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 Hamilton Expands Jazzmaster Collection with Three New Editions

Skeleton Dials in Various Gemstone-Inspired Colors

Hamilton has maintained its commitment to precision and quality, becoming renowned for its military heritage. The brand provided the U.S. Army with highly accurate pocket watches and received numerous awards for manufacturing excellence. Hamilton also produced wristwatches for the military, and various models for the U.S. Navy and British Armed Forces. Hamilton has a strong presence in the aviation watch industry, creating functional and reliable timepieces for pilots around the world.

Among its standout collections is the Jazzmaster, launched in 2004. This collection exemplifies Hamilton's commitment to timeless design and craftsmanship, combining classic elegance with modern functionality. The designs are far from a military atmosphere, leaning closer to formal elegance. One of the latest Releases from the brand for this collection in the new year is a three of new timepieces with varying sizes and dials, from the "Open Heart Auto" model.

The Hamilton Jazzmaster cases are crafted from stainless steel, featuring a polished and brushed finish that adds both elegance and durability. The watches come with sapphire crystals on both the front and back, providing clarity and scratch resistance. The blue dial models are available in 36mm and 42mm sizes, with the 36mm version being 10mm thick, while the 42mm models are 11.5mm thick. The Emerald Green dial is offered in the new 42mm size. All models are water-resistant to 50 meters, making them suitable for everyday wear while maintaining a refined look.

The new models, featuring Midnight Blue and Emerald Green skeleton dials, offer a sophisticated aesthetic. The Midnight Blue dial showcases a design with an aventurine-inspired, adding a touch of shimmer and depth. The Emerald Green dial similarly reveals select components of the movement, creating an intriguing view of the inner workings of the watch. Both dials are complemented by a minute track at the edges and arrow-shaped indices, finished in nickel for the Emerald Green variant and gold-colored for the Midnight Blue version. These indices are paired with matching handsets, creating a cohesive and elegant design. Additionally, both models feature a printed brand logo at 9 o'clock and thin Super-LumiNova inserts on the hour and minute hands, ensuring readability in low-light conditions.

The watches are powered by the H-10 Automatic movement, offering automatic winding and a smooth 21,600 vph. This movement is equipped with an antimagnetic balance spring, ensuring enhanced durability and accuracy. With an 80-hour power reserve, these timepieces can maintain precise timekeeping for an extended period, making them highly practical for daily wear without the need for frequent winding.

The watches are available with either a stainless steel bracelet or a blue or brown leather strap, with prices ranging from CHF 920 approximately AED 4,050, to CHF 1,075 approximately AED 4,730.
