Looking back at Baselworld 2015

It’s been a short while since Baselworld 2015 of course yet so much has happened since then already! CLERC had an amazing run during the show. First, we unveiled our new GMT models of course. This new Hydroscaph series is rated for 800m depth and sports a 42 hour power reserve. The version with the gold hands and numerals and brown rubberized alligator bracelet was showered with compliments from press and retailers alike. Brown is back!

Second, we officially announced our multi-level partnership with Nuytco Sub Aviator Systems – this means CLERC will be the first and only watch company to offer its own line of personal luxury submersibles. We brought a reduced sized model of this exploration machine on the stand where it welcomed our numerous guests every day. And this video played non-stop all day long at the stand causing many to simply stop and watch in awe.

With this new initiative and Orcasub, CLERC is essentially defining a new underwater flight luxury segment. Reaction from press, bloggers, and retailers was very inquisitive – and very positive. The first version of Orcasub – aka Super Aviator – will start traveling the globe in 2015. And several VIP clients have already expressed interest in custom-building an Orcasub for themselves.

Last, but certainly not least, CLERC is very happy to announce that 2015 will see the opening of new retail locations in Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, St Marten, Aruba, St Thomas, Egypt, Dubai, and Moscow. We are expanding in existing key markets and entering new ones in Central and South America.

Did you miss us at Baselworld this year? Don’t worry! And come see us at JCK in Las Vegas May 29 to June 1st! Appointments are now being made for the largest Watch and Jewelery show in the United States so don’t miss out!

Behold the New Hydroscaph GMT Power-Reserve Chronometer

It’s official! We’ve just announced a new member of the Hydroscaph family in time for Baselworld 2015. This GMT Power-Reserve exploration machine will be unveiled during the show this year. And it’s pure CLERC power and luxury to the core.

Designed to withstand the extreme conditions of deep-sea diving, the Hydroscaph GMT Power-Reserve Chronometer is a sophisticated adventurer that is just at home in the abyss as on the wrist of a stylish globetrotter. Its ultra-technical case topped by an exclusive bezel – avoiding an accidental deregulation while diving – is equipped with an automatic helium release valve guaranteeing water resistance to 800 meters, while its patented lateral reinforcements protect it from shocks. The remarkably precise and reliable new Clerc Calibre C610 is certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). This mechanical self-winding movement endowed with a 42-hour power reserve notably drives an oversized 24-hour dual-time display at 6 o’clock.
