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. Unveils The Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton in yellow gold

A limited edition timepiece celebrating the opening of the new Menlo Park boutique in the US

The Streamliner is one of H. Moser & Cie.'s most iconic releases, standing out in the integrated luxury sports watch category that resonates with this generation’s tastes. Over the years, the collection has seen multiple iterations, and last year, the brand introduced its second skeletonized timepiece: the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton in stainless steel. Now, H. Moser & Cie. unveils the Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Boutique Edition in an 18k yellow gold case to commemorate the opening of its new Menlo Park boutique in the United States.

This release follows the same design philosophy that defines the Streamliner collection, with seamless ergonomic curves, and a fully integrated bracelet. The cushion-shaped case, now rendered in 18k yellow gold, measures 40mm in diameter and 12.1mm in thickness, including a slightly domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. A screw-down crown, adorned with Moser’s signature ‘M’ logo, ensures water resistance up to 120 meters. The sapphire caseback offers a full view of the movement.

The skeletonized dial features dark main plate and bridges with anthracite PVD finish, gold-plated baton indices along the periphery, with a double index marking the 12 o’clock position. The gold-plated hour and minute hands are equipped with Globolight inserts, a ceramic and Super-LumiNova compound. At 6 o’clock, the one-minute flying tourbillon is prominently displayed, supported by a skeletonized bridge. 

Powering the watch is the in-house HMC 814 automatic movement, featuring a skeletonized 18k yellow gold rotor. Comprising 167 components, the movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and offers a 72-hour power reserve.

The integrated bracelet, also crafted from 18k yellow gold, is secured with a three-blade folding clasp. It is limited to just 17 pieces, and is priced at CHF 125,000, approximately AED 505,500.
