Real Pics of the LINDE WERDELIN 3-Timer Racing - Red & Yellow

The latest LINDE WERDELIN 3-Timer Racing Series launch with their partner in Singapore, E’collezione, is nicely timed to celebrate the annual FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX from 24 to 26 September.

Similar to the recently launched 3-Timer Steel Green (limited to 22 pieces), the key attributes of the 3-Timer are maintained.

The variation, for these two pieces to commemorate the FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2010 (limited to 9 pieces per colour), instead of changing the colour theme of the dial, the racing colour theme of RED and YELLOW are applied onto the bezel, the straps and the ardillon buckle.

For friends who wear their 'Racing Watches' to races, either of these RED   or YELLOW   LINDE WERDELIN 3-Timer Racing could be your next new company to the 2010 race.

Some pictures for your viewing pleasure.... Enjoy!


For the specifications of the LINDE WERDELIN 3-Timer Racing, please 
LINDE WERDELIN  3-Timer Racing, FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2010 Edition


Starting with the Steel RED ...

Red hour markers on the bi-directional bezel.  

The Hex-fasteners securing the straps to the watch are internally filled RED too.

Red perforated-pattern on black calf leather strap with matching red lining.  The lining material could be Alcantara.


The font used, both alpha-numeric is specially designed, sort of the "LINDE WERDELIN Font".


Inner hour markers and tips of the hour-and-minute hands are coated with luminescent.

Alternate brushed and polished finishing are used on the case to create stunning contrast.

Combined with the facets, the angular case seems to be ever-changing with different angle of light reflecting from it.


The flow of the line continued through the seamless integration from the watch-body to the strap.


Those pointed corners are not easy to be machined.  To make matter even more challenging, is the alternate polishing.

Extreme care and skill is needed to maintain the straight edges during the alternate polishing.  Any additional brushing over the polished
shiny surface will result in the lost of the definition of the straight edge.


The solid caseback with the Racing word and the serial number engraved.


The matching coloured ardillon buckle with the red LW logo.


A quick-shot of the bright luminescent hands and markers.
 



 

Next is the Steel Yellow ...
 

Note how the case responded with lighting from different angle ....























The polished signed LW crown.


Marvelous facet-work and polishing!








Now the question, which colour model do you like ?
