The TORIC Petite Seconde
Parmigiani

Parmigiani Fleurier, a respected Swiss manufacturer celebrated for an authoritative voice and unrelenting dedication to premium craftsmanship, has once again etched its signature upon time itself. Innovation thrives here as the brand releases its latest piece de resistance: two new iterations of the Toric Petite Seconde — each one a testament to visionary execution primed for the wrists of the discerning world.

Launching in September 2025, these timepieces represent a conscientious evolution of the dress watch, skillfully merging the Parmigiani’s dedication to heritage with a refined and modern sensibility. This is not a watch designed for a boisterous display, but rather a quiet yet assured elegance intended for those who value subtlety over mere appearance.

A case study in architectural integrity and organic tones

The new Toric Petite Seconde is an architectural marvel, boasting an intricately balanced architecture and dial tones drawn from the natural world. The case measures a sleekly proportioned 40.6mm with a svelte 8.8mm profile, is a masterpiece of ergonomic design, ensuring the ultimate wearing comfort that slips effortlessly under the cuff of a tailored suit. The iconic fluted bezel takes inspiration from nobility with its Doric columns, providing a tactile and visual texture that dances in the light. The new timepieces feature dials in Platinum Golden Hour and Rose Gold Dune, colors evoking a calm, transitional moment in nature. Other notable touches include applied gold indices and a delicate petite seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, creating a legible display that exudes refined sophistication.

Horological excellence powered by in-house mastery

The Toric Petite Seconde is powered by a movement that doubles down on Parmigiani Fleurier’s deep commitment to technical excellence. The self-winding Calibre PF780 movement is in-house and intricately finished to the highest standards, featuring a sweeping oscillating weight and exquisite anglage on the bridges. All of this coordinated dance can be easily viewed through the sapphire crystal caseback, and with 60-hour power reserve, consistent performance and efficiency is assured. The end result is a masterful merger of technical brilliance and aesthetic refinement – a design meant to be worn and cherished as a modern heirloom.

Parmigiani brings a new iteration of refined elegance to discerning collectors

With the latest new interpretation of the Toric Petite Seconde, Parmigiani Fleurier has successfully liberated the dress watch to offer a softer, more meaningful expression of luxury. For the collector in search of a timepiece that beats with an intensity and exceptional purity, the new Toric stands as a compelling, sophisticated choice to consider.

Maurice Lacroix goes carbon with new AIKONIC collection
Maurice Lacroix Unveils Carbon-Powered AIKONIC Series
Maurice Lacroix released the AIKON

Maurice Lacroix has launched the AIKONIC collection, an evolved version of its popular AIKON series that incorporates advanced materials and manufacturing techniques.
Crafted at the company's Saignelégier facility in the Swiss Jura, the AIKONIC represents the pinnacle of AIKON design while retaining the distinctive six broad bezel arms from the original 2016 model.
The carbon dial sets this watch apart from competitors. Rather than using traditional interwoven patterns, the AIKONIC employs carbon fibers arranged in parallel lines running vertically. This creates distinctive grey and black striping, with slight variations in fiber placement making each dial unique during production. Maurice Lacroix collaborated with a specialist firm located 40 kilometers from their facility to develop these dials, demonstrating local Swiss partnerships typically reserved for luxury timepieces.
The timepiece features a steel case combining brushed and polished finishes, with angled edges that interact dynamically with light. The crown and bezel utilize matte ceramic construction for scratch resistance and color stability, while an enhanced sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both surfaces improves readability and salt water durability.
The AIKONIC introduces Maurice Lacroix's patented ML Easy Change system, enabling strap removal without tools. The central bracelet links rotate at their case connection points, allowing clean separation and secure reinstallation.
Maurice Lacroix partnered with Soprod, a movement specialist located 10 kilometers away, to create the ML1000 caliber exclusively for this collection. The automatic movement showcases a large openworked rotor, blued screws, perlage finishing, and Côtes de Genève decoration. The caliber maintains accuracy within ±4 seconds daily and provides 60 hours of power reserve, viewable through an exhibition caseback.
The AIKONIC collection features a 43mm case across five configurations. Three models sport black ceramic bezels: an all-black version with DLC-coated titanium case, a black variant with steel case, and a steel model featuring bright blue accents on the strap, hands and hour markers. A fourth steel option pairs a blue ceramic bezel with matching blue strap, while the fifth combines a white ceramic bezel with a black and white rubber strap. Steel models are priced at $3,400, with the titanium version at $3,700. Find out more here.

Why these 7 watches are smart style statements
Businessman checking time on his wristwatch. men's hand with a watch.

Owning a luxury watch is an investment often stemming from a passion for horology and a smart financial move. The right watch can significantly appreciate over time to become a wearable asset and ultimately a family heirloom. Despite these grand prospects, not every watch has this benefit, as some depreciate rapidly or lack demand from avid collectors.

According to the CEO and co-founder of Bezel, Quaid Walker, "Watches are made to be worn, so always choose a watch that you love, versus selecting a watch purely as a speculative investment. The market tends to favor the iconic brands due to high demand, limited supply, and brand prestige, but none of that matters if you don’t enjoy wearing it."
