Cut For Time: Bulgari’s Sustainable Future, TAG Heuer’s Ambassadors, New Releases From Hermès, Ming, H. Moser & Cie., And More!

H. Moser & Cie. continues its unique interpretation of Haute Horlogerie with the new Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon. This complex mechanism chimes the hours on the dial side with the hammers on full display against a new electric blue dial stripped of its logo and numerals for a pure aesthetic.
 

The Endeavour Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon comes in a 43mm titanium case with the hand-wound HMC 903 caliber that indicates the hours and minutes via central leaf-shaped hands, and it chimes the hours, quarter-hours, and minutes. The timepiece is finished with a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap with a red lining.
 

Earlier this month, TAG Heuer announced the signing of British professional golfer Tommy Fleetwood to its team of ambassadors. Fleetwood is a five-time European Tour Winner and was a member of the winning European Ryder Cup Team in 2018. He is now also the face of TAG Heuer’s Connected Golf Edition. Fleetwood will be working closely with the Connected team’s software engineers in Paris to enhance the player experience of the app.
 

In the world of tennis, TAG Heuer also announced the signing of professional Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka to its extensive list of tennis talents. Osaka is recognized as not only one of the world’s top tennis players, but she is also a committed social activist who uses her voice to make the world a better place, making her the perfect brand ambassador.  
 

Over the last 12 months, Bulgari has initiated several key initiatives to support the fight against COVID-19, including the purchase of a high-tech microscope for Rome’s Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases, the conversion of its fragrance facilities into hand-sanitizing gel production, and the creation of the Bulgari Virus Free Fund to support research into vaccines.
 

On January 19th, the fourth installment of the "Innovating The Present For A Sustainable Future" webinar series shared the progress of Bulgari's various COVID-19 initiatives and presented two of the female scientists who received scholarships to cover four years of their Ph.D. The initiative, called the Bulgari Women & Science Fellowship in COVID-19 Research, was set up to support future female scientific talents, and it is a testament to Bulgari’s commitment to diversity and women’s empowerment.
 

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new book entitled “Reverso” is a collaboration between La Grande Maison and the luxury publisher Assouline. The Reverso collection was created in 1931 with a reversible case for polo players who would frequently have their watch crystals broken during a match. By flipping their watch over, they could protect their timepieces from the impact of flying polo balls.
 

Written by the historian, journalist, and horological specialist Nick Foulkes, this illustrated book traces nine decades of Reverso history, covering 50 calibers and several hundred dials. The book also shares the personal stories of Reverso owners who have personalized their watches in deeply-meaningful ways. The book comes out in February and costs $195.
