In ultra-pastel shades of pastel pink, sky blue or white, with mother-of-pearl dials and alligator leather straps in matching colours, it is clear who Carl F Bucherer’s Patravi ChronoDate is targeting — the discerning woman who knows her watches. Within the 40mm white-gold case and under the diamond-studded bezel and hour markers, the real shiner is the automatic Calibre CFB 1956, which powers the time, date and chronograph functions.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the J12, Chanel has endowed this iconic line of timepieces with a COSC-certified automatic calibre from movement-maker Kenissi. Instantly recognisable for its ceramic construction and perfectly balanced proportions, the new J12 retains the outstanding aesthetic for which it is known while incorporating a powerful new heart, visible through the transparent caseback.
Powered by the new automatic Calibre 9S27, Grand Seiko’s latest women’s collection comprises five models that present a timeless, understated aesthetic. While the two steel watches boast a typically austere Japanese refinement, the 18-carat pink, white and yellow gold versions have a modest sprinkling of diamonds for a more subtle elegance.
Drawing inspiration from the lavish social parties of the 1920s, Frederique Constant’s Art Dé co collection celebrates femininity through a classic and timeless watch with minimalist details that embody grace and style. Right from its oval-shaped case and fluted caseband, to the guilloché d white or navy mother-of-pearl dial, its design language whispers a quiet, informed charm.
