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.

Founded in 2018 by Kenneth Kuan and his wife, Chia Pei Qi, Delugs quickly established itself as one of the world’s leading names in high-end watch straps. Based in Singapore, the brand has built a global community of passionate clients and cemented its presence among collectors and watch enthusiasts around the world.Thanks to its meticulous attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship, Delugs collaborates closely with watch brands to create straps that embody harmony between design and functionality, bridging the identity of the timepiece with the personality of its wearer.

In a pioneering move, Delugs unveiled its new flagship boutique on the second floor of Singapore’s Raffles Shopping Arcade, marking the opening of the world’s very first strap-only boutique, a one-of-a-kind destination that celebrates exclusivity, expertise, and personalized experience.

While many strap specialists operate online or offer custom services without physical storefronts, Delugs introduces an entirely new experience through a boutique dedicated solely to the world of watch straps.

“There hasn’t been a single space where customers could see all the materials and options in one place,” says Kuan. “We wanted to create a destination where people could touch, explore, customize, and get immediate support, all under one roof.”The 993-square-foot boutique features a warm, elegant interior with a neutral color palette that blends the richness of light and dark woods with creamy whites and beige tones. The space was thoughtfully designed from scratch to reflect the brand’s identity and provide a welcoming, community-driven hub for watch lovers, a place to connect, discover, and be inspired.At the heart of th boutique stands the “Strap Wall,” featuring 486 individual compartments known as Strap Closets, each housing a pair of straps. These custom-designed closets and hangers evoke the look and feel of a luxury wardrobe, reinforcing the concept that a strap is the outfit a watch wears.

The Bespoke Corner highlights the refined artisanal quality that Delugs is known for. Here, clients can choose from exclusive in-store leather selections, take custom measurements, and personalize their straps with options like hot stamping, making each strap truly one of a kind.With this launch, Delugs goes beyond offering an exceptional product, it redefines what it means to buy and wear a strap, elevating the entire experience to new heights.Waqt is the official retailer of Delugs straps in the UAE.
