At Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024, Roger Dubuis celebrated the tourbillon in all its forms with four astonishing releases. Each brand-new timepiece stands out for having its own distinctive mechanics and breathtaking aesthetics, demonstrating once more why Roger Dubuis is a watchmaker unlike any other. 

Invented over 200 years ago, the tourbillon stands at the pinnacle of high horology. Roger Dubuis is one watchmaker to have accepted this complex challenge, delivering decades of its own expressive interpretations and signature designs. Their tourbillon journey continues at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024, where four new masterpieces are revealed. Each one demonstrates the incredible artistry of Hyper Horology™, while telling its own tourbillon story through mechanics and beauty.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Titanium Monotourbillon

The Excalibur Titanium Monotourbillon is the brand’s second titanium-crafted watch, and it is only available in a limited edition of 28 pieces. The Monotourbillon, which is normally found at six o’clock, is featured at seven o’clock on the skeleton dial. In addition, the upper bridge is modelled by the Celtic Cross, the bottom side has a flying tourbillon case, and the rehaut has minute markings.

The hand-decorated, internally created Calibre RD512SQ, which has a 72-hour power reserve, powers the watch. Its movement bears the Poinçon de Genève trademark, attesting to its provenance and dependability. The watch is completed with a metallic bracelet using the brand’s three-row style.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon

The 45mm Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon is crafted in pink gold. With 108 gemstones overall, the watch has a skeleton dial with a gem-set Celtic Cross and nine hour markers, as well as a bezel adorned with red garnets, orange spessartite, and yellow sapphires.

A twin flying monotourbillon at the bottom of the dial serves as another fascination. With its automatic calibre RD108, this luxurious watch has a power reserve of almost 72 hours. It is a limited edition of eight pieces. The watch is finished with an exquisite calf leather strap.

Roger Dubuis Orbis in Machina

The 88-piece limited edition Orbis in Machina, so named because of the tourbillon’s revolving nature and the dial’s circular orbit, has a central flying tourbillon that is a component of the Calibre RD115 and has a power reserve of 72 hours. The 45mm 18K pink gold watch’s dial also has a rehaut that displays the hour markers and grey concentric 3D discs that show the minutes and seconds.

At the Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024, Cartier has officially unveiled its upcoming collection. The Richemont-owned legacy jewellery company, which is further increasing its presence in the luxury watch market, releases updated classics for the contemporary world.   Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph, Santos de Cartier Dual Time, Santos-Dumont Rewind, Reflection de Cartier Watch, and Animal Jewellery Watch are a few of the new models. See below all the features that each watch has to offer.

Cartier Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph

Cartier is bringing back its iconic Tortue Monopoussoir form, drawing inspiration from the late 1990s. The watch’s Journe-Flageollet-Halter movement and aid, which come in platinum and yellow gold, are its most striking features. The watch is limited edition and has an opaline dial with a grained gold or silver finish, as well as a sapphire crystal front and caseback. The innovative monopusher chronograph mechanism of the watch is only available in 200 pieces per metal and has a height of 4.3 mm. The watch is available with a red alligator leather and platinum pin buckle or a dark blue alligator leather with a yellow gold pin clasp.

Santos de Cartier Dual Time

With the Santos de Cartier Dual Time, a modern take on the vintage wristwatch, agility and a sporty appearance are prioritised. True to its history as the first custom-made pilot’s watch in history, this useful dual-time watch is appropriate for any jet-setter. The watch’s innovation keeps pushing the envelope in line with Cartier’s concept of an opulent sports watch. The watch, which is the first in the Santos family to have dual time, has the recognisable Cartier Roman numerals set against the railway minute tack of a sword-shaped minutes and hours hand. The 100-meter water resistant grey dial contrasts sharply with the silver Roman numerals. 

Santos-Dumont Rewind

The Santos-Dumont Rewind is part of the Santos family’s ongoing expansion. The manually wound watch’s backward-running dial provides an unusual method of telling time. Playfulness is elevated to a new level with the unquestionably fun-focused, brilliant red watch, which comes in a striking variety. The release features a 200-piece run, although reading the backwards chronology piece can take some getting used to. The platinum casing of the 31.5mm Santos-Dumont has a sapphire front. The platinum pin buckle on the red alligator leather perfectly matches the Carnelian red sunburst dial.

Santos-Dumont

Cartier, who is still experimenting with colour, has released three new Santos-Dumont shades.  Olive green, taupe grey, and peacock blue compliment a new trio of case materials: 18k rose gold, 18k yellow gold, and 18k platinum. Every watch has an alligator leather band with an ardillon buckle that matches the case colour. Rather than using the Roman numerals found on their predecessor timepieces, all three of these watches use Arabic numerals. Those new models are powered by an ultra-thin 430 MC calibre.

The majesty and jewellery traditions of the French house are beautifully merged in The Reflection de Cartier. The watch has been dubbed a “veritable sculpture to wear on the wrist” by Marie-Laure Cérède of Cartier. Specifically crafted to function as a hybrid bracelet and understated timepiece, the quartet of models incorporates priceless stones such as diamonds, opal, amethysts, garnets, and more to contribute to the comeback of the eye-catching accessory. The pieces are available in 18k rose gold, 18k yellow gold, and 18k white gold, with an optional gem setting. A dial made of sandblasted silver and 18k white gold is included on each item. One of the most remarkable aspects of this piece’s craftsmanship is its highly polished surface, which faces the dial and reflects light without distortion.

On the opening day of Watches and Wonders in Geneva, supermodel and IWC Brand Ambassador Gisele Bündchen visited IWC Schaffhausen at its booth. Chris Grainger-Herr, the CEO of IWC Schaffhausen, and Franziska Gsell, the CMO of IWC Schaffhausen, welcomed her upon her arrival. 

This year at Watches and Wonders, IWC launches its new Portugieser collection. With the introduction of new design codes and complications, IWC once again showcases its expertise in fine watchmaking. 

During her visit, Gisele, who will be part of the Portugieser campaign, toured the booth which this year is designed with the theme of “A Tribute to Eternity”. Reminiscent of the endless cycle of day and night, the booth showcases the new colours, Silver Moon, Horizon Blue, Dune and Obsidian. Each of which is uniquely reminiscent of the journey from dusk till dawn.

“It is a pleasure to be here with IWC at Watches and Wonders and see the beautiful new Portugieser collection,” states Gisele. Commenting on what “A Tribute to Eternity” means to her, she continued “Time is a special gift and using it wisely impacts what we leave behind for future generations. I chose to use my time to focus on my family, love, learning, health, and friendships.”

On the special occasion, Gisele wore the new Portugieser Chronograph (ref. IW371626) in Horizon Blue. The blue dial is intricately crafted and finished with 15 transparent layers, giving it a captivating visual depth. It is fitted with a gradient light blue calfstrap from Santoni and powered by the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre.

Horizon Blue draws its inspiration from the serene yet vibrant blue hues of the early afternoon sky. When paired with the white-gold case, it gives the watch an underlying sense of lightness. This combination of colour and material gives the watch an elegant and refined look, making it a perfect choice for everyday use. 

Gisele explained what particularly draws her to the Horizon blue colour, “One thing that is important to me about selecting a watch is that it matches my personal style and is versatile. The Horizon Blue sparks a sense of peace and calm when I wear it. As we all are busy with work and families, we need to remember time is precious and we must take a moment for ourselves.”

Watches & Wonders is one of the most anticipated annual events for watch lovers around the world. This is because it’s an event where new watches from some of the biggest brands in the watch industry are unveiled. That said, more than 100 new watches are introduced, and there are a few that we think are worth the spotlight.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual

A stunning fusion of advanced mechanics and elegant design. The heart of this watch is the brand-new manual Calibre 388, which was created totally in-house. It has an amazing tourbillon that spins on three axes to create a unique “spinning top” effect, a first for the Maison. Within a redesigned pink gold case that pays homage to 19th-century savonette pocket watches, the Duomètre Héliotourbillon Perpetual combines classic style with cutting-edge technology. The 34-part case’s unique structure, which combines brushed, polished, and micro-blasted surfaces, adds to its visual appeal and harmonises with the intricate movement inside.

Zenith DEFY Extreme Diver

The DEFY Extreme Diver, which pays homage to the innovative spirit of the 1969 DEFY divers, has undergone an appealing redesign for 2024. The 42.5mm case, which is made of durable titanium, has precisely the right angles for the ideal balance of strength and sophistication. With a helium escape valve, this watch is perfect for the daring deep-sea adventurer in you and undoubtedly raises the bar for other diving watches available. Behind a sapphire display, there’s El Primero 3620-SC automatic high-frequency manufacturer calibre. You will also have plenty of time to explore thanks to the 60-hour power reserve.

Hublot Big Bang UNICO Ice Bang

For its new online exclusive, Hublot releases a unique piece: an “Ice Bang” equipped with the Unico movement! With the Big Bang Unico Ice Bang, Hublot has taken a radical stance while remaining faithful to the powerful aesthetic of the original model released in 2006, creating a sophisticated watch with a stunning array of high-tech materials and features which make it a must-have piece. Limited to 100 pieces, this model will be available exclusively on the hublot.com e-commerce boutique.

Piaget Polo Date – 150th Anniversary Edition

For this year’s exhibition, they have struck the perfect chord between the bright gadroons of the historic Piaget Polo and the casual-chic allure of the iconic Piaget Polo Date. This will take shape as a limited edition of a 42mm and a 36mm, both made of steel with a stylish rubber strap – a first for the 36mm. Each version will be produced in a series of 300 rare pieces. Giving a nod to the signature gadroons on the original Piaget Polo, the dials of these two collector’s timepieces display the same stunning play of materials as their ancestor. This Extraleganza heritage, a blend of elegance and extravagance, was also key to the decision to offer a duo of timepieces.

Panerai Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience Edition

This is the first Submersible 45mm with the P.2015/T mechanical calibre. It includes the innovative patented Panerai tourbillon in which the cage rotates on an axis perpendicular to that of the balance wheel and makes a complete rotation in thirty seconds.  The timepiece is made of Carbotech™, recalling a material also used on the Luna Rossa boat, an engineering feat that is 80% lighter than steel. Owners will enjoy an exclusive America’s Cup finals experience in Barcelona, with behind-the-scenes and front-row access to the competition with the Luna Rossa team.

Roger Dubuis Sunrise Double Tourbillon

Sitting on the wrist, the 42mm case of the watch is built from pink gold and is mounted with a robust brass flange, which itself has been given a pink gold galvanic treatment, along with indexes filled with black Super-LumiNova™. Inside the case, there’s The RD512SQ Calibre that has 72 hours of power reserve. To resist surrounding forces, the Flying Tourbillon includes an upper cage in non-magnetic Cobalt Chrome, and a lower cage in titanium – also non-magnetic and twice lighter than steel. Two tourbillons linked with a differential directly connected to the second wheel of the gear train for a better transmission of the energy. Poinçon de Genève certified, one of the most demanding certifications in the world of Haute Horlogerie

IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Eternal Calendar

This is the first secular perpetual calendar developed by IWC Schaffhausen. It automatically recognises the different lengths of the months and adds a leap day every four years at the end of February. While a perpetual calendar is programmed for a four year cycle, the Portugieser Eternal Calendar goes one step further: thanks to a new 400-year gear, it also considers the Gregorian calendar’s leap year exceptions by skipping three leap years over 400 years. In addition, its moon phase is so accurate that it will – theoretically – only deviate by one day after 45 million years. 

Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Sumit 

The collection welcomes a new model combining the Maison’s watchmaking and jewellery expertise, and whose exceptional refinement has been saluted by the Poinçon de Genève. The 41 mm-diameter case, as well as the entire dial, bezel, crown and integrated bracelet in ethical 18-carat white gold, are set with meticulously cut diamonds. Making no compromises in terms of technical expertise, this true collector’s timepiece benefits from the watchmaking savoir-faire of Chopard Manufacture embodied in the ultra-thin L.U.C 96.41-L movement, with automatic winding via a micro-rotor ensuring a 65-hour power reserve.

Cartier Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph

Cartier is bringing back its iconic Tortue Monopoussoir form, drawing inspiration from the late 1990s. The watch’s Journe-Flageollet-Halter movement and aid, which come in platinum and yellow gold, are its most striking features. The watch is limited edition and has an opaline dial with a grained gold or silver finish, as well as a sapphire crystal front and caseback. The innovative monopusher chronograph mechanism of the watch is only available in 200 pieces per metal and has a height of 4.3 mm. The watch is available with a red alligator leather and platinum pin buckle or a dark blue alligator leather with a yellow gold pin clasp.

So which one is your favourite? Those new models will be available soon at The Time Place boutique. Stay tuned for more information. 

IWC Schaffhausen unveils its new Portugieser collection at Watches and Wonders in Geneva. Building on its unique expertise in calendars, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer introduces the Portugieser Eternal Calendar. A humble tribute to eternity, IWC’s first secular perpetual calendar also features a moon phase accuracy of 45 million years. 

The eternal cycle of day and night has also inspired four new signature dial colours: Horizon Blue, Dune, Obsidian and Silver Moon which can also be found across the complete range of novelties, including the new Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44, Portugieser Automatic 42, Portugieser Automatic 40 and Portugieser Chronograph. All watches in the new Portugieser collection feature intricately crafted dials, finished with 15 layers of transparent lacquer, and are powered by IWC manufactured movements.

This is the first secular perpetual calendar developed by IWC Schaffhausen. It automatically recognises the different lengths of the months and adds a leap day every four years at the end of February. While a perpetual calendar is programmed for a four year cycle, the Portugieser Eternal Calendar goes one step further: thanks to a new 400-year gear, it also considers the Gregorian calendar’s leap year exceptions by skipping three leap years over 400 years. In addition, its moon phase is so accurate that it will – theoretically – only deviate by one day after 45 million years. 

Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night (Ref. IW545901) 

This timepiece features a flying minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock and a day and night indication with a small globe, which rotates around its axis once every 24 hours. The idea for this indication came from a former IWC apprentice watchmaker. Featuring an 18-carat Armor Gold® case and Obsidian dial, the watch is powered by the IWCmanufactured 81925 calibre with manual winding. 

Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44 (Ref. IW5037) 

The new model features a completely re-engineered case construction with a slimmer casing ring. Box-shaped glasses on the front and back showcase the intricately crafted dials and the IWC-manufactured 52616 calibre, which features a Pellaton winding system with ceramic components and offers a power reserve of seven days. Four versions are available in 18-carat white gold or 18-carat Armor Gold® with either Horizon Blue, Dune, Obsidian or Silver Moon dials. 

Portugieser Automatic 42 (Ref. IW5017)

This new model comes with a new case construction with a slimmer casing ring and double box-glass sapphire crystals. At work inside is the IWC-manufactured 520111 calibre with Pellaton winding, ceramic components and a 7-day power reserve. Available in six new versions in 18-carat white gold, 18-carat 5N gold or stainless steel, the Portugieser Automatic 42 is a classic instrument dress watch that retains the DNA of the original Portugieser Automatic from 2000.

Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. 3716)

Having formed a major pillar of the Portugieser collection since 1998, the Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. 3716) launches in three new versions in 18-carat White Gold, 18-carat 5N gold or stainless steel with either a Horizon Blue, an Obsidian or a Dune dial. Powered by the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre, the chronograph is distinguished by its easy-to-read dial with the vertically arranged totalizers. The quarter-second scale enables highly accurate stop time measurements and reflects the Portugieser’s DNA as a measuring instrument.

So which one is your favourite? Those new collections from IWC will be available soon at The Time Place boutique. Stay tuned for more information. 

Hublot has put together a huge display of innovations at this year’s Watches & Wonders in Geneva, which includes multiple reimaginings of the Big Bang, fresh takes on the cutting-edge MP model, and modernized versions of the Classic Fusion. Several timepieces were included within the collection, such as the Big Bang MP-11 14-Day Power Reserve Water Blue Sapphire, the Big Bang E Gen 3 EURO wristwatch, and new iterations of the Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu, to mention a few.

BIG BANG MP-11 WATER BLUE SAPPHIRE

The MP-11, featuring its sculptural 7-barrel movement with a 2-week power reserve, makes its debut in a brand new colour: a radiant and translucent water blue. A new colour is added to Hublot’s palette of sapphire tones, a major first for this Manufacture Piece. This new shade is based on a new chemical formula, a custom development, and an exclusive transparency index, yet still boasts all the usual properties of sapphire: brilliant, luminous, perfectly inalterable, and 100% resistant to knocks and scratches.

BIG BANG INTEGRATED TIME ONLY 38MM

The Big Bang Integrated Time Only is back. It embodies the original DNA of the Big Bang, with a solid dial and integrated bracelet, in a smaller version that represents the foundations of Hublot’s success.

Zenith has introduced three new models of its renowned DEFY series, the Extreme Diver, the Revival A3648, and the Skyline Chronograph for Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024. When it comes to tough and dependable watches, diving aficionados have turned to Zenith DEFY since 1969. DEFY keeps impressing with its unique designs and useful features, proving that only the best will do when it comes to endurance.

DEFY Extreme Diver

The DEFY Extreme Diver, which pays homage to the innovative spirit of the 1969 DEFY divers, has undergone an appealing redesign for 2024. The 42.5mm case, which is made of durable titanium, has precisely the right angles for the ideal balance of strength and sophistication, making it resistant to even Mother Nature. With a helium escape valve, this watch is perfect for the daring deep-sea adventurer in you and undoubtedly raises the bar for other diving watches available.

The elaborate geometric pattern of four etched pointed stars on the metallic dial makes it the most recognizable element of the DEFY range. Select from two striking colors: black or enticing blue. Both have a lovely sunburst finish with rays originating from the applied Zenith star at noon, which is our favorite type of night sky. The date window at three o’clock, large hands, and applied hour markers in blue, green, and orange are further examples of the color coordination. Behind a sapphire display, there’s El Primero 3620-SC automatic high-frequency manufacturer calibre. You will also have plenty of time to explore thanks to the 60-hour power reserve.

DEFY Revival A3468

This model comes with the distinctive angular 37mm stainless steel case that pays homage to the original DEFY series. With a sapphire crystal inlay, the unidirectional rotating bezel now has black markings on vivid orange backgrounds, paying homage to the vintage A3648. The dial on the face carries over the black and orange motif, with matte black background with orange hands and a minute track. Additionally, the white Super-LumiNova in the hour markers and hands produces a brilliant green hue when you’re skimming around the ocean floor.

This watch maintains its remarkable 600m water resistance with ease thanks to its captivating screw-down crown, which is positioned at 4 o’clock. Additionally, you can view the complex internal mechanisms of the Elite 670 automated manufacturing movement—which has a 50-hour power reserve—thanks to its tiny diver’s design with a sapphire back. It also comes with the same five-link steel bracelet as its predecessor, which has an expandable deployment buckle that allows you to wear it over your diving attire in addition to on dry ground.

DEFY Skyline Chronograph

The DEFY Skyline Chronograph revitalizes nostalgia by drawing from a lineage of El Primero chronographs that stretch back to the 1970s. With its cutting-edge construction and expert engineering, timekeeping has never been more awesome.

Stylish pushers perfectly match the case’s carefully sculpted lines, and the screw-down crown’s star insignia adds a touch of style while guaranteeing 100 meters of water resistance. The dial, which comes in shiny black, enticing blue, or traditional silver, is as charming as it looks. It skillfully combines the original El Primero dial design with the well-known starry sky-patterned theme, which features etched four-pointed stars.

The El Primero 3600 calibre, which boasts a 1/10th of a second function and a high frequency rate of 5Hz moves this timepiece. The mesmerizing display back of the open star-shaped oscillating weight with bidirectional winding allows for an amazing 60 hours of power reserve to ensure that time passes smoothly.

Jaeger-LeCoultre unveiled an impressive collection of timepieces at this year’s Watches & Watches in Geneva. These include the captivating Duomètre Chronograph Moon, the elegant Duomètre Quantième Lunaire, the Duomètre Héliotourbillon Perpetual, and The Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. Every model is an embodiment of the Maison’s unwavering quest to fuse the pinnacle of visual perfection with cutting-edge mechanical functionality.

Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual

A stunning fusion of advanced mechanics and elegant design. The heart of this watch is the brand-new manual Calibre 388, which was created totally in-house. It has an amazing tourbillon that spins on three axes to create a unique “spinning top” effect, a first for the Maison. This 4Hz-beating mechanical marvel is complemented with a perpetual calendar featuring a large date display, showcasing the brand’s commitment to fusing sophistication with accuracy.

Within a redesigned pink gold case that pays homage to 19th-century savonette pocket watches, the Duomètre Héliotourbillon Perpetual combines classic style with cutting-edge technology. The 34-part case’s unique structure, which combines brushed, polished, and micro-blasted surfaces, adds to its visual appeal and harmonizes with the intricate movement inside.

Duometre Chronograph Moon

This remarkable watch demonstrates the brand’s skill at blending technical complexity with elegant design, fusing the lyrical presentation of moon phases with the accuracy of a chronograph. The watch has a special dual-wing mechanism that ensures that the precision of its timekeeping is not compromised by the energy consumption of its complications. It is powered by the recently designed Calibre 391. This innovative model is offered in two magnificent variations: the platinum version has a copper-colored dial and a platinum case, while the pink gold version has a silver dial and a silver hand-stitched alligator strap.

The watch contains two power reserve indicators, a moon phase and night-day complication, and a manually wound mono-pusher chronograph. Its newly designed case pays homage to the brand’s 19th-century savonette pocket watches. Through the transparent case-back, the openworked dial and movement showcase the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Duometre Quantieme Lunaire

With a design that is slightly more contemporary, the Duomètre Quantième Lunaire represents a noteworthy advancement in its line, which is known for blending precision with technological innovation. Its modified case and eye-catching blue dial give its traditional aesthetics a modern touch. The dual-wing architecture of the Duomètre ensures maximum accuracy by separating the power supply from the complexities and timekeeping functions. This maintains consistent precision and energy flow regardless of how the complications operate.

The Duomètre Quantième Lunaire’s technical power is equal to its aesthetic appeal. Its manually wound Calibre 381 displays Jaeger-LeCoultre’s expertise in watchmaking. Precise one-sixth of a second timekeeping is made possible by the unique seconde foudroyante display and the deep blue opaline dial, which are embellished with a variety of ornamental finishes. From the symmetrical arrangement of its sub-dials to the sunray-brushed and opaline finishes that produce a play of light and depth, the watch’s design exhibits a careful approach.

For Watches and Wonders 2024, Piaget celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Maison by expanding on 2023’s revival of its most iconic High Jewellery Watches signatures, coming back of their ultra thin P9 movement, and Piaget Polo couple watch. Let’s take a deeper look for each new model below.

Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon 

With a diameter of 41.5mm, a guaranteed water resistance to a depth of 20 metres and a blue PVD-treated cobalt alloy case, the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon appears to possess all the features of an everyday watch. However, its 2mm thickness and its flying tourbillon take it to a different plane: this watch smashes the record for the thinnest tourbillon watch.

Set in circular motion by a bridge encircling it, the carriage of the Altiplano Ultimate Concept Tourbillon completely subverts the current state-of-the-art technical principles. The signature engraved on its back, next to a sapphire crystal placed under the tourbillon, sums up the process that has driven Piaget since its beginnings.

Swinging Sautoir

In 2024, Piaget unveiled three exquisite new Swinging Sautoir, two transformable to be worn on the wrist. For the first one, the artisans created the twisted gold chains by hand, meticulously crafting single strands of gold into fluid links that fall harmoniously to be anchored with the timepiece. Each Swinging Sautoir case comes in a new, softly rounded trapeze case, a nod to the shape of the cases from the original 1969 collection. 

The Iconic 1970s-era colourway of blue and green is seen in a necklace of malachite and turquoise beads and flamboyantly radiating out from the diamond-paved set hand-twisted gold chain and interspersed with yellow sapphires and brilliant-cut diamonds. The turquoise dialled watch is suspended from a duo of precious gemstones, an example of Piaget’s playful sensibilities. 

Cuff Watch

After the 2023 Hidden Treasures cuff was awarded by the GPHG’s Ladies Watch prize, the Maison is introducing this season another take on this icon. Here, the black opal dial swimming with iridescent greens and blues isn’t so much encased as it is revealed within its hand-made gold chain cuff, each twisted individually by hand, the goldwork seeming to grow organically over the dial, coral-like in its asymmetry. A masterclass in Piaget’s use of colour and textured gold.

Aura

Now, for its 35th anniversary, the Maison celebrates this precious icon with the launch of two unique pieces set with beautiful hues of rubies, pink sapphires and diamonds. Masterful cutting and setting techniques allowed Piaget to create a face of thin rubies that radiate from the centre of the dial, the colour deep and saturated and beautifully juxtaposed with baguette-cut diamonds. 

A beautiful gradient of colours effect is expertly achieved in the second variation, with the deep red of the rubies imperceptibly fading through to softest pink sapphires and diamonds via Piaget’s incredible setting savoir-faire and colour matching. In two sizes, these audacious new additions to the Aura collection are at the very pinnacle of High Jewellery and Watchmaking.

Piaget Polo Date – 150th Anniversary Edition

Maison Piaget is once again bridging the gap between past and present. For this year’s exhibition, they have struck the perfect chord between the bright gadroons of the historic Piaget Polo and the casual-chic allure of the iconic Piaget Polo Date. This will take shape as a limited edition of a 42mm and a 36mm, both made of steel with a stylish rubber strap – a first for the 36mm. Each version will be produced in a series of 300 rare pieces.

Giving a nod to the signature gadroons on the original Piaget Polo, the dials of these two collector’s timepieces display the same stunning play of materials as their ancestor. This Extraleganza heritage, a blend of elegance and extravagance, was also key to the decision to offer a duo of timepieces.

So which one is your favourite? Those new collection from Piaget will be available soon at The Time Place boutique. Stay tuned for more information.
