Chopard watch
Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF
Chopard’s integrated bracelet watch is gliding faster thanks to an 8Hz in-house movement.
The Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF beats not only a rather unusual frequency as the majority of modern movements favour 4Hz, it is thanks to this increased cadence that the watch therefore offers improved precision.
Chopard then goes one step further by recladding this Alpine Eagle in titanium – as opposed to Lucent Steel A223 – so the watch is lighter in weight and a shade darker. It is limited to 250 numbered pieces.
Hublot
Hublot Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio
Hublot and Berluti renew their vow with a new watch announced in September 2021 after first lacing up their fingers 5 years ago with another collaborative timepiece.
The latest Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio descends after a brief lull, with the previous effort arriving in a medley of leather and ceramic in late 2020.
The watch appeals to individuals who gravitate towards monochrome, with the new creation’s understated and nuanced aesthetics cascading from the 44mm titanium case to the bi-material strap made of rubber and Berluti’s patinated Venezia leather. The watch is limited to 100 pieces.
MB&F
MB&F LM Perpetual Palladium
Often an element used in the creation of 18k white gold, palladium has emerged from the shadow of platinum and gold in the past few years with a burgeoning number of watchmakers favouring palladium as the metal of choice for watch cases.
The latest is MB&F, who presents the LM Perpetual Palladium featuring a fully integrated perpetual calendar movement consisting of 581 miniscule parts. Limited to 25 pieces, this MB&F machine is part brain child of independent Irish watchmaker Stephen McDonnell.
Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope
The creator of the Speedmaster challenges your perception of the lunar-conquering chronograph with the Speedmaster Chronoscope, referencing an old-timer from its pre-moonwatch archives.
While a typical chronograph either features a telemeter or a tachymeter scale, this Speedy is equipped with both in addition to a pulsometer.
With that, the dial of the chronograph is a symphony of a series of printed scales interspersing with a pair of subdials to create layered, overlapping and retro aesthetics unique to this Speedmaster
Chronoscope crossover and atypical of other Speedmaster editions. It is an unmistakably modern watch brimming with vintage familiarity that makes you pause for a second – is it a Speedmaster or is it not?
