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.

Farer

Farer was founded in 2015 by Stewart Finlayson, Jono Holt, Ben Lewin and Paul Sweetenham with the aim of creating a line of quartz watches. Prior to this, Sweetenham had worked as a watch buyer for a duty-free company while Holt, Lewin, and Finlayson ran a marketing and merchandising agency in London.

Farer's initial product line comprised of nine quartz watches. In September 2016, the brand added three automatic watches to its collection, named after British Royal Navy ships used by British explorers. 

 Farer released a set of GMT and Diving (Aqua Compressors) watches in 2017, followed by a set of 37mm hand-cased timepieces in 2018. In 2019, they introduced a collection of chronograph watches.
