One such model comes from Harry Winston, which firstlaunched the Histoire de Tourbillon collection in 2009. This year, for its second edi-tion, the master has paid tribute to the undisputed star of complications with an exclu-sive new model issued in a limited series of 20 pieces. Featuring an ingenious construc-tion that makes light of established conventions, the model includes a bi-axial flyingtourbillon. All the displays are isolated in independent offset sub-dials, with runningseconds at nine o'clock, minutes at six o'clock, and hours with day/night indication attwo o'clock. The case is partitioned in different levels, with eight sapphire crystals punc-tuating the glass. The white-gold structure measures 48.5mm in diameter. Poweredby a mechanical, hand-wound movement exclusively developed for Harry Winston,Histoire de Tourbillon 2showcases a supreme complication in a setting worthy of thiswatchmaker's stature.Another elaborate piece comes from TAG Heuer. The first and only mechanical wristwatch to display time to an accuracy of one-thousandth of a second, the MikrotimerFlying 1000from TAG Heuer uses an ultra-high frequency spring to vibrate at 3,600,000beats per hour, 125 times faster than most chronometers. It uses two different powerchains, one to drive the watch during normal operation and one to drive the motionneeded for high-speed chronograph timing, and features a combination of hands anddials to provide a clear way to read the chronograph. Not to be outdone, Patek Philippe's Triple Complication (Ref 5208P)is aremarkably complex timepiece, featuring a minute repeater, a monopusherchronograph,and an instantaneous perpetual calendar. The mechanicalcomplexityof the watch necessitates over 700 individual parts - all of which areconcealed beneath a characteristically elegant and understated dial.

This has resulted in divewatches being designed to plunge to great depths - thelikes of Rolex's Submariner, Omega's Seamaster, Blancpain'sFifty Fathoms and Panerai's Radimor - as well as ocean-goingregatta special editions (such as Corum's Admirals Cup, the IWCPortuguese Yacht Club, the Herm's Clipper, and the BreitlingSuperocean). In the past, almost every brand has jumped onboard to add yet another bigger and better piece to itscollections, but in 2011 it seems the trend has become morediscreet as today we are seeing a return to slimmer, scaled-down timepieces. KEY TRENDS FOR 2011 This year, ocean-going timepieces were abundant at both the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, Switzerland, and at the Baselworld watch show. Time&Tideselects ten models inspired by the seaCLASSIQUE HORA MUNDI, BREGUETBreguet's Classique Hora Mundihas the ability to flit betweentwo time zones. It is available in three different modelsthat feature outlines of the Asian, European andAmerican continents. Set it to your chosen two time zones andthe hands will alternate to display the time in either region. Thewatch also synchronises the date and the day and nightindicator, and will display a named city from a choice of 24. The44mm case is made of 18-carat red gold with a hand-engravedcase-back, and the watch has an alligator-leather strap.
