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.

HYT

The Swiss brand "HYT" was founded in 2012 and is known for its innovative and unconventional approach to time measurement. The brand strives to break the barriers of traditional watchmaking through its unique concept known as "Haute Horlogerie 4.0". It has gained significant recognition for its exclusive mechanical-fluidic technology, which combines scientific and traditional elements to create a distinctive way of displaying time.

One of the standout features of HYT watches is the integration of liquid modules that use compressed fluidic liquids to indicate the hours. This retrograde display system is achieved through a network of capillary tubes, offering an attractive and dynamic visual representation of time. The fluid-filled tubes are controlled by a mechanical movement that operates the traditional minute hand of the watch.

In addition to their innovative technology, HYT watches are characterized by exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each watch is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in Switzerland, ensuring the highest standards of quality and precision. The brand takes pride in combining technical excellence with artistic creativity.
