Patek Philippe Unveils Frozen Nautilus for Watches & Wonders 2025

Exhibited alongside 14 other new models.

Unveiled at this year’s Watches & Wonders, Patek Philippe’s 2025 collection encompasses every aspect of the brand’s watchmaking expertise – from dazzling high jewellery pieces and high-complication masterpieces to refined interpretations of everyday classics. Highlights include a complication table clock reimagined from a 1920s collectible, a groundbreaking quadruple complication watch and a new Calatrava watch with an eight-day power reserve. The collection also includes a modern interpretation of the perpetual calendar, stylish additions to the Twenty~4 and Nautilus collections and the debut of a bold new Cubitus model.

Complication Table Clock 27000M-001
Patek Philippe draws inspiration from vintage table clocks once owned by renowned collectors James Ward Packard and Henry Graves II for the Complication Table Clock 27000M-001. Cased in sterling silver and embellished with green Grand Feu enamel and ornate gilded appliques, this table clock is driven by the new 86-135 PEND S IRM Q SE movement, a manually wound movement comprised of 912 parts. With a power reserve of 31 days and an accuracy of +/- 1 second per day, this table clock is a technical powerhouse in a timeless Art Deco style with a walnut veneer control panel beneath a hinged lid.

Quadruple Complication 5308G-001
Presented in white gold for the first time, the Quadruple Complication Ref. 5308G-001 combines sophistication with sophistication. Based on the 2011 Ref. 5208, this watch adds a split-second chronograph to the triple complication (minute repeater, chronograph and instantaneous perpetual calendar) and is driven by the new R CHR 27 PS QI movement. Composed of 799 parts and featuring two patented innovations to improve energy efficiency and precision, the watch aims to strike a balance between innovation and watchmaking tradition. Its calendar disc jumps instantly in 30 milliseconds, while the minute repeater has a signature acoustic beauty that reflects Patek Philippe’s timekeeping tradition.

Calatrava 8-Day Power Reserve 5328G-001

The new Calatrava Ref. 5328G-001 combines everyday functionality with exquisite craftsmanship, introducing a new concept of practical complications in the silhouette of Patek Philippe’s iconic dress watch. Powered by the newly developed manual-winding 31-505 8J PS IRM CI J movement, it offers an eight-day power reserve (plus a red warning for the ninth day) and features a vertically aligned instantaneous day and date display for a visually harmonious effect. The textured blue dial, with its black gradient bezel, luminescent white gold accents, and signature hobnail guilloché case, exudes an air of understated sophistication, while the patented three-piece clasp and two included calfskin straps offer comfort and versatility.

Grand Complication 5370R

For the first time in rose gold, the Ref. 5370R split-seconds chronograph adds a warm and luxurious touch to one of Patek Philippe’s most coveted grand complications. The brown Grand Feu enamel dial, with its beige champlevé enamel subdials and tachymeter scale, is crafted in 18K gold for enduring beauty and exceptional legibility. Beneath the dial is the CHR 29‑535 PS caliber, a manual-winding movement with classic column wheel and horizontal clutch, and seven patented innovations for precise chronometric performance. A shiny dark chestnut alligator leather strap with a new three-piece buckle completes this elegant and technologically advanced watch.

Grand Complications 6159G
Ref. 6159G reinterprets the perpetual calendar in a bold, modern style, combining high complications with stunning transparency. Crafted in white gold and framed with Patek Philippe’s signature hobnail pattern, the gray metallized sapphire crystal dial reveals the intricate mechanics beneath. A retrograde date hand spans the lower half, flanked by elegantly framed windows for the day of the week, month, leap year, and moon phases, all outlined in galvanic gray. Powered by the automatic caliber 26-330 S QR, this watch is a perfect blend of technical sophistication and modern aesthetics, and is presented on a stylish black fabric-style strap with patented buckle.

Twenty~4 7340/1R
Patek Philippe marks a milestone in the Twenty~4 collection with the debut of its complication watches, the Ref. 7340/1R-001 and Ref. 7340/1R-010 – both refined and elegant perpetual calendar watches for the modern woman. The 7340/1R-001 features a rose gold case with a shantung silk silver dial, providing an elegant, softly textured backdrop for the three subdials and the moon phase display. The 7340/1R-010, on the other hand, adopts a more contemporary tone, with a striking olive green sunray dial that brings warmth and depth to the timeless layout. Both watches are powered by the ultra-thin caliber 240 Q, are slim and elegant, and are presented on polished rose gold bracelets.

Complication 4946R
The Annual Calendar Ref. 4946R brings a fresh and elegant twist to one of Patek Philippe’s most practical complications, now in a versatile 38 mm rose gold case that will suit any wrist. The chestnut dial, finished with a shantung satin finish, lends the watch a rich texture that strikes a balance between sophistication and understatement. Powered by the self-winding Caliber 26‑330 S QA LU, the watch automatically calculates 30- and 31-day months, requiring only correction once a year. A denim-patterned calfskin strap with cream contrast stitching adds a touch of novelty, making this complication both stylish and practical.

Complication 5524G
Patek Philippe gives its aviation-inspired classic a fresh and sophisticated spin with the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Ref. 5524G, now available in white gold with an ivory lacquered dial and a rugged khaki green strap. Combining vintage pilot aesthetics with modern technical precision, this dual time zone watch is driven by the self-winding 26‑330 SC FUS movement, featuring an ingenious local time date mechanism that can be adjusted forwards and backwards. Patented pushers prevent accidental changes when switching time zones, while luminous black-gold numerals ensure optimal readability.

Calatrava 6196P
The new Calatrava Ref. 6196P embodies Patek Philippe’s pure design philosophy, conveying a sense of understated luxury through minimalism and vintage styling. The platinum case features satin-polished sides and a polished beveled bezel, paired with a rose-gilt opaline dial embellished with faceted “obus”-style dark grey white gold hour markers. At its heart is the manually-wound Caliber 30-255 PS, offering a 65-hour power reserve and a stop-seconds function for precise time setting. It is paired with a chocolate brown alligator leather strap and features a discreet diamond at 6 o’clock.

Cubitus 7128/1G, 7128/1R
With the launch of the new Cubitus models, the white gold 7128/1G and the rose gold 7128/1R, Patek Philippe expands its vision of contemporary casual elegance with bold, modern silhouettes. Both models feature a 40 mm case with a soft, square geometry that blends vertical satin-brushed and polished finishes to accentuate their architectural form. The white gold model features a cool blue-grey sunray dial, while the rose gold model features a warm brown hue, each with horizontal reliefs for added visual texture. Inside, the self-winding Caliber 26‑330 SC/434 powers the seconds and date displays, paired with a luxurious gold bracelet with a lockable adjustment system and patented folding clasp for an ergonomic and comfortable fit.

Nautilus 5811/1460G
The Nautilus Ref. 5811/1460G transforms one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic sports luxury watches into a dazzling piece of high jewellery, showcasing a sophisticated blend of gem-setting and craftsmanship. Set in white gold, the watch is set with 1,285 brilliant-cut diamonds and 195 baguette-cut diamonds, which are carefully arranged to highlight its iconic silhouette, from the baguette-set bezel and bracelet center links to the pavé dial and diamond-set hour markers. Under the radiant light, the self-winding 26-330 S movement ensures that this watch is as technically and aesthetically pleasing as it is beautiful.

Nautilus 7010G, 7010/1G
Patek Philippe adds a splash of color to its Nautilus women’s collection with two new white gold models – the 7010G on a composite bracelet and the 7010/1G on a full metal bracelet – both featuring an elegant azure lacquered dial with the collection’s signature wave motif. Powered by the quartz caliber E 23‑250 SC and set with 46 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel, the 32 mm case strikes a balance between sportiness and sparkle. Whether paired with a textured strap or a satin-brushed and polished bracelet, each watch expresses the Nautilus spirit in a sophisticated and playful way.

Zenith Blue Ceramic 160th Anniversary Watches

We’ve said it before and we’ll keep saying it until we’re blue in the face – watchmaking brands love anniversaries, and 2025 will have a lot of them, including 160 years of watchmaking for Zenith. While 160 might not be the most celebrated number, that hasn’t stopped the brand from going all out. If you’ve been following its social media channels, you’ve probably guessed what the theme is: blue. For this special anniversary, Zenith has spruced up three of its core collections in a bold and vibrant blue ceramic. Introducing the Zenith Blue Ceramic Pilot’s Big Date Flyback 160th Anniversary, the Defy Skyline Chronograph 160th Anniversary, and the Chronomaster Sport 160th Anniversary – three bold pieces that I got to try out ahead of their release, and spoiler alert, I was heartbroken when I had to send them back.

While Zenith is no stranger to color, it does return to blue quite often. The brand’s name is inspired by the highest point in the night sky – a symbol of achievement and success – making the stars and terrestrial skies a recurring theme in its logo and color scheme. While this (as with most brands) is a romanticization and marketing ploy, it appeals to my tendencies as a space and watch fan, and Zenith has accomplished this masterfully. Deep, vivid, and powerful, the specific blue hue that is present in Zenith’s products, manufacturing, website, and social media is no small feat, which makes achieving it in ceramic no small feat.

For those unfamiliar with ceramic watchmaking, coloring is an extremely difficult task. Many colors burn out when the ceramic is fired. If any remain, the saturation or hue of the color is often different. Fortunately, coloring capabilities have come a long way. In this case, the result is three stunning blue ceramic watches with a variety of finishes and some of the comfort you’d expect to see in a luxury watch. First up is the Pilot.

Zenith Blue Ceramic Pilot Big Date Flyback 160th Anniversary Edition
In 2023, Zenith introduced a new Pilot watch collection that follows the name it trademarked in 1904 for wristwatches and dashboard instruments. As the only brand that can actually put the word on a dial, the new Pilot collection has a huge responsibility on its shoulders—and it does exactly that. There have been a few line extensions and limited editions since then, and the new 160th Anniversary Edition is one of the biggest departures from this mostly plain collection. The 41mm-wide, 14.25mm-thick, 52mm lug-to-lug ceramic case is micro-blasted to a smooth matte finish. This finish is the same as the other ceramic models, but for a premium anniversary edition like this, I would have preferred to see brushed and polished finishes on the stainless steel models. The blunt lugs curve down slightly to fit the wrist, and because of the downward slope at the ends, it wears shorter than the 52mm length. At 14.25mm thick, it’s not easily hidden when viewed from the side, but considering that nearly 2mm of that is box-shaped sapphire crystal, it’s negligible.

Beneath the crystal is a matte blue dial with the same horizontal stripe pattern found on all new Zenith Pilot watches. Whether reminiscent of a fuselage or high-priced luggage, this pattern contrasts nicely with the polished applique hour markers, which are filled with green Super-LumiNova. Two oversized subdials (a running seconds hand at nine o’clock and a thirty-minute totalizer at three o’clock) take up a good portion of the dial real estate and inconspicuously cut into the hour markers, which will surely annoy some enthusiasts. The Zenith logo is printed along with the polished applique star pattern below the twelve o’clock position, which complements the large date window and “Pilot” text above the six o’clock bar marker. The layout is visually appealing, symmetric and, most importantly, legible even as the glossy white sword-shaped hands sweep across the subdials. The bases of the hour and minute hands are painted matte blue to blend in with the dial, while the white and luminescent tips extend to the edges of the hour markers and full-scale minute track, respectively.

Contrasting against the almost shocking azure blue are a set of brushed and polished rectangular titanium pushers and a large modern onion-shaped crown for operating the in-house El Primero 3652 automatic movement. This is the same movement found in the standard production Pilot, and it’s a joy to operate, with clear, satisfying pusher actuations, a flyback function and a quick-set date mechanism. It runs at 36,000 VpH (5Hz) and maintains a 60-hour power reserve. It’s viewable through a sapphire caseback, and features a special 160th anniversary skeletonized rotor. The caseback is secured by four screws, and it’s water-resistant up to 100 meters.

The soft grey of the titanium crown and pushers pairs perfectly with the Zenith blue hue, and I wish the strap would reflect that hue as well. However, the Zenith Blue Ceramic Pilot’s Chronograph Big Date Flyback 160th Anniversary comes with two blue and white Cordura-effect rubber straps, both with steel butterfly folding clasps. I’m not a fan of this clasp, personally. It’s long, finicky, and often gets caught when closed, but you may feel differently. Fortunately, both straps feature Zenith’s tool-free change mechanism, which hooks directly onto a standard spring bar. If I were to purchase this watch, I’d probably go for the grey NATO-style strap. I wish Zenith would offer a strap with titanium hardware to match the crown and pushers, and I’m also leaning into the Pilot name. For now, the Blue Ceramic Pilot’s Chronograph Flyback 160th Anniversary is an interesting expansion to the relatively new line, and a good choice if you can stomach the colour blue. best replica watch site

Zenith Blue Ceramic Defy Skyline Chronograph 160th Anniversary Edition
Arguably the most modern design in the Zenith catalog is its Defy Skyline on an integrated bracelet. It comes in a variety of colors and sizes, with or without gemstones—take your pick—you can go for complex, dazzling or psychedelic, even in ceramic—but until today it was only available in black and polarized white. I won’t say much, the blue one is just awesome. This ultra-faceted modern design shines in steel and titanium, but the unpainted ceramic version has always left me cold. The case’s best features are either shrouded in darkness or washed away by a flash of white. But in blue, the stark transitions between brushed and polished edges, the bevels on each link, and the quirky trapezoidal cuboid pushers and dodecahedron bezel are all very eye-catching. It’s a symphony of architectural modernity—a snapshot of today’s luxury industry, with quiet and loud luxury competing for headlines. As the pendulum swings back toward the latter, Zenith has hit it big with one of the hottest (albeit dated) trends, the integrated bracelet, and it’s taking it to the climax in a blue so vivid that LVMH’s sister brand might need earplugs. That might seem a bit over the top, but the fact is that this iteration (really, a new version of an existing design) resonates with me even when the others haven’t. Now, just because I’m praising this Zenith Blue Ceramic Defy Skyline Chronograph 160th Anniversary Edition doesn’t mean it’s perfect—it has its faults, which we’ll get to. But first, a few specs that you can skip if you’re familiar with the model, as they’re all identical except for the blue color.

The Blue Ceramic Integrated Bracelet case is 42mm wide, 12.7mm thick, and 47.4mm lug-to-lug, not including the bracelet curvature. But as you can see from the photos on my 6.6-inch wrist, the added length of the ceramic bracelet and blue rubber strap when draped around my wrist isn’t an issue, and probably won’t be an issue for wrists 6.25 inches or larger. The case is brushed and polished for a very refined look. When ceramic is expertly finished this way, it looks like a lifelike rendering, and it will stay that way thanks to ceramic’s incredible hardness. It won’t scratch, but it may shatter if you knock on it too hard—buyer beware.

The 160th Anniversary El Primero 3600 automatic movement is visible through the flat sapphire crystals on the front and back. It beats at 5Hz, has a 60-hour power reserve, and features a Zenith 1/10-second chronograph. Subdials at three, six, and nine o’clock feature a sixty-second counter, a sixty-minute counter, and a running seconds hand, respectively. Each subdial is snailed to contrast with the semi-glossy dial, which is adorned with the Defy collection’s four-pointed star motif. The matching chapter ring features a 1/10 second scale, and a set of beveled polished baton hands are easy to read at a glance. The date is at the 4:30 position, which will continue to be a source of complaint. I wish it was moved to the 6 o’clock position on the Defy Skyline, as the design is more modern and the symmetry is appropriate, but this is not a big issue for me. The ceramic pushers and matching screw-down crown operate the movement as expected, with clear tactile starts and resets, while ensuring ample water resistance of 10ATM. The ceramic crown does have some sharp edges that will snag on clothing, but not enough to cause any irritation to the back of the wrist when in use. The bracelet and included rubber strap use a tool-free replacement system that is easy and secure, but the bracelet does require a tool for resizing using the pin and collar structure. The rubber strap uses the same butterfly folding clasp mentioned earlier, while the bracelet uses a standard two-button butterfly clasp with no micro-adjustment feature. This is a big downfall of many watches with integrated bracelets. Fine adjustments with this style of clasp are certainly possible and should be included in this price point, but more on that later.

Zenith Chronomaster Sport 160th Anniversary in Blue Ceramic
Last but not least, there’s the Chronomaster Sport – the first all-ceramic model in the collection and a serious contender for the GADA title. While the standard Chronomaster Sport bears more than a passing resemblance to other popular luxury chronographs (David has compared them in case you missed them), the Blue Ceramic 160th Anniversary stands out in its own right, sporting one of the best dials Zenith has produced in recent years. Likewise, the dimensions are familiar, measuring 41mm in diameter, 13.6mm thick, and 47mm from lug to lug. The same 160th anniversary El Primero 3600 automatic movement as the Defy Skyline is visible through the sapphire caseback, and the dial follows the same layout with a running seconds hand at 9 o’clock, a 60-minute counter at 6 o’clock, a 60-second counter at 3 o’clock, and the date at 4:30. Maybe I’m a bit of a traditionalist, but the 4:30 date on the Chronomaster Sport works for me, as it feels more like a traditional El Primero than a Defy Skyline, so I wouldn’t choose to move it here. Full ceramic pump-style pushers operate the 1/10-second 5Hz chronograph, and the screw-down crown ensures 100 meters of water resistance. grand seiko replica watch

The fully polished ceramic bezel is engraved with a 1/10-second scale filled with non-luminous white ink. It overhangs the body of the case slightly, so it looks larger than it actually is when viewed straight on. The case sides are fully polished, with gentle curves flowing along the length of the middle case and wrapping into the bevels of the lugs. The ceramic case has a sharp transition to the brushed top surfaces of the lugs, integrating almost seamlessly with the end links of the bracelet. The fully articulated three-link bracelet is brushed and polished with crisp bevels. It drapes smoothly over the wrist, features double-sided screws, and ends with a standard flip-lock clasp. Still, Zenith doesn’t have an instant fine-adjustment mechanism, so this full-ceramic clasp has an outdated, almost unacceptable spring-bar adjustment with five size positions. I talk about this often, but comfort is a top priority when wearing a watch.

While the blue ceramic case is indeed the highlight of this watch and the 160th collection, the dial of this Chronomaster Sport is something very special. The traditional three-color overlapping subdials feature stepped and snailed interiors and raised edges. The background of the dial is a deep, rich blue with a subtle lapis lazuli-like marbling in most lighting conditions, but it comes alive through a subtle sunburst finish that I couldn’t capture with my camera. The semi-glossy surface has noticeable depth, and the printed minute track, “Swiss Made” text, and “Zenith El Primero 36000 vph” branding appear to float slightly above the blue base color. While subtle and not everyone can see it with the naked eye, this detail takes this Chronomaster Sport to the next level, making it one of my favorite branded dials in recent years. The dial is finished with rhodium-plated hour markers and matching hands, both with Super-LumiNova for legibility in low-light conditions. The dial is covered with a flat sapphire crystal that is almost invisible in certain situations. A blue rubber strap is also included, which complements the word “Sports”.

As far as anniversaries go, the 160th is certainly impressive. It may not be as grand as a round number like 150, or as prestigious as a 200th anniversary, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth celebrating. With that in mind, and the fact that watch brands often overuse insignificant anniversaries, I feel like this 160th anniversary collection strikes a perfect balance. It celebrates a worthy anniversary while showcasing three of the brand’s famous El Primero chronographs in well-made, beautifully finished modern materials and eye-catching colors. I doubt this will be the last we see of this blue ceramic, and I look forward to more, as it’s the perfect hue in my opinion. swiss urwerk replica watches

Supercar legend on your wrist: Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon

In the watchmaking world, there are only a handful of works that can perfectly combine mechanical craftsmanship and cross-border inspiration and reach the pinnacle. Jacob & Co.’s Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is definitely one of the best. This watch has amazed everyone since its birth and has become the focus of discussion, closely linking the ultimate charm of Bugatti supercars with the exquisite craftsmanship of high-end watchmaking.

Origin of the cooperation: the passionate collision of supercars and watchmaking
In 2019, Bugatti Automobiles and Jacob & Co. reached a cooperation agreement to create an unprecedented supercar-inspired timepiece. The common obsession of the two parties for ultimate luxury, mechanical performance and exquisite craftsmanship laid a solid foundation for the cooperation. Bugatti’s cutting-edge design concept and innovative spirit ignited Jacob & Co.’s creative passion and opened up a new exploration in the field of watchmaking.

Design: A subtle replica of supercar style
The powerful aura and excellent performance of the Bugatti Chiron supercar are the core inspiration for Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch. The case lines are as smooth and elegant as the Chiron body. The size of 55x44mm and the height of 22mm are domineering and exquisite. The exquisite combination of 18k rose gold and sapphire crystal materials is just like the metal body and transparent hood of the supercar. It is sturdy and durable and can fully display the precision structure of the movement. reviewluxurystore.com

The dial layout cleverly draws on the Chiron dashboard. The central tourbillon tilted 30° not only effectively improves the accuracy of the travel time, but also creates a dynamic visual effect of a supercar diving and galloping. The hour markers and hands are made of rose gold with blue embellishments, which not only highlights the luxury style of the supercar, but also ensures clear and convenient reading. The power reserve display at 9 o’clock is ingeniously designed as a fuel gauge. Every time you check it, it is like checking the fuel level of the supercar, adding a unique sense of ritual to the watch.

Movement: A microscopic interpretation of mechanical charm
The JCAM37 manual winding movement equipped in the watch is a miracle of watchmaking craftsmanship. It is precisely assembled from 578 parts, with a power reserve of up to 60 hours and a stable vibration frequency of 21,600vph (3Hz). Among them, the unique 30° tilted flying tourbillon effectively reduces the interference of gravity on the travel time. Its bridge-free design makes the tourbillon seem to be suspended in the air, and it is agile and elegant when rotating, which is very ornamental.

The most amazing thing is the world’s first “W16 engine automatic device”. Press the button, 16 titanium alloy pistons move up and down in the sapphire cylinder in an orderly manner, and the crankshaft rotates synchronously and accurately. The entire animation lasts for 15 seconds, vividly and accurately restoring the working state of the supercar engine. This complex device requires many parts to work together, perfectly presenting the surging power of the supercar in a microscopic form on the wrist, which is amazing.

Operation: The perfect combination of convenience and fun
The fashion men watch has three independent crowns, all located on the side of the case at 6 o’clock. The left crown is used to set the time on the central hour and minute dial, and the adjustment process is smooth and smooth; the center crown rotates clockwise to wind the movement, and counterclockwise to wind the automatic device, which is easy to operate and full of fun; the right crown can be pressed to activate the W16 engine animation, instantly transforming the watch from a static precision timepiece to a dynamic mechanical work of art, bringing an unparalleled play experience.

Limited collection: scarcity creates extraordinary value
The scarcity of Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon makes it highly sought after in the collection market, and its price has been rising all the way, becoming a treasure that collectors are competing for, combining supercar sentiment, watchmaking art and investment value.

Wearing experience: the harmonious unity of comfort and style
The strap is made of high-quality rubber material, which is soft and skin-friendly, fits the curve of the wrist, and will not cause discomfort even if worn for a long time. With an 18k rose gold folding buckle, it is not only stable and reliable to wear, easy and convenient to open and close, but also complements the case, showing a luxurious texture. Whether it is paired with a capable business suit or a casual daily dress, this watch can be easily controlled and become the focus of attention on the wrist, highlighting the wearer’s extraordinary taste and unique personality.

Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon is a lofty tribute to the speed passion of supercars and the art of watchmaking craftsmanship. It breaks through the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, deeply integrates mechanical art with supercar culture, and exudes extreme charm in every detail. It is a well-deserved legend between wrists, worthy of everyone who pursues excellence and uniqueness.

Richard Mille and Ferrari team up for a stunning double-second tourbillon

This watch follows in the footsteps of the ultra-thin RM UP-01 often seen on the wrist of Pharrell Williams.

The RM 43-01 is Richard Mille’s fifth double-second tourbillon watch since the RM 008, which was launched in 2003. With each iteration, we’ve seen the concept mature, and this is the first time we’ve seen the watch presented in an asymmetrical manner. While the general feature set is the same, the RM 43-01 movement was largely designed from scratch over a three-year period. Many of the shapes and finishes on the final product are inspired by Ferrari cars, from the taillights of the SF90 to the exhaust pipes of the newly released F80 flagship.

The new RM 43-01 movement (which bears the same name as the watch) is a technical powerhouse. The movement consists of 514 parts set within a titanium baseplate, all of which come together to create an impressive complication. Motorsports played a big role in the formation of Richard Mille’s brand identity, and the inspiration for the RM 43-01 is clear from the outset, not only visually but mechanically as well. There’s a lot to digest at a glance in this watch, but the complications are presented in a practical, straightforward manner, even if the skeletonized case underneath compromises legibility.

The RM 43-01 Ferrari Tourbillon Split-Seconds Chronograph is available in two different versions. The first version features a titanium case with red and gold-plated accents on the dial and movement, while the second version features a Carbon TPT case made from hundreds of layers of carbon fiber with yellow accents on the dial and movement. Visually, the two watches each have their own distinct characteristics, highlighting the different strengths of the case and movement construction.

The focal point of the dial is the timekeeping elements of the chronograph, with the 30-minute totalizer at 9 o’clock being the only visible framed subdial. That said, there’s also a rather interesting running seconds indicator at 5 o’clock. This is actually a 60-second tourbillon, equipped with a free-sprung balance that oscillates at 3 Hz, with 5 arms on the frame indexed at 12-second intervals. To its left, you’ll find a decorative rear wing inspired by the tail of the Ferrari 499P race car, emblazoned with the car brand’s iconic “cavallino” prancing horse logo.

The real star of the show is the latest generation split-seconds chronograph mechanism developed by Richard Mille and APLL (Apérienne Loewe). The timing is operated via three push-pieces in the case. Operation is effortless thanks to the fine regulation, sensitive feedback and smooth movements of the mechanism inside. The mechanism is linked to the power reserve indication and the torque indication, ensuring that there is enough power in the powerbox to run the complications as expected, including a chronograph of up to 30 minutes and a split-seconds chronograph function, which allows the wearer to time two events simultaneously, with the seconds hand “catching up” to the first second by simply pressing a push-piece.

Every detail of this watch reflects excellent quality. From the contrasting finishes to the construction of the chronograph. As with many fake Richard Mille references, there’s something new to discover around every corner of the RM 43-01. The depth of the movement not only offers interesting views from the front and back, but also glimpses of what’s inside from extreme angles. It’s a tall (17.1mm) watch that curves to the shape of the wrist, and as such gives it a distinctly vintage Richard Mille feel. From the shape to the texture, this watch is a very unique experience on the wrist and, despite its small size, it’s astonishing to wear.

Also in attendance at the Paris launch was long-time brand partner and former Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa, who recounted stories of wearing a Richard Mille watch while racing (in those days, you could do such things). This is of course a signature move for Richard Mille ambassadors, from Rafael Nadal wearing the RM 027 at the 2010 French Open to the gold medal sprinter wearing the RM 038 at the 2012 Olympics. Massa’s presence underscores the brand’s commitment to developing watches that match the wearer’s performance without compromising it.

The RM 43-01 continues this commitment to motorsport and, in particular, to Ferrari, expressing a unique vision of the shared philosophies of both brands. Like experiencing a Ferrari, the RM 43-01 evokes powerful emotions through its sheer drama, which is exactly what this release should embrace.

NEW Urwerk UR-101

Entry-Level Urwerk UR-101 Gets the T-Rex Treatment

Engine-turned bronze.

Based on the first Urwerk watch, the UR-101 T-Rex is the independent watchmaker’s latest entry-level watch. It combines the brand’s signature swimming hour display with a bronze case embellished with a scale-like guilloche pattern.

Urwerk doesn’t often release vintage-inspired watches, but when it does, the design is reworked to make it distinctly modern. This fits in with the brand’s founder’s philosophy of looking to the future rather than looking back. This is the case with the UR-101 T-Rex. While it takes the same form as the vintage original, it’s easy to tell that this is a new piece.

The concept of vintage style is appealing, and while I like the idea of ​​a revival, I feel the “T-Rex” motif is a little too radical.

Copying the polished finish of the original might be unimaginative, but a more subtle locomotive engraving would be an interesting contrast to this watch’s avant-garde style. That being said, since the UR-101 was released in limited quantities, I can safely assume that new versions will be released in the future. best watches cheap

Vintage Style
The new UR-101 is Urwerk’s second historically inspired watch, following 2023’s UR-102 “Reloaded,” which was also based on the brand’s earlier work. Like its predecessor, the UR-101 retains the shape of the vintage original, but has been increased in width to 41mm and just under 12mm at its thickest point. However, the UR-101 remains one of the most compact and wearable watches in the current Urwerk catalog.

While earlier Urwerk watches all featured smooth, pebble-like cases, the UR-101 adopts the “T-Rex” finish that Urwerk previously applied to the UR-100V and UR-105. Inspired by dinosaur skin, engine turning is applied to the hand-painted bronze case, giving it a distressed finish that will continue to retain its patina over time.

The wandering hour display shows the hours via a hole through a semi-circular window on the front, which points to the minutes as it passes through the window. The time is set via the crown at 12 o’clock, which needs to be released via a pusher on the back of the black-coated steel case.

Inside is the UR-1.01V movement, a Vaucher automatic movement paired with Urwerk’s own wandering hour module. fashion men watches

Audemars Piguet Code 11.59

Audemars Piguet launches two stainless steel models in the Code 11.59 collection New automatic and chronograph models with grey dials

For the launches celebrating its 150th anniversary, Audemars Piguet has combined elements from its two most famous collections: the Royal Oak and the Code 11.59. Of the ten commemorative watches, five belong to the Royal Oak collection, including the Offshore and Perpetual Calendar models, while the remaining five belong to the Code 11.59 collection. It is worth noting that only two of these models are made of stainless steel, while the rest are made of titanium or precious gold.

Audemars Piguet now launches two new stainless steel models of the Code 11.59 watch. As the second stainless steel model in the series after the launch in 2023, Audemars Piguet has expanded the range of the series with an automatic model and an automatic chronograph.

Both fake watches have a 41 mm case and are made entirely of stainless steel. The automatic model is 10.7 mm thick, while the chronograph is 12.6 mm thick. Both watches retain the distinctive design of the Code 11.59 collection, characterized by open lugs, a thin bezel and an octagonal middle case. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and satin-brushed surfaces.

The lugs are a highlight of the Code 11.59 case, seamlessly integrated with the ultra-thin bezel and precisely aligned with the case back. This complex construction requires a precision welding process, with a special welding compound applied within the engraved grooves of the lugs, followed by laser welding and heat treatment to secure them in place. The final touches are applied by hand by artisans to ensure perfect aesthetics.

The case is topped by a hyperboloid sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, while the movement can be seen through the transparent caseback. The case is water-resistant to 30 meters. best copy watches

The new grey dial retains the design language of the previous stainless steel model, with an embossed circular gradient pattern. The design was developed in collaboration with guilloché artist Yann von Kaenel, who hand-carved the original master mold. Both watches feature the signature blue inner bezel, with the automatic version displaying a seconds and minutes track, while the chronograph adds a tachymeter scale. The chronograph also features grey subdials, blue outer bezels at 3 and 9 o’clock, and a blue small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.

The automatic model features a date window at 3 o’clock, while the chronograph has a date window at 4:30. The hands and hour markers are crafted from 18K white gold and coated with luminous material to improve visibility in low-light conditions.

Both watches are powered by an fake Audemars Piguet automatic movement. The automatic version is powered by Calibre 4302, while the chronograph version is powered by Calibre 4401, an integrated automatic chronograph movement with column wheel and flyback function. Both movements have a diameter of 32 mm, but the 4302 is thinner due to the significant difference in the number of parts between the two movements.

The chronograph movement is equipped with a vertical clutch that prevents the hands from shaking when starting or stopping the chronograph, while its patented reset mechanism ensures precise repositioning of the hands.

The caseback reveals the 22K rose gold rotor designed specifically for this collection, as well as the refined finishing of the movement components. Both movements beat at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and have a power reserve of up to 70 hours. https://www.reviewluxurystore.com
