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 The New Bremont Supermarine Full Ceramic

Bremont’s first full ceramic releases in green & black

Bremont is renowned for its British heritage and aviation-inspired timepieces, and has long established itself as one of the most famous brands in crafting robust, precision-engineered watches. Among its iconic collections, the Supermarine line stands out as a tribute to the brand's deep connection with aviation. Named after the Supermarine aircraft company, creators of the World War II Spitfire fighter plane. 

This year marked a significant milestone for the Supermarine collection, with the expansion of the new Generation Supermarine GMT and a complete redesign of the Supermarine 300M line. Adding to this exciting year, Bremont is set to launch its first-ever full ceramic case, available in two striking variants, jungle green and tactical black.

The case measures 43mm diameter and 13mm in thickness, and is crafted from a single block of sand-blasted ceramic, complemented by a titanium container and a knurled titanium bezel that features a ceramic insert. The case back is made from PVD-treated titanium, and along with a helium valve, ensures water resistance up to 500 meters. The intricate case-making process involves molding soft zirconium powder and sintering it at 1,450°C under extreme pressure, shrinking the case by 23% to achieve its ideal hardness. 

The dial is available in either a green or black gradient, perfectly matching the hue of the case. It features applied indexes and hands filled with Super-LumiNova, emitting a light green or blue glow for exceptional brightness and long-lasting visibility in challenging conditions. Additionally, there is a date window positioned at 3 o'clock. 

The watch is powered by the calibre BE-92AV, an automatic COSC-certified movement based on Sellita. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a power reserve of 50 hours. The green variant is limited to 250 pieces and is available with a black rubber chevron strap or a black and green woven fabric NATO strap, priced at £6,450, equivalent to AED 31,000.

The black variant, featuring the same black rubber chevron strap but paired with a black and gray woven fabric NATO strap, is not limited and is offered at a slightly lower price of £5,950, equivalent to AED 28,600.
