Biver has yet again gone above and beyond to release a timepiece that perfectly melds functionality and artistry in its singular Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose. An exceptional watch that recalibrates the luxury watch market, it features rose gold, mother-of-pearl, and rubies in a great union of stunning craftsmanship. 

A parade of precious metals

A beautiful 18K rose gold case and bracelet act as a gorgeous backdrop to the piece de resistance: a mother-of-pearl dial that glows like gleaming sunlight. Draping this canvas are ruby hour markers that gleam as their scarlet color is intensified by the guilloché center’s intricate textures. With more than five decades in the business, the Biver family’s reputation of crafting immaculate timepieces is well known by watch enthusiasts — each detail has been intricately crafted to create a visual ambiance, which is evident from the faceted bracelet to the symmetrical layout.

The technical and artistic ambiance converge 

Underneath the surface of its beautiful exterior lies mechanical features that are just as impressive. The platinum micro-rotor Caliber JCB-001-B ensures precision timekeeping with a 3Hz frequency and 72-hour power reserve, visible through the anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Biver’s reputation for technical excellence is second to none, and the tourbillon complication is presented with elegant restraint, allowing the materials to stand out.

The Biver guarantee

Currently retailing for $670,000, each Carillon Tourbillon Desert Rose comes with a 4-year warranty and the prestigious JCB seal, certifying the highest standards of Swiss watchmaking. With a water resistance of up to 50 meters, this timepiece is wearable art and a celebration of beauty and human ingenuity.

The Traditionnelle Tourbillon in dark blue.

Vacheron Constantin is currently the world’s oldest continuously operating watch manufacturer with 270 years dedicated to the fine art of timekeeping. To commemorate their anniversary, the Geneva-based house has recently released a collection at Watches and Wonders 2025 that pays homage to the brand’s distinct heritage and showcases their technical mastery of complicated watches. These latest timepieces are sure to excite both watch collectors and connoisseurs. 
Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication

At the heart of the new collection is the Les Cabinotiers Solaria Ultra Grand Complication, a watch that expands the possibilities of what is possible in horology. A white gold masterpiece, it contains 41 complications and 13 patents within its 45mm case and is the result of more than eight years of intricate design. Considered the most complex wristwatch ever made, the Solaria has a double-sided display with celestial indications, a Westminster minute repeater with seven patent-protected innovations, and a sunrise/sunset tracker based on the wearer’s geographic coordinates. On the front dial are sapphire discs that display moonphases, tides, and the zodiac signs, with the caseback revealing sidereal time and the constellations. Despite the intricate features, the movement remains elegant at only 15.6mm thick, further proof of Vacheron Constantin’s technical mastery.
