L’Epée 1839 La Regatta – a vertical skiff in Grand Feu
L’Epée 1839 turns La Regatta into a quiet study of motion, reimagined as one-of-one Métiers d’Art pieces that wear Grand Feu enamel like water on a racing hull.

Girard-Perregaux extends the Neo Constant Escapement with two contrasts in character: an 18K pink gold reference and an ultra-limited carbon and silicium composite.

Lederer’s CIC 39mm: When Stubbornness Meets Genius
Some watchmakers chase beauty. Others chase sales numbers. Bernhard Lederer? He’s been chasing a problem that’s frustrated horologists for literally centuries. And judging by the CIC 39mm’s selection as an LVMH Watch Prize semi-finalist, he might have actually caught it.
