Louis Vuitton Escale in Rose Gold & Silvery Dial
Established in 1854, the French Maison has stood the test of time and its iconic heritage has been merged with watchmaking expertise to create an unmistakably Louis Vuitton watch. A grained finish centre dial is an ode to its iconic Monogram canvas while punctuations of gold indexes and studs were inspired by the metallic pieces and lozine nails of their emblematic trunks.

Zenith Defy Skyline Chronograph
This one is for both men and women who take pride in being trailblazers. A timepiece which boasts over five decades of mastery in the automatic high-frequency chronograph movement, this features the El Primero calibre which operates at the high frequency of 5Hz and offers a true 1/10th of second indication. It acts as the heart of a stunning 42mm steel octagonal case with a faceted bezel showcasing the emblematic Zenith four-pointed star. W zenith.com
Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional
Academy Award nominee and internet boyfriend Barry Keoghan has long been a fan of the brand, and he makes his debut as the face of the brand with the iconic Speedmaster Moonwatch, now available in a gorgeous bi-colour version. This timeless watch, worn for every moon landing in history, incorporates stainless steel and 18K Moonshine Gold, which results in a vintage aesthetic which will set you apart from the crowd.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold Quartz
The Royal Oak is easily the most sought-after collection from the Swiss ultra-luxury watch manufacturer and its latest 23mm edition is its smallest interpretation yet. A watch which looks like it was touched by King Midas himself, it is available in either a 18-carat yellow, pink or white gold case and bracelet shimmer with a Frosted Gold finish, complemented by a delicate tone-on-tone Petite Tapisserie dial.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Automatic 36mm ‘Sunlit Ivory’ SHH Edition
For collectors who cherish refined, smaller timepieces, Parmigiani Fleurier and Sincere Fine Watches have joined hands again to create an exclusive 36mm timepiece limited to 50 pieces. The Sunlit Ivory colour adorning the dial is a subtle shade of pale cream specially created by the Maison for this SHH Edition which brings softness and clarity to the refined timepiece.
H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Centre Seconds
For those who aren’t afraid to push the sartorial and horological envelope, the ‘Green Dragon’ as it is known by collectors won plaudits far and wide when it was first released in 2020; but orders were halted to further develop the aesthetic and technical features of the timepiece. It now makes a highly anticipated return to include a transparent lacquer logo which increases viewing pleasure on both sides of the case and the new self-winding calibre HMC 201. Besides the lean, mean green machine, the watch is also available in a brand new colourway dubbed ‘Purple Haze’, featuring an intense purple dial with blue reflections. W h-moser.com
Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Flyback Chronograph
Automotive enthusiasts will want to take note of this particular Excalibur Flyback Chronograph, which pays tribute to Lamborghini’s SC63 supercar by mirroring its bold Verde Mantis Colour. A ‘Y’ shape bar on the dial illuminated in Super-LumiNova reflects the headlights of the SC63 while the 120-degree Rotating Minute Counter speaks of its modern mechanics. W rogerdubuis.com
