The Butterfly Effect
The best and most successful collaborations are the ones that are born out of authentic affinities and talks. Such is the case of the new Chopard X Mariah Carey collaboration, which includes the exquisite butterfly creations manufactured by the Swiss powerhouse as part of the creative partnership with the legendary artist.

Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces two sparkling new expressions of the Rendez-Vous Dazzling Night & Day with a fully diamond-set dial complementing the two circles of diamonds that form the bezel – the Rendez-Vous Dazzling signature.

Shades of green
I’ve long been a fan of colored dials, from the vibrant semi-precious stones of the sixties to the many hues employed today in the watchmaking industry. While most of the time I am quite monochrome, I am also very much in favor of occasional splashes of color, which I find are perfect for the current gloomy mindset.
IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN OPENS ITS FIRST BOUTIQUE IN BERLIN
Located on Kurfürstendamm, the city’s famous shopping boulevard, it is designed as an open and welcoming space where clients can discover the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer’s main collections.

Piaget: A neverending story
A constant presence in Piaget’s collection of jewels and jewelry watches, the rose is the symbol that this house values the most.

A slender silhouette for a fantastic sports collection – Vacheron Constantin Overseas self-winding
When it comes to elegance in sports watches, the Overseas collection from Vacheron Constantin stands out. With clean and precise lines inspired by historical models, the Overseas is the go-to choice for both ladies and gentlemen collectors. Easily recognizable from afar for those in the know, it still remains fairly neutral for the large masses accustomed to more mainstream brands and models. This year, the Grande Maison has released two new, more delicate sizes: a 34.5mm version, available in steel and gold with a blue dial, and a gem-set 35mm version available in a pink gold case with a blue dial, and in a steel case with a pink dial.
LM Sequential Evo – The super chronograph
MB&F is the brand that I’ve probably written about the most in recent years, but I have been following it since its early days. 2022 brings a new innovation from Maximilian Büsser & Stephen McDonnell: a legacy machine dedicated to lovers of complicated mechanisms and high-speed sports.
