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.

Hublot continues to embrace experiential luxury through special editions created in collaboration with elite brands and various sports. The brand extends this journey with the launch of the Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One, which made its debut on March 8 at the inaugural Snow League Championships at Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado.

This timepiece marks the third special edition crafted in partnership with Aspen One since 2019. The organization oversees winter sports and high-end hospitality in the world-famous ski town, further strengthening Hublot’s connection to Aspen’s exclusive alpine lifestyle.

The Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One embodies its distinctive "mountain DNA" (as Hublot describes it) through a combination of design elements. The 45mm case, crafted from microblasted black ceramic, measures 15.96mm thick and offers 100-meter water resistance.

Its white ceramic bezel, secured by the six hallmark H-shaped screws of the Big Bang collection, is polished to create a striking contrast, an aesthetic nod to the interplay between snow-covered peaks and rugged alpine terrain.

On the skeletonized dial, Aspen’s heritage is subtly integrated. At 12 o’clock, the Aspen Leaf logo symbolizes the city. The high-shine titanium accents pay homage to Aspen’s silver mining legacy. The layout features a small seconds display at 9 o’clock, the balance wheel at 7 o’clock, and the rack system at 12 o’clock, also known as the gear rack. The power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock is redesigned with this linear rack system, offering enhanced visual clarity.

At its heart, the timepiece is powered by the in-house MECA-10 caliber HUB1201. This manual-winding movement features a 10-day power reserve, achieved through its dual mainspring barrels. Comprising 223 components and 24 jewels, it operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz). The movement’s skeletonized architecture, with its exposed gear trains and bridges, reflects Hublot’s "Art of Fusion" philosophy. A rack-and-pinion power reserve indicator, with a red marker, provides a clear and dynamic visual representation of the remaining energy.

The Big Bang MECA-10 Aspen One comes with two interchangeable straps: a sleek white calf leather strap and a versatile black-lined rubber strap, both featuring Hublot’s One Click Mechanism for seamless customization.

The timepiece is priced at $27,400 USD, approximately 100,600 AED.
