Roger Dubuis’ Excalibur-Superbia’s, which is crafted in palladium-enriched white gold and set with exactly 600 precious white diamonds and blue sapphires.
A special edition watch by A. Lange & Söhne that pays homage to late Ferdinand Adolph Lange, the Saxon watchmaker, inventor, entrepreneur and politician. The tourbillon cage is suspended between two diamond end stones, as was the case in Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s historic pocket watches. The 684-part movement is decorated with a special finissage that enhances the three-dimensional effect of the pattern and gives the traditional technique a contemporary effect.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s brand new Master Control Memovox Timer is an inspiration from the first Memovox watches of the 1950s, but with a contemporary touch. This new timepiece incorporates an entirely new alarm-setting mechanism. Memovox watches had a closed case-back to which the gong was attached. The new timepiece case has a transparent sapphire back that allows the wearer to watch the hammer in action.
