PATEK PHILIPPE
WORLDTIME MINUTE
REPEATER
One of the heavy hitters of the luxury
watch world, Patek Philippe’s latest
offering features a world time minute
repeater that adjusts to, and chimes,
the local time wherever you go. The
design is a lavish tribute to the spirit of
world travel, with an evocative oil
painting style image of Lake Geneva
circled by the names of international
cities. Another innovation on the
minute repeater are the gongs affixed
to the case middle rather than the
movement plate, allowing for
unprecedented clarity of sound.

LONGINES
CONQUEST VHP
Boasting advanced gear position
detection technology, which resets
the watch’s hand after the most minute
impact or magnetic exposure, the
Conquest’s calibre has an accuracy rating of
+/-5 seconds over an entire year. Beyond that
technological feat, it’s an on-trend, ultra-modern
sports watch with Arabic numerals and bar indexes.
Previously only available in stainless steel, it now comes
with a choice of silver, black, blue or carbon fibre dials.

CHOPARD L.U.C ALL-IN-ONE
First launched in 2010, the All-in-One is the pinnacle
of Chopard’s luxury offerings. There are two versions
of the 2018 vintage, with only 10 of each to
be made. The watch is spectacular, with
a hand-guilloche dial galvanised into a shade
of blue like a twilight. Featuring ethically
mined 18-carat gold and no less than
42 jewels, this year’s model has subbed
out the Roman numerals for the cool
minimalism of arrowhead batons.
Comprised of more than 500 individual
components, it is also a staggering feat
of miniature engineering.

HUBLOT BIG BANG
REFEREE 2018 FIFA
WORLD CUP RUSSIA
The official partner of the World Cup,
this is one for stylish football fans. A
sleek smart watch, it will alert owners
with a vibration and the word GOAL!
every time a player scores during the
event. The dial will also show the
score of each game along with goal
scorers, red and yellow cards,
substitutions and match time. Only
2,018 watches in the range will be
produced and can be customised
with team colours. Even the screws
around the bezel look like balls.
