One of the most stylish features of this timepiece is the colored sapphire, which accentuates complications featured on the watch. For starters, the watch comes with multiple indicators to display the exact day and month.

It also has a date indicator, with denotations running from 4 to 8 O’clock in a semi-circular line. Such denotations are complemented by white hour markers. Unlike the previous models, this model is fitted with long hour markers, which are quite stylish. Since the hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova, this timepiece makes it easier for anyone to tell the time at night.

Thanks to the clear case back, every element on the mechanism, from the jewel to the mechanical bridges, is in plain sight—this adds some character to the watch.

The Bovet Récital 21 Perpetual Calendar is equipped with the 13DM05-QPR caliber, which offers a 120-hour power reserve.

The watch is available in three different color options—blue, green, and brown. Each color option comes with a matching strap. For instance, the timepiece with the blue sapphire is complemented by a blue strap.

As a limited edition piece, Bovet rolled out 180 pieces. Every color has 60 pieces. The Bovet Récital 21 Perpetual Calendar retails at $101,448.

At 38mm the watch showcases a configuration from El Primero's past. Not many people realize the high-frequency chronograph movement from Zenith had a triple calendar, besides the moon phase. In 1970, the company made 25 prototypes using the A386 case design.

Dating back to the early ‘90s, German watch brand Nomos Glashutte has dominated the industry with stylish timepieces. It is now collaborating with Ace Jewelers to mark a special milestone in the boutique's journey—its 50th anniversary.

Think of it as a splash of color that makes everything look more interesting.

To make the collection more lively, the brand opted for contemporary color shades—orange and yellow. Each model features a subdial above 6 o’clock that’s highlighted by a different shade, which complements the dial. While the orange version has a yellow subdial, the yellow variant comes with an orange sundial, two warm colors that blend perfectly. The Metro line consists of three watch models with white and blue dials—the new orange dials add a touch of spice to the collection.
