The Luminox Booth at Baselworld 2012

Here are some of the Luminox watches we saw at Baselworld 2012! They had a great booth that really showed off their proprietary Always Visible self-powered illumination technology. The perfect watch for air, land, or sea. Night or day. Any environment, any situation. That explains why even the US Navy SEALS rock these tool watches with trust. Check out the micro-gas tube lumeshots below to see what we mean…

Kobold Arctic Diver vs. Kobold Soarway GMT

Differences Between Kobold Arctic Diver and Soarway GMT

Kobold Arctic Diver vs. Kobold Soarway GMT

The aesthetic differences between the Kobold Arctic Diver Swiss and the Kobold Soarway GMT are very minimal, but thanks to optical illusions caused by the dials and bezels of each watch, they look like distant cousins rather than brothers. Sometimes Koboldians who find the AD to be too large think they can get away with the Soarway GMT. The pics here prove that while that might appear to be the case, it’s far from the truth – they are the exact same size!

Between the lack of markings on the GMT bezel and the matte black dial of the Arctic Diver, they come across as completely different watches and successfully fulfill a different set of needs. Have a look at the pics and specs to see which one suits you best…

At Baselworld 2012 KeepTheTime had the pleasure of chatting with our friend Konstantin Chaykin in the AHCI booth. He showed off his new “Mystery” watch, featuring a completely transparent view from the top crystal to the bottom (he’s holding it in the photo above). Additionally, we had a chance to play with the new 18K gold version of his novel moonphase watch known as the Lunokhod Prime. Video coming soon… enjoy the pics for now!

Evolution of a Zenith Pilot Watch

Zenith Pilot Watch worn by Louis Bleriot in 1910

The Zenith booth at Baselworld had an entire wall of early Zenith models going from the oldest 1910 pilot watch shown above, to their pilot watch called the Doublematic with the El Primero 4046. This watch has it all, including big date, GMT hand, and an alarm! It’s interesting to see the evolution of the Zenith pilot and how it has become what it is today. One can only image what it will be like tomorrow.
