The Luminor Marina Platinumtech by Panerai

For the 70th anniversary of the iconic Luminor Marina, the house of Panerai unveils a limited edition of only 70 pieces, the Luminor Marina Platinumtech ™. Guaranteed 70 years, its reformulated alloy, harder than conventional platinum, gives it unparalleled strength. And the watch remains waterproof up to a depth of 50m! Its mechanical movement with automatic winding, entirely produced by Panerai, offers a three days power reserve. And icing on the cake: the watch is designed with a dark brown alligator leather strap with ecru stitching and when purchasing, you can choose a second strap which will be delivered to you in a black lacquered wooden case with the Luminor Marina luminescent logo. A great gift from this Maison at the crossroad of Italian design and Swiss watchmaking!

Price: 37,000 € exclusively in Panerai boutiques

The Sparkling Free Wheel: Ulysse Nardin's latest work of art

Considered one of the best kept secrets of Swiss watchmaking excellence, Ulysse Nardin is releasing a very limited edition of just 8 pieces. And for good reason! The Sparkling Free Wheel shines with diamonds, and even more diamonds, like sparkling snow under the rays of the morning sun ... In total: 2251 diamonds of exceptional quality visible to the naked eye, are "snow-set" and placed randomly side by side to cover almost the entire surface, from the white gold dial to the lugs, not to mention the barrel cover. With the tourbillon movement bridges of its dial, looking like boomerangs floating in the air, this exceptional timepiece is an unparalleled technological and artistic feat!

Price: 225,000 CHF (204,000 €)

The Seamaster Diver 300M: Omega's tribute to the America's Cup

What a beautiful tribute to the 36th edition of the America's Cup is this Omega collection chronograph! We love its unalterable sporty and chic look, its new locking system, its interchangeable straps (steel or rubber), its rubber pushers for perfect grip in water, its dial decorated with laser-engraved waves, and the central seconds needle extended by the Silver Ewer: the very emblem of the America's Cup. Equipped with the exclusive Chroo Lock system that locks the chronograph functions as needed, the Seamaster Diver 300M is a must have when it comes to offshore activities! In stainless steel, this model definitely combines streamlined ergonomics for racing and aesthetics.

With Alpiner Regulator Automatic from Alpina, the triple display is back

Equipped with three dials in one, the Alpine Regulator Automatic inherits the sporty DNA of its predecessors. The case returns to the perfection of the circle, the dial is adorned with Côtes de Genève inspired by the original piece, the dial remains readable in all circumstances thanks to the luminescent materials, the power reserve is 38 hours and its water resistance up to 100m deep. A technical masterpiece for this iconic brand which revolutionized the concept of sports watches in 1938 with the legendary Alpina 4. The new Alpiner Regulator Automatic is embracing modernity as part of its big comeback. We love its beautifully modern design, available in four models, including two blue dials and two black dials, worn respectively on a brown or black calfskin or steel strap. For collectors, there is a limited series of 883 copies pieces with a blue dial on a black calfskin strap stitched with red. Sporty, rare and stylish!

Price: € 1,795 (leather strap), € 1,895 (steel bracelet and limited edition).
