Breguet Celebrates 250 Years with the Classique Souscription 2025
To mark its 250th anniversary, Breguet introduces the Classique Souscription 2025, a modern tribute to the original 1796 subscription watch. It features a grand feu enamel dial, a single blued-steel hand, and Arabic numerals—all nods to Abraham-Louis Breguet’s minimalist aesthetic. At its core is the new VS00 calibre, offering a 96-hour power reserve and crafted in Breguet’s proprietary gold alloy. The caseback displays a guilloché motif inspired by an 18th-century Paris map, while 13 inventions as well as a historic pantograph-engraved signature underline the watch’s technical and historical depth. It’s the first in a nine-part anniversary series.

Vacheron Constantin celebrates its 270th anniversary with a remarkable entry in the Overseas collection: the Grande Complication Openface. Housed in Grade 5 titanium, the piece showcases the calibre 2755P, which combines a tourbillon, minute repeater, and perpetual calendar in just 7.9 mm of thickness. The skeletonized sapphire dial and caseback highlight all 602 components, including visible repeater hammers and a Geneva Seal hallmark.

Czapek’s Promenade Diamond Drops
Czapek expands its Promenade line with the Diamond Drops, inspired by morning dew and frozen water. The dial dazzles with 360 diamonds and 319 sapphires, all snow-set by hand across a white gold base. Additional gems on the crown, bezel, and flange elevate the brilliance to over 3 carats. Beneath the artistry lies the SXH5. 1 calibre, a micro-rotor movement with 60 hours of reserve and seven openworked bridges. Encased in 38 mm white gold and paired with a sapphire-blue strap, this 10-piece limited edition celebrates gem-setting mastery and horological elegance in perfect harmony.
Van Cleef & Arpels Cadenas Turns 90
Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates 90 years of its Cadenas watch, originally launched in 1935. The design, inspired by a padlock, fuses modernist minimalism with surrealist thought. A new yellow gold version with diamonds and sapphires revives the original’s spirit of subversive elegance. The slanted dial—intended for discreet time-reading—reflects 1930s social codes while challenging conventional norms. With its flexible serpent chain and clean geometry, the Cadenas remains a symbol of independence and bold design. This anniversary edition confirms the Maison’s belief that true luxury is both functional and avant-garde.
