MANGA: FRANCK MULLER CINTRÉE CURVEX RYOKO KANETA DRAGON LIMITED EDITION

The mythical dragon is given a refreshingly quirky take through the eyes of up-and-coming Japanese painter Ryoko Kaneta in this Asia Pacific-exclusive drop of 500 pieces. The divine creature is anthropomorphised as doll-like girls - a Kaneta trademark - interacting with the hour indices. The anime style of these "kawaii" characters stands in playful contrast with the neoclassical elegance of the 5850 Cintree Curvex's case, while the vibrant aqua blue and turquoise colours are a nod to the dragon's ties to water. This steel model features a guilloched and enamelled dial with FM 2536-SC self-winding movement.

UCHRONIC AESTHETICS: HUBLOT ARSHAM DROPLET

Multidisciplinary contemporary artist Daniel Arsham singlehandedly popularised uchronic aesthetics, which describes art based on idealised or semi-fictional history. His works revolve around transforming everyday objects into "future relics", and this ticking masterpiece - transmutable between a pocket watch, a pendant, and a table clock - is one of them. Bearing an organic shape with an ergonomic and tactile design, it boasts an open-worked titanium case with sandwich construction, two domed sapphire crystals, 17 rubber O-rings for a perfect seal, and two titanium chains with a patented double "one-click" system. Beating within this 99-piece limited edition is the manufacture's iconic Meca-10 movement.
