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.

H992

From the heart of Swiss watchmaking, the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds, a new name has emerged: H992. An unconventional name, yet one rich with symbolic meanings. The letter “H” stands for Horlogerie (watchmaking), Hour, and Humanity, while the number “992” reflects the altitude of La Chaux-de-Fonds, where the brand was founded—precisely 992 meters above sea level.

Founded in 2022, H992 aims to deliver Swiss-made quality to a broader audience. The brand has succeeded in creating its own distinctive style, clearly showcased in its three collections: H1, H2, and H3. These watches combine exceptional quality with sporty designs suitable for daily wear, offering a range of styles to cater to diverse tastes.
