In a week marked by fewer launches but exceptional quality, luxury watchmakers have unveiled an array of stunning timepieces. Parmigiani Fleurier, Bulgari, Hermès, and others have introduced new models that blend innovation with traditional craftsmanship. These releases not only highlight the brands’ commitment to excellence but also showcase unique collaborations and thematic inspirations.
Parmigiani Fleurier’s Architectural Elegance
Parmigiani Fleurier has once again demonstrated its mastery in design with the Tonda PF Micro Rotor Stainless Steel & Rose Gold Stone Blue. This model combines stainless steel and rose gold, emphasizing the architectural details of its case. The Stone Blue dial, devoid of a date opening, maintains an elegant aesthetic. Powered by the PF703 automatic calibre, the watch features a micro-rotor with the same Grain d’Orge guilloché pattern as the dial, priced at CHF 28,200.
Bulgari’s Fusion of Art and Design
Bulgari has collaborated with Japanese artist Yasuhiro Asai to create two special editions of the Lvcea collection. These watches feature dials made of Urushi lacquer, combining mother-of-pearl micro mosaic and black lacquer for an exquisite play of light. Limited to 80 pieces each, these models come with two-tone cases and gem-set bezels, with prices available upon request.
Hermès Celebrates Musical Heritage
In celebration of its first boutique opening in Nashville, Hermès has launched the Arceau On Air! watch. This limited edition piece draws inspiration from the city’s rich musical heritage. Artist Carine Brancowitz reimagines her On Air! scarf design on the Arceau 38 model’s dial, available in burgundy and blue. Each variant features a Metier d’Arts miniature on a sapphire disc, priced at US$69,800.
