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 Ebel Announces a New Watch from the Sport Classic Collection

Sunray Dial Featuring a Design Inspired by the 1970s watch

The Sport Classic collection from Ebel is one of the most iconic collections ever launched by the prestigious Swiss brand. Since its debut in 1977, it has had a significant impact on the brand with its sporty design. One of its latest releases, the brand has introduced a new edition inspired by the original 1977 model, reviving one of its most beloved designs.

The watch comes in a satin-brushed and crisp polished bevel-rounded stainless steel case, offering a sophisticated design. With a 37mm diameter and a thickness of 8.63mm, it strikes a perfect balance between a sleek, compact profile and a bold presence on the wrist. The round polished bezel is complemented by five polished screws, adding to its refined, technical appeal. The dial and movement, visible through the case back secured with four screws, are protected by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment underneath, offering a clear view of the intricate details. With a water resistance of 50 meters, complemented by the crown decorated with the brand's logo.

The watch boasts a striking galvanic green dial with a sunray finish, exuding a rich and dynamic appearance as it catches the light. Rhodium-plated Roman numerals and faceted hands enhance its classical charm, while a white minute track around the edges ensures clear legibility. A date window at 3 o'clock adds practicality without disrupting the dial's symmetry, and the flat, diamond-cut, rhodium-plated sweep seconds hand adds a touch of elegance, gliding over the surface.

The watch is powered by Sellita automatic movement, caliber SW 300-1, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) for precise timekeeping. With a 56-hour power reserve, it ensures continued performance even after being removed from the wrist for more than 2 days. The movement also features a stop-seconds function, allowing for accurate time synchronization, and is equipped with a customized openworked rotor that adds a nice touch.

It comes with a stainless steel wave link bracelet and folding clasp, at price USD 3,000, approximately equivalent to AED 11,100.
