RICHARD LANGE TOURBILLON
"Pour le Mérite"
With a fusée-and-chain transmission and a one-minute tourbillon, the RICHARD LANGE TOURBILLON "Pour le Mérite" incorporates two of the most effective complications that increase rate accuracy. Thanks to the patented stop-seconds mechanism, the tourbillon – and with it the entire movement – can be stopped and set to one-second accuracy.
BVLGARI
Serpenti Spiga High Jewellery double-spiral watch
Serpenti Spiga High Jewellery double-spiral watch in 18 kt white gold with diamond-set case, dial and bracelet. Water-resistant up to 30 metres.
Chopard
L.U.C XPS Forest Green
The L.U.C XPS Forest Green celebrates the three core values of the L.U.C collection: technical performance, aesthetic refinement and a commitment to certified watchmaking. The all-new Forest Green sector-type dial boasts a fusion of vintage charm and modern watchmaking excellence. The 40-mm Lucent Steelâ„¢ case is both responsibly produced and well-proportioned for a wide variety of wrist sizes. The dial is enchanting, with traditional touches of Chopard design, from the case and lugs to the signature rhodium-plated Dauphine hands. The "Chronometer" inscription is visual recognition that the L.U.C 96.12-L calibre housed in the L.U.C XPS Forest Green meets the most stringent accuracy tests as performed by COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute). This timepiece is indeed a testament to Chopard's in-house design and manufacturing prowess.
Franck Muller
Long Island Evolution Giga Tourbillon
The Long Island Evolution represents a modern reinterpretation of FRANCK MULLER's iconic Long Island case, featuring a new dynamic design while retaining the Art Deco-inspired silhouette. The innovative construction includes an additional inner case for enhanced movement security and shock protection. With a striking aluminium inner case and a titanium outer case, the watch exudes luxury and sophistication. For the Long Island Evolution Giga Tourbillon, a large tourbillon cage of 20 mm occupies over half of the entire movement, with a three-pointed supporting bridge that is closely mirrored in the bridges of the barrels that hold four mainsprings in total. These provide a generous four-day power reserve that is indicated in a display between the barrels. Two Super-LumiNova filled hands indicate the hours and minutes, with the oversized tourbillon doubling as a running seconds counter. Limited edition to only 8 pieces.
Hublot
Big Bang Unico Orange Ceramic
The Hublot Big Bang Unico features a stunning orange ceramic case and a skeleton design, with its iconic column wheel visible at 6 o'clock and a date window integrated into the heart of the 60-minute counter. Limited to 250 pieces.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon
The Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon is a glorious expression of the Calibre 847, capitalising on the iconic swivelling case. Its two dials present two different aesthetics, while the inside of the cradle offers a mirror-polished disc reflecting perfectly the light through the tourbillon
Panerai
Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience Edition PAM01405
The Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience Edition PAM01405 is the first 45mm Submersible to feature the tourbillon complication with the calibre P.2015/T featuring the innovative patented Panerai tourbillon in which the cage rotates on an axis perpendicular to the one of the balance wheels and it makes a complete rotation in thirty seconds. The watch not only features technical innovations like the tourbillon and GMT but is also part of a broader experience, aligning with Panerai's pioneering approach to combining memorable experiences with watch ownership. Panerai's focus on sustainability and its role as one of the first in the industry to mix experiences with watches further enhances the appeal of this model.
Vacheron Constantin
Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton
Contemporary by design, yet respectful of watchmaking tradition, this Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton comes in 18K 5N pink gold houses an ultra-thin, entirely skeletonized perpetual calendar. Accurate until the year 2100, a moon phase with a star-studded sky and two gold moons add the finishing touches to the calendar. The fine watchmaking finishes and gray tone of the NAC-coated caliber can be seen both from the front and through the sapphire caseback. The watch can be personalized thanks to its system of three easily interchangeable straps – leather, rubber, and 18K 5N pink gold.
