For Watches & Wonders 2024, Panerai is excited to share and present the exciting six years of cherished partnership with the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team. This collaboration intersects with all the pillars of the Panerai identity, embodying Italian DNA, the Maison’s deep-rooted connection to the marine world, and its commitment to crafting instruments for modern heroes. 

The timepieces engineered and tested for the toughest conditions, epitomizing the brand’s dedication to durability, reliability, and functionality.

Panerai Submersible QuarantaQuattro Luna Rossa Ti-Ceramitech™

The release represents a strategic alliance of high performance and cutting-edge technology in the shape of a new innovative material, Ti-Ceramitech™. This is inspired by a material and process originally used in high-performance competitive environments. Through seven years of meticulous research and development, Panerai transformed and developed a case that weighs 44% lighter than steel yet has fracture toughness ten times higher than traditional ceramic. 

Continued Passion For The Sea The new references strengthen the multi-year partnership between Panerai and Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, expounding on Panerai’s DNA in forging a portfolio of remarkable watches with a particular focus on instruments for aquatic adventures by combining innovation and passion-driven research for advancement.

Panerai showcases the new Submersible GMT Luna Rossa Titanio

This model will debut as a pioneering watch to feature the new Superluminova® X2 on indices and hour hand, an improved grade that ensures a luminosity 10% higher than its predecessor after 180 minutes in the dark. Water resistant up to 50 bar, this watch has been rigorously tested, subjecting it to pressure up to 25% greater than the guaranteed water resistance value to ensure it meets Panerai’s stringent standards. 

Panerai Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience Edition

Jaeger-LeCoultre debuted a new Polaris series in 2018, drawing inspiration from the vintage Memovox Polaris diving watch with its underwater alarm from 1968. As the brand’s exclusive sports watch line, the Polaris Chronograph, with its tachymeter bezel for measuring speed over a particular distance, is the quintessential athletic complication that connects JLC to the world of motorsport. 

Five years later, the Polaris Chronograph returns with a striking gradient gray lacquered dial and a new in-house integrated chronograph mechanism. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the lacquered grey dial is a visual delight, showcasing a stunning gradation of shades from light to dark.

Achieving this exquisite effect involves a long process, where nearly 40 layers of varnish are meticulously applied, followed by layers of colored and transparent lacquer. The final touch of a polished finish, brings out the dial’s lustrous sheen, making it a true work of art.

Nestled within its robust 42mm steel case, the dial of the Polaris Chronograph features three distinct levels of finishing, each contributing to its allure. The internal opaline bezel adds depth and dimension, while a grained circle surrounds the hours and indexes, enhancing legibility and refinement. At the center lies a sunray-brushed surface, radiating elegance and sophistication.

The functionality of the chronograph is exemplary, with its iconic attributes prominently displayed. The central second hand ensures precise timing, while the tachymeter scale enables speed calculations with ease. Positioned at 3 o’clock, the 30-minute counter provides convenient tracking of elapsed time during various activities.

This Polaris Chronograph is powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 761, a testament to the brand’s watchmaking expertise. This high-performance movement features an integrated chronograph mechanism, equipped with a column-wheel and vertical clutch for seamless operation and precision timing. With a generous power reserve of 65 hours, this timepiece is well-suited for adventurous pursuits, ensuring reliable performance even during extended periods of use.

Discover your Perfect Luxury Timepiece and Enjoy Special Privilege only at The Time Place Boutique.

Complementing its sporty yet refined aesthetic, the Polaris Chronograph is presented with two strap options: a beige fabric strap exuding casual elegance, and a black rubber strap for a more utilitarian appeal. Whether worn on outdoor expeditions or formal occasions, this timepiece effortlessly combines style and functionality, embodying the spirit of adventure and innovation that defines Jaeger-LeCoultre.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon Enamel is paired with a matching blue alligator strap fastened with a folding clasp made of pink gold. Discover our Jaeger-LeCoultre collections online or visit The Time Place boutique for more information.

Since 1955, the striking design of the Ingenieur has combined rugged sportiness with an undeniably technical appeal, and continues to do so to this day. In 2023, IWC introduced the new Ingenieur Automatic 40, which revisits the bold design of Gérald Genta’s iconic Ingenieur SL from the 1970s.

This model is basically a combination of the more modern integrated-bracelet design timepiece and the original one from 1976. It seems like a well-thought-out design. For instance, the classic five-notch bezel is back but with a bit of a twist. The bezel of this timepiece comes with five functioning bolts, maintaining its beauty while guaranteeing symmetry, while the old one features a screw-down bezel.

For the Ingenieur SL, a bezel with five recesses was screwed onto the case ring. As a result, the recesses ended up in a different position on each watch. With the Ingenieur Automatic 40, five screws secure the bezel to the case. 

The screws now have a technical function and, as a result, are always in the same position. In addition, the dial features a distinctive “Grid” structure, creating a balance with the technical and very sculptural case design.

The overall dimensions of the case have been carefully reworked and improved down to the smallest detail. The lug-to-lug distance of 45.7 millimeters ensures perfect ergonomics and excellent wearability, even on a slender wrist. While the Ingenieur SL from the 1970s had nose-shaped horns, the new Ingenieur Automatic 40 features a newly engineered middle-link attachment.

In addition, the dial features a distinctive “Grid” structure, creating a balance with the technical and very sculptural case design. It consists of small lines offset by 90 degrees from each other and is stamped into the soft iron blank before it is galvanized. Finally, appliques with luminescence add additional depth and ensure easy legibility, even at night.

This timepiece is powered by the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre with an automatic pawl winding system and a power reserve of 120 hours. In keeping with the tradition of the Ingenieur, a soft-iron inner case efficiently protects the movement from the effects of magnetic fields on its accuracy. Moreover, the case is water-resistant to 10 bar, making the Ingenieur Automatic 40 a modern and fully versatile sports watch.

At Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024, Roger Dubuis celebrated the tourbillon in all its forms with four astonishing releases. Each brand-new timepiece stands out for having its own distinctive mechanics and breathtaking aesthetics, demonstrating once more why Roger Dubuis is a watchmaker unlike any other. 

Invented over 200 years ago, the tourbillon stands at the pinnacle of high horology. Roger Dubuis is one watchmaker to have accepted this complex challenge, delivering decades of its own expressive interpretations and signature designs. Their tourbillon journey continues at Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024, where four new masterpieces are revealed. Each one demonstrates the incredible artistry of Hyper Horology™, while telling its own tourbillon story through mechanics and beauty.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Titanium Monotourbillon

The Excalibur Titanium Monotourbillon is the brand’s second titanium-crafted watch, and it is only available in a limited edition of 28 pieces. The Monotourbillon, which is normally found at six o’clock, is featured at seven o’clock on the skeleton dial. In addition, the upper bridge is modelled by the Celtic Cross, the bottom side has a flying tourbillon case, and the rehaut has minute markings.

The hand-decorated, internally created Calibre RD512SQ, which has a 72-hour power reserve, powers the watch. Its movement bears the Poinçon de Genève trademark, attesting to its provenance and dependability. The watch is completed with a metallic bracelet using the brand’s three-row style.

Roger Dubuis Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon

The 45mm Excalibur Sunrise Double Tourbillon is crafted in pink gold. With 108 gemstones overall, the watch has a skeleton dial with a gem-set Celtic Cross and nine hour markers, as well as a bezel adorned with red garnets, orange spessartite, and yellow sapphires.

A twin flying monotourbillon at the bottom of the dial serves as another fascination. With its automatic calibre RD108, this luxurious watch has a power reserve of almost 72 hours. It is a limited edition of eight pieces. The watch is finished with an exquisite calf leather strap.

Roger Dubuis Orbis in Machina

The 88-piece limited edition Orbis in Machina, so named because of the tourbillon’s revolving nature and the dial’s circular orbit, has a central flying tourbillon that is a component of the Calibre RD115 and has a power reserve of 72 hours. The 45mm 18K pink gold watch’s dial also has a rehaut that displays the hour markers and grey concentric 3D discs that show the minutes and seconds.

This timepiece is the first Central Tourbillon watch from the company that has been introduced in a collection and completed with a strap made of black leather.

At the Watches & Wonders Geneva 2024, Cartier has officially unveiled its upcoming collection. The Richemont-owned legacy jewellery company, which is further increasing its presence in the luxury watch market, releases updated classics for the contemporary world.   Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph, Santos de Cartier Dual Time, Santos-Dumont Rewind, Reflection de Cartier Watch, and Animal Jewellery Watch are a few of the new models. See below all the features that each watch has to offer.

Cartier Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph

Cartier is bringing back its iconic Tortue Monopoussoir form, drawing inspiration from the late 1990s. The watch’s Journe-Flageollet-Halter movement and aid, which come in platinum and yellow gold, are its most striking features. The watch is limited edition and has an opaline dial with a grained gold or silver finish, as well as a sapphire crystal front and caseback. The innovative monopusher chronograph mechanism of the watch is only available in 200 pieces per metal and has a height of 4.3 mm. The watch is available with a red alligator leather and platinum pin buckle or a dark blue alligator leather with a yellow gold pin clasp.

Santos de Cartier Dual Time

With the Santos de Cartier Dual Time, a modern take on the vintage wristwatch, agility and a sporty appearance are prioritised. True to its history as the first custom-made pilot’s watch in history, this useful dual-time watch is appropriate for any jet-setter. The watch’s innovation keeps pushing the envelope in line with Cartier’s concept of an opulent sports watch. The watch, which is the first in the Santos family to have dual time, has the recognisable Cartier Roman numerals set against the railway minute tack of a sword-shaped minutes and hours hand. The 100-meter water resistant grey dial contrasts sharply with the silver Roman numerals. 

Santos-Dumont Rewind

The Santos-Dumont Rewind is part of the Santos family’s ongoing expansion. The manually wound watch’s backward-running dial provides an unusual method of telling time. Playfulness is elevated to a new level with the unquestionably fun-focused, brilliant red watch, which comes in a striking variety. The release features a 200-piece run, although reading the backwards chronology piece can take some getting used to. The platinum casing of the 31.5mm Santos-Dumont has a sapphire front. The platinum pin buckle on the red alligator leather perfectly matches the Carnelian red sunburst dial.

Santos-Dumont

Cartier, who is still experimenting with colour, has released three new Santos-Dumont shades.  Olive green, taupe grey, and peacock blue compliment a new trio of case materials: 18k rose gold, 18k yellow gold, and 18k platinum. Every watch has an alligator leather band with an ardillon buckle that matches the case colour. Rather than using the Roman numerals found on their predecessor timepieces, all three of these watches use Arabic numerals. Those new models are powered by an ultra-thin 430 MC calibre.

The majesty and jewellery traditions of the French house are beautifully merged in The Reflection de Cartier. The watch has been dubbed a “veritable sculpture to wear on the wrist” by Marie-Laure Cérède of Cartier. Specifically crafted to function as a hybrid bracelet and understated timepiece, the quartet of models incorporates priceless stones such as diamonds, opal, amethysts, garnets, and more to contribute to the comeback of the eye-catching accessory. The pieces are available in 18k rose gold, 18k yellow gold, and 18k white gold, with an optional gem setting. A dial made of sandblasted silver and 18k white gold is included on each item. One of the most remarkable aspects of this piece’s craftsmanship is its highly polished surface, which faces the dial and reflects light without distortion.

On the opening day of Watches and Wonders in Geneva, supermodel and IWC Brand Ambassador Gisele Bündchen visited IWC Schaffhausen at its booth. Chris Grainger-Herr, the CEO of IWC Schaffhausen, and Franziska Gsell, the CMO of IWC Schaffhausen, welcomed her upon her arrival. 

This year at Watches and Wonders, IWC launches its new Portugieser collection. With the introduction of new design codes and complications, IWC once again showcases its expertise in fine watchmaking. 

During her visit, Gisele, who will be part of the Portugieser campaign, toured the booth which this year is designed with the theme of “A Tribute to Eternity”. Reminiscent of the endless cycle of day and night, the booth showcases the new colours, Silver Moon, Horizon Blue, Dune and Obsidian. Each of which is uniquely reminiscent of the journey from dusk till dawn.

“It is a pleasure to be here with IWC at Watches and Wonders and see the beautiful new Portugieser collection,” states Gisele. Commenting on what “A Tribute to Eternity” means to her, she continued “Time is a special gift and using it wisely impacts what we leave behind for future generations. I chose to use my time to focus on my family, love, learning, health, and friendships.”

On the special occasion, Gisele wore the new Portugieser Chronograph (ref. IW371626) in Horizon Blue. The blue dial is intricately crafted and finished with 15 transparent layers, giving it a captivating visual depth. It is fitted with a gradient light blue calfstrap from Santoni and powered by the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre.

Horizon Blue draws its inspiration from the serene yet vibrant blue hues of the early afternoon sky. When paired with the white-gold case, it gives the watch an underlying sense of lightness. This combination of colour and material gives the watch an elegant and refined look, making it a perfect choice for everyday use. 

Gisele explained what particularly draws her to the Horizon blue colour, “One thing that is important to me about selecting a watch is that it matches my personal style and is versatile. The Horizon Blue sparks a sense of peace and calm when I wear it. As we all are busy with work and families, we need to remember time is precious and we must take a moment for ourselves.”

Watches & Wonders is one of the most anticipated annual events for watch lovers around the world. This is because it’s an event where new watches from some of the biggest brands in the watch industry are unveiled. That said, more than 100 new watches are introduced, and there are a few that we think are worth the spotlight.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual

A stunning fusion of advanced mechanics and elegant design. The heart of this watch is the brand-new manual Calibre 388, which was created totally in-house. It has an amazing tourbillon that spins on three axes to create a unique “spinning top” effect, a first for the Maison. Within a redesigned pink gold case that pays homage to 19th-century savonette pocket watches, the Duomètre Héliotourbillon Perpetual combines classic style with cutting-edge technology. The 34-part case’s unique structure, which combines brushed, polished, and micro-blasted surfaces, adds to its visual appeal and harmonises with the intricate movement inside.

Zenith DEFY Extreme Diver

The DEFY Extreme Diver, which pays homage to the innovative spirit of the 1969 DEFY divers, has undergone an appealing redesign for 2024. The 42.5mm case, which is made of durable titanium, has precisely the right angles for the ideal balance of strength and sophistication. With a helium escape valve, this watch is perfect for the daring deep-sea adventurer in you and undoubtedly raises the bar for other diving watches available. Behind a sapphire display, there’s El Primero 3620-SC automatic high-frequency manufacturer calibre. You will also have plenty of time to explore thanks to the 60-hour power reserve.

Hublot Big Bang UNICO Ice Bang

For its new online exclusive, Hublot releases a unique piece: an “Ice Bang” equipped with the Unico movement! With the Big Bang Unico Ice Bang, Hublot has taken a radical stance while remaining faithful to the powerful aesthetic of the original model released in 2006, creating a sophisticated watch with a stunning array of high-tech materials and features which make it a must-have piece. Limited to 100 pieces, this model will be available exclusively on the hublot.com e-commerce boutique.

Piaget Polo Date – 150th Anniversary Edition

For this year’s exhibition, they have struck the perfect chord between the bright gadroons of the historic Piaget Polo and the casual-chic allure of the iconic Piaget Polo Date. This will take shape as a limited edition of a 42mm and a 36mm, both made of steel with a stylish rubber strap – a first for the 36mm. Each version will be produced in a series of 300 rare pieces. Giving a nod to the signature gadroons on the original Piaget Polo, the dials of these two collector’s timepieces display the same stunning play of materials as their ancestor. This Extraleganza heritage, a blend of elegance and extravagance, was also key to the decision to offer a duo of timepieces.

Panerai Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience Edition

This is the first Submersible 45mm with the P.2015/T mechanical calibre. It includes the innovative patented Panerai tourbillon in which the cage rotates on an axis perpendicular to that of the balance wheel and makes a complete rotation in thirty seconds.  The timepiece is made of Carbotech™, recalling a material also used on the Luna Rossa boat, an engineering feat that is 80% lighter than steel. Owners will enjoy an exclusive America’s Cup finals experience in Barcelona, with behind-the-scenes and front-row access to the competition with the Luna Rossa team.

Roger Dubuis Sunrise Double Tourbillon

Sitting on the wrist, the 42mm case of the watch is built from pink gold and is mounted with a robust brass flange, which itself has been given a pink gold galvanic treatment, along with indexes filled with black Super-LumiNova™. Inside the case, there’s The RD512SQ Calibre that has 72 hours of power reserve. To resist surrounding forces, the Flying Tourbillon includes an upper cage in non-magnetic Cobalt Chrome, and a lower cage in titanium – also non-magnetic and twice lighter than steel. Two tourbillons linked with a differential directly connected to the second wheel of the gear train for a better transmission of the energy. Poinçon de Genève certified, one of the most demanding certifications in the world of Haute Horlogerie

IWC Schaffhausen Portugieser Eternal Calendar

This is the first secular perpetual calendar developed by IWC Schaffhausen. It automatically recognises the different lengths of the months and adds a leap day every four years at the end of February. While a perpetual calendar is programmed for a four year cycle, the Portugieser Eternal Calendar goes one step further: thanks to a new 400-year gear, it also considers the Gregorian calendar’s leap year exceptions by skipping three leap years over 400 years. In addition, its moon phase is so accurate that it will – theoretically – only deviate by one day after 45 million years. 

Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Sumit 

The collection welcomes a new model combining the Maison’s watchmaking and jewellery expertise, and whose exceptional refinement has been saluted by the Poinçon de Genève. The 41 mm-diameter case, as well as the entire dial, bezel, crown and integrated bracelet in ethical 18-carat white gold, are set with meticulously cut diamonds. Making no compromises in terms of technical expertise, this true collector’s timepiece benefits from the watchmaking savoir-faire of Chopard Manufacture embodied in the ultra-thin L.U.C 96.41-L movement, with automatic winding via a micro-rotor ensuring a 65-hour power reserve.

Cartier Privé Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph

Cartier is bringing back its iconic Tortue Monopoussoir form, drawing inspiration from the late 1990s. The watch’s Journe-Flageollet-Halter movement and aid, which come in platinum and yellow gold, are its most striking features. The watch is limited edition and has an opaline dial with a grained gold or silver finish, as well as a sapphire crystal front and caseback. The innovative monopusher chronograph mechanism of the watch is only available in 200 pieces per metal and has a height of 4.3 mm. The watch is available with a red alligator leather and platinum pin buckle or a dark blue alligator leather with a yellow gold pin clasp.

So which one is your favourite? Those new models will be available soon at The Time Place boutique. Stay tuned for more information. 

IWC Schaffhausen unveils its new Portugieser collection at Watches and Wonders in Geneva. Building on its unique expertise in calendars, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer introduces the Portugieser Eternal Calendar. A humble tribute to eternity, IWC’s first secular perpetual calendar also features a moon phase accuracy of 45 million years. 

The eternal cycle of day and night has also inspired four new signature dial colours: Horizon Blue, Dune, Obsidian and Silver Moon which can also be found across the complete range of novelties, including the new Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44, Portugieser Automatic 42, Portugieser Automatic 40 and Portugieser Chronograph. All watches in the new Portugieser collection feature intricately crafted dials, finished with 15 layers of transparent lacquer, and are powered by IWC manufactured movements.

Portugieser Eternal Calendar (Ref. IW505701) 

This is the first secular perpetual calendar developed by IWC Schaffhausen. It automatically recognises the different lengths of the months and adds a leap day every four years at the end of February. While a perpetual calendar is programmed for a four year cycle, the Portugieser Eternal Calendar goes one step further: thanks to a new 400-year gear, it also considers the Gregorian calendar’s leap year exceptions by skipping three leap years over 400 years. In addition, its moon phase is so accurate that it will – theoretically – only deviate by one day after 45 million years. 

Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night (Ref. IW545901) 

This timepiece features a flying minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock and a day and night indication with a small globe, which rotates around its axis once every 24 hours. The idea for this indication came from a former IWC apprentice watchmaker. Featuring an 18-carat Armor Gold® case and Obsidian dial, the watch is powered by the IWCmanufactured 81925 calibre with manual winding. 

Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44 (Ref. IW5037) 

The new model features a completely re-engineered case construction with a slimmer casing ring. Box-shaped glasses on the front and back showcase the intricately crafted dials and the IWC-manufactured 52616 calibre, which features a Pellaton winding system with ceramic components and offers a power reserve of seven days. Four versions are available in 18-carat white gold or 18-carat Armor Gold® with either Horizon Blue, Dune, Obsidian or Silver Moon dials. 

Portugieser Automatic 42 (Ref. IW5017)

This new model comes with a new case construction with a slimmer casing ring and double box-glass sapphire crystals. At work inside is the IWC-manufactured 520111 calibre with Pellaton winding, ceramic components and a 7-day power reserve. Available in six new versions in 18-carat white gold, 18-carat 5N gold or stainless steel, the Portugieser Automatic 42 is a classic instrument dress watch that retains the DNA of the original Portugieser Automatic from 2000.

Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. 3716)

Having formed a major pillar of the Portugieser collection since 1998, the Portugieser Chronograph (Ref. 3716) launches in three new versions in 18-carat White Gold, 18-carat 5N gold or stainless steel with either a Horizon Blue, an Obsidian or a Dune dial. Powered by the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre, the chronograph is distinguished by its easy-to-read dial with the vertically arranged totalizers. The quarter-second scale enables highly accurate stop time measurements and reflects the Portugieser’s DNA as a measuring instrument.

So which one is your favourite? Those new collections from IWC will be available soon at The Time Place boutique. Stay tuned for more information. 

Hublot has put together a huge display of innovations at this year’s Watches & Wonders in Geneva, which includes multiple reimaginings of the Big Bang, fresh takes on the cutting-edge MP model, and modernized versions of the Classic Fusion. Several timepieces were included within the collection, such as the Big Bang MP-11 14-Day Power Reserve Water Blue Sapphire, the Big Bang E Gen 3 EURO wristwatch, and new iterations of the Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu, to mention a few.

BIG BANG MP-11 WATER BLUE SAPPHIRE

The MP-11, featuring its sculptural 7-barrel movement with a 2-week power reserve, makes its debut in a brand new colour: a radiant and translucent water blue. A new colour is added to Hublot’s palette of sapphire tones, a major first for this Manufacture Piece. This new shade is based on a new chemical formula, a custom development, and an exclusive transparency index, yet still boasts all the usual properties of sapphire: brilliant, luminous, perfectly inalterable, and 100% resistant to knocks and scratches.

BIG BANG INTEGRATED TIME ONLY 38MM

The Big Bang Integrated Time Only is back. It embodies the original DNA of the Big Bang, with a solid dial and integrated bracelet, in a smaller version that represents the foundations of Hublot’s success. Iconic with an adventurous look, 38mm of elegance and materials that are at the heart of the Art of Fusion. The exceptional Big Bang has helped build Hublot’s reputation, and today we witness a new shift for the watchmaker with the striking evolution of a classic.

BIG BANG E UEFA EURO 2024™

Hublot has created a light blue-coded smart watch to commemorate this year’s UEFA European Football Championship, which guarantees its wearer stays informed in real-time for the athletic event’s finals. From a technical point of view, this watch is the third iteration of Hublot’s proprietary smartwatch. It now boasts a Qualcomm® Snapdragon WearTM 4100+ engine, eight sensors, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC payment capabilities, and GPS functionality.

Following eight years of working together with tattoo artist Maxime Plescia-Buchi, Hublot is now successful to create the first Spirit of Big Bang Sang Bleu with sapphire design. The watch’s unique elegance and aesthetics—particularly the exquisite details included in its HUB4700 skeletonized chronograph movement—can be appreciated more fully with the redesigned case. This updated version, which has the same dimensions as the original model, has a 42mm structural and faceted watch case.
