HARRY WINSTON
Midnight Feathers Automatic 42mm
In 2012 Harry Winston brought together two age-old forms of expertise that, until then, nothing had destined to meet: watchmaking, the infinitely complex art of time measurement, and plumasserie, the rare and almost forgotten craft of creating art from feathers. The new Midnight Feathers Automatic 42mm now leads us on a fascinating journey into the deepest realms of the animal and plant kingdoms, for the colours of the feathers suggest the amber-tinted roots of vetiver, bulrushes and cedar wood. Each watch is a unique experience as each hand-crafted dial naturally varies with the individual feathers and the master craftsman’s touch. With infinite patience, each remige, or flight feather, is selected, coaxed into shape then laid in its exact position on the dial, using a loupe for the greatest possible precision. The visually striking marquetry plays on alternating colours, further accentuated by the perfect harmony between the pink gold of the case and the chocolate shades of the alligator strap.

EBERHARD & CO
Gilda « Precious White »
The latest creation from Maison Eberhard & Co., Gilda “Precious White” is the elegant proof that white is not an absence of colour but a merging of every colour into one.

These soft, harmonious lines enclose an engraved mother-of-pearl dial that is further embellished by a central ellipse of 50 brilliant-cut diamonds. Feminine down to the smallest detail, Gilda “Precious White” even sets its crown with 14 diamonds which complete to perfection this lesson in sobriety and sophistication.

PERRELET
Turbine Skeleton Réf. A3038/1A
A concentrated blend of more than 200 years of horological heritage combined with a resolutely innovative spirit, the iconic Turbine by Perrelet gets a complete makeover to welcome its first skeleton movement: redesigned dimensions, new aesthetic details, an evolution in materials. An authentic ode to transparency, the Turbine Skeleton reveals the internal structure of its entirely openworked Manufacture P-381 calibre. Exalting the beauty of this sculptural composition, the black aluminium turbine is fitted directly on the under-dial, itself openworked, so as not to obstruct the view of the heart of the watch. Spinning at full speed, the Turbine Skeleton provides fascinating glimpses through its openings of the mechanism’s ethereal architecture. Never before had it been possible to admire a skeleton movement in this way. The stunning vision is accentuated by the fascinating contrasting effects between the black of the turbine and the pink gold of the bezel and inner bezel ring, while the red-clad seconds hand lends the ultimate touch of style to this composition distinguished by its inimitable design.

Inside beats an authentic Landeron 248 calibre, made circa 1950. Fully restored, part by part, by Cuervo y Sobrinos, this movement brings back to life one of the most emblematic chronographs of the Swiss brand with a Latin soul. With its distinctively Fifties dial featuring a 45-minute counter and small seconds, the Historiador Cronógrafo Landeron Limited Edition forges a link between past and present, from the streets of Havana to Swiss watchmaking.

Sophisticated and ultra-contemporary, albeit with a timeless touch drawing upon the values of traditional horology, the new Renaissance Orange Torando radiates genuine visual power. Its generous black-coated case frames a skeleton-worked movement developed and assembled in the Aerowatch workshops. Forming a resolutely graphic composition, this slender mechanism affords a view of the fascinating coiling of the barrel-spring and the constant rotation of the various interacting wheels and pinions.

AUGUSTE REYMOND
Cotton Club Moonphase
Amid the tranquillity of the small village of Tramelan, at the heart of the Jura mountains, the cradle of Swiss watchmaking, time appears to have stood still. Here, in the Auguste Reymond workshops, watches are still made almost as they were in the early days of the brand, more than a century ago. The new Cotton Club Moonphase is no exception to this rule. Crafted in keeping with the grand Swiss watchmaking tradition, the watch beats to the rhythm of a mechanical movement hand-made in a highly exclusive small series. Its restrained lines, clear-cut, balanced design along with meticulous finishing right down to the smallest details, make this an authentic and beautiful timekeeping object capable of making its way unscathed across successive decades.

Almost a century after launching its first ladies’ models, the Silvana brand reiterates its vibrant tribute to femininity. With the new Lady Barrel collection, an authentic ode to beauty, the watch becomes a piece of jewellery, gently moulding and embracing the wrist. Through this collection, Silvana revisits the “tonneau” or barrel shape to achieve the perfect balance between soft angles and sleek curves sparkling with 42 diamonds. Standing out against the extremely elegant eggshell white dial, Roman or Arabic numerals (depending on the version) are interspersed with white diamonds lending a hint of eternity. A vermillion red satin strap or pink PVD-treated bracelet sets the finishing touch to the perfect visual harmony that gives this watch its unique personality.

MANJAZ
Apollo Premium Skeleton
Doing justice to its “Time to Swiss” campaign, Manjaz plunges into the very heart of traditional Swiss watchmaking and offers glimpses of the mechanical movement that beats inside the Skeleton Ref. 7703M. Certain of its secrets are divulged through an elegant S-shaped opening in the dial: S for Swiss, of course. However, this finely crafted mechanism – whose balance oscillates at a high frequency of 8 vibrations a second – only reveals its true colours when the watch is turned over. Then the mechanism can be contemplated at leisure through the sapphire back.

MATTHIA S & CLAIRE
Etrusca
Matthia’s & Claire presents Etrusca and once again displays its watchmaking and jewellery-making talent. The gemset yellow gold model enriching the existing jewellery collection refers to an historical period known for its magnificent goldsmithing: the Etruscan civilisation of which the Ticino-based brand reproduces the distinctive granulation technique. This consists of adorning the surface to be decorated with thousands of tiny gold granules and of fixing them to the piece of jewellery by soldering, yet without modifying their finesse. The bezel and bracelet links display this 7th century B.C. expertise now interpreted in a timepiece.
