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 MeisterSinger Lunches the New Yarra Womens Collection

Elegant and feminine releases in steel or bicolor steel & gold

Watches have long been a symbol of creativity and innovation, reflecting the intricate craftsmanship and ingenuity that goes into their creation. One German watch manufacturer, MeisterSinger, has pursued the art of making exceptional mechanical timepieces. Renowned for its distinctive use of a single hand on its dials, MeisterSinger creates a unique, minimalist time-telling experience that stands out from conventional designs. This year, the brand is launching a new collection of women's watches named "Yaara," which is set apart by its elegant design in stainless steel or a striking bicolor steel and gold hue.

The name "Yaara" holds significance in various cultures, in Persian, it translates to "courage" and "strength," while in Brazilian mythology, it refers to a water and river goddess symbolizing beauty. In Arabic, the name means "little butterfly" or "a beautiful girl." MeisterSinger selected this name for their women's collection to embody a blend of feminine elegance and expressive style. The watch is available with a diameter of 36 mm and a slim thickness of just 9 mm, making it  balance nicely on the wrist. It boasts a sapphire crystal on the dial, four-screw closed case back, and is water-resistant up to 50 metre.

The dial of the Yaara features bold two-digit numerals in either gold or silver, complemented by a matching hour hand. A single hand gracefully sweeps across the 12-hour display, with five-minute intervals marking the time. The steel variants are available in three vibrant colors, ice blue, salmon, and mint, while the two-tone versions come in white, grey, and ice blue.. 

The Yaara is powered by the Swiss-made Sellita SW300 automatic movement, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offering a 42-hour power reserve. 

Each watch comes with an integrated stainless steel bracelet, available in full steel or a steel-and-gold hue. The steel variant is priced at EUR 2,790, equivalent to AED 11,500, while the steel-and-gold variant is priced at EUR 2,890, approximately AED 11,850.
