The Micros Updates

This edition of the Balencier Contemporain, at 39.6 mm, is Greubel Forsey’s smallest timepiece yet to fit the independent watchmaker’s exclusive oversized balance-wheel system.

New Marvelous Lines

Designed by Ini Archibong, the new Galop d’Hermès was one of the highlights for women at SIHH 2019. The light is reflected in the curves, warming the metal and suffusing the shapes with vibrancy. Through the domed sapphire crystal, this unique watch exalts the gentleness of the dial.

Writing the History

The Lange 1 by A. Lange & Söhne was one of the first unique watches made following the re-establishment of this brand manufactory. This timepiece is an extraordinary combination of tradition and innovation which makes it a prime example of Lange watchmaking artistry. With pioneering features, this expensive watch is writing history.

Shades of Blue

In the Patrimony collection by Vacheron Constantin, we saw a striking majestic blue shade seep into its dials, from a classic hour-minute reference to its retrograde day-date model. The Genevan brand’s self-winding 40 mm Patrimony is a unique watch with 196 components of its Calibre 2460 Q6, including a 22-karat gold oscillating weight.

Swiss watchmaker and luxury brand Girard- Perregaux explored this new design trend in other ways. This expensive watch is a great example. Presenting an evolution of its predominant line, Laureato arrives in the watchmaking world’s first carbo glass material.

Bling and Precious Updates

The new Dazzling Rendez-Vous Night & Day modern watch with an exclusive design is a truly breathtaking wonder of watchmaking and refinement. With a new griffe setting technique, this timepiece by Jaeger-LeCoultre expresses generosity and preciousness: the form of its case and floral numerals, its two rows of diamonds and mother-of-pearl dial enlightens its Night & Day function.

Vintage Details

The Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Edition “Mojave Desert” by IWC is the first watch with a case made from sand-colored ceramic. This unique watch is a limited-edition timepiece and its sand-colored ceramic is inspired by the Mojave Desert, home to the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake. Besides this, the color perfectly matches the uniforms worn by Navy pilots and is the result of a combination of zirconium oxide with other metallic oxides.

Water Resistant

The Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa PAM 1039 is water resistant to 300 meters and features a very unique texture and look, resembling wood grain with a zebra pattern. Enhancing the strong personality, this modern watch is a great marriage between the luxury brand and Prada.
