Breitling Navitimer B09 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Miles Davis
Breitling celebrates the centennial of Miles Davis' birth with a tribute to the Navitimer ref. 806 Mk5 worn by the musician throughout the 1960s. Reinterpreting a timepiece that brought a pilot's instrument into the world of personal style, the new edition retains the original's reverse-panda dial, 41mm proportions and era-correct Twin Jet logo, with cream-toned Super-LumiNova adding to its vintage character.
Powered by Breitling's hand-wound Calibre B09, the chronograph combines heritage design with contemporary manufacture expertise. Limited to 500 pieces.
Daniel Roth Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt
Daniel Roth revisits a rare pre-war dial-making technique for its latest Extra Plat, building layers of black through electroplating before revealing the numerals and inscriptions from the solid gold beneath. Set against the pinstripe guilloché, the effect creates a quiet sense of depth that shifts subtly as the light moves across the dial. The restrained composition is framed by the brand’s signature 5N rose-gold double-ellipse case, measuring just 7.7mm thick.
The hand-wound Calibre DR002 has been developed specifically for the Extra Plat's slim proportions, with hand-bevelled edges visible through the open caseback. Operating at 4Hz and offering a 65-hour power reserve, the timepiece reflects Daniel Roth's continued focus on traditional craftsmanship and restrained mechanical refinement.
De Bethune DB25 Digitale
De Bethune reimagines the digital display with the DB25 Digitale, creating a dial inspired by a nocturnal riverscape. Layered blue finishes evoke moonlight on water, while the jumping-hour display sits beneath a sky of 82 hand-placed stars and a spherical moon crafted from polished palladium and flame-blued steel.
The moon-phase complication tracks the lunar cycle to within one day every 1,112 years. Housed in a 42mm grade 5 titanium case, the timepiece is powered by the third-generation Calibre DB2144V3, which introduces a self-regulating twin barrel and titanium-and-grey-gold balance wheel, visible through the sapphire caseback alongside De Bethune's signature random guilloché.
Chronomètre Ferdinand Berthoud FB 3SPC.4-1
Ferdinand Berthoud introduces its first black ceramised titanium case for the award-winning FB 3SPC collection, pairing the lightweight, scratch-resistant material with a crown guard and black fabric strap. The movement features a cylindrical balance spring with hand-shaped Berthoud terminal curves, a historical technique designed to improve isochronism and precision.
The nickel silver movement showcases eight forms of hand-finishing, including black polishing and satin-finished bridges, while 117 angles are bevelled by hand at a traditional 45-degree angle. COSC-certified and offering a 72-hour power reserve, the chronometer reflects Ferdinand Berthoud’s uncompromising approach to precision, construction and traditional finishing.
Bell & Ross BR-X5 Meteorite
Bell & Ross opens a new chapter for the BR-X5 with a dial crafted from genuine Muonionalusta meteorite. Formed in space some 4.5 billion years ago before reaching Earth around a million years ago, each fragment reveals the distinctive Widmanstätten pattern, a crystalline structure that cannot be replicated. As a result, no two dials are ever alike.
The meteorite is integrated directly into the BR-X5's construction, with no brass base beneath it and the dial feet passing through the raw material itself. Housed in a 41mm stainless-steel case with the collection's distinctive open-worked architecture and four exposed screws, the timepiece is powered by the COSC-certified BR-CAL.323 manufacture movement, offering a 70-hour power reserve. Limited to 250 pieces.
URWERK UR-150 Golden Scorpion
URWERK presents a new interpretation of the UR-150 in yellow gold, bringing a warmer and more precious expression to the brand's distinctly architectural design language. Crafted in satin-finished 2N yellow gold, the sculptural case preserves the technical complexity and striking proportions that define the collection.
At its heart, the UR-150 retains URWERK's signature wandering-hour display, with three hour satellites rotating on a central carousel as the retrograde minute hand sweeps across a 240-degree arc before returning to zero in one hundredth of a second. Powered by the UR-50.01 calibre and regulated by a double turbine system, it offers a 43-hour power reserve. Limited to 25 pieces.
Trilobe Château Trente-Deux
One year after unveiling its first in-house collection, Trilobe introduces Château Trente-Deux, an edition defined by the depth of burgundy. Its matte sunburst dial takes inspiration from the precise hue of a great vintage, while its name pays tribute to the brand's Parisian workshop on Rue Trente-Deux, in the historic Opéra district.
Its 316L stainless-steel case is composed of seven individually finished components, with a fluted bezel contrasting mirror-polished and satin-brushed surfaces. At the centre is the X-Nihilo calibre, developed entirely in-house and delivering a 42-hour power reserve. Trilobe will introduce the Château Trente-Deux through an initial release of 100 pieces before welcoming it into the brand's permanent collection.
Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon Dusk Série Atelier
Laurent Ferrier introduces the Classic Moon Dusk, a new Série Atelier edition that brings yellow gold to the Classic case for the first time. The brand's signature pebble-shaped silhouette frames an opaline dial that graduates from taupe at the centre to deep brown at its edge, while its first moon-phase display features a gold-sheen obsidian disc beneath an anise-yellow plique-à-jour enamel bridge.
Beneath the dial, the hand-wound LF126.02 calibre combines an annual calendar with a precision moon phase requiring just one correction each year. Comprising 266 components and finished entirely by hand in the brand's workshops, the movement is distinguished by details including Côtes de Genève bridges and mirror-polished screw heads. Limited to 20 pieces.
