VACHERON CONSTANTIN PATRIMONY

Epitomising watchmaking minimalism popular in the 1950s, this manual-winding 39mm pink gold model is one of three timeless creations released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Patrimony collection. This range is introduced with a dreamy new sunburst antique silver-toned dial, while the minutes track is realised with 48 gold pearls. For this version, an alligator leather strap in azure blue imparts a modern sensibility. Fitted with the ultra-thin Calibre 1440, it boasts a 42-hour power reserve. The closed caseback also allows for customised text or design engraving.

BREGUET MARINE 9518

This historic manufacturer’s famous Marine collection is now enriched with a graceful 33.8mm gem-set version bearing a metallic sunburst blue dial. Evoking sunshine glinting on the water are 58 diamonds on the hour-markers and bezel, complemented by a luminescent gold hour and minute hands. Referencing maritime signals, the seconds hand is tipped with the letter B for the navigation code “Bravo”, while the caseband features the house’s signature fluted pattern. The stainless steel watch is water resistant to 50m and powered by the 591A self-winding movement, which has a 38-hour power reserve.
