Presenting Chronomaster Revival A385 by Zenith
Zenith is bringing back one of the earliest and most emblematic El Primero-equipped chronographs from the earliest days of the revolutionary calibre in the form of a Chronomaster Revival model. Keeping with the retro theme, the Chronomaster Revival A385 is available in two options that could have come straight from 1969: The first is the steel “ladder” bracelet, a modern remake of the Gay Frères bracelets that became emblematic of the early El Primero watches. The second option is a light brown calf leather strap that will develop a unique patina with wear and time. With its historically correct proportions, striking dial and unwavering El Primero performance, the Chronomaster Revival A385 is a welcome addition to the Chronomaster lineup by those who appreciate the timeless look and feel of this exceptional chronograph. |

Introducing the "Zweigesicht-1" by Marco Lang
The first model in the “Zweigesicht” series gives the future wearer the opportunity to show the currently fitting “favorite face” to the upside by simply changing the strap attachment. The special case-symmetrical movement construction allows the watch to appear slim and fresh despite the changeability. The proportion of the large 34mm caliber diameter to the 40mm case shows the demands on the quality and aesthetics of a precision watch. |

Tiffany & Co. introduces the Atlas X Collection
Tiffany & Co. has introduced Atlas X - a bolder, more modern update to the iconic Atlas™ collection. Inspired by the Roman numerals on the iconic clock at the Tiffany Fifth Avenue flagship store and evolving the original Atlas™ designs that launched in 1995, the Atlas X collection is about making your mark in time. There are three different motifs within Atlas X: Closed, X and Open. In the Closed and Open styles, knife edge profiles—a code of Tiffany’s since the introduction of the Tiffany® Setting engagement ring in 1886—are pushed to a magnified scale for a bold, visual impact. Incised Roman numerals create sharp reflections and shadows that emphasize strong silhouettes. The X styles feature crisscrossing elements that reinforce the collection ethos in a modern way on earrings, pendants and more. |

New High Jewellery collection by Chaumet
Chaumet revisits its naturalistic tradition with a new High Jewellery collection rich in contrasts. A new symbol in the Maison’s poetic herbarium and an emblem of beauty, the ranunculus appears in two distinctly singular and sculptural parures: Éclosion de Chaumet and Esquisse de Chaumet. In an ode to radiant femininity, the Éclosion de Chaumet ranunculus is enlivened with bright hues and illuminated with mandarin or tsavorite garnets or pink spinels. A tribute to the most emblematic of Chaumet colours, the ranunculus is interpreted in a panoply of blues, featuring Ceylon sapphires and tanzanite in the Esquisse de Chaumet parure. |
