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 The Elegant Delma Classic Automatic

100 years of watchmaking culminates in a simple yet refined release

Delma, a Swiss watchmaker renowned for crafting reliable timepieces at accessible prices, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. To mark this significant milestone, the brand has released the 1924 Tourbillon, revived the classic Midland collection, and introduced the Limited Edition Heritage Chronograph. Additionally, Delma is now focusing on simple time displays with the release of the Classic Automatic, an elegant model available in a variety of dial colors.

The watch features a polished 316L stainless steel case measuring 40 mm in diameter and 11.5 mm in thickness. It includes a sapphire crystal with AR coating on the front and a mineral glass on the caseback. If you're curious about the differences between these two types of glass, click here.

The dial is available in a variety of colors, including black, salmon, blue, or silver, and showcases a stunning sunray pattern. It is adorned with applied indexes and hands coated with Super-LumiNova for improved visibility. Additionally, a date window is positioned at 3 o'clock.

The watch is powered by the Sellita SW200-1, an automatic movement that operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and provides a 41-hour power reserve. It is available with either an Italian leather strap and a steel pin buckle, priced at CHF 890, equivalent to AED 3,900, or a five-link stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp, priced at CHF 990, equivalent to AED 4,300.
