REBELLION T-1000
Founded by a tycoon who loves
motorsport, Rebellion runs its own
endurance racing team. Its new
T-1000 watch boasts a power reserve
of 1,000 hours – it will run for more than
40 days without being rewound.

URWERK EMC TIME HUNTER
This remarkably unorthodox watch
combines a mechanical movement and
a battery-less, electronic device that
monitors its accuracy, enabling the
wearer to adjust the amplitude of the
escapement to his or her lifestyle.

HARRY WINSTON
MIDNIGHT BIG DATE
Harry Winston uses new materials
such as Zalium and makes innovative,
high complication movements. The
Midnight Big Date in white gold is one
of its more conservative creations.

DE BETHUNE DREAM WATCH 5.2
This De Bethune is said to have been
inspired by the shape of a precious
stone. Formed from half spheres of
steel and titanium, it displays the time
digitally through a pair of revolving
discs set with a gold, miniature moon.

MB&F HM8
Max Büsser and Friends doesn’t
make watches, it makes “horological
machines”. The HM8 was inspired by
Can-Am car racing, with a side-on time
display for easy reading at the wheel
and a roll cage-like framework.

GREUBEL FORSEY ART PIECE 2
Greubel Forsey makes some of the
finest watches in the world – at a rate
of no more than 100 per year. The
second of its Art Piece watches is
typical of the brand, demonstrating
its total mastery of the tourbillon.

Shore thing


One of the highlights of the spring/summer 2017 fashion collections was the finale
dress at Alexander McQueen. Designer Sarah Burton’s ethereal mermaid wore a sheer
tulle gown splashed with silver sequins and a white ruffled train that looked as if the model
was walking through crashing waves and foamy surf, “engulfed by the call of the sea.”
