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.

Introducing Sinn Introduces a New Manual-Wind Chronograph, The 103 St Ty Hd

The first manual-wind 103 chronograph in two decades, with vintage style

Helmut Sinn, a former World War II pilot, established the company "Sinn Spezialuhren" in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 1961. The company primarily focuses on crafting navigation clocks and pilot chronographs.The Sinn 103 stands as one of the earliest models in the brand's lineup, dating back to the 1960s as a classic pilot's chronograph equipped with hand-wound calibers. Now, the brand releases the newest limited edition timepiece that adheres to that tradition, marking the first manual-wind 103 chronograph in two decades, the 103 St Ty Hd.

The timepiece is housed in a 41mm stainless steel case, boasting a thickness of 14.8mm and featuring a domed acrylic crystal. The black-coated bidirectional bezel includes a Super-LumiNova triangle and a fully graduated 60-minute scale. The watch is equipped with a push-pull crown and non-screw-down pushers, maintaining its pressure resistance of up to 200 meters.

The Tri-Compax chronograph showcases a 30-minute counter positioned at 3 o'clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock, all set against a matte black dial. The symmetrical V-shaped layout of the counters in a matte-silk light yellow hue creates a harmonious and innovative design. Additionally, the first ten minutes are alternately indicated in black and red. The dial is adorned with faceted hour and minute hands, designed with a luminous effect to ensure legibility even in low-light conditions. Additionally, the interior bezel hosts a tachymeter scale, measuring speeds ranging from 60 km/h to 600 km/h.

The timepiece is powered by the Sellita SW 510, a hand-wound movement operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and boasting a power reserve of 58 hours. The watch comes with a green boar leather strap featuring red contrast stitching, as well as a black boar leather strap with decorative perforations and white contrast stitching. It is limited to 1,000 pieces and is priced at EUR 2,590, equivalent to AED 10,250.
