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 H. Moser & Cie Releases The Streamliner Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon

Adding one of the rarest complications to the brand’s luxury sports collection

The Streamliner collection by H. Moser & Cie is the brand's luxury sports watch with an exceptional lobster tail bracelet. Initially introduced with a flyback chronograph, this collection has since evolved to encompass a range of sophisticated complications. These include perpetual calendarstourbillons, and skeletonized models, and the recently introduced variant in a simple yet elegant time-only display. Each piece in the Streamliner collection showcases the brand's commitment to precision, innovation, and craftsmanship. 

Now, the brand is introducing the Streamliner Concept Minute Repeater Tourbillon, featuring a minute repeater, and a flying tourbillon. All of this is presented on a beautiful blue grand feu enamel dial with a hammered texture. 

The watch comes in a stainless steel case topped by a slightly domed sapphire crystal, measuring 42.3 mm in diameter. Its thickness is 12.2 mm without the sapphire crystal and 14.4 mm with the crystal. It includes a Teflon slider for the minute repeater; Teflon is a plastic that provides a nonstick and almost frictionless surface. The crown is adorned with an “M” logo, and the watch is water-resistant to 50 meters.

The dial features an Aqua Blue fumé "Grand Feu" enamel with a hammered texture, with a  flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The polished hammers and gongs are visible between 9 and 12 o'clock. The hour and minute hands include Globolight inserts, an innovative ceramic material used for luminescence. Unlike traditional luminous paints, Globolight can be cut into various shapes and sizes.

Through the sapphire crystal case back, you can see the HMC 905 calibre, a hand-wound, partially skeletonized movement that operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and offers a power reserve of 90 hours. The movement features the Double Moser stripes on the plate and bridges, along with a decorated anthracite finish.

The watch comes with an integrated stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp and three steel blades. It is limited to 50 pieces and priced at CHF 269,000, equivalent to AED 1,102,000.
