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 Nomos Metro 33

Three unique colors with an elegant modern touch for the women’s collection

The Nomos Glashütte Metro collection was initially introduced in 2014. Next March will mark the collection's tenth anniversary, and to celebrate this milestone, the German company has unveiled three new additions in elegant colors designed by Mark Braun, the man behind the first watches of the Metro collection.

The trio comes in a 33 mm polished stainless steel case, Characterized by its sleek wire lugs, slim bezel, and the signature Metro crown with its diamond knurling, topped by a domed sapphire crystal. The watches have a total thickness of 7.5 mm with a lug-to-lug distance of 40 mm. For the case back, the trio comes with two options: a stainless steel or a sapphire crystal case back.

 

Each timepiece in the Nomos Metro 33 collection draws inspiration from different areas within New York City. The silver-colored dial mirrors the gleaming glass facades of skyscrapers. The muted red dial resonates with the warm, and inviting aura of classic red brick buildings, featuring a second's hand and minute markers in pink hue. Meanwhile, the sage green dial symbolizes the refreshing greenery of sprawling city parks and displays its hands in yellow hue for a fresh look. These hands are reminiscent of the stepped design of the Empire State Building, surrounded by large dot indexes indicating the hours. Arabic numerals are used for the five-minute intervals between small dots representing the minutes. Additionally, there is a snailed subdial for tracking small seconds at 6 o'clock. The silver dial is adorned with a sunburst finish, whereas the red and green dials are simply galvanized.

 

 

The timepieces are powered by the hand-wound Alpha caliber, in-house built by Nomos, operates at 21,600 VPH (3 Hz) decorated with blued screws, this movement offers 43 hours of power reserve and 17 jewels.

 

Paired with a high-quality vegan velour strap in velvet gray with quick-change spring bars, the new Nomos Glashütte Metro 33 models with all silver, red, and green dials with a steel case back are priced at 2,030 US dollars, equivalent to AED 7,500 , and the second version with a sapphire crystal case back is priced at 2,330 US dollars, equivalent to AED 8,600.
