviews iconoclastic English watchmaker Peter Speake-Marin in “Independent Trials.”

• Other watches getting the WatchTime once-over include the Roger Dubuis Chronograph La Monegasque (by Alexander Krupp and Schölzel); the Corum Admiral’s Cup Legend 42 Annual Calendar (by Julia Knaut and OK-Photography); and the Montblanc TimeWalker TwinFly Chronograph and Bulgari Gefica (both by Martina Richter and Zuckerfabrik Fotodesign).

• Plus a visual quiz of “Who’s Who in the Watch Industry,” a detailed look at Glashütte Original’s Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon, and other news and tidbits from our “WatchTalk” section.
