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 Unveiling The Pure Resonance Sapphire Collaboration

Horomariobro and Armin Strom Merge Art and Precision in a Limited-Edition Marvel

In the world of high-end horology, few collaborations have captured the attention of watch enthusiasts quite like the recent partnership between renowned watch collector and Instagram influencer Horomariobro and independent watchmaker Armin Strom. The result of this meeting of minds is the remarkable new limited-edition timepiece, the Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire, which showcases a unique blend of minimalist aesthetics, patented technological innovation, and meticulous attention to detail.

Characterised by its exquisite sapphire dial and hand-finished elements, this groundbreaking watch stands out for its refined balance, mirroring the discerning eye of Horomariobro, known for his insightful assessments of timepieces on his Instagram platform. In the design process, certain elements were removed to enhance the symmetry of the watch, with a particular emphasis on the resonance clutch spring – a patented technology from Armin Strom that serves to improve timekeeping precision.

The Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire is an example of haute horlogerie at its finest. The timepiece features a myriad of decorative techniques such as guilloché, tremblage, black polished bridge, and hand frosting. The back of the watch reveals an improved ratchet mechanism and carries an engraved seal.

The resonance mechanism of the watch, powered by the manual ARF16 in-house caliber with a 48-hour power reserve, has received high praise from users, particularly for its proprietary Clutch Spring technology. The watch also offers an appealing visual design, with its 42mm stainless steel case, which sets a new benchmark in the watch industry for enhanced accuracy and stability.

A truly exclusive offering, only 10 pieces of the Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire will be made available, priced at $59,000 each. The timepiece can be exclusively purchased through Oster Jewelers[1][3]. Given the evident admiration for both the watch's design and technical innovation within the horology community, it's expected that these unique pieces will be highly sought after.

This collaboration between Horomariobro and Armin Strom has resulted in a masterpiece that encapsulates the best of independent watchmaking and serves as a testament to Armin Strom's commitment to innovative watchmaking and their passion for creating exceptional timepieces[9]. It is a significant milestone in Horomariobro's watch collection journey and sets a new standard in horological innovation. For those with a passion for exceptional timepieces, the Pure Resonance Ultimate Sapphire x Horomariobro is indeed a captivating union of art and precision.
