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 New MeisterSinger Unomat in Blue & Orange

Two limited editions with vivid hues are added to the iconic collection

MeisterSinger is renowned for its unique single-hand mechanical wristwatches. This distinctive design philosophy harks back to the earliest methods of time measurement, reflecting a historical lineage that begins with sundials and continues through the first mechanical watches of the Middle Ages to the advent of the first portable timepieces. MeisterSinger's commitment to this single-hand tradition not only celebrates the artistry and precision of mechanical watchmaking but also connects modern wearers with the timeless heritage of horology.

MeisterSinger has consistently showcased this time display method across a variety of releases, with one of its most famous being the Unomat collection, first introduced in 2021. This year, the brand is expanding this collection with two new releases featuring striking black cases and vibrant colors.

The new watches feature a stainless steel case measuring 43mm in diameter and 13.4mm in thickness, enhanced with a black DLC coating and a polished bezel. Both models boast a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, along with a sandblasted midcase and caseback. The crown is positioned at 3 o’clock for the international edition (blue) and at 9 o’clock for the Netherlands market edition (orange).

The watch features a matte black dial with a single hand and applied hour indices made of luminous material, available in blue or orange. The dial includes an outer minute track marked with white 15-minute intervals, and a circular date window positioned at 6 o'clock.

The watch is powered by the automatic Sellita SW 400 movement, which has been specially modified for MeisterSinger’s single-hand design. It is enclosed in layers of soft iron, providing protection against magnetic fields. The movement operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a power reserve of 38 hours.

The watches are available with either blue or orange rubber straps, depending on the edition. Each version is limited to 50 pieces and is priced at EUR 2,690, equivalent to AED 10,600.
