Alongside the massive Swiss watchmaking event held in Geneva at the end of March, the houses took advantage of the excitement to reveal their novelties and news.
The most expensive watch in the world
A favorite jeweler of American rappers and red carpet stars, Jacob & Co grabbed all the attention when it unveiled the Billionnaire Timeless Treasure on March 27, none other than the world’s most expensive watch at $20 million. This miracle required a real treasure hunt for three and a half years around the world to find yellow diamonds of exceptional size and quality. These 425 stones were finally acquired, then thousands of hours of cutting and setting were required to create a miniature mosaic, a luminous harmony of Fancy Yellow and Fancy Intense Yellow enhanced with green achenes. At the base of the case, 57 other baguette-cut yellow diamonds make the outline of the Billionaire’s skeleton… Stunning.

Breitling table
This is an entire art of living developed by the Swiss manufacturer Breitling, founded in 1884. As proof, the March 30 opening of its second restaurant, Breitling Kitchen, in Geneva. The actor of the Inauguration Night performance Theft of money and Breitling ambassador Alvaro Morte traveled to discover the menu created by Franco-Colombian chef Juan Arbelaes. The latter has developed a menu that gives pride of place to street food-inspired dishes based on fresh and local produce.

Roman holidays by Bulgari
Italian house Bulgari celebrated the arrival of good weather by introducing its new Octo Roma on March 27, which updates the style of the Octo collection launched in 2012. This latest creation stands out for its versatility, sophistication and elegance. With more technical models ranging from an automatic watch to a chronograph, if there ever was one, the Octo Roma collection explores the house’s Roman roots, particularly with the octagonal case as a hallmark of Italian architecture. Thanks to the interchangeable bracelet, these watches change their appearance at will without the need for any tools.

Gucci continues its pursuit of fine watchmaking with new timepieces, each one more incredible than the last. True to its unique style, the Italian house enriches its 5 unique collections presented at a dinner on March 28.

Among our favorites is the G-Timeless Planetarium collection, which grows in 4 kaleidoscopic designs. Precious stones swirl around the central Dancing Hours Tourbillon. The already cult Grip watch launched in 2019 and inspired by skateboarding culture. seventiesplays the game card thanks to the jump hour mechanism for an unusual reading of the time.
