Here we have two luxury men’s timepieces to recommend. One is the  Emporio Armani Meccanico Modell AR4222 and the other one is blu Terzett. Both watches were created in 2009

Emporio Armani Meccanico Modell AR4222

Emporio Armani watch’s range of automatic watches is strengthened by the introduction of model AR4222.

Based on the limited edition commemorative Meccanico watch launched last year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Emporio Armani watches, this new model has now been introduced in a stainless steel version with a black calf-leather strap embossed to resemble crocodile skin. The black dial has a special feature referred to as “open heart” which reveals the mechanical functioning of the watch movement, making the inner workings of the watch visible to the wearer. This model is also available with an amber coloured dial crystal and brown calf-leather strap embossed to resemble crocodile skin (model AR4223).

blu Terzett

Inspired by traditional regulator-style timepieces but designed for forward-thinkers, the engine-turned dial of the blu Terzett is manufactured on four separate levels. The hour rim is suspended in the middle between the two circles of the minute dial and supports the upper section of the minutes dial. The mirror-polished indexes are positioned at 5-minute increments.

The superior and partially open-worked rhodium-plated minute rim features a mat finish. It dominates the structured surface of the main dial as well as the lower hour rim that sits in between. At the extremities the upper minute rim is cleverly finished in the shape of the indexes at 3 and 9 o’clock. A clever feat as it is all in the same piece!
Forming a harmonious balance with the other displays of this multi-levelled dial, the date display is positioned at 6 o’clock. Mirror-polished blued or gold-plated hands add the final zest of contemporary appeal.

With blu Terzett, the Bernhard Lederer Universe once again confirms its quest for innovation and its ability to make use of the past to create new traditions for the future.
