The color pink has taken us by storm this summer with a whole new meaning and wearability, thanks to the Barbie movie. Inspiring all of us to revamp how we embrace the trending color, it’s time we take a look how we can make a statement – not only in our wardrobe but also on our wrists.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding

In celebration of the 50th anniversary iconic Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet reinvents the traditional rainbow with the launch of the unprecedented Royal Oak Selfwinding sets in 37 and 41 mm, both illuminated by some of the most beautiful gemstones. The timepieces are covered with 861 identical gems for the 41 mm versions and 790 stones for the 37 mm models. The 37 mm and 41 mm references are equipped with Calibre 5909 and Calibre 4309 respectively.

Piaget Limelight Gala Precious Sunset

The timepiece is housed in a 32mm 18K rose gold case with a bezel of 32 brilliant-cut pink sapphires (approx. 4.70 cts.) transitioning to 10 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.90 cts.). This array of pink gemstones swirls around an elegant white mother-of-pearl dial whose pearl effect shimmers in the light. The Limelight Gala Precious Sunset is fitted with a white satin strap and an 18K rose gold ardillon buckle that is set with 15 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.06 ct.).

Chopard Happy Sport Blue and Purple

The Chopard Happy Sport 33mm Automatic Watch captivates with its harmonious fusion of precision and elegance. Crafted with Lucent Steel™, this watch features 1.49 carats of diamonds and 27 jewels as well as exudes exceptional brilliance that complements the exquisite diamonds adorning its Purple Night dial. The watch has an automatic movement to ensure flawless operation and includes a luxurious violet alligator leather strap.

Panerai Luminor Due 38mm

The Luminor Due 38mm collection is Panerai’s pulse on the contemporary while reinterpreting its storied origins of high-precision timepieces rooted in distinction, aesthetics, and function. The timepieces feature dials in modern pastel palettes – a first-ever for the Maison. Set in a 38mm steel case with a metal bracelet that reflects the design ethos of Panerai’s watchmaking, the collection’s appeal accompanies wearers for the everyday city living wardrobe. Featuring novel proportions—slimmer, lighter, sleeker—while retaining the mechanical rigor of its predecessors, the Luminor Due watches express urban Italian sophistication. The automatic P.900 calibre powers the Luminor Due 38mm with a three-day power reserve.

Hublot Big Bang Unico King Gold Rainbow

This statement piece features Polished 18K King Gold set with 124 Baguette-cut Colored Gemstones: Rubies, Pink Sapphires, Amethysts, Blue Sapphires, Blue Topazes, Tsavorites, Yellow and Orange Sapphires along with it’s “One-Click” System. This stunning timepiece’s 44mm dial in Polished 18K King Gold is also sprinkled with 108 Baguette-cut Colored Gemstones. As the soul of the watch, this movement with an “open heart” reveals its completely re-imagined design, with double coupling system and column-wheel from the dial side as well as a 72-hour power reserve. Its construction of 354 components has been simplified to improve reliability and robustness.

In 2002, Louis Vuitton premiered the Tambour watch, a recognizable drum-shaped case with a bold and arresting vision of time interpretation. After 21 years, the Tambour has matured, and its next expression comes in a slimmer form, characterised by exceptional finish, casual elegance, and sculptural, fluid lines.

Two steel versions distinguish the launch of the new Tambour, reinforcing the designation of this collection for daily wear. A tone-on-tone model with silver-grey dial or one with a contrasting deep blue dial are the options for the introduction of the Maison’s reborn emblematic collection, an enriched Tambour with two additional firsts for Louis Vuitton — an integrated bracelet and an exclusive new and beautifully crafted automatic movement designed by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.

Despite being just over a millimetre thick, the dial of the new Tambour conveys surprising depth and three-dimensionality. A split-level chapter ring, divided by a polished step, consists of an outer ring for the minuterie and an inner ring for the hours, both with micro-sandblasted main surfaces. The dial markers are designed to complement each other in terms of spatial balance, with the 5-minute markers being recessed, while the hours are indicated with appliques. The indexes are in gold, diamond polished to amplify their interaction with light.

The new cal. LFT023 is more than the movement driving the evolved Tambour, it is also the first proprietary automatic three-hand movement designed by Louis Vuitton in conjunction with movement specialists Le Cercle des Horlogers to fully embody the Maison’s visual codes, from the barrel cover with openworking reminiscent of a Monogram Flower to the micro-rotor decorated with a stylised LV in a repeating motif.

Louis Vuitton has onboarded Actor Bradley Cooper as the star in the latest Tambour Campaign.

Vacheron Constantin unveils a unique exclusive timepiece designed to fit into the dashboard of an exquisite Rolls-Royce Coachbuild commission – the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail.

The dashboard watch is a one-of-a-kind timepiece that combines the beauty and precision of Vacheron Constantin along with the luxurious craftsmanship of Rolls-Royce, created for a client with a passion for watchmaking and coach-built motor cars . Equipped with a bi-axial tourbillon and double retrograde display, the single-edition Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon is housed in a secure, removable holder custom- designed by Vacheron Constantin engineers to fit into the fascia of the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail. It features the Calibre 1990, a hand-wound in-house complication movement with a bi-retrograde display and an armillary tourbillon.

The watch is finished in a mauve color that matches the interior of the Rolls-Royce Amethyst Droptail while the sapphire dial reveals the full beauty of the movement, including a mainplate with a NAC galvanic coating with a circular satin finish.

In recognition of their shared passion for precision, attention to detail, craftsmanship and the highest level of personalized luxury, Vacheron Constantin has created its first contemporary timepiece for the automotive world.

“The two centuries-old brands share a quest for perfection that consists of constantly pushing the limits of feasibility”, explains Christian Selmoni, Vacheron Constantin’s Director of Style and Heritage. “This philosophy is an excellent catalyst for innovation and good taste, both technically and aesthetically.”

This year, it’s Spirit of Big Bang’s turn to be Essentially Grey. This historic collection, the only one in Hublot’s barrel format, is draped in 100% titanium: including the case, bezel, screws, crown, push- pieces, case-back and folding clasp. For the occasion, the rubber strap has been matched, lined with black thread on the outer edge to mark the vanishing line.

To preserve the timepiece’s legibility, the Hublot has introduced very subtle variations to this Essential Grey, notably on the date disc (window at half-past four), on the chronograph counters (minutes at 3 o’clock, hours at 6 o’clock), while playing with the multiple finishes: mirror polished, drawn lines, graining, luminescent hour markers, rhodium-plated hands and more. All the indications on the dial are perfectly legible, while enhancing the skeleton architecture of the HUB4700 Calibre.

The Spirit of Big Bang Essential Grey features the One-Click system allowing one to change bracelets in a fraction of a second, without any tools. Bracelets are available in two variations: grey grooved rubber, and grey with Velcro buckle and ceramic.

Only 100 copies of Spirit of Big Bang Essential Grey will be available, exclusively online at hublot.com.

Following the MonovortexTM Split-Seconds Chronograph, which introduced the future of the Roger Dubuis chronograph at Watches and Wonders earlier this year, the Excalibur Spider Flyback Chronograph signals the long-awaited comeback of this complication to the Maison’s collections – making its anticipated debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2023.

The feature at 6 o’clock is an example of this spirit: the famous column wheel. Compared to a horizontal design, the vertical clutch is known to be more precise when starting the chronograph, improving accuracy at the moment that matters. Viewed from the caseback, it also recalls the gear-system of supercar design, making a valid connection to the world of motorsport.

Precision then combines with playful, as the movement reveals its unexpected 120° Rotating Minute Counter (RMC) at 3 o’clock – crafted with a radical isotoxal shape. Just like the MonovortexTM concept watch, the minute counter includes a patent- pending tripartite hand that carries the 0, 1 and 2, accurately rotating past the 0-9 digits on the right.

Reaching 72 hours of power reserve, this calibre then changes focus, facing up to the modern challenges of shock, gravity, and magnetism. Tilted at 12°, the balance wheel at 9 o’clock has raised its level of inertia to the same standard as a tourbillon. Reaffirming its remarkable engineering, the RD780 is backed by Poinçon de Genève certification.

The exterior of this 45 mm timepiece is equally as impressive with the case crafted in lightweight carbon, revealing a perfect combination of sharp lines and signature notches – and a symmetry that is typical of the Excalibur Spider collection.

Time is the unseen thread that ties us all together. No matter where you are in the world, it affects you. It reminds us every day that life is precious. Time pushes us to make each day, hour, and second count. It also encourages us to value the memories we create throughout our lives.

The creative force of time links designers and artists from all over the world. They work endless hours to create and bring to life everlasting masterpieces. With QLOCKTWO, you are reminded that each moment is unique and special. You can experience a new sense of time.

About QLOCKTWO

QLOCKTWO Manufacture GmbH’s unique time display originated from a simple and ingenious idea of two artists Marco Biegert and Andreas Funk: Their idea was to design an object that reflects the way humans naturally express time. In 2009, they presented their first QLOCKTWO, an object that would fundamentally change the way time is represented.

QLOCKTWO represents time in the respective native language, also in the form of dialects. Its individual way of surface design makes the QLOCKTWO product an expression of the owner’s personal taste and style. This is what makes QLOCKTWO the most personalized time display in the world.

In a factory in Schwäbisch Gmünd, timepieces with surfaces made of materials like a million-year-old slate or 24-carat gold leaf are handcrafted. Each one-of-a-kind items are in more than 20 languages, in various sizes, and with distinctive fronts. QLOCKTWO products can be purchased worldwide through exclusive retail partners in the watch, jewelry, and interior sectors, in the company’s own flagship stores, or online.

The two new pieces build on the success of Breitling’s past collaborations with Deus Ex Machina and Triumph Motorcycles, and take them into high gear with the introduction of the exceptional Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01.

The Caliber 01 is equipped with a column-wheel system, the hallmark of high-end mechanical chronograph movements, and a vertical clutch that provides precise and smooth operation. The movement holds its power for approximately 70 hours. Breitling is so confident in the quality of its manufacture calibers that it offers them with a 5-year warranty.

The Top Time Deus

Breitling and the Australian custom motorcycle and surf outfitter Deus Ex Machina have joined forces on a third installment of the Top Time Deus, set to become part of Breitling’s core collection.

The new piece presents a monochromatic departure from its colorful predecessors, with a black dial contrasted by its white triple-register subdials and tachymeter scale. It works on either a black racing-themed calfskin leather strap or a mesh metal bracelet. The sublime engine behind this watch is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01, whose open sapphire-crystal caseback features a red Deus logo at its center.

The Top Time Triumph

Breitling first teamed up with the British heritage motorcycle manufacturer Triumph in 2022. This year’s version of the Top Time Triumph, now part of Breitling’s core collection, received a premium upgrade, with the addition of the Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01. The movement’s refined mechanism is now visible through a new open-caseback design. The dial features a twin-register display with speed-measuring tachymeter scale, and the Breitling and Triumph logos at 12 and 6 o’clock. Its attention-grabbing ice blue color pairs with a choice of black racing-themed calfskin leather strap or mesh metal bracelet.

MB&F’s connection to cars runs deep, starting in 2012 with the HM5, followed by the HMX in 2015, and the HM8 in 2016. A decade after the first automotive-inspired MB&F Machines, get ready for the reveal of the latest HM8 Mark 2, the most technologically evolved model to date. The HM8 Mark 2 finds inspiration in different sources, such as the iconic Porsche 918 Spyder for the shape of the body, and the Zagato double bubble for the sapphire crystal.

The HM5 and HM8 Mark 2 are built from an independent water-resistant chassis to which the body panels of the watch are added, while the HMX and HM8 favoured a monobloc construction. For the new HM8 Mark 2, this coachwork comes in a choice of white or British racing green CarbonMacrolon® that has a matt finish on the top and a high polish on the sides. The white version is paired with a green CVD rotor and light green minute markers, while the British racing green version comes with a red gold rotor and balance wheel and turquoise minute markers and is limited to 33 pieces.

Developed specifically for MB&F, CarbonMacrolon® is a composite material composed of a polymer matrix injected with carbon nanotubes, which add strength, rigidity and weighs eight times less than steel. In addition, the creation of this double-curved sapphire has reached a complexity that is 30 to 40 times more expensive than a dome sapphire. The battle axe rotor that powers the movement is incredibly complex to make as one of the 22-carat gold blades is only two-tenths of a millimetre thick. The timepiece also features a brand-new type of crown that has a sort of “double de-clutch” system that works by pushing the crown in and turning it three-quarters of a turn to release it.
