Get up close and personal with some of the watches that made a buzz at this year’s Baselworld at Time Kulture: Revolution in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur from July 12 – 22, 2018. Organised by watch retailer Swiss Watch Gallery, the fifth edition of Time Kulture will gather nine major names in Swiss horology, among them Bell & Ross, Graham, TAG Heuer and Tudor. Themed motor-racing, the Central Court of the shopping mall will be transformed into a race-like setting complete with asphalt-esque flooring, racing lanes, and chequered flags to drive home the close link between watchmaking and the automobile and aviation industries. Watch out for the Oris Bear mascot representing the Swiss watchmaker’s world of culture as well as the pin-up girls of Graham’s Chronofighter Nose Art. Nespresso will also be having a tasting bar on site. But the main attractions remain the watches, so here's a closer look at some of the highlights from all nine brands.

Baume & Mercier Clifton Club Indian Burt Munro Tribute Limited Edition
Created to celebrate the achievements of amateur speedway racer Burt Munro, the automatic chronograph features a silver dial that has been sandblasted to recreate the surface of the Bonneville Salt Flats where Munro set the 1,000cc record of 296.11km/h with his modified Indian Scout motorcycle. The tachymeter scale on the stainless steel case highlights this record in miles per hour (184mph). Munro’s lucky number 35 is displayed at ‘9’ against a striking yellow background.
