Excalibur Blacklight Monobalancier by Mariam Yasin
A new era of blazing aesthetics begins as the next generation of the Excalibur Blacklight Monobalancier (MB) arrives. One of the brightest expressions of the Maison to date, the timepiece is a contemporary work of art that is just as vibrant by day as it is under UV light. Reflecting an unmatched level of craftmanship, the metal micro-beams of the calibre are tri-dimensional for the first time, taking the shape of Roger Dubuis’ signature star. Bright yellow and orange by day, they reveal their hidden luminescence and glow neon under UV light.
Among this capsule collection is a timepiece dressed in bright yellow enhanced by vibrant orange touches. Bold, daring, iconic: this 42mm white gold timepiece truly dazzles – from its bright yellow rubber and calf-leather strap, to its micro- beams, hour and minute markers, and its signature star. Defining the fine balance between aesthetics and performance, the timepiece is equipped with the RD720SQ calibre, which has an increased power reserve of 72 hours. The masterpiece has been rewarded with the Poinçon de Genève, one of the most demanding certifications in fine watchmaking.
Limited to 28 pieces, the Excalibur Blacklight MB is the perfect blend of colour, luminescence, and advanced mechanics. Hyper-contemporary and Hyper-exciting, the latest edition of the Excalibur Blacklight MB brings Hyper HorologyTM to bright new heights of expressivity.

The powerful silhouette of the Laureato by Mariam Yasin
Girard-Perregaux is pleased to unveil the new Laureato Absolute Light & Shade. Measuring 44 mm in diameter, the case of this latest model is made from metallized sapphire crystal, endowing the watch with a fascinating brilliance. The model exhibits a visually light appearance through transparency, while conversely it also looks dark and reflective. This visual lightness is accompanied by a low mass of just 85 grams.
The new Laureato Absolute Light & Shade upholds its ethos by revealing the movement to glorious effect courtesy of the sapphire crystal case. The main plate of the in-house movement, the Calibre GP01800-1143, is octagonal-shaped, a respectful nod to the Laureato’s famous bezel. The skeletonized movement provides a fascinating vista of curves and lines enriched with pockets of light and shade.
Paying homage to the Chinese New Year, the new Laureato Light & Fire reveals a deep and captivating red colour; evoking thoughts of energy, vitality and prosperity. Limited to just 18 pieces, the model shares much in common with the Laureato Absolute Light & Shade but is housed in a new polycrystalline material named YAG. Like sapphire crystal, this translucent material is hard and scratch-resistant, but also offers a variety of dark shades.
The Laureato Absolute Light & Shade and The Laureato Absolute Light & Fire will be available in Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons boutiques early June at The Dubai Mall and the Mall of the Emirates.
Kicking off 2023 with a focus on its most creative and daring platform for horological innovation, ZENITH is unveiling some of its latest DEFY creations at LVMH Watch Week 2023.
DEFY Skyline Skeleton
Housed within an angular 41mm steel case, the harmoniously symmetrical skeleton dial takes on the form of a four-pointed stars, in a nod to the ZENITH “double Z” logo of the 1960s. The open dial comes in black or blue, with the skeleton movement’s main plate as well as the bridges and open star-shaped oscillating weight finished in the same colour as the open dials for a cohesive and architectural look.
With versatility at its core, the DEFY Skyline Skeleton features an ingenious quick strap-change mechanism consisting of secure buttons on the back. The steel bracelet with a satin-brushed surface can easily be swapped with the supplied rubber strap and steel folding clasp with a starry sky pattern that’s colour-matched to the dial.
DEFY Skyline – Now in 36mm
The DEFY Skyline is now available in a 36mm version, keeping the angular form of the original while introducing more modest, unisex proportions that perfectly fit those who prefer a smaller fit.
Powered by the Elite 670 automatic manufacture movement, the mid-size DEFY Skyline comes in three dial colours. These pastel tones, in pink or green, have a metallic base that is polished then satin-brushed, with rays emanating from the applied ZENITH five-pointed star at the top of the dial.
Available with or without brilliant-cut white diamonds on the bezel, the DEFY Skyline retains the faceted steel case and twelve-sided bezel of its larger counterpart. For added versatility, the quick strap-change mechanism on the case back allows for easy swapping between the steel bracelet and supplied starry sky-patterned rubber strap with folding clasp in the same colour as the dial.
DEFY Skyline Boutique Edition
Housed in a 41mm angular steel case with a dodecagonal bezel, the Zenith DEFY Skyline Boutique Edition stands out with its radiant anthracite dial, engraved with a rose gold motif and set with rose gold hands and hour markers.
Powered by the El Primero 3620 automatic high-frequency calibre, the DEFY Skyline features a unique running 1/10th of a second indicator that’s driven directly from the 5Hz escapement. This automatic manufacture movement visible through the sapphire display back.
The DEFY Skyline Boutique Edition is delivered on a steel bracelet with a satin-brushed surface with chamfered and polished edges, seamlessly following the contours of the angular case.
DEFY Extreme Glacier
Blurring the lines between precision watchmaking and sculptural, wearable art, the DEFY Extreme Glacier is directly inspired by frozen barren landscapes.
An integral part of the titanium case, the component that protects the pushers as well as the dodecagonal bezel are crafted from chalcedony, a crystalline semi-translucent stone with a pale blue hue that evokes the frozen glaciers. Meticulously cut and polished by hand, each stone is different and exhibits slightly different colours and fibrous structures, making each of the 50 examples of the DEFY Extreme Glacier essentially a unique piece.
Completing the look of this conceptual piece are the supplied durable black Velcro strap and white rubber strap, which can be easily swapped with the titanium bracelet using the quick strap-change mechanism on the back of the case.
The DEFY Extreme Glacier is made in a limited edition of 50 pieces, available exclusively at ZENITH physical and online boutiques.

A beautiful story of elegance and creative prowess, told under a star-lit sky.
This year, once again blending together artistic beauty and crafts-making perfection, Piaget is opening a brand-new chapter. The moon phase complication enters the Altiplano collection, introducing the Altiplano Moonphase. Composed of four pieces, the exclusive métiers d’art collection takes savoir-faire and creativity to new heights, furthering the Maison’s decades-long relationship with masterful artists.
The four Métiers d’art Altiplano Moonphase watches are a work of pure beauty and precision, a luxury of intricate details and technicality made to fit on a 36mm-wide watch. Their dials were brought to life after two years of development. On a translucent blue enamel sky created by master enameller Anita Porch. Each Guardian, representing a cardinal point and associated with one of the four seasons and elements, gently appears at night fall.
The Azure Dragon stands for the East and is associated with Spring and wood; the red bird, representing the South, is close to Summer and fire. The white tiger, looking West, is naturally a friend of Autumn and metal, while the black turtle (for the North) is at ease in Winter and water.
In each one of these creations, Piaget’s mastery is at the service of the deep significance of the constellations’ powers and of the Moon’s infinite radiance.
