    Cruise Monogram

    The monogram pattern has always been a sign of luxury and timelessness. It was therefore obvious for TechnoMarine to establish its name in the world of luxury by creating its own monogram.However, instead of using letters as it is traditionally the case, the monogram of TechnoMarine is made with its very recognizable shark tooth logo.

    Another stone added to the brand ability to play with rules and conventions and also a great occasion to show how proud we are to wear TechnoMarine watches.

    Check out the collection here.

    Steel Evo Carbon

    Steel Evolution is the perfect illustration of the brand ability to mix materials and play with them. For 2013, we wanted to continue this story by playing with a different type of materials, very much appreciated by men: the carbon fiber. Indeed, carbon is a technical fiber that is very often used in high technological industries such as aerospace, racing car and boat industries.

    Engineers and design­ers love it because it is five times stronger than steel yet weighs about two-thirds less. A perfect material in fact! Such an astonishing material couldn’t be ignored by TechnoMarine! Thus, in February 2013, all TechnoMarine fans will be pleased to discover the new Steel Evolution Carbon, a Steel Evolution featuring a Stainless Steel case covered

    by carbon fibers and a new TechnoMarine silicone strap mixing silicone with a carbon look-like nylon insert. A real masculine piece for those who care for the black look!

    I want to discover the new Steel evolution.

    Cruise Love

    Love is in the air. Every woman feels special when she receives a token of affection from her paramour. Something shiny, something red, something that makes her feel irresistible. She wants to tell the world he loves her, but wearing her heart on her sleeve is outdated. All she wants today is something pretty for her wrist and she’ll find it in TechnoMarine’s new Cruise Love watch.

    Romance and fantasy go hand-in-hand with Cruise Love. This lighthearted take on an enduring gift of affection is as irresistible as the woman who will wear it. A quick glance at the dial and her eye will fly to the embellished heart enveloping the date function. Just below is the word ‘LOVE’ spelled out in red.

    A closer look reveals a playful wink from TechnoMarine: the small second hand at 6 o’clock is none other than Cupid’s arrow. These symbols of devotion are emphasized by an opulent red patent leather strap and a mother-of-pearl dial, details approved by all women. Cruise Love is the most romantic classically sporty watch.

    The seamless melding of sporty and sexy are quintessential TechnoMarine and Cruise Love is a must-have for every woman hoping for something special this season.

    Check out the Cruise Love collection and try to become the Valentine'day ambassors by  participating in our contest.

    Heritage

    Steel Evolution “Heritage”, TechnoMarine’s next generation steel watch, has come ashore in limited numbers. This fresh interpretation of a steel chronograph, finished with a rose gold pvd, has a stonewashed case that seems to have been sculpted by slow churning waves. As the focal point of the watch, the case’s gentle patina gives the impression of a timepiece that is both well worn and carefully styled. The surface effect is a low key complement to the broken in texture of the removable leather strap. This distinctive balance of deliberate wear and imposing design yield an inimitable hybrid of styles that is quintessentially TechnoMarine. What’s more, to commemorate TechnoMarine’s 15th anniversary ‘One Five’ has been signed on the watch’s dial.

    An exceptional design such as this merits special production: Steel Evolution “Heritage” has a limited availability of just 1,515 pieces.

    The secret is out!

    TechnoMarine has pulled back the curtain on the mysterious Sefa Robinson. Robinson, an enigmatic character who, during the Baselworld Fair, has been the subject of endless conjecturing and controversy, was revealed to be posing as a Samoan journalist on behalf of the brand. 

    While carrying out an elaborate, real-life hunt for TechnoMarine's Treasure, Robinson soon discovered himself to be on the run from the law and found he was Baselworld's most infamous outlaw.

    Going 'underground,' Robinson bravely carried out his mission and lead intrepid explorers on a journey with perilous distractions to TechnoMarine's cavern, where the persevering among them discovered a magical, outsized ruby and, at last, TechnoMarine's Treasure.

    Unlock your Mind !

    To celebrate the launch of the new Cruise Locker watch, TechnoMarine urged guests from around the globe to express their creativity and challenge constraints. The brand joined forces with speed-artist Franck Bouroullec to create a larger-than-life painting inspired by the latest TechnoMarine designs.

    Each painter was charged with fashioning something unique within the confines of a designated form and a bright yellow palette. Amidst music, cocktails and laughter, partygoers put their creativity to the test as they each took a turn with the paintbrush. Watch the guests in action and see the spectacular end result!

    ‘What makes you special?’

    This was the question we posed to Mónica Cruz and Andrés Velencoso, the most recent additions to TechnoMarine’s ‘I Am Special’ gallery of portraits campaign. Both Cruz and Velencoso exude the confidence, humor and sophistication that TechnoMarine represents around the globe, but we wanted to find out the unique ways they define themselves.

    Here’s what we discovered: he’s an unlikely combination of the rugged and the refined, an actor on-the-brink with a penchant for an adrenaline rush. She’s a drop-dead gorgeous triple threat (dancer-singer-actress), who designs a fashion line in her spare time—her life is a whirlwind and she lights up every room she enters.

    Both are bold in everything they do. To hear more of what Monica and Andres had to say, check out our behind-the-scenes video from the photoshoot.

    Night Vision II

    For the young, urban night owl, TechnoMarine introduces the new Night Vision. The watch’s monochromatic design keeps the wearer under-the-radar during daylight hours, but when darkness falls and his social life kicks in, so too does the watch face in bold pops of color, like infra-red night vision goggles illuminating the unseeable. 

    Telling time has never been easier in a dimly lit, after-hours atmosphere thanks to the striking contrast of glowing indexes against the canvas of a midnight-hued dial. Follow the flash, this is trendy light painting in action.Elsewhere on the watch,discreet splashes of color — along the side of the bezel and on the inner layer of the strap — are visible to those in-the-know.

    Like the man who wears it, the Night Vision is subtle, sharp and supremely confident. It’s inconspicuous, but always stands out from the crowd. As the evening’s escapades unfold, lead the way with the Night Vision II.

    TechnoMarine MP8: there still is time to be a champ

    TechnoMarine teams up with no less than the world’s pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, to create yet another winner. The new, limited edition watch, the “Manny Pacquiao 8”, or MP8 for short, takes inspiration from the country’s very own boxing champion and his unprecedented global achievements. 

    From the number “8” on the face, symbolizing Pacquiao’s eight world boxing championship titles, to the red and blue details which give the watch its unmistakable Filipino feel, to TechnoMarine’s signature wave motif, the MP8 is unmissable. 

    The stylish red strap can be interchanged with a white one, while limited edition yellow and blue straps are sold separately for every mood. The watch is designed for active, fun-loving individuals who appreciate MP8’s relaxed take on luxury. 

    “We are extremely pleased to introduce the limited edition MP8 in the Philippines,” says Rex Mendoza, director of Techno Time Retailers Corp., the exclusive distributor of TechnoMarine in the Philippines.

    “With only 1,000 examples worldwide, it’s a very exclusive watch.” The MP8 is more than a bold design. It’s an expression that TechnoMarine and one of the world’s most celebrated professional athletes have in common.

    And its sophisticated Swiss Made movement is the perfect reflection of the kind of elegant, fearless man it was created for.

    The cruise Ceramic

    The cruise ceramic is an ode to ceramic. Used long before metal and glass, and born from the fusion of fire and clay, this versatile, highly resistant material is impeccably smooth and sensual. From porcelain to rocket noses, ceramic is prized for its resistance and reliability.

    TechnoMarine was one of the first watch makers to exploit its extraordinary properties. Graceful, sophisticated, exquisitely feminine, the Cruise Ceramic is a TechnoMarine classic. While its slender, ceramic strap gives it a soft, sensual feel and is delightfully comfortable to wear.

    Just like the TechnoMarine Chroma. With its lacquered dial, diamond setting and luxurious white silicone strap, this stunning watch is a real jewel in the TechnoMarine crown. The ceramic collection now comes with a even more high-end ceramic bracelet.

    TechnoDiamonds

    Two years after the Raft exploded onto the scene, TechnoMarine founder Frank Dubarry introduced the TechnoDiamond. Breaking tradition by pairing seemingly incompatible materials – plastic and diamonds – he launched a whole new category of high-end Swiss watches. Elegant yet infinitely wearable,this groundbreaking timepiece infuses its trendy

    casualness with a fresh flash of diamond-studded exclusivity. The watchmaking industry has sometimes tried to characterize the brand as on the fringe, sacrilegious even, but numbers don’t lie. The popularity of the TechnoDiamond speaks for itself and puts the naysayers in their place at the back of the room. 

    From the first audaciousness of Raft, TechnoMarine watches have pushed the boundaries of what defines a luxury watch. But who came up with those outdated rules in the first place? They were obviously made for TechnoMarine to break.

    Raft, the first TechnoMarine watch

    St-Tropez, 1997. Raft, the first TechnoMarine watch is created. An instant hit, selling 50,000 models in its first year, it sends shockwaves through the watchmaking world. With its original design, Raft created a whole new category of luxury time pieces, triggering a revolution in the category. 

    The Swiss-engineered chronograph and stainless steel case, coupled with a rubber case cover, distinctive unidirectional rotating bezel and clear plastic strap, remixed the codes and made a real statement for the brand. And with its interchangeable strap and case cover, Raft was, and remains, well ahead of its time.
