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.

Trilobe is a next-gen independent watchmaker founded in 2018 by Gautier Massonneau, who also serves as the CEO. This Paris-based brand has quickly garnered attention for its groundbreaking approach to timekeeping. Renowned for its patented "no hands" time display, Trilobe utilizes rotating discs and three fixed pointers to indicate hours, minutes, and seconds, offering a unique and captivating way to read time. This innovative spirit was evident in the brand's first moon phase complication.

As Geneva Watch Days opens its doors, Trilobe expands the Nuit Fantastique collection with two new models, the Nuit Fantastique Ombre & Lumière. With these additions, Trilobe delves into the Art Brut, a term coined by French artist Jean Dubuffet, which translates to 'raw art.' Dubuffet, a pioneer of this unconventional art form, sought to transgress norms, challenge classical representations, and disrupt the cultural landscape of his time. He created tension and energy in his work by juxtaposing colors, bringing dynamism to his compositions.

The watch features a grade 5 titanium case made up of three pieces, combining brushed and polished finishes. It comes in two diameters, 40.5 mm and 38.5 mm, with a thickness of 9.2 mm. The domed bezel is equipped with a sapphire crystal that has a multi-layered anti-reflective treatment, complemented by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal case back.

The dial is available in either a white or black hue, featuring three rotating rings that display the scales of time. The largest ring indicates the hours, the minutes wheel appears within an aperture, and the seconds wheel alternates between a Clous de Paris center.

The new Nuit Fantastique is equipped with the X-Centric calibre, an automatic movement developed exclusively for Trilobe. This movement is 5.78 mm thick and features a micro-rotor. It operates at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers 48 hours of power reserve. Both variants are paired with a black leather strap with a titanium pin buckle and are priced at EUR 10,800, equivalent to AED 43,000.
