Breitling has long been known as a brand producing performance instruments for professionals, which it demonstrates here with its own proprietary split- seconds chronograph movement — one of the most sophisticated horological complications. The Manufacture Breitling Caliber B03 split-seconds chronograph holds two patents and enables timing of different events that begin at the same time but end at different times. To present this technical in-house-made caliber, Breitling turns to the famed Navitimer case in steel or gold with an exclusive Panamerican bronze-colored dial. $10,840 Where to buy Breitling in New York, Jaclyn Nation, boutique manager,

Montblanc presents an innovative timepiece in a limited edition of 100 pieces. It can easily be converted from a wristwatch into a pocket watch or a dashboard clock. The manufacture caliber MB M16.29 with a monopusher chronograph was inspired by the Minerva caliber from the 1930s, and the chronograph’s 30-minute counter at 12 o’clock is vertically aligned with the small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. The red chronograph seconds hand runs in central position along a tachymeter scale. The satin-finish titanium case with DLC coating on the flank measures 50mm in diameter. $33,600 Where to buy Montblanc in New York, +1 212 223 8888, montblanc.com
