Rebellion launches its champagne in two limited editions
Rebellion presented its first champagne in the lounges of the La Caserne Chanzy hotel. This exceptional vintage, 2015, is blended using a specific vinification process developed in accordance with the high standards of the Champagne house Carbon. Like the state-of-the-art mechanics incorporated into Rebellion watches, this Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru made from Chardonnay is presented in forged-carbon bottles that match its remarkable quality. A world first! Never before has a bottle been machined from this high-tech material. This tour de force was achieved after one year of research and development to prove this innovative technique essential for the production of an edition of 1,000 bottles. All stages of the manufacturing process were carried out by hand in the Carbon workshops. A traditional artisanal approach was therefore developed for the design of the bottles, the bottling of the champagne, and also the labelling. |

Clash [Un]Limited Collection by Cartier
More mesmerising than ever, the latest Clash de Cartier jewellery pieces rebel against classic forms. With their exaggerated volumes, intense black, oversized studs and bold wearing options, they reinvent Clash de Cartier. An expression of extreme tension, a clash of opposites: geometric lines combined with inflated volumes. These new jewellery pieces echo and amplify the clash of two opposing attitudes. A collection of exclusive limited edition jewellery pieces that highlight the Clash de Cartier stud. Excessive, spiky and voluminous. A radical approach to precious jewellery in white and in black, occasionally punctuated with hints of purple. As a leading globally conscious brand, Cartier is committed to sustainably and responsibly sourcing its materials. A commitment that is illustrated by the responsible sourcing of diamonds from areas which are free from conflict, in compliance with the Kimberley Process and World Diamond Council regulations.

Louis Moinet presents HEAT - The Conquest of Fire
HEAT represents the strength that man develops when he overcomes the challenges he faces. The conquest of fire is a prime example. HEAT reminds us that the future of humanity is closely linked to the fate of the planet. From time immemorial, man has had to fight for his survival, and it is by developing his connection with nature that he has succeeded. Louis Moinet (1768-1853) gave great importance to man's relationship with nature. It was in this capacity that he met Breguet, in order to study “brute strength”. These observations enabled him to carry out his own quest by inventing the chronograph in order to observe the astral world. For Les Ateliers Louis Moinet, HEAT is part of a global reflection today to enhance the extraordinary creations of our ancestors. In this respect, let us refer to the latest interpretation of the chronograph (MEMORIS) as well as the recent presentation of the "8 MARVELS OF THE WORLD". |

Panerai celebrates the UAE Golden Jubilee with a Limited Edition Timepiece
Panerai is the product of distinct traditions rooted in two different countries: the sophistication of Swiss watchmaking artistry and an illustrious history of design inheritance from Italy. A destination with its own unique qualities inspired a brand new Panerai watch: the Luminor GMT Spirit of the Union (PAM01971), available exclusively at the Panerai boutiques in the United Arab Emirates. Available in a limited edition of only 200 pieces, Panerai created the Luminor GMT Spirit of the Union to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formation of the United Arab Emirates, a significant milestone in the young nation’s history. The watch’s P.9010/GMT caliber alludes to the history of the UAE: a green GMT hand and rubberized crown recall the colors of the national flag, as does the shimmering black sun-brushed dial, while an engraving on the caseback reads “Year of the Fiftieth” in English and Arabic. Even the reference number—PAM01971, refers to the date of the UAE’s founding half a century ago. The watch is accompanied by 4 rubber straps, red, green, white & black, as a recall to the nation’s flag and a black alligator strap as an elegant finishing touch for the watch.

Claude Meylan presents Tortue Lady
The “Claude Meylan” Tortue Lady is a fascinating and alluring mechanical sculpture, blending the femininity of sensual curves with a contemporary look. Its architecture is designed to seamlessly integrate with the soft lines of its “turtle” design case. The movement is partially revealed, which add a feminine yet sober style to this treasure. The beauty of its form is complemented by the beating of its balance wheel and the oscillations of the rotor at 6 o’clock. The rhodium-plated dial is decorated with roman numerals and the 3 o’clock bridge is adorned with a fine sunrise guilloche, while the rotor is set with the same guilloche. Rotating freely and in harmony with your wrist movements, the rotor provides a unique animation to the Tortue Lady. The time indication is up at 12 o’clock with blue dauphine-style hands for the hours and minutes, and is balanced by the rotor at 6 o’clock.

Introducing the new S. Craft Red Devil
Limited to 15 pieces, individually numbered, the new S. Craft “Red Devil” is a skeleton watch whose movement is housed in a red colored sapphire case. The timepiece features a solid sapphire 40mm case that has been carefully machined from a single block of red colored sapphire crystal. It is almost entirely scratch-proof, and the process by which it is made into a finished watch case is extraordinarily difficult. The eye-catching heart of this watch is the skeletonized automatic ETA movement 2892-A2, which carries a typical power reserve of approximately 50hours and is beyond any doubts, one of the most reliable and trouble-free movements in the industry. The same goes for the rotor which is opened like the rest of the movement to allow a clear view of the wheels and pinions interacting. |

The new RESERVOIR Blake and Mortimer "By Jove !!!"
First piece of the collaboration between RESERVOIR and DARGAUD, publisher of the Blake and Mortimer series, the RESERVOIR Blake and Mortimer "By Jove !!!" takes up the graphic universe of Edgar P. Jacobs down to the smallest detail. It is Francis Blake who indicates the minutes with his arm, the hour and minute digits using the lettering of the comic strip. Equipped with the same mechanical caliber as the other RESERVOIR collections, the watch is distinguished by the absence of an indication of the power reserve at the bottom of the dial to leave more room for the design. Two characters in action in a composition as emblematic as it is dynamic, completed by a bubble using Mortimer's favorite expression" "By Jove!!! The digits for the minutes and hours also reflect the handwriting of the albums. It is produce in high quality serigraphy; the characters stand out as if in relief on the dial. |

Versace presents Icon Active

A mix between contemporary and casual, it’s the perfect blend of a fashion accessory and a luxurious watch. Available in a wide array of colors - suitable for men and women – features a transparent polycarbonate case enclosed in an IP champagne or IP gun cage held by four screws. On the dial, the Medusa at 12 o’clock is a strong statement of brand identity. Appearing right under her, the Versace logo is repeated on the top ring at 12 and 6 o’clock. Visible through the curvature of the inner ring, the Greca motif surrounds the dial with a subtle touch of refinement; while on the metal loop placed around the strap at 6 o’clock it becomes a powerful design element, adding preciousness and personality to this timepiece. |
