TRACKING TIME STYLISH IN GREEN

Green, once an outlier among watch colours, has now gone mainstream. From luxury to high street, watchmakers are now responding to changing consumer taste with stunning timepieces in various shades of the verdant hue

BVLGARI OCTO ROMA NATURALIA MALACHITE 103462

The new Octo is part of a new range of high-jewelry men’s tourbillons where Bulgari goes further than others in creating bespoke and customisable watches. The almost entirely green watch displayed here with a green alligator strap comes in a 44mm rose gold case. The middle case is made from green malachite stone. The thin slide between the skeletonised components of the tourbillon movement, and the indexes are also decorated with malachite. In two similar versions in the collection (Octo Roma Naturalia Onyx 103487 and Octo Roma Naturalia Lapis Lazuli 103488), the case is made from platinum and titanium, while the middle case is in lapis lazuli and black onyx, respectively. What is innovative, though, is that the buyer has the option to mix and match the materials used for the case and the middle case in the three versions. As a result of which, 30 possible iterations of the watch are currently available to be customised. For each configuration, the buyer will see an overview of the design and the product details via email before the work starts. The customer is also updated at each major step in the watch construction, with details and pictures.

ROYAL OAK SELF-WINDING FLYING TOURBILLON

Keeping up with the times, quite a few of Audemars Piguet’s new watches this year feature green dials. All three variants of this collection are endowed with green Tapisserie dial in a sunburst pattern. The dial of this watch offers a great view of the escapement, regulating the organ and cage in motion. The 41mm case is in titanium. The self-winding movement has a power reserve of 65 hours. Limited to 50 pieces.
