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.

Kurono Tokyo

Kurono Tokyo is a remarkable watchmaking brand founded by Hajime Asaoka, an independent watchmaker operating out of Japan. Asaoka's journey with Kurono Tokyo began when he realized the need to explore new horizons and set himself apart from the well-known Japanese watch brands such as Seiko, Grand Seiko, Casio, and Citizen. As a self-taught artisan, he had built a reputation for his exceptional craftsmanship, leading to an ever-growing waiting list due to his involvement in every aspect of watch production.

The uniqueness of Kurono Tokyo lies in Asaoka's commitment to infusing Swiss watchmaking traditions with traditional Japanese craft, resulting in one-of-a-kind timepieces that often involve collaborative efforts with clients. Prioritizing precision and attention to detail, each piece can take a year or more to complete, showcasing the dedication and artistry behind these creations.
