Here are some highlights that will be on display in Bavaria\u2019s capital this weekend.<\/p>\n

Orient Star <\/h2>\n

The traditional Japanese brand Orient<\/a><\/strong> is building on the success of the Diver 1964 1st Edition<\/strong>, which was relaunched two years ago to mark the company\u2019s 70th anniversary and is based on the Olympia Calendar Diver from the 1960s. Thanks to its screw-in case back and screw-down crown, the diver\u2019s watch, which has been tested according to ISO 6425, is pressure-resistant to 20 bars. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Limited to only 900 pieces, the edition comes with a silver dial, protected by a sapphire crystal, with three-dimensional luminescent indexes and arrow-shaped hands. The hand-wound movement of the 1964 original model has been replaced by the modern-day self-winding caliber F6N47, which provides a 50-hour power reserve and an indicator to show the power reserve\u2019s remaining running time. The Diver 1964 1st Edition is fitted with a metal bracelet equipped with a push button, security latch and diver\u2019s extension. <\/p>\n

Pricing for the Orient Diver 1964 1st Edition is marked at approximately $1,450 when converted to USD.<\/p>\n

Alexander Shorokhoff<\/h2>\n

Southern German brand Alexander Shorokhoff<\/strong><\/a>, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, introduces its popular Vintage 7 <\/strong>in a limited edition in trendy green. With its extraordinary dial design featuring the brand typical huge \u201c60\u201d, an inner hour circle and leaf-shaped hands, it certainly lives up to its name. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The self-winding Poljot caliber 2616 inside is a genuine original from the sixties. It has been completely disassembled, engraved, refined, newly lubricated, assembled, and adjusted at Alexander Shorokhoff before being encased as a horological gem into the 39.5 mm steel case with see-through case back. <\/p>\n

Pricing for the Alexander Shorokhoff Vintage 7 is marked at approximately $1,280 when converted to USD.<\/p>\n

Herbelin<\/h2>\n

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the collection last year, the French brand Herbelin<\/strong> presented the popular Newport Automatic Chrono<\/strong> in a limited edition with a design inspired by stealth ships. Now it arrives with a new dress code subtly combining black and dark blue shades. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The collection\u2019s typical round stainless-steel case has a diameter of 43.5 mm and a water resistance of 100 meters. It is fitted with a five-screw bezel and frames a black dial with a classic tricompax layout, from which the faceted indexes and rhodium-plated hands stand out clearly. Beating inside is the automatic Sellita SW510 with 62 hours of power reserve. The black leather strap with its blue stitching complements the elegant colorway. <\/p>\n

Pricing for the Herbelin Newport Automatic Chrono is marked at approximately $2,700 when converted to USD.<\/p>\n

Elka Watch<\/h2>\n

Elka Watch<\/strong>, the new old name, debuted on the Swiss market last year. By chance, the company\u2019s founder Hakim El Kadiri had come across a Dutch watch brand of the same name that had been very successful in the sixties: Eduard Louis Kiek from Amsterdam. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Elka\u2019s modern-day collections pay homage to this brand and the zeitgeist<\/em> of that era. The beautifully shaped, notably flat case of the Elka D Series<\/strong> is inspired by old pocket watches and reminiscent of a pebble. The purity and elegance of the dial is highlighted by striking colors and a fine sunray finish. The box-style sapphire crystal further accentuates the subtle retro appeal. The Elka D Series is powered by an automatic movement from La Joux-Perret with a 68-hour power reserve. <\/p>\n

Pricing for the Elka D Series is marked at approximately $1,800 when converted to USD.<\/p>\n

MeisterSinger<\/h2>\n

As a nod to the history of timekeeping and a tribute to the brand\u2019s 20th<\/sup> anniversary, MeisterSinger<\/a><\/strong> introduced the magnificent Bell Hora<\/strong> with a sonnerie au passage <\/em>function. This rare function earned the single-hand timepiece that chimes the passage of the hour even a nomination for the GPGH in the fall of 2021 and a Red Dot award. Taking its inspiration from traditional clock towers, it produces just a single chime at the top of each hour, unlike a repeater complication that announces the exact hour through the matching number of chimes. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

At the heart of this complication is a module with a strike mechanism that is produced by MeisterSinger and added to the SW 200 base caliber. The automatic movement ticks behind an intriguing vintage-style dial that is now available in a medium blue iteration with gold-colored elements. <\/p>\n

The MeisterSinger Bell Hora is equipped with a leather strap and retails for approximately $4,500 when converted to USD.<\/p>\n
