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 New ArtyA Curvy Purity Tourbillon NanoSaphir Emerald

An exclusive special edition for the exhibition in the brand's first participation in Dubai Watch Week

In conjunction with Dubai Watch Week ArtyA has unveiled a unique piece that embodies both the spirit of Dubai and the innovation of ArtyA, The 'Curvy Purity Tourbillon NanoSaphir Emerald.'

The heart of this masterpiece lies in its striking case material, NanoSaphir, measuring 38.5 mm x 43 mm. This cutting-edge technology enables the tinting of sapphire at the molecular level, resulting in a pure, totally transparent case aesthetic. The watch's tonneau-shaped case, designed by Jérémie Arpa, son of the brand’s founder Yvan Arpa, is crafted to ensure perfect axial symmetry and features a crown strategically placed at 12 o'clock. The choice of emerald green not only adds a vibrant splash of color but also carries significant symbolism. Reflecting the hues of the UAE flag, it embodies joy, optimism, bravery, and courage

The openworked subdial, positioned under 12 o'clock, is iron-sandblasted and hand-beveled, featuring dauphine hour and minute hands. Upon glancing at the watch, one can notice the parallel-mounted double barrel, offering a 72-hour power reserve. The redesigned 'Curvy Purity Tourbillon' movement is a testament to ArtyA's commitment to innovation in watchmaking. It boasts a grand 17.2-millimeter 4 Hz tourbillon that appears to levitate within the case, providing a nice view of its rotation. The tourbillon is further enhanced by its iron-sandblasted and hand-beveled finishes on the cage and the upper tourbillon bridge, adding to its visual appeal.

The Curvy movement is the newest addition to the Purity Tourbillon collection, a series of movements created exclusively for ArtyA. Distinguished by its striking axial symmetry, the Curvy Purity Tourbillon movement represents the pinnacle of technical and aesthetic as it sits on a brushed and polished train wheel bridge. The watch comes with a recycled black leather strap, with a pin buckle. Priced at CHF 155,000 which is equivalent to AED 631,300.
