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 Summer Inspired №03 Addions by MeisterSinger

Two new watches with different sizes and a fresh light blue hue

MeisterSinger is a German watch brand renowned for its unique approach to timekeeping, embracing simplicity by crafting one-handed watches that harken back to the basics of early clocks. This minimalist design philosophy not only stands out in a world of increasingly complex timepieces but also offers a refreshing perspective on how we used to read time.

One of the brand's most famous collections is the №03, a classic lineup with elegant design elements that has become a defining characteristic of the collection. MeisterSinger continues to innovate within this collection, now releasing two new watches inspired by summer. These editions feature an elegant black dial, light blue numerals that glow in the dark, and a matching light blue strap. 

The stainless steel case comes in the standard 43 mm diameter and 11.5mm in thickness, and a newly introduced option from earlier this year, measuring 38 mm in diameter and 10.5 mm thick, catering to those who prefer a more compact size. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, and you can see the movement through a mineral glass caseback. 

Other than the size difference, the watches are identical in aesthetics, as both feature a black dial with light blue double-digit hour indices from 01 to 12, the signature circumferential five-minute graduation, and the needle-tipped hour hand.

The 43 mm version is powered by the Sellita SW200 automatic movement, while the 38 mm model houses the automatic SW300. Both movements are specially modified for MeisterSinger’s single-hand watches and operate at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz). The SW200 offers a power reserve of 38 hours, while the SW300 provides 42 hours of power reserve. As we have mentioned earlier, the watches come with a light blue saddle leather strap, and share the price of EUR 2,190, which is equivalent to AED 9,000.
