A Zenith retailer for three decades now, Kirchhofer has been one of the preeminent carriers of the Brand in Switzerland and is widely recognized as one of the most prolific watch retailers in the world. Now Zenith has created an exclusive Kirchhofer edition of the Defy Classic with gold and blue accents, limited to 88 pieces, playing with the number 8, a symbolic digit for our Chinese clientele. The faceted Defy Classic case, measuring 41 mm in diameter, is made of light yet rugged Titanium. With its mix of polished and satin-brushed surfaces, the Defy Classic’s case recalls the geometric lines of the earliest Zenith Defy models while exuding an unmistakably futuristic aura. The Defy Classic is powered by a modern rendition of Zenith’s staple automatic movement, the Elite. With a skeleton execution of the main plate, bridges and even the date wheel, the Elite caliber’s modernism extends beyond just aesthetics, with a silicon escape-wheel and lever offering precision at a frequency of 28,800 VpH (4 Hz). When fully wound, the automatic Elite movement provides a minimum power reserve of 50 hours. The Defy Classic Kirchhofer Limited Edition comes with a choice of either a brown or blue alligator leather strap with black rubber backing.

The two versions of the Kirchhofer Special Edition Tonda 1950 are provided with a unique sun-polished dial – a complex and rare processing in dial manufacturing. In both its pure, elegant aesthetic and its exceptionally refined profile, the Tonda 1950 meets the highest standards in terms of comfort and readability: a return to the basics of the haute horlogerie, which define a true classic. The high standard of finish on each component is the result of a unique dovetailing of the different centers of competence that make up the Parmigiani Fleurier Manufacture, ensuring that each caliber produced is of the very highest quality. The movement of the Tonda 1950 is created in-house, right up to the indexes on the dial. The Tonda 1950 reinterprets the very essence of the Parmigiani Fleurier style: Due to the integrated Micro-Rotor of the movement PF701, its profile is very thin and fits perfect for the brand’s iconic signature– the four lugs, round and ergonomic. The Kirchhofer Special Edition is a classic model interpreting the key markers of time. The Kirchhofer Special Edition in rosegold with the gradient brown opaline dial is limited to 18 pieces. The appliques are in 18 carat rosegold. The micro-rotor of the automatic calibre is in 950 platinum. The watch is provided with a genuine Hermes alligator leather strap and a folding clasp in 18 carats rosegold. The Kirchhofer Special Edition in stainless steel with the gradient blue opaline dial is limited to 28 pieces.

In 1952, just eight years after the foundation of the family-owned Kirchhofer Company, the Navitimer was first released and has since become the world’s most prestigious pilot’s watch. The new Navitimer 1 Automatic 41 Kirchhofer Limited Edition effortlessly combines the features of the brand’s most famous watch family with a sophisticated design, making it a true classic in its own right. Breitling’s famous circular slide rule and the unmistakable double-sided rotating pearl bezel as well as the clearly arranged three-hand dial with Arabic numerals make the Navitimer Kirchhofer Edition a stylish addition to any outfit. The Kirchhofer Limited Edition’s 41-millimetre stainless steel case, water resistant to 3 bar (30 metres/ 100 feet), is unmistakable: the “75th Anniversary Kirchhofer” engraving on the case back celebrates the historic company’s anniversary this year. Accordingly, this model has been limited to 75 pieces and is only available in selected Kirchhofer branches.

Baume & Mercier launched four exclusive editions designed especially for Kirchhofer, powered by self-winding movements. They are part of the Classima collection, which marries authentic watchmaking expertise with timeless design. Two for women and two for men, with diameters of 31 mm and 40 mm, respectively. The former are forged in gold and steel, while the latter are all-steel. Each Kirchhofer Jungfraujoch exclusive edition features an opaline white or silver-coloured dial highlighted by leaf hands in blued steel. The date is displayed in an aperture at 3 o’clock. The indexes take the form of Arabic numerals on the men’s watches, substituted by nine diamonds on the women’s two-tone versions as a symbol of eternity. All have an open case back in scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, bearing the Kirchhofer Jungfraujoch logo to underline their exclusivity. The Kirchhofer Jungfraujoch special editions are now available in-store.
