Although the main launches took place last March, many treasures continue to be distilled throughout the year. Overview of current clocks.
Mention the Hoyers
It’s been a while since Tag Heuer CEO Frederic Arnault has hidden his interest in the now-inevitable Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT). Going so far as to post his Instagram account in the colors of one of his most iconic virtual shopping malls, the cult Bored Ape Yacht Club. Following the US sale of cryptocurrency watches a few weeks ago, the latter is using the VivaTech show in Paris to present the latest possible customization of its Caliber E4-enabled watch. Instead of traditional animations, NFT collectors will be able to scroll through the screen. Collection animation combined with a crypto wallet to better guarantee its authenticity. After all, art is at your fingertips, but it’s a way to show your belonging to this small, well-endowed digital world that can work.
Vacheron Constantine
A glance at the Swiss-made archival treasures is enough to realize that in terms of women’s watches, there has always been more time for expensive, sober and artful design than for high-tech. So with great pleasure, enthusiasts of beautiful mechanics were able to uncover a small number of major complications for women last March. The look, of course, is coded in a light pearl blue, reflecting the light of 76 diamonds that adorn the frame and fittings. But the inner eternal calendar that enlivens this Traditionnelle watch brings it a little closer to Vacheron Constantin’s other QP stars, such as the Traditionnelle Chronograph with its salmon count or the Overseas QP Skeleton. All in a reduced thickness of 4.05 mm և up to 36.5 mm in diameter, which is more suitable for certain wrists.
Audemars Piguet:
A few months after the official celebrations of the royal oak fiftieth anniversary, it was the turn of another friend of the Swiss house to take part in this stylish, no less important exercise. We owe it to jewelry designer Carolina Buchi to sign Audemars Piguet, now the cult “Frosted Gold,” with his signature. For his third collaboration with the production, he has for some time taken a break from his obsession with raw materials to focus all his attention on the dial. In other words, 300 pieces of ceramic, titanium-pink gold, which vibrate the motif of the symbolic tapestry of the brand with a new neon, almost electro version. A beautiful hybrid shade և in the light, which, given the impressive results of the brand, is obviously already worn out.
Longines:
It’s been a few months since Longines introduced a new, even more seductive face. While classic collections of Dolce Vita or Master are still leading the way in sales, Longines CEO Matthias Breschan also takes a good look at the brand’s past, bringing a welcome – sometimes, unfortunately, still little-known depth. After rearranging the pioneering spirit of production into the much-coveted diving watch or the GMT function, Longines is finally talking about his experience as a timer dating back to 1914. Ultra-Chron steel watch. with replaceable tape, which draws its appeal from the well-groomed lines of the 1968 vintage model. But the real charm is the mechanical side, as this small high-frequency racing car can measure the flow time up to 1/10.e: or 1/100e: seconds. Accuracy is verified by an independent laboratory that tested the watch at three different temperatures: 8, 23 և 38 °. Successful bet.
Bell & Ross:
Going from one extreme to another in a few months is a habit we really like at Bell & Ross. From the beginning of the year, the French manufacturer will unite all the graphic mania of its two co-founders, Bruno Bellamic and Carlos Rosillo. with a cigar world և fun multimeter. All that was left was to bring to light the first fashion of the duo, the leading instruments of the cockpit. It is now done with this BR 03-92 RadioCompass, which deflects the color codes of this navigation tool into a new, well-thought-out highlight that has been recalculated to fit all wrists.
Yager Lecturer
There is no need to look for anything new on the board, as Jaeger-LeCoultre boasts of two features specific to its Master Control domain: the calendar function and the calendar timer. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. Replaceable dress, of course, but which first offers an all-steel metal strap version. A new sporty luxury look for this collection that we knew more about Polaris diving watches but that fits into this other icon that celebrates its 30th anniversary of success this year.
March LA.B:
For more than ten years, Alain Marquis sought to impose his version of French watchmaking on a landscape that was then quite closed to modern, new companies. Now leading the three well-endowed Parisian jewels, the latter offers itself a limited number of trips to the yellow gold industry to expand its range, which traditionally costs around 600-1300 euros. Here are twenty notable examples that will also beat the brand’s new rhythm: the Swiss La Joux-Perret movement, gathered in Besançon, France.
Oris
If in the past the limited edition Oris was quite reserved for the reasons why the house was created (the Dat Watt for Wade Sea Conservation is the latest), some collectible watches are now outperforming the alternative. As proof of a new direction in Swiss production that is now developing its own movements, this all-steel Hölstein celebrates the 118th anniversary of Oris with its 250 pieces. Luxurious sports model with a diameter of 36.5 mm, which revives the charm of the 1998 Worldtimer watch.
