Colorful Variation Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds Over the decades, the Reverso from Jaeger-LeCoultre has appeared with a variety of dials and different case sizes, without ever compromising the integrity of the original design. On that note, back in 2016, the brand returned to the stylistic codes of the original 1931 model to create a series of Tribute models. This year, recalling the early use of color that distinguished the Reverso, La Grande Maison introduced the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in Green. The rich tone of the sunray-brushed lacquer dial and matching leather strap is reminiscent of the deep green of the pine forests that surround Jaeger-LeCoultre’s home in the Vallée de Joux. CASE SIZE: 45.6 X 27.4MM CASE MATERIAL: STEEL DIAL: GREEN SUNRAY-BRUSHED LACQUER DIAL STRAP: GREEN CALF STRAP…

REACHING NEW HEIGHTS Richard Mille RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail Richard Mille’s RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillon McLaren Speedtail is the result of the brand’s latest and most ambitious collaboration with luxury British supercar maker McLaren Automotive. As its name suggests, this remarkable and unique watch honors the fastest, most advanced and most exotic road car McLaren has ever produced: the futuristic Speedtail. Just like the Speedtail on which it is based, the watch’s lines mimic the form of a water droplet, while bezel indentations evoke the bonnet openings and pushers recall the air outlets behind the front wheels. This model is limited to only 106 pieces, just like the exclusivity of the 106 Speedtail hyper cars. CASE SIZE: 41.80 X 48.25 X 14.15MM CASE MATERIAL: GRADE 5 TITANIUM, STAINLESS…

The Swiss watch industry is famously traditional. At the same time, it has also proven itself as incredibly adaptable, especially in the face of a global crisis. This is particularly true for IWC Schaffhausen. To learn more about the brand’s initiatives that allowed it to not only survive but also thrive in these trying times, we chatted with Florian Gutsmiedl, who in June this year assumed the post of Managing Director for IWC’s operations in Southeast Asia and Oceania. DAMAN: You have been part of the IWC family for over a decade now. Can you give us a brief recap of your journey with the brand? And what were some of the biggest highlights in that journey? Florian Gutsmiedl: I have always been a watch enthusiast and intrigued by the…

Last year, the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) made a quick and superb decision with the creation of an online platform for its Watches & Wonders concept. So, new products for 2020 scheduled to be presented at Watches & Wonders Geneva were exclusively featured on its online platform, watchesandwonders.com.

SYMBOL OF PURITY Richard Mille RM 037 White Ceramic Automatic Richard Mille’s RM 037 White Ceramic Automatic combines white ceramic, mother-of-pearl and white gold in a gently voluptuous combination. Moreover, it also has all the technical characteristics that ensure this collection is held in high regard, beginning with its skeletonized automatic-winding in-house movement. The pillars, which are also polished, accentuate the supreme elegance of the satin white gold case-band, while the overall effect is further heightened by the aforementioned mother-of-pearl and diamonds embellishing the dial. In many ways, the sophistication of the elegant and refined RM 037 Automatic in white ceramic makes it an astute addition to the women’s watch range. CASE SIZE: 52.63 X 34.40 X 13.00MM CASE MATERIAL: WHITE CERAMIC DIAL: MOTHER OF PEARL & DIAMONDS STRAP: WHITE…

TURNING BACK TIME Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope Omega has added its vintage-inspired Chronoscope to the Speedmaster family, taking inspiration from the brand’s very own chronographs of the 1940s. The Chronoscope is powered by Omega’s brilliant manual-wound, in-house caliber 9908 master chronometer visible through the sapphire case back. The three chronograph scales themselves allows the wearer to measure speed based on distance through the use of the Chronoscope’s tachymeter, distance based on the speed of sound through the outermost telemeter on the dial, and also to measure a human’s heartbeat through the pulsometer, making the watch visually striking and functionally impressive. CASE SIZE: 43MM CASE MATERIAL: STAINLESS STEEL DIAL: BLUE DIAL WITH WHITE NUMERALS AND SCALES STRAP: STAINLESS STEEL MOVEMENT: CALIBRE OMEGA 9908 POWER RESERVE: 60 HOURS WATER RESISTANCE: 50 METERS A…

A Celebration of Ceramic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding 34mm Earlier this year, Audemars Piguet released the Royal Oak 34mm in Black Ceramic for its Summer 2021 collection. Featuring a ceramic case and bracelet—a technical marvel in and of itself—the Royal Oak 34mm in Black Ceramic glistens under the light like no other. With the Royal Oak’s signature guilloché design that seems to get more and more intricate the closer you look, the watch is a stunner from every angle possible. Furthermore, the watch features 18K pink gold on the bezel screws, case back screws, hands and indices. Underneath it all is the Calibre 5800 movement with a 50-hour power reserve.

LONGINES EVIDENZA The very epitome of elegance, the Longines Evidenza is without doubt one of the truest expressions of elegance. Featuring a tonneau-shaped stainless-steel case and a gorgeous silver dial with elegant blued steel hands and blue painted Arabic numerals, the Evidenza is both unique and classically elegant. Its true mid-century sizing of 26 x 30.60 millimeters and thickness of 8.60 millimeters means that this watch will slide under a shirt or jacket cuff very easily, giving it that air of true heritage and elegance that Longines is known for. A true expression of pure watchmaking prowess and finesse, the Longines Evidenza is powered by the calibre L592 which gives it a very smooth sweep of the seconds hand, further adding to the piece’s overall elegance. Staying true to the…

Creating a follow up to last year’s Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication is no small feat, but Jaeger-LeCoultre has done it again with its masterpiece for 2021: the Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque. And then there’s the incredibly popular Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in Green, the Reverso One models featuring rare handcrafts and many more. If anything, this year’s lineup truly highlights Jaeger-LeCoultre’s supremacy in both haute horlogerie and belle horlogerie—high watchmaking and beautiful watchmaking. A major factor behind this quality is the fact that Jaeger-LeCoultre is a manufacture where designers, watchmakers and craftsmen work together under one roof instead of having one supplier here, another one there and so on. As such, it’s much easier for the brand to combine opinions, ideas and savoir-faire to create a watch.…

According to Panerai’s first creative director, Alvaro Maggini, the role of a creative director in the world of watchmaking is similar to one in the fashion industry. The goal is not only to work on strategy in terms of products, but to create a strong and coherent message in terms of brand image. “Watches and Wonders 2021 represents one of the most thrilling moments for me,” recalls Maggini, opening up the conversation. “We launched a very strong message linked to the Ecologico project, and in this occasion, we worked on a very powerful video which doesn’t show a product but conveys only our goal and mission.” And that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, to say nothing of what Panerai has created towards sustainability in the world of watchmaking.…

The Tank has for the longest time been one of the most iconic watch designs from Cartier. Tracing its roots all the way to 1917, it was an avant-garde piece that defied the norms at the time of its debut—a watch with a rectangular shape in an age where round reigned supreme. It quickly became an icon of watchmaking and remains, today, a platform for constant innovation. Earlier this year, during Watches & Wonders 2021, Cartier unveiled a range of new timepieces, with highlights including new Pasha de Cartier models, the Cloche de Cartier from the Cartier Privé Collection and the Tank Must. The latter, in particular, attracted extra attention thanks to the inclusion of three monochromatic variants. The “Must” in the name of the new collection, however, is a…

Visually Enchanting Louis Vuitton Tambour Spin Time Air Vivienne Back in 2017, Louis Vuitton unveiled Vivienne, a character inspired by the house’s heritage and iconic Monogram flowers. Recently, this thrilling mascot has landed in the wonderland of women’s high jewelry, particularly in the new Tambour Spin Time Air Vivienne timepieces. Amazingly, instead of a central hand, this watch uses twelve rotating and tilting miniature versions of Vivienne to display the hours in a playful and charming way. In particular, every 60 minutes, two mascots spin around instantly. Each hour ends with one profile of a Vivienne revealing its neutral side, making way for the next hour.

HARMONIOUS BALANCE A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar The new Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar from A. Lange & Söhne is available in two versions, the first one comes in pink gold with a gray solid-silver dial and also as a 150-watch limited edition in white gold with a solid pink-gold dial. As the name implies, the perpetual calendar is the central complication of the Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar, but it is not the only one. The watch additionally features a moon-phase display with an integrated day/night indicator. Aside to that, the ring-shaped month display up front is complemented with the Lange outsize date, a retrograde day-of-week display and a leap-year indication.

THE ANNUAL CALENDAR CHRONOGRAPH REF. 5905/1A-001 The chronograph has always played a leading role amid the vast repertoire of Patek Philippe’s complicated watches. This year, the manufacture combines two practical and easy-to-use complications, a self-winding flyback chronograph and a patented annual calendar, in the new Ref. 5905. Previously launched as a platinum model in 2015, then in rose gold in 2019, the Ref. 5905 is a reinterpretation of this much soughtafter model and is the first version in steel—which is a rare metal in the Patek Philippe collections—with a three-link integrated bracelet. Mind you, this bold and casual design renews the way a Patek Philippe complication watch is worn on a daily basis. Up front, the extremely rhythmical dial features a new elegant and contemporary sunburst olive green color. It…

This year, Swiss avant-garde watch brand TAG Heuer has given its fans—and watch enthusiasts in general—a lavish spread of exciting new releases. There are updates on the iconic Aquaracer and Carrera lines as well as eye-catching collaborations with Porsche and Nintendo.

DAMAN: This year we’ve seen a lot of exciting releases from TAG Heuer, from the new generation Aquaracer to new functionalities for the Connected Watch family, new Formula 1 Chronograph models and…

Whether you have a Dan Henryesque collection of priceless vintage watches or are an aspiring watch enthusiast, one thing that binds all of us together is our appreciation for immaculately designed timepieces. And though we all strive to someday possess that one unattainable watch which spurred us into the wonderful world of watch collecting, microbrand can certainly help us scratch that itch. As the term itself clearly suggests, microbrand watches are made in limited quantities by small companies. Quite a few of these brands have been popping up in recent years, offering a wide variety of designs, including—most notably—classic reimagining of vintage timepieces, often with a very welcome modern twist to it. Now, the scale of the production will mean that most of these watch brands will have to charge…

Ode to the Night Sky Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Dazzling Moon Lazura Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Rendez-Vous Dazzling Moon Lazura unites the codes of fine watchmaking and high jewelry in an exquisite ode to the romance of the night sky. Created in the spirit of jewelry watches, it unites the rich blue of lapis lazuli with the sparkle of diamonds, the subtle warmth of pink gold and the mother-of-pearl as well as the concentric circles of brilliant-cut diamonds surrounding the dial. Aside to that, the applied floral numerals—which is a Rendez-Vous signature—mark the hours on the upper part of the dial. As a glittering new interpretation of the large moon-phase display, the watch is an exuberant tribute to feminine allure and the beauty of the night sky.

The legend of the Reverso began on the polo fields of India, where the revolutionary idea of a case that could be flipped over was born and patented back in 1931. From its genesis, through 90 years of evolution and countless variations, the Reverso has continually reinvented itself without ever compromising its identity. This year, it culminates with the extraordinary Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque. As the world’s first watch with four faces and the most complicated Reverso timepiece ever made, this marvelous timepiece features a total of 11 complications, including a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, as well as indications of the synodic, draconic and anomalistic cycles which have never before been presented together in a wristwatch. However, the most unique character of this timepiece is revealed on the…
