The New Patek Philippe Twenty~4 7340/1R Perpetual Calendar

Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 collection was Patek Philippe’s first dedicated line of feminine timepieces. The original model featured an Art Deco-inspired manchette (cuff) design, but in 2018, the brand unveiled the Twenty~4 Automatic, which is a round-cased iteration powered by an automatic movement. This year, Patek Philippe elevates the collection further by introducing a perpetual calendar complication, marking the collection's debut in the realm of Grand Complications.
Crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, the watch features a 36mm case with a slender profile of just 9.95mm, making it sit gracefully on the wrist. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Two dial options are available. The Ref. 7340/1R-001 features a silvery opaline dial with a vertical satin finish, evoking the texture of shantung silk that feature irregular texture, while the Ref. 7340/1R-010 presents an olive green sunburst dial for a more contemporary appeal.

Introducing Delma Unveils The Midland Automatic Watch

Delma brings back its iconic Midland collection with a 1980s Style

Delma is a Swiss watch brand that crafts reliable and functional timepieces at affordable prices. Its rich history dates back to 1924, when it was founded in Lengnau, near Grenchen in Switzerland, by the brothers Adolf and Albert Gilomen. In 1946, the brand demonstrated its expertise in sports timepieces with the launch of its first chronograph, the Midland. By the 1980s, the Midland collection had become one of the brand's most iconic releases, expanding over the years to include both chronographs and simple three-hand models.

After Delma celebrated its 100th anniversary this year with a beautiful tourbillon watch, the brand is now releasing the “Delma Midland Automatic” watch, based on a model from the 1980s with a modern twist. 

The watch comes in a stainless steel case, measuring 40.5mm in diameter and 10.8mm in thickness. The tonneau case combines a mix of brushed and polished finishes and includes a fluted bezel that adds a classic appeal. The sapphire crystal is coated with an anti-reflective treatment, and the watch also boasts a see-through caseback.

The dial showcases a beautiful clou de Paris pattern with six new color options: white, black, salmon, evergreen, royal blue, and ice blue. It also features applied baton indexes and hands coated with Super-LumiNova, and a date window positioned at 3 o’clock.  

The watch is powered by the Sellita Caliber SW200-1, an automatic movement that operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers a 41-hour power reserve. The new Delma Midland Automatic comes with a brushed and polished integrated stainless-steel bracelet with a folding clasp and is priced at CHF 1,100, equivalent to AED 4,600.
