Pietro Pilla

While Geneva Watch Days 2024 is not too far off, some of the best novelties are already here. Longines launched the first regular production iteration of the Zulu Time GMT in titanium – of which we hope to see more variants in the future. Vacheron Constantin is bringing out some more colourful Métiers d’Art, and the creativity continues Atelier Wen’s collaboration with our colleagues at Revolution Watch. Discover the rest of this week’s selection here below and enjoy reading!

Atelier Wen x Revolution Perception Cui

Atelier Wen releases the third chapter in its collaboration with Revolution, after the Xi and Càn editions.
This time the Perception model features a diamond-shaped guilloche pattern in a silver tone.
Each dial takes approximately 36 hours of work with a failure rate of about 50%.

Longines Spirit Zulu Time Titanium

Longines’ GMT take on the Spirit finally sees a regular production titanium version.
The Spirit Zulu Time Titanium boasts favourable dimensions and lightweight properties, with a 39mm diameter and 13.5mm thickness.
It’s powered by a COSC-certified calibre L844.4, a proper traveller’s GMT automatic movement.

Vacheron Constantin Métiers d’Art “Tribute to traditional symbols”

Vacheron Constantin adds four new models to its exceptional Métiers d’Art collection.
The watches are two different interpretations of the legendary Chinese motif known as the “Seawater Cliff”, which represents the sea crashing against steep cliffs.
They are presented in 38mm white gold and pink gold cases with beautifully enamelled dials.

Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date

New Seventies Chronograph Panorama Swimming Pool and Watermelon variants debut as limited editions.

Blancpain Ladybird Colors Phases De Lune

Blancpain expands the Ladybird collection by introducing a couple of new moonphase models.

They’re available either in a white or pink gold case, with both options adorned by a total of over 2 carats of diamonds.
