While Biver specializes in high-end luxurious timepieces that are quite exclusive, it also designs quality timepieces for watch enthusiasts who have an inclination for details. “These collectors have a keen eye for detail and value timeless classics over fleeting trends. Their knowledge and expertise are remarkably diverse,” said Pierre Biver, Co-Founder & Creative Director of Biver.

It’s worth noting that the new Automatique Japan Edition watch is the brainchild of two organizations, Biver and The Hour Glass Japan. The latter is a famous retail shop based in Japan. Pierre Biver states, “Japan remains a place where true mastery of craftsmanship is deeply respected and cultivated. It is a privilege to create special pieces for these collectors and this market.”

To offer multiple styling options, the watch comes in two versions and is manufactured from different materials—platinum and rose gold. The version with a rose gold casing is paired with a black dial—a color that creates a beautiful contrast between the two parts. The second option has a white dial that blends perfectly with the titanium casing.

Pierre Biver added, “Black and white dials were chosen because they align with traditional Japanese aesthetics.” The two colors are quite popular in watchmaking, and they are timeless shades that have dominated the industry for decades.

The enamel dial requires a lot of effort—about 10 hours—but the good news is that, thanks to the enamel dial, the front face reflects light stylishly.

The limited edition Automatique Japan Edition has a Caliber JCB-003, which can be seen through the caseback.

The rose gold option costs $101,000, and the platinum variant costs $104,500.

Luxury watchmaker H. Moser and Cie is currently in the spotlight at Watches and Wonders with the release of the POP Collection, a debut that takes the minimalist aesthetic through a bold experiment in color. The independent Swiss brand, highly regarded for its sophisticated yet understated vibe, has debuted five bold new fumé dial variations—each of which has been paired with accompanying alligator straps to maximize the visual impact.  
18 timepieces to choose from

Moser & Cie are revered for striking releases and their latest includes eighteen singular timepieces across three distinct models, each bringing their own perspective of natural beauty through exquisite gemstone dials. The brand’s lineup includes the Endeavour Small Seconds in 38mm steel cases (limited to 28 pieces), the Endeavour Tourbillon in 40mm steel (limited to 5 pieces), and the exclusive Endeavour Minute Repeater Tourbillon in 40mm red gold (each a unique creation). These meticulously crafted masterpieces showcase dials crafted from rare, intensely-hued stones: Burmese jade symbolizing wisdom, luminous pink opal representing creativity, vibrant turquoise representing protection, and rich blue lapis lazuli signifying truth – each presented in H. Moser & Cie’s signature minimalist aesthetic. That means there are no logos or indices to compete with the stones' organic brilliance. This convergence of immaculate horology and artistry doubles down on the brand’s reputation for crafting watches that are both functionally brilliant and artistically expressive.
