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.

Hands on New H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Small Seconds Blue Enamel (Live Pictures)

A captivating Grand Feu enamel dial, with a new case and movement

On the occasion of Dubai Watch Week, H. Moser & Cie. presents the Streamliner Small Seconds Blue Enamel watch, featuring an Aqua Blue Grand Feu Enamel finish. The watch is presented in a new slime case that boasts a diameter of 39mm with an integrated bracelet. It's worth noting that it houses the brand's smallest movement, which includes a platinum micro-rotor—a first in H. Moser & Cie.'s history.

The Streamliner Small Seconds Blue Enamel boasts a 39mm brushed and polished stainless steel case, measuring a mere 10.9mm in thickness. The domed sapphire crystal on both the front and back provides a clear view of the dial and the intricate movement, making it a visual treat for watch enthusiasts. With a screw-in crown and a water-resistance rating of 120 meters, this watch is as practical as it is elegant.

One cannot help but be captivated by the aqua-blue Grand Feu enamel dial. It's a testament to the artistry of watchmaking. The dial features applied indexes provide a touch of elegance. The hour and minute hands are equipped with luminous Globolight inserts, ensuring legibility even in low-light conditions.

At the core of this timepiece lies the HMC 500, an in-house automatic calibre developed by H. Moser & Cie. With dimensions of 30mm x 4.5mm, this movement is by far the smallest of the brand. It boasts a 74 hours power reserve, a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz). What sets this movement apart is the inclusion of a platinum micro-rotor for the first time in H. Moser & Cie.'s history. 

The Streamliner Small Seconds Blue Enamel comes with an integrated steel bracelet, featuring both brushed and polished surfaces. The folding clasp with three steel blades not only ensures a secure fit but also adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the watch. The watch is priced at CHF 29,900 which is equivalent to AED 124,000.
