Here are live photos impressions of intereting watches from Baselworld 2015 Day 1.1.

They may be less well known then Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega or Chopard that dominate the news but caught my eye.

They maybe important. Watches for the brand or collector.

Hamilton Ventura Elvis Edition but now with automatic movement and a bigger case.

Tutima Minute Repeater!

Breguet has a 10 year anniversary of the Heritage watch this year.

Milus automatic watch for ladies in steel but gem set.

Flexible lugs pivot widely but still gem set.

First time Girard Perregaux issues a tourbillon (and a triple axis at that) with a sonnerie function!

Its Hublot...what can you say?!

This Hublot Magic Gold version made me say, "Wow!"

I don't say that often.

Perrelet celebrates an anniversary of the double rotor winding system

Double rotor automatic skeletonised.

Other rotor attheback.

Both wind in opposite directions with two ratchet systems giving better winding efficiency.

Moritz Grossmann issues new dress watch for men and women.

Rearranged 3rd wheel for better view of balance.

QLOCK TWO

Key Points from the Discussion

The Girard Perregaux (GP) Tourbillon was initially misidentified as a triple-axis tourbillon with a sonnerie function, but it was clarified to be a Triple Bridge Tourbillon with a sonnerie, a first for GP.
The GP Opera One and Two models already featured striking mechanisms visible from the dial side, which are technically located on the back of the movement.
The Hamilton Ventura Elvis Edition now features an automatic movement and a larger case, updating a classic design.
Tutima introduced a minute repeater, showcasing a high complication from the brand.
Breguet celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its Heritage watch, indicating a milestone for the collection.
Perrelet showcased an anniversary of its double rotor winding system, featuring a skeletonized automatic movement where both rotors wind in opposite directions for improved efficiency.

Great shots! Thank you for sharing with us here. I will go next week, really looking forward to see this one in real! :) About the GP Tourbillon - if I understand correctly, this is the first time of having Bridges, Tourbillon AND Minute Repeater visible on the front of the watch. Best Blomman
