The Chinese Timekeeper CTK04 at Baselworld 2012

Another excellent brand featured at the Baselworld Palace was The Chinese Timekeeper. Their watches are works of art inspired by Su Song’s ancient Chinese clocktower. Each watch is made of four stainless steel rings secured together by four screws from the bezel to the case back. These timekeepers measure 44mm in diameter and feature a sapphire crystal with screw down backs. CTK watches are powered by automatic movements with 25 jewels and a 36 hour power reserve. One of the most impressive features of the Chinese Timekeeper is the design of the deployment buckle (see pics below).

Doxa Watches You’ve Never Seen Before

in Baselworld 2012, Jumping Ship, Watch Indentifier

So you love your Doxa SUB, or you picked up a Doxa Aquaman from KeepTheTime to hold you over until you can get a SUB on your wrist. But what about all those other Doxa models that are mysteriously non-existent in the United States? You tried searching for “Doxa” in all of the search engines but all of the results just point to the U.S. Doxa site that sells only dive watches and one single chronograph racing watch (Ultraspeed).

To find the non-U.S. Doxa watches, go to http://doxa.ch
Check KeepTheTime’s current Doxa inventory

We have no idea why the distribution is set up the way it is, and cannot understand why the company hides their other models from U.S. customers. While in Basel this year, KeepTheTime captured pics of as many Doxa watches as we could so that you could see that the brand is actually quite diverse and has a lot more to offer than dive watches. Enjoy!

These MB&F watch photos were taken at the Palace Hall during Baselworld 2012. As you can see, MB&F (aka Maximilian Büsser and Friends) creates more than just watches, they design horological machines that resemble artistic mulch-dimensional timekeeping masterpieces rather than the typical wristwatch. In an industry that sometimes feels flat, MB&F knows that the world of watchmaking can be round–and they’re not afraid to explore it.

Baselworld Palace

in Baselworld 2012

The Palace is located adjacent to Hall 3 at Baselworld. Here you can find some of the coolest watches and the most welcoming brands of the show. The founders of the companies featured there love talking about their masterpieces and are happy to introduce their unique functions and designs. There is a nice bar in the back of the tent with some excellent live music.
