The New Patek Philippe Twenty~4 7340/1R Perpetual Calendar

Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 collection was Patek Philippe’s first dedicated line of feminine timepieces. The original model featured an Art Deco-inspired manchette (cuff) design, but in 2018, the brand unveiled the Twenty~4 Automatic, which is a round-cased iteration powered by an automatic movement. This year, Patek Philippe elevates the collection further by introducing a perpetual calendar complication, marking the collection's debut in the realm of Grand Complications.
Crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, the watch features a 36mm case with a slender profile of just 9.95mm, making it sit gracefully on the wrist. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Two dial options are available. The Ref. 7340/1R-001 features a silvery opaline dial with a vertical satin finish, evoking the texture of shantung silk that feature irregular texture, while the Ref. 7340/1R-010 presents an olive green sunburst dial for a more contemporary appeal.

Christopher Ward is a British brand known for its Swiss-made mechanical watches offered at accessible prices. One of its most renowned collections is The Twelve, an elegant and sporty line that has seen an array of releases, including a recent collaboration with seconde/seconde/. Today, the brand is launching The Twelve 38, which introduces four striking color variants: Nordic Blue, Glacier Blue, Arctic White, and Midnight Sun.

The watches are crafted from stainless steel, measuring 38mm in diameter with a sleek thickness of just 9.95mm. Their distinctive dodecagonal bezels feature a tri-finish combination of high polish, fine linear brushing, and sandblasting, enhancing their sophisticated appeal. The caseback secures the watch with a water resistance of up to 100 meters, making it suitable for everyday adventures. It incorporates six 12-sided screws, reminiscent of the iconic Royal Oak.

The dial is a standout feature, showcasing a tessellated pyramid pattern that reflects Christopher Ward's twin-flags logo. This design shifts with changing light conditions, creating a captivating visual effect. The dial also features lumed hands and indices, along with a color-matched date wheel at the 6 o'clock position.

Powering the watch is the automatic Sellita SW200-1 movement, operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offering a power reserve of 38 hours, with a timing tolerance of +/- 20 seconds per day.

The Twelve 38 comes with an integrated stainless steel bracelet or a white rubber strap, available exclusively with the Glacier Blue and Arctic White variants, along with an optional black rubber strap for all models. Pricing is set at €1,350 / AED 5,140 on a steel bracelet and €1,095 / AED 4,170 on a white or black rubber strap.
