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.
