Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel

Few maisons are able to pull off elegant, dress watches quite like Jaeger-LeCoultre, and its new Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel provides the latest proof of that.

Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph

The Star Legacy collection receives an update this year with a new Nicolas Rieusse Chronograph available in two versions: a red gold and anthracite model, and a stainless-steel with anthracite dial.

As the name suggests, the timepieces honour Nicolas Rieusse, the French watchmaker who invented the first inking chronograph in the early 1800s. The watches retain its two rotating, horizontally-aligned discs — arguably its most distinctive aesthetic feature — showing a 60-second counter and a 30-minute counter.

The timepiece is driven by the calibre MB R200, a manufacture monopusher chronograph movement with automatic winding and column-wheel mechanism. It also ensures 72 hours of power reserve.

Panerai Submersible Chrono – Guillaume Néry edition

This is the first year since long-time CEO’s Angelo Bonati retirement – and all eyes will be on Panerai’s newest batch of watches, including the Submersible Chrono – Guillaume Néry edition. The new diver’s professional timepiece is inspired by the world record-breaking French free-diving champion.

The novelty has all the hallmarks of a professional diver’s watch, including a unidirectional rotating bezel and luminous white markers for enhanced legibility underwater.

Engraved on the caseback are the champion’s signature and his record dive of 126 metres. The timepiece runs on the manufacture automatic P.9100 calibre with a power reserve of three days.

Piaget Altiplano with meteorite dial

Piaget looks to outer space for inspiration this year – and has found it in meteorites.

The brand will present two timepieces, a 41mm pink gold Altiplano Tourbillon with a blue meteorite dial, and a 40mm pink gold Altiplano with grey meteorite dial.

The dials showcase a specific line pattern, known as Widmanstätten patterns, a natural phenomenon thanks to the presence of crystallised nickel-iron structures within iron meteorites.

The blue meteorite dial version, which includes a ring of diamonds on the case, runs on the calibre 670P and is limited to 28 pieces. The grey meteorite version is driven by the calibre 1203P and is limited to 300 pieces.
