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 Ressence Type 1° Multicolored Round

Ressence's signature design, filled with Vibrant colors

Ressence is a unique and innovative watch brand, known for its creative approach to timekeeping. The brand stands out in the luxury watch market for its distinctive design philosophy and technological advancements. Ressence watches are characterized by their original design, often featuring dial layouts and mechanisms that deviate from traditional watchmaking norms. It is evident that Ressence has positioned itself as a forward-thinking brand in the world of horology. Their watches, like the TYPE 1° DX3 are likely to appeal to enthusiasts who appreciate modern, unconventional designs combined with high-quality craftsmanship.

Ressence recently introduced the Type 1 Round Multicolour, a vibrant new addition to its series, following the earlier release of the Type 1 Round that featured a dark blue dial. This latest evolution in the core Type 1 collection is characterized by a brighter color palette and a streamlined design. It notably replaces the numerical indices on the minutes track with sleek, minimalist markers, building on the refined elegance of the original Type 1 Round's redesigned case. 

The TYPE 1° Round Multicolour features a case measuring 42.7mm in diameter and 11 mm in thickness, crafted from polished grade 5 titanium. The double-domed sapphire crystal top, complete with an anti-reflective coating on the inside, ensures optimal legibility and aesthetic appeal. The brushed titanium rotating caseback, a practical feature for adjustment and winding, adds to the watch's ergonomic design. Additionally, it has a splash resistance of 10m,Therefore, a few splashes of water will cause no damage to it.

At the heart of this masterpiece is a multi-colored convex German silver dial. The minute track is elegantly adorned with markers featuring a striking blue hue with prominent white indicators. The hour disc is presented in green, while the seconds are displayed in yellow, and the day of the week is highlighted in red, with weekends distinctly marked for easy reference. Furthermore, all engraved indications are filled with high-grade A Super-LumiNova, enhancing visibility and adding an element of sophisticated luminescence to the design. 

Powering the TYPE 1° Round Multicolour is a ETA 2892 base calibre, augmented with the patented ROCS 1.3 (Ressence Orbital Convex System) module, driven by the minute axle. This automatic movement, comprising 27 gears, operates at 28,800 vph (4hz) and offers 36-hour power reserve. Complementing the titanium case is a light gray rubber strap equipped with an ardillon buckle, providing a comfortable fit and a modern, stylish look. It's priced at CHF 16,800 which is equivalent to AED 70,500.
