Breguet novelties: Reine de Naples Crazy Flower and Perles Impériales The Reine de Naples is the only 100% women's collection by Breguet. For the Manufacture's 250th anniversary, two new High Jewelry versions are unveiled: the Crazy Flower and the Perles Impériales, crafted in Breguet gold for the occasion. The precious hours of the Reine de Naples Crazy Flower Like a flower sensitive to the breeze that caresses it, the diamonds in the Reine de Naples Crazy Flower move fluidly to reflect the suppleness of the wrist’s movements. The piece is directly inspired by the frangipani flower, whose yellow and white colours echo the diamonds and Breguet gold. Each piece, made to order, comes with a champagne-coloured satin-effect alligator strap fitted with a triple Breguet folding clasp, set with 28 diamonds. The Queen of Naples Crazy Flower features a total of 436 diamonds weighing 37.2 carats. Access Press Lounge Reine de Naples Perles Impériales : a tribute to the Akoya pearl The Reine de Naples Perles Impériales features a mineral composition centred on the iconic Akoya pearl. Considered the most precious of all pearls, it has a perfectly smooth, round and iridescent surface. It has been cultivated in Japan since the end of the 19th century. On the dial side, two Breguet hands made of the same gold hover over a dial set with 211 brilliant-cut diamonds and a pearshaped diamond set at 12 o’clock, with the time displayed on an noble opal base. Originating from Brazil, the Akoya pearls radiate iridescent reflections ranging from yellow to grey, passing through green, pink and blue. Four Breguet numerals and eight gold studs punctuate the hour circle. At 6 o’clock, the perfect sphere of the Akoya pearl echoes the ellipse of the case. It occupies the place of the famous ball attachment, the aesthetic signature of the Reine de Naples collection. Soft and sensual, it closes the bezel with its delicate mother-of-pearl, before opening onto a unique Breguet gold bracelet, the central row of which is composed entirely of Akoya pearls.

Showcased at Dubai Watch Week 2025, this 30-pieces limited edition represents the Maison’s boldest expression of its avant-garde spirit. A VISION SHAPED BY AIR Inspired by the aerodynamic world of hypercars, the TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 redefines what is possible in case design. Crafted from Grade-5 titanium using Selective Laser Melting (SLM), an additive manufacturing technique adapted from aerospace engineering, its sculpted form appears to have been carved by the wind itself. Weighing just 85 grams, the watch’s hollowed, architectural structure channels the lightness and flow of Formula 1® design. The intricate twin-layered honeycomb mesh recalls hypercar engine covers, while accents of 2N yellow goldand black DLC-coated titanium create a striking and contemporary aesthetic. At its heart beats the Calibre TH81-00, TAG Heuer’s most complex chronograph movement to date. Developed in collaboration with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, this high-frequency automatic movement with a 65-hour power reserve delivers flawless precision and features the legendary rattrapante (split-seconds) function. Composed largely of lightweight titanium components, the TH81-00 combines strength and finesse, its checkered-flag finishing visible through the sapphire caseback as a mechanical celebration of TAG Heuer’s racing DNA. THE LEGACY CONTINUES For over 160 years, TAG Heuer has led the art of precision timekeeping, from the Heuer Mikrograph of 1916 to today’s most sophisticated chronographs. The TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 now stands as a gem of this evolution, merging heritage with the future of watchmaking. Elegant, powerful, and visionary, it embodies the spirit of innovation that defines TAG Heuer. “The TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 is a watchmaking revolution,” said TAG Heuer chief executive Antoine Pin. “Think of it this way: thanks to SLM, a watch engineer has been able to deliver a watch designer's wildest creation. The SLM manufacturing process, adapted by the TAG Heuer LAB, takes us into a new dimension, rewriting the received laws of case design. And where better to do that than in the avant-garde Monaco, which in 1969 became the world's first water-resistant square-cased automatic chronograph. The TAG Heuer Monaco Split-Seconds Chronograph Air 1 marks a new dawn for a true design icon and marks the beginning of a new series of conceptual timepieces involving innovative technologies for the brand.”  CHRONOMÈTRE FB 3SPC: An exclusive series for the 75th anniversary of Ahmed Seddiqi On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Ahmed Seddiqi, an iconic watch retailer in Haute Horlogerie in the Middle East, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud pays tribute to its historic partner by unveiling an exclusive series of the Chronomètre FB 3SPC in platinum. To mark Dubai Watch Week (November 19–23, 2025) and celebrate the 75th anniversary of Ahmed Seddiqi, Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud introduces a limited edition of only three pieces from its iconic FB 3SPC collection featuring a cylindrical hairspring. The Chronomètre FB 3SPC.3-4 offers exclusive finishings of both the movement and the dial. It combines a 42 mm platinum case with a peripheral inner-bezel ring in velvet-finished black lacquered brass, whose engraved minute track and Arabic numerals are highlighted in gold. The bridges and mainplate are sandblasted with an unprecedented champagne color. This subtle contrast ensures perfect legibility thanks to the 18-carat yellow gold hands. By a fortunate coincidence, this limited edition is unveiled in 2025, the same year Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud celebrates its own 10th anniversary. This double milestone highlights the strong bond between the two houses, as Ahmed Seddiqi was among the first partners to support the creation of the Fleurier workshop in 2015. A High-Precision Chronometer Inspired by the decimal watch No. 26, crafted in 1793 by Louis Berthoud, nephew and successor of Ferdinand Berthoud, the Chronomètre FB 3SPC carries forward this distinguished lineage of master chronometer-makers. The first and only wristwatch with a variable-inertia balance and a cylindrical balance-spring to be officially chronometer-certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), the Chronomètre FB 3SPC has been a hit with collectors and watchmaking professionals since its launch in October 2022. Its mechanical movement is based on a cylindrical balance-spring, an extremely rare horological speciality on which Ferdinand Berthoud himself had worked. It is the result of more than three years of research and development. Positioned at 9 o'clock, the three main escapement components – namely the balance, pallet-lever and escape-wheel – are individualised, distinct and proeminent. This space dedicated to the regulating organ enables one to appreciate how it functions and to see the cylindrical balance-spring beating throughout the three days of the power reserve, including through a large water-resistant porthole in the case middle at 9 o'clock. Launched in 2022, the FB 3SPC chronometer won the Chronometry Prize at the 2023 GPHG.

The Tourbillon Platinum completes the DANIEL ROTH tourbillon collection with a very exclusive edition that introduces a contrasting anthracite grey dial. The commanding presence of the platinum case is yet another bridge to the brand's early history, while the refined double-ellipse case represents a vision for the future.  The award-winning watchmaker gérald genta Gentissima Oursin collection expands with two bold new expressions in 41mm, elevated by blue and green meteorite dials. From the delicate blush of pink mother-of-pearl to the shadowy depths of smoky grey anthracite, from the fiery heart of opal to the profound darkness of inky black onyx, the gérald genta Gentissima Oursin collection has, since its 2024 debut, celebrated the Earth's most spectacular materials.   WHITE RABBIT & “A MAD HOROLOGICAL PARTY” Ineichen Auctioneers, Zurich — 13 December 2025 Two separate landmark lots: the only White Rabbit wristwatch ever to appear at auction (Lot 6) — a grand-complication masterpiece ranking among the twenty most complicated wristwatches in the history of horology. Lot 5 — the original painting “A Mad Horological Party” A Historic Dual-Lot Event at Ineichen On 13 December 2025, Ineichen Auctioneers in Zurich will host one of the most significant events in the world of independent haute horlogerie and contemporary mechanical art. All White Rabbit wristwatches were sold out long before completion, with no retail availability. Thus, Lot 6 offers the only White Rabbit wristwatch ever to appear at auction — a grand-complication masterpiece ranking among the twenty most complicated wristwatches in the entire history of horology. This is the first and only opportunity worldwide to acquire the model through a public sale. As Lot 5, Ineichen will offer the original painting “A Mad Horological Party”, created by Konstantin Chaykin specifically for the White Rabbit project. Although offered separately, the two lots form a rare dual narrative where a grand-complication wristwatch and the artistic universe that inspired it appear side by side. LOT 5 — “A Mad Horological Party” (The Painting) Konstantin Chaykin has recently emerged in a parallel artistic role—as a painter whose works explore the emotional and imaginative dimensions of his horological creations. His art unites two seemingly different disciplines: — the construction of highly complex, emotionally charged, ultra-thin mechanical timepieces — and the expression of this imaginative world through fine art Origins and Concept The painting A Mad Horological Party was conceived as a metaphor for the development of the White Rabbit wristwatch. Its title references Chapter Seven of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, a chapter rich with reflections on the nature of time—a thematic foundation of the watch itself. Chaykin depicts himself at his workbench assembling the White Rabbit, surrounded by imaginative clockwork reinterpretations of Alice, the Hatter, the Dormouse, and the March Hare. None of these characters appear in their classic literary form; instead, they emerge as fantastical mechanical beings conceived entirely by Chaykin. Art Historical Context Chaykin’s approach aligns with the lineage of allegorical self-portraiture, reminiscent of:
Like these masters, Chaykin embeds himself into a world half-real, half-imagined—yet uniquely defined by horology. Preparatory Works & Artistic Continuity A Mad Tea-Party is part of a wider creative arc linked to the White Rabbit project. Earlier artworks--March Har.1, Week-Maiden, Dormouse, and especially Ahasuerus—served as thematic studies. Notably, Ahasuerus was inspired by a remarkable detail of the White Rabbit’s perpetual calendar: its main lever resembles the silhouette of a walking man. LOT 6 — The White Rabbit Pocket Watch An imaginary immersion into the surreal world of Alice in Wonderland — translated into the language of high complication. The White Rabbit, unveiled in 2025, is one of the twenty most complicated wristwatches in the history of horology, featuring sixteen complications, including the first wristwatch perpetual calendar ever created in Russian watchmaking. It is the fifth creation in Chaykin’s series of zodiac-themed wristmons, which began in 2019 with the Unique Pig, followed by the Mouse King (2020), Minotaur (2021), and other culturally layered interpretations of the Chinese zodiac. Zodiac Origins and Literary Transformation The White Rabbit was conceived in early 2023, as the Year of the Black Water Rabbit approached. Following his tradition of blending zodiac themes with wider cultural contexts, Chaykin reinterpreted the zodiac symbol through literature, transforming it into the White Rabbit of Lewis Carroll—a character defined by his obsession with time and his iconic pocket watch. The First Perpetual Calendar by Konstantin Chaykin Inspired by Alice’s remark in Chapter Seven about “a watch that shows the day of the month but not the time,” Chaykin developed a fully in-house perpetual calendar, marking:
The mechanism uses a traditional 48-segment month cam and main switching lever, enhanced with two major innovations:
A Project That Grew Beyond Itself What began as a perpetual calendar rapidly expanded. By early 2023 Chaykin had added:
He then introduced the idea of a reversible, transformable case and the poetic Suspended Time function. The project continued evolving “until a sense of sufficiency emerged,” as Chaykin later wrote. With sixteen complications, the White Rabbit approaches the complexity of Chaykin’s Stargazer (17 complications) and surpasses it in component count: 691 parts. Suspended Time — “Time of a Mad Tea-Party” Pressing the left-side pusher instantly moves both pupil-discs to 6:00, freezing the time and creating a surreal cross-eyed expression—an homage to the Mad Hatter’s eternal tea-party where “it’s always tea-time.” This mechanically rare poetic complication visually embodies Wonderland’s surrealism. Reversible, Transformable Case — 169 Components The titanium case is both reversible and convertible between wristwatch and pocket-watch form. It incorporates:
With 169 components, the case alone surpasses the complexity of many complete calibres. Haute Horlogerie Movement Finishing Calibre K.34-1 features hand-finished details including:

Two independent houses who aren’t afraid to shake things up. Honoring tradition and adding a grin. We break the mold, stir the myth and make you smile while thinking twice. Our new character is the Unfrogettable. It’s more than a face; we went beyond the dial, the hands, the crown. We’ve done tourbillons. We’ve done complications. So, this time, we reworked the case, shaped new surfaces in titanium and designed a strap made from the same lacquered leather once used in samurai armor. Every detail has meaning. The frog, in Russian tales, is a spell in disguise. In Japan, it symbolizes luck and resilience. Put them together and you get a hybrid, a frog with a warrior’s heart.

In Russian folklore, the frog hides a spell, a secret, a soul: humble outside, full of hidden power. In Japanese legend, the frog (kaeru) stands for luck and resilience, a small creature capable of great change. It’s also a good-luck charm. The samurai? A symbol of discipline, strength and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Put them together and you get something wild: a hybrid creature, hopping between cultures, armed with wit and willpower.

A creation that reflects her passion for time and the craftsmanship that defines it.
At the request of Giorgia Mondani, Italian collector and watch expert recognized internationally for her contribution to the world of horology, Artisans de Genève, an independent Swiss atelier specialized in the personalization of exceptional timepieces, has created a unique watch reflecting her love for craftsmanship and celebrating her 40th birthday. Through this project, for the first time, a personalization imagined by a woman enters the world of Artisans de Genève - a reflection of her vision, sensitivity, and passion for watchmaking. The atelier - known for the personalizations imagined by Andrea Pirlo, Juan Pablo Montoya, Spike Lee, Rubens Barrichello, and John McEnroe - was entrusted by Giorgia Mondani with a project that unites her passion for collecting and the artisans’ savoir-faire, where technical mastery meets personal emotion. Imagined by Giorgia Mondani and brought to life by Artisans de Genève, this personalization is a tribute to her family’s enduring passion for watchmaking - a legacy passed down from her father, Guido Mondani, and now shared with her children, an invisible thread uniting generations through their love of time and mechanical beauty. This personalization was entirely handcrafted by independent artisans in Geneva, following Artisans de Genève’s philosophy: turning each watch into a personal expression of its owner, shaped by craftsmanship and creative freedom. “I wanted this personalization to reflect who I am” said Giorgia Mondani. “Artisans de Genève understood my vision — their respect for tradition and craftsmanship made this project deeply personal. It tells my story, the passion my father passed down to me and that I now share with my children.” With this personalization, Artisans de Genève once again celebrates what defines its craft - individuality, emotion, and the beauty of human creation. Giorgia Mondani’s project adds a new voice to this story: a woman’s vision of time, heritage, and passion. Artisans de Genève is an independent Swiss atelier specializing in bespoke customization and restoration of timepieces. It is not affiliated, authorized, or endorsed by the brands of the watches it works on. All modifications are carried out exclusively at the request of private clients, on their own timepieces, and for personal use only. Each project reflects the atelier’s unique savoir-faire and artisanal approach. www.artisansdegeneve.com  SICIS celebrates the successful opening of its new showroom in Dubai Design District

Marking two years since its debut, kollokium presents the sixth iteration of Projekt 01 (K,P–n°01), dubbed Variant G. This time, the singular neubrutalst watch takes on grown up hues. But don’t get it twisted: it still has an appetite for drama. One dial with two possible handsets for a combined limited edition of 499 pieces.
And so, Projekt 01 Variant G explores a more restrained play of tones, amplified by contrasts, volumes and textures to honor a color that is as sartorial as it is horological. And like every kollokium to date (though we promise this won’t always be the case), you can expect a lot of Super-LumiNova. It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that we launched the Variant E with two different hand sets, but here we are. Once again, the kollokium trio just couldn’t make up their minds as to which hands they felt worked best with Variant G and its contrasts in blue. Would it be the original kollokium configuration with a contrasting seconds hand, in white, with hour and minute hands that blend in with the dial? Or perhaps something more legible, with lume-less hour and minute hands in metallic blue PVD with bright white edges and a more subdued blue seconds hand? Ultimately, we decided to do both and let our customers decide...  A night of radiance: Alex Scott in Yoko London
