Favre Leuba Raider Sea Bird Automatic (Ref. 00.10110.08.71.20)

From the collection of legacy brand Favre Leuba, the Raider Sea Bird Automatic comes in a 34 mm stainless steel, cushion-shaped case. A brown sunray dial sits beneath a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, with luminous hands and hour markers. 

Powering the timepiece is the automatic ETA 2824-2 movement, offering about 38 hours of power reserve. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres, and comes with a steel bracelet.

38 mm Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic 0 Oxygen (Ref. 134024)

Inspired by Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc, the Montblanc Iced Sea Automatic 0 Oxygen now comes in a compact 38 mm - a size loved by women. Made with stainless steel and brushed finishes, the case incorporates Montblanc’s Zero Oxygen technology to prevent fogging and oxidation. The white glacier-inspired dial is textured using a wood-scratching technique (gratté boisé) to mimic ice crystals and is complemented by a ceramic bezel. The syringe-shaped hands, indices, and numerals are filled with Super-LumiNova. A framed date window sits at 3 o'clock.

The caseback features an engraving of a scuba diver and iceberg, concealing the MB 24.17 automatic movement (Sellita SW200-1) with a 38-hour power reserve. The timepiece comes with an interchangeable tapering steel bracelet.

Hermès Maillon Libre

For mothers who love dressing up, the Hermès Maillon Libre makes for the best luxury accessory. The timepiece features an anchor-chain-link case and bracelet - the brand’s renowned motif - crafted in white or rose gold and studded with brilliant-cut diamonds, as well as tourmalines for the rose gold version. The time-only watch has tiny hour and minute hands driven by a Swiss quartz movement. 

To fit various wrists, the Hermès Maillon Libre comes in lengths from 140 mm to 170 mm.

Bvlgari Serpenti Aeterna

From Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti collection, the recently released Aeterna is a high-jewellery bangle watch featuring a sleek, sculpted form in precious metals and adorned with diamonds. The timepiece departs from past designs by omitting the serpent’s mouth and traditional eyes. 

Instead, the arrowhead-shaped dial sits on the serpent’s head and comes in two luxurious versions - rose gold with snow-set brilliant-cut diamonds on the dial, crown, and spine with rose gold hands; and white gold fully set with diamonds and an emerald-studded crown, with green hands. The Bvlgari Aeterna comes in two sizes - 145 mm and 155 mm - and is powered by a quartz movement.

Cartier Tressage

Cartier presented a fresh jewellery watch collection - Tressage, a sculptural timepiece that seamlessly merges high jewellery with watchmaking. Its design features two interwoven bands of gold and diamonds encircling a central rectangular dial. The watch measures 56.2 mm x 25.7 mm x 1.5 mm and is powered by a quartz movement.

The Tressage offers four luxurious versions, crafted in either white or yellow gold. One yellow gold model features a black lacquered dial paired with a matching strap. Another, in a mix of yellow and white gold, has its case, buckle, and dial adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds. The two white gold variants are set with a navy blue strap - one fully encrusted with 1,000 brilliant-cut diamonds, and the other set with 570 brilliant-cut diamonds and 330 brilliant-cut sapphires.

Special Mention: Franck Muller Cintrée Curvex Cut Flower (Ref. 2850 S6 SQT)

Combining high jewellery, mechanics, and the elegance of flowers, the Cintrée Curvex Cut Flower is a gorgeous timepiece for women from Franck Muller’s latest collection. The watch is housed in a 31 mm x 43 mm rose gold case, elegantly set with Curvex Cut® Diamonds—a unique 73-facet cut developed to maximise brilliance. Its design evokes the image of a flower in full bloom, with diamond-set petals that catch and reflect light beautifully. At the heart of the watch is a skeletonised dial, revealing the intricacies of the in-house MVT FM 1540-CS1 movement.
