18 www.thejewelrybook.com The Ralph Lauren Slim Classique 32mm Ralph Lauren watches are really coming on strong in the horological world, particularly with women wanting a watch that isn't over-embellished in dia- monds or too decorative for its own good. This Slim Classique by Ralph Lauren has an 18K rose gold 32mm case for women who have gone back to smaller sized watches, and its translucent purple lacquered dial with Roman numerals and central guilloché décor gives it a regal feel and vibrant tone that stands out against its sleek black alligator strap. The Imperiale Joaillerie Améthyste by Chopard "Is it a watch or a piece of jewellery?" This was the question posed by the brand when they introduced the violet-hued Imperiale Joaillerie Améthyste at the 2013 edition of Baselworld in Switzerland, and with good reason. Available in 18K white gold, this intricately-set be- jeweled timepiece comprises varying shades of ba- guette cut amethysts, as well as both baguette and brilliant cut diamonds which beautifully decorate the 40mm case and offer a striking enhancement to the watch's mother-of-pearl dial and perfectly placed amethyst hour markers. The MB&F Horological Machine N°6, "Alien Nation" Fear not, men who are comfortable enough to wear purple! We've got a watch for you, too! It's big! It's fun! And it looks like a spaceship with an alien driving it! After previously releasing two unmanned versions of the HM6 – the Space Pirate and Sapphire Vision – Maximilian Büsser decided it was time to put someone in the driver's seat. The case, which is 100% transparent and formed completely out of sapphire crystal with reinforcing elements in Grade-5 titanium, houses the extraordinary HM6 self-winding (yet self-regulating) fl ying tourbillon "engine" co-developed over a three-year period with David Candaux of David Candaux Horloge- rie Créative. But when the lights go down, that's when Alien Nation shows its true glow through its surrounding bright purple accents of AGT (Ambient Glow Technology) lume fi rst introduced to the watchmaking community by James "Black Badger" Thompson. Hope you enjoy these four phenomenal timepieces for what we hope will be one phenomenal year!
