Basel 2014: Haldimann H1 latest version (video)
Dear all
During this year's Baselworld show I had a chance to visit Beat Haldimann and marvel at his latest creations. Apart from the sublime H11 Beat showed me the most recent version of his celebrated H1. I made a video for you to enjoy. Look closely and you will spot the new shape of the hands. But there's more: the domed sapphire crystal bears a new revolutionary anti-reflective coating which for the first time is free of the usual blueish/violet tint. This way the huge tourbillon really seems to jump at you. What's more, Beat reworked the dial and used a refined procedure for the numerals. Finally, the position and style of the logo have also been changed. But see for yourself:
I hope you enjoyed that!
Cheers, Valentin
