Mexico City, August 12, 2015 – The Latin American upscale market, especially the market for haute horlogerie, has proven relevant for many of the big brands and groups. Some of them have opted for the opening of new boutiques in countries such as Argentina or Brazil, or increasing their presence in destinations such as Colombia, Uruguay, or Peru. Mexico, however, has always been the gateway to the entire region.

The exponential growth of the luxury market in Mexico is the background for the launch of the new Spanish-language title, WatchTime Mexico. Edited in the United States, WatchTime USA is part of the Ebner Media Group, one of the most prominent publishers in Germany, which publishes several titles that specialize in fine watches, including the German-language magazines Uhren and Chronos, as well as the watch-enthusiast website, Watch-Insider.com.

With the support of Bemena Media, a leading video producer in Mexico, and Mexico News Network, an international news agency based in Cancun, Quintana Roo, WatchTime Mexico hits the market in October 2015, under the editorship of one of the most respected watch journalists in Mexico, Alejandro Estrada.

Naturally, in order to oversee the content and guarantee the best editorial strategies, Joe Thompson, editor in chief of WatchTime USA, and Dominik Grau, chief innovation officer of Ebner Media Group, will work closely with the executive team in Mexico.

The launch of the first quarterly issue of WatchTime Mexico will occur simultaneously with that of a YouTube channel devoted to the magazine and an online presence in the social networks Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The complex media structure that will accompany the title from its very beginning represents the increasing importance of digital media in Mexico as well as throughout the world.

Today, WatchTime editions are available in the United States, the Middle East, and India, along with a Portuguese-language website in Brazil, watchtimebrasil.com/br. The release of this new editions marks the first version of WatchTime in Spanish, and the first to target the fast-growing Mexican luxury market.

Not even the average German knows where Glashütte is located, yet this beautiful, hidden gem is one of the capitals of watchmaking. Once a small mining village, Glashütte stumbled upon haute horlogerie by accident, but then held on to this art – and today has firmly established its reputation among collectors, thanks to brands such as A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte Original, Nomos, Mühle, Tutima, Moritz Grossmann, among many others. From November 25 to November 28, WatchTime will open the guarded manufacture gates for you: join us for a unique opportunity to meet the brands and their watchmakers, enjoy the experience Glashütte like no one else. We will visit A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte Original, Nomos, and Tutima.

With the introduction of its new antimagnetic technology in 2013, Omega set a new standard in the fight against the effects of magnetic fields on a watch movement. The concept debuted in the Seamaster Aqua Terra >15,000 Gauss. At that watch’s launch, Omega announced its intention to incorporate the technology into all watches equipped with co-axial escapements. The new, vintage-inspired Omega Seamaster 300, which was introduced at last year’s Baselworld watch fair, is among those models.

WatchTime’s test of the Seamaster 300 includes complete specs on the watch and scores in various criteria, as well as original photos and insider information about this retro-styled Omega dive watch.

This full-length watch review of the Omega Seamaster 300 is the cover story of the upcoming May/June issue of WatchTime, on sale May 19. For those who don’t want to wait for the print issue, WatchTime is now offering the complete article — including all specs and scores— as a special, downloadable edition for $2.99.

The first Rolex Sea-Dweller debuted in 1967 as the Sea-Dweller Submariner 2000. It was styled after the iconic Rolex Submariner, which had been introduced in 1953, but the Sea-Dweller had a thicker case and a helium-escape valve. The Sea-Dweller ultimately reached a 4,000-foot (1,220-meter) depth rating before it was replaced in 2008 with the Rolex Deepsea, which is rated to 3,900 meters. Last year, due to popular request, Rolex brought the Sea-Dweller back, calling it the Sea-Dweller 4000 and adding a number of new features.

The experts at WatchTime put the new model through its paces in this comprehensive feature article, which includes complete specs on the watch and scores in various criteria, as well as original photos and insider information about this modern Rolex dive watch.

This full-length watch test feature of the Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 is the cover story of the upcoming March/April issue of WatchTime, on sale March 24. For those who don’t want to wait for the print issue, WatchTime is now offering the complete article — including all specs and scores— as a special, downloadable edition for $2.99.
