$6.5 Million Towards Five Key Geographies by Mariam Yasin
Tiffany & Co. announces that its $6.5 million support to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), from the historic auction of the first-ever Patek Philippe Ref. 5711 Nautilus watch featuring a Tiffany Blue® dial will accelerate conservation efforts in five key regions facing the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.

Timepieces
Lady Arpels Heures Florales and Lady Arpels Heures Florales Cerisier
Drawing inspiration from the Swedish botanist Carl Von Linné in which he wrote about a garden plan made up of a variety of plants, whose flowers open and close at specific moments of the day to show the time, Van Cleef & Arpels has taken up this magical idea to bring two brand-new creations into being: the Lady Arpels Heures Florales and Lady Arpels Heures Florales Cerisier watches. Their three-dimensional dial offers a poetic rendition of the passage of time, thanks to the opening and closing of 12 corollas. Telling the time becomes a spectacle, as the flowers blossom and close, renewing the dial’s scenery every 60 minutes.
To bring the dial to life, up to 166 elements are set in motion. With each passing hour, the open flowers close to make way for a new combination. The next day, the sequence of the bouquets that succeed one another from hour to hour will be different.
Lady Arpels Ballerines Enchantées
Originally created in 2013, this year Van Cleef & Arpels reinvents the Lady Arpels Ballerines Enchantées in two new pieces suffused with grace and modernity, one in white and the other in rose gold. The dancer’s graceful silhouette has been revisited, with her posture taking on a slender and dynamic attitude, while her tutu unfurl in new materials and colors. Depicting a dancer part woman and part butterfly, these crea-tions follow in the footsteps of the ballerinas and fairies so dear to the Maison. On demand, the figure indicates the hours and minutes by raising its arms.
Lady Duo de Lions and Lady Duo de Lapins
On the dial of the Lady Duo de Lions watch, in the foreground, a couple of lions is in-tricately sculpted in relief from white and yellow gold, with particular attention to the three-dimensional volume of the silhouettes and their polished coats. At their feet, a surface of diamonds and pink sapphires contrasts with a background of turquoise and onyx marquetry, traversed by round diamonds that suggest the shimmer of water in the sun. Depicted in mirror-polished and guilloché rose gold, the latter emerges from behind clouds of white mother-of-pearl.
The new Lady Duo de Lapins’ sculpture on mother-of- pearl brings to life a pair of rabbits, exchanging tender glances. Around them, a garden of emeralds, tsavorite garnets and pink sapphires is home to vegetation in plique-à-jour enamel. The sun – in guilloché and mirror-polished rose gold – spreads intense reflections, while a cloud in lapis lazuli adds to the tableau’s impression of depth.
Extraordinary Objects
Renowned for its High Jewelry savoir-faire, Van Cleef & Arpels has been prominent in a lesser-known field since its foundation in 1906: objects that create a sense of enchantment and surprise.
Planétarium automaton
Distinguished by its impressive dimensions, the Planétarium automaton presents the Sun and many of the planets of its system visible from the Earth: Mercury, Venus, the Earth – accompanied by its satellite, the Moon –, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Fontaine aux Oiseaux automaton
Combining on-demand animation and a retrograde time display, Fontaine aux Oiseaux automaton offers a double spectacle. On the side of the base, a feather moves progressively along the time scale. Once it reaches 12 o’clock, it returns to its point of departure to repeat its journey for the next half-day.
Rêveries de Berylline automaton
Some 30 centimeters high, the Rêveries de Berylline automaton presents a flower that blooms to reveal a fine winged creature. A flower born in an imaginary garden animates on demand, opening its petals to unveil a hummingbird ready to take flight.

The Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronograph
The new Montblanc Minerva Monopusher Chronograph Limited Edition not only features an iconic hand-wound MB 16.29 movement with all its meticulous hand-finishing, but the movement has been flipped over to display all the incredible mechanical action on the dial side of the watch.There are two limited editions of 18 and 58 pieces, in Lime Gold with a green alligator leather strap with grey stitching and stainless steel featuring a white gold fluted bezel and a blue alligator leather strap with blue stitching. Both come in a case side of 43mm and are fitted with a fluted bezel, the sign of an exceptional Montblanc timepiece.
Montblanc 1858 Minerva Monopusher Chronograph Red Arrow LE88
This stunning limited edition of 88 pieces features key elements from the past include a fluted bezel, this time in 18K white gold – for easy use with pilots’ gloves – and the Maison’s signature red arrow that allowed a quick and easy reading of elapsed time. A jet-black dial is enhanced with beige Super-LumiNova® hands and Arabic numerals glowing green in low light. There is also a telemeter scale that runs around the outside of the dial – a typical feature of these legendary chronographs – as well as a tachymeter (base 1000) in the centre of the dial in a colimaçon snail shape.
1858 Geosphere Chronograph 0 Oxygen LE290
This “Zero Oxygen” timepiece, limited to 290 pieces, comes with a zero oxygen certificate that attests to the fact that the watch has been successfully encased without oxygen and also undergoes the Maison’s unforgiving 500-hour test. The new complication is powered by Montblanc’s brand-new MB 29.27 automatic chronograph movement that comes with a central chronograph seconds hand, 30-minute chronograph in a sub dial at three o’clock, and chronograph hour at nine o’clock. In May this year, World Record holder Nimsdai will undertake an expedition to the summit of Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen while wearing the Montblanc 1858 Geosphere Chronograph 0 Oxygen LE290 on his wrist to put the timepiece through the test.
Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date
Looking at the “frozen” dial of Montblanc’s first ever certified diving watch is like diving through the ice into the glacial waters beneath, reproducing the texture of ice that have been frozen in time for millennia. The Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date comes in a 41mm stainless steel case with a bicolour ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel and a case back featuring a 3D relief engraving of an iceberg and a scuba diver exploring the glacial waters below. This timepiece comes in three different dial colours – blue, green, and black – each one representing different colours of glacial ice from around the world.
Montblanc 1858 GMT
With a 42 mm stainless steel case in a choice of a black or blue sunray dial adorned with blue luminescent hands and indexes, the Montblanc 1858 GMT watch function shows the time in two different places at the same time. Where most GMT timepieces indicate the second time zone with an additional hand, the new Montblanc 1858 GMT model presents its GMT indication without hands that is very intuitive and highly legible. This ingenious system indicates the second time zone with a red square that moves around the outside of the dial.

Staying true to the ambition of the Saxon manufactory to create new, inspiring masterpieces of watchmaking artistry time and again, A. Lange & Söhne presents four exciting launches at this year’s Watches and Wonders.
RICHARD LANGE MINUTE REPEATER – a homage to classic precision watchmaking
Inspired by the tradition of pocket watches, A. Lange & Söhne reflects these historical details in the overall design concept and in the intricate manufacture of the calibres as well. The RICHARD LANGE MINUTE REPEATER, a limited edition of 50, is based on the classic construction principles of precision watchmaking featuring a sophisticated striking mechanism as well as the enamel dial with its steel blue hands and elegant Roman numerals, all manufactured in-house. Contemporary developments include the patented hammer block and the pause elimination feature that prevents the usual pause between the hour and minute strikes in the first 14 minutes of an hour.
ODYSSEUS – sporty elegance in titanium
The ODYSSEUS features a robust titanium case that is water resistant up to 12 bar (120 metres) as well as a matching bracelet, which guarantees the highest levels of comfort even when playing sports. The sporty-chic character of the watch, limited to 250 pieces, features an ice blue dial and is complemented perfectly by the handcraft-ed automatic calibre L155.1, which was developed exclusively for this model range originally launched in 2019. The balance wheel ensures absolute precision by oscillating at 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (4 hertz) underneath the balance wheel bridge which is embellished with a hand-engraved wave pattern.
GRAND LANGE 1 – refinement of a design classic
As the face of the family for over 25 years, the revamped GRAND LANGE 1 perfectly reflects the ambition to further develop a watch family that has set new standards in precision watchmaking.

Six exquisite new launches to watch out for by Mariam Yasin
MAESTRO WORLDTIME
The Jacob & Co. Astronomia Maestro Worldtime expands the Astronomia universe with an elaborate and rare minute repeater carillon chiming complication and a new Worldtime complication. It is one of the most complex versions of the Astronomia iterations ever created.
At its center, as with all versions of the Astronomia, is the unprecedented Astronomia movement with its vertical construction and four perfectly balanced arms, each attached to a novel rotating satellite. The time display has been moved from being one of the four satellites to the center of the movement. The movement platform rotates every 10 minutes inside the 50mm 18k rose gold and sapphire crystal case while floating above an aventurine base with a hand-painted depiction of the Milky Way galaxy with planets.
This new Maestro also introduces a Worldtime function. It appears as an oversized globe of the earth extended from one of the arms of the Astronomia movement. This globe rotates on an axis every 24 hours, providing an accurate time among time zones throughout the world, while rotating with the platform every 10 minutes inside the dial.
JEAN BUGATTI
With its 46-mm case, the Jean Bugatti is a new design direction and its extremely sophisticated nature is on par with previous achievements by Jacob & Co. Inspired by the gifted designer and engineer Jean Bugatti, this new timepiece brings retro design to a new level thanks to a singularly advanced movement.
Calibre JCFM09 features a pair of one-minute flying tourbillons. A high frequency, double retrograde chronograph with split hands and digital jumping 30-minute counter. Peripheral hands. Smooth pushers coordinated by a column wheel system linked to a separate barrel and regulating organ.
The Jean Bugatti features an elegant dial with extensive rose gold appliques, and the overall appearance of a 1930’s Bugatti roadster grille. This groundbreaking mechanical accomplishment is available with a rose gold case and cream-white dial, or a white gold case with blue dial, both of which are limited to 57 pieces. The Jean Bugatti feels like the dashboard of a collectible Bugatti car with the openings at the bottom of the dial feel like the grille and headlights of a 1930’s coupé from Molsheim.
OPERA GODFATHER MINUTE REPEATER
In the universe of chiming/musical watches at Jacob & Co., the minute repeater came first, in the Palatial collection and in the Twin Turbo and Twin Turbo Furious. Then, the decision was made to add actual music to the watches, and the Opera Collection was introduced. The 49mm Opera timepiece was the first luxury timepiece to combine a high watchmaking triple-axis tourbillon movement with a two-comb, two-cylinder Swiss music box.
The Opera Godfather took the Opera one step farther, introducing the theme music from The Godfather, followed by the Opera Scarface.
With the Opera Godfather Minute Repeater, clients don’t have to choose between chiming out the time and playing music. This new grand complication timepiece combines a minute repeater, which chimes out the hours, quarters of hours, and minutes, with an on-demand two-comb, two-cylinder Swiss music box, playing the iconic theme from The Godfather.
GOTHAM CITY
Jacob & Co. has announced the latest launch of its new “Gotham City” luxury watch, the first offering in a multi-year partnership with Warner Bros.

Fitted with a hyper complicated movement with twin, flying, sequential, high-speed, triple-axis tourbillons, the Gotham City is a tribute to Batman’s crime fighting tech and the influential lifestyle of Bruce Wayne.
