Time for a Sail?

Racing around the isles

The worlds of yachting and timepieces have been merged since, well, the dawn of watch-making. Navigators of the sea have always counted on precise marine chronometers to hold a steady course… the alternative to which may have led to a watery fate.

Today, sailors may be less interested in discovering unseen land as they are racing against the clock. One such example is the 2012 Vic-Maui International Yacht Race, which pits 14 yacht teams against one another on an epic 2,308-nautical-mile course. Beginning in the lush climes of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and ending in Maui’s Lahaina Harbor, yachtsmen will steer their 35- to 50-foot vessels through the treacherous Straights of Juan de Fuca, down past Washington and Oregon states before catching the Pacific high pressure zone somewhere around Northern California then charting out to sea.

The biennial event runs every other year, having started in 1965 when race founder Jim Innes took 15 days make the journey; in 1968, 14 entries competed before a winner entered Lahaina in nine days, two hours and eight minutes.

A second isle favorite is the Sir Thomas Lipton Challenge, which essentially is a Hawai’i-wide race that pits local yachting clubs against each other in a friendly three-day showdown to see who can rack the best times in a best-of-five shootout.

The race first began in 1930 with the namesake’s first bout in Hawaiian waters; currently a single 30-foot (or more) boat from each club is allowed to enter the race that traces a triangle just a few miles offshore. This year’s winner was Capt. Tony Miller from the Hawaii Yacht Club in his Ikaika vessel.

Upbeat at Basel

Here, the World’s Top Watchmakers Showcase Their Latest and Greatest:

BASEL, SWITZERLAND-The annual Baselworld watch and jewelry show this spring in Switzerland wrapped up on a positive note, with luxury watchmakers anticipating a solid year ahead. For eight days, 104,300 visitors streamed into the various exhibition halls that comprise Baselworld to visit top-notch watchmakers such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Hublot, Breitling and the Swatch Group brands.

One of the biggest announcements took place on the evening prior to the launch of the weeklong show, when TAG Heuer held a party to welcome its new brand ambassador, actress Cameron Diaz.

French fashion house Hermès debuted its first in-house movements, the H1837 for men and the H1912 for women. Breitling introduced the first of two in-house movements set for release this year, the Caliber 05, in its new “Transocean Chronograph Unitime.” The next in-house movement, the Caliber 02, released this May. However, TAG Heuer’s introduction of a new female brand ambassador for one of the industry’s biggest brands set the tone perfectly for a show where women’s watches took center stage.

TAG spokespeople announced they would focus on women’s watches in 2012, starting with the new “Link Lady” collection. Hublot introduced the “Tutti Frutti Tourbillon Pave,” its first tourbillon for women. Patek Philippe debuted the “Ladies First Perpetual Calendar,” a first in a women’s watch for the maker.

Another showstopper was Rolex’s unveiling of its highly anticipated Sky-Dweller, complete with dual time zone and annual calendar-a technological first for the brand.

Ed Bridge, president of Ben Bridge Jeweler, has been attending Baselworld for the past 25 years and says the mega event takes over the entire city during that time. “Cruise ships will dock and double as hotels in order to accommodate attendees.”

And although nightly dinners and celeb appearances are happy diversions, seasoned watch buyers know to keep their eyes on the prize. Bridge shares, “You need to be there if you want to get the watches [for your store]; limited-edition timepieces will sell out by the time you make it back to North America.”

Little is actually known about Valentine’s life, outside of his burial on February 14th, which indicates a day of great feasting, as it has for nearly 2,000 years.

And while a fine meal comes and goes (we concede that the rare culinary experience can approach “religious” enlightenment), a classic timepiece transcends gifts of sweet or a scented bouquet.

The gift of time proved great for Saint Valentine: With any luck, bestowing one of these ultra-masculine or feminine pieces of functional jewelry upon your loved one will have equal results.

YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A CHILD to have a stocking. Heck, you don’t need to celebrate Christmas to pin one to your mantle. But you will have a hard time suppressing that child-like giddiness when your significant other places one of these elegant timepieces at the bottom of one. You know. Just beneath the chocolate angels, miniature candy canes and homemade coupons for a foot rub.

Packed with functionality and style, each timepiece is crafted to meet the demands of adventurers and sports enthusiasts who appreciate a good adrenaline rush.

Breitling has been taking to the skies since 1915 when Gaston Breitling created the first wristwatch chronograph, providing pilots with the first wrist-bound instrument. Since then, the Swiss company has introduced incredible contributions with aviation in mind. Further into the stratosphere, the newly released Chronospace Automatic reaches for space and beyond.

From the depths of the sea are Louis Vuitton’s Tambour Diving II Automatic, Omega’s Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph Calibre and Corum’s Admiral’s Cup Seafender 46 Dive. The most extraordinary universe that still brings us treasures from the deep acts as the muse for these pieces.

FOR MANY WATCH ENTHUSIASTS, it’s the complication and material that make a timepiece a must-own. Those criteria, or a variation therein, are then used to create a well-rounded watch collection. But what if you had to choose a special, single piece to launch a family tradition? The notion of passing a timepiece on to your progeny, knowing that it will be passed on again and again, can evoke powerful feelings-and you’ll want to choose something that deserves such an honor.

Some might select a classic look that will stand the test of time; for others, the reputation of a brand known for its quality will be integral. Or, quite simply, sentimental value may elevate one piece above all others.

Here are some excellent choices from this year, each worthy of future generations.

A Look at the Most Beautiful Timepieces from Around the Globe

THE SPOTLIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON SWITZERLAND for maintaining the lead in time accuracy and movement reliability. In the 1980s, Japan’s quartz timepieces emerged, encouraging the Swiss to up their game in order to remain the global market leader.

With the door open just enough to let in those on the other side of the Alps, craftsmen in Italy, France and Germany combined elegance and prestige with their own luxury brands and launched pieces that have stood the test of time.

Finally, the U.S. has risen to a formerly Euro-Asian dominated craft and created its own timepiece history.

We’ve scoured the globe to gather a small collection of spectacular luxury watches from Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany and the U.S., with price tags that further illustrate the market’s diversity. Here, featured watches range from $995 to $258,000.
