Watchmaker Philippe Starck has designed a new watch with Richard Mille for the "Only Watch" auction that is organized by Antiquorum. The Only Watch auction will be held on Thursday September 20, 2007 in Monaco. All proceeds will go to a Duchenne muscular dystrophy charity. On a side note I just noticed that Philippe Starck also designed the new Fossil watch I featured earlier this month.

Here is the new Superocean Heritage that was introduced by Breitling at Baselworld 2007. It has Breitling Caliber 17 movement and like all Breitling models it is officially certified by the COSC. It has a steel case that is water-resistant to 660 feet (200 m/20 bars) with unidirectional ratcheted rotating bezel. It utilizes a cambered sapphire crystal that is glareproofed on both sides. It is a good size at 46 mm is diameter. The dial is black and the strap is black rubber. I guess a like it a little bit more than I did in May.
Bugatti has just added another option to the tiny list of upgrades for the thousand-horse, million-plus motorcar: a targa top. The top will be made of glass and stowed -- manually, we would guess -- somewhere in the car. Word is that if the skies turned sour too quickly, a fabric cover could be "pulled into place," which is a contraption we'd like to see. To prevent flexing at double-ton+ speeds, the car will also be reinforced; instead of 250 mph or so you'll only get to 217. There will be just 80 made, which will make them even more exclusive than the "base" model, and sure to sell out.

Here is the Citizen Attesa Limited Edition wristwatch. This particular watch sets itself using Atomic Radio Controlled technology just like the Oceanus line from Casio. I personally love Citizen watches, however for about the same price I think I would buy the new Oceanus Black Ion Plated Radio Contrlled 5 Motor wristwatch.
