The Richard Mille RM 67‑01 is the brand’s first ultra-thin tonneau-shaped automatic watch, combining elegant design with technical excellence. Its titanium case measures just 7.75 mm thick and 38.7 × 47.5 mm in size, crafted through over 200 precise machining steps.
Inside, the skeletonised CRMA6 calibre is only 3.6 mm thick and features a free-sprung balance, platinum rotor, and 50-hour power reserve. Functions include hours, minutes, date at 5 o’clock, and a function selector at 2 o’clock. The open-worked dial with Arabic numerals and sapphire crystal front and back highlights its mechanical beauty.
Van Cleef & Arpels Ludo Secret Watch
Embodying the elegance and sophistication of the couture world, the Couture collection adds a fresh and stylish touch to one of Maison’s main inspirations. Van Cleef & Arpels reimagines the Ludo watch from its family collection by introducing new timepieces. True to the long-standing tradition of Maison’s secret watches, the Ludo Secret watches discreetly conceal a guilloché white mother-of-pearl dial.
The Aquanaut Luce collection for ladies welcomes a new, practical and easy-to-use complication: the patented Annual Calendar: a complete day/date/month calendar requiring only one manual correction per year, at the end of February. The manufacture is thus enriching its offer of complicated ladies’ watches with a non-gemset model.
The iconic design of the rose gold case and bezel with a rounded octagonal shape is enhanced by the contrast between polished and satin-brushed finishes. The contemporary “sporty chic” style is reinforced by the blue-gray dial and composite strap with Aquanaut pattern.
From the Quai des Bergues Lady collection, Czapek presents the Lady No.7 model, clad in a luxurious 1N white gold case and adorned with lustrous diamonds. The model measures a 38.5mm diameter and is topped with a curved scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass lens that protects the surface of a stunning mother of pearl dial. The captivating pearly shades of the dial are accompanied by glistening VVS diamonds located at each hour marker. The display, with white gold Fleur de Lys hands, also features a small second sub-dial at 7 o’clock and a power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock.
The Czapek Quai des Bergues Lady No.7 watch is powered by one of the brand’s proprietary movements, complete with double open ratchets, sandblasted bridges, blue screws, bevelling, and final anglage decoration that have all been made visible through a sapphire crystal glass caseback. The manual winding movement is capable of producing a 7 day power reserve that can be read from the power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock. To complete its elegant look, the white gold Quai des Bergues watch is fitted on a deep blue alligator leather strap with a white gold buckle.
The Antarctique combines sophisticated style and look with a genuine in-house power movement bound to stake a major claim in the popular sport-chic segment.
The Antarctique is a 40.5 mm or 38.5 mm three-hander, thin enough to slip comfortably under a cuff, and with a carefully-honed, edgy look. The transparent case back reveals the model’s beating heart, the vigorous, 30-millimeter SXH5 automatic caliber, conceived internally by a multifaceted team. Special attention was given to both performance and appearance, so the movement’s parts are arranged for visual harmony and transparency.
Alternatively, the Antarctique Rattrapante in 42.5 mm., a split-second mono-pusher chronograph with a unique, dial-side mechanism, embodies the delicate balance between high-end mechanics and refined aesthetics.
