HUBLOT

A stunning vision in white, the 42mm case of the Spirit of Big Bang Moonphase King Gold White Diamonds is embellished by a polished 18-carat King Gold bezel set with 48 diamonds. Armed with a power reserve of 50 hours and water resistant to 100m, this alluring timepiece is an ideal addition to the collections of watch aficionados. And on the face, glimpses of the selfwinding skeleton and big date moonphase movement can be seen through the sapphire dial.

BVLGARI

This LVCEA Skeleton is the first skeleton watch in history to have taken the letters of the watchmaker’s logo and made them essential to the design. The 33mm steel casing of this trendy timepiece encloses within itself an in-house mechanical movement with automatic winding and skeleton execution. Adding vibrancy are the steel crown set with a pink cabochon-cut stone and diamond and the red alligator strap with a steel ardillon buckle.
