When it comes to elegance, it pays to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Anyone can rock a fancy two-piece suit, but only a few can make unique luxury watches work.
From a limited-time creation to a ballroom-ready piece, these chronographs are designed to set you a tier above the rest.
Breguet Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255
In commemoration of the Maison’s 250th anniversary, Breguet’s recently unveiled Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 represents a significant milestone. T
Limited to just 50 pieces, the watch honours 26th June, 1801, a significant date in the history of horology, when Abraham-Louis Breguet received the first patent for his revolutionary tourbillon invention.
This watch’s dial is painstakingly crafted from aventurine enamel for the first time in Breguet’s illustrious history. It vividly captures the enigma and splendour of the night sky with its deep blue tone, subtly speckled with shimmering copper particles.
To produce a dial that is both technically remarkable and aesthetically poetic, this complex process necessitates multiple firings at extraordinarily high temperatures. Because aventurine is handcrafted, no two dials are exactly alike, highlighting each piece’s distinctive individuality within this extremely limited production run.
The hand-wound Calibre 187M1, a movement designed solely around its flying tourbillon, is the soul of the 38mm 18K Breguet gold case.
A gold base and a hidden tourbillon bezel beneath the surface give the impression that the tourbillon is floating, elevated 2.2 mm above the main plate and 0.9 mm above the enamel dial.
As a result, a horological constellation comes to life in a captivating display of symmetry and suspension.
Signature Breguet elements, such as a Quai de l’Horloge guilloché caseback and a proprietary gold alloy, complete the piece by fusing innovation, tradition, and celestial inspiration.
The Classique Tourbillon Sidéral 7255 is an exquisite piece that encapsulates the storied brand’s rich history. A single copy is priced at US$226,000 (~RM953,833). If you’d like to know more, visit Breguet’s official website.
Biver’s Carillon Tourbillon
Jean-Claude Biver and his son Pierre Biver founded the luxury watch company Biver, which has unveiled two new versions of its first watch, the Carillon Tourbillon.
The new references, which are available in titanium and two-tone with rose gold variations, reinterpret the technical intricacy of the original with a more subtle aesthetic.
Both models still have the Calibre JCB.001-B movement, which includes a tourbillon, minute repeater, and micro-rotor. However, the tourbillon is now hidden beneath a textured dial that is reminiscent of Automatique.
The vintage-inspired design is completed with faceted white gold hands, applied hour markers, and a white gold chemin de fer, providing a subtle yet elegant appearance.
While the Titanium version embraces a sleek, monochromatic look, the Two-Tone model combines titanium with 18k 5N rose gold for a cosy, vintage feel.
Both watches have the same complex mechanisms as their predecessors, despite having simple dials. The only outward indication of the intricacies inside is the minute repeater slide on the left side of the case.
A custom bracelet with faceted, asymmetrical links and a simple link adjustment system is included with every model.
Additionally, these are offered in rose gold and titanium or in full titanium. The architectural details of the watches are echoed by matching cufflinks with concave bezels and hand-brushed gold inlays.
The new Carillon Tourbillon Signature Series, which retails for CHF475,000 (~RM2,510,802), can be purchased through Biver’s official stores as well as its international retail partners.
