The New Patek Philippe Twenty~4 7340/1R Perpetual Calendar

Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 collection was Patek Philippe’s first dedicated line of feminine timepieces. The original model featured an Art Deco-inspired manchette (cuff) design, but in 2018, the brand unveiled the Twenty~4 Automatic, which is a round-cased iteration powered by an automatic movement. This year, Patek Philippe elevates the collection further by introducing a perpetual calendar complication, marking the collection's debut in the realm of Grand Complications.
Crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, the watch features a 36mm case with a slender profile of just 9.95mm, making it sit gracefully on the wrist. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Two dial options are available. The Ref. 7340/1R-001 features a silvery opaline dial with a vertical satin finish, evoking the texture of shantung silk that feature irregular texture, while the Ref. 7340/1R-010 presents an olive green sunburst dial for a more contemporary appeal.

Introducing Bremont Unveils the Latest Addition to Its Supermarine 300M Range

The newly redesigned collection features a blue color option

This year, Bremont’s participation in the Watches & Wonders 2024 exhibition was notable, as the British company unveiled several distinctive releases. Among these were the redesigned "Terra Nova" collection, featuring four watches inspired by early 20th-century military pocket watches, and the completely refurbished "Supermarine 300" collection. Continuing the company's tradition of ocean exploration and commitment to ocean protection, Bremont draws inspiration from the deep blue oceans with the latest addition to the Supermarine 300 collection, now available in a distinctive blue color.

The new Supermarine 300M models have been completely redesigned, now boasting a sleeker and slimmer case profile. Crafted from robust 904L stainless steel, the new symmetrical case boasts a diameter of 40mm and a height of 12mm.

 Designed with both crown and bezel guards, this silhouette ensures practical operation and enhanced durability, protecting against accidental adjustments or damage from shocks. The knurled-edged bezel, made from anodized aluminum, features trapezoid indexes. The case back is elegantly engraved with a map of the world's oceans, underscoring the intent of this practical yet elegant sports watch.This robust case offers 300m water resistance.

The dial features a captivating blue gradient design, adorned with applied indices infilled with white Super-LumiNova. Surrounding the dial is a blue ring with a printed minutes track, adding to the intricate detailing. Polished nickel-plated hands, also infilled with white Super-LumiNova. The Super-LumiNova emits a blue glow, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions. 

Powering the watch is an automatic movement, modified by Bremont the Caliber 11 1/2’’’ BE-92AO. This precise movement features 25 jewels, a Glucydur balance wheel, an Anachron balance spring, and a Nivaflex mainspring. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 BPH (4Hz), it ensures accurate timekeeping and offers a 50-hour power reserve.

The watch comes with a blue rubber strap and a stainless steel pin buckle and is also available with a stainless steel bracelet. Priced at GBP 2,950, which is equivalent to AED 13,800, for the rubber strap edition and GBP 3,200, which is equivalent to AED 14,900, for the stainless steel bracelet.
