The three-dimensional dial with Perrelet’s signature 12-blade turbine is the undisputed heavyweight feature of this model, with the complication rotating with every wrist movement to reveal sundial in vibrant shades of electric blue, grass green, and light gray. Luminescent markers and hands make legibility a breeze, and the chronograph’s central hand with Super-Luminova tip ensures precise time measurement.

The Blast Free Wheel Maillechort

Ulysse Nardin continues to expand the boundaries of horology with the release of its new Blast Free Wheel Maillechort, a luxury watch that strips watchmaking to its artistic core. The standout component of this timepiece is its skeletonized movement, crafted from maillechort — a nickel-copper-zinc alloy revered for its silver-like luster and anti-corrosive properties. Used primarily in 19th-century marine chronometers, this rare material produces a distinctive gray hue that evolves under exposure to light. The 45mm case alternates between polished and micro-blasted surfaces to create a dynamic interplay of textures accentuating the architectural movement within.

Parmigiani Fleurier Summer-Inspired Tonda PF Sport Chronograph

Parmigiani Fleurier has unveiled the Tonda PF Sport Chronograph Rose Gold Sandstone, a timepiece that merges technical mastery with the understated elegance of Mediterranean summer living. The watch invites wearers to experience time not merely as measurement, but as moments of serene escape.
At the heart of the timepiece beats the high-frequency PF070 calibre, a COSC-certified integrated chronograph movement operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour. Engineered for flawless short-time measurement, the movement offers a 65-hour power reserve driven by a skeletonized 22-carat rose gold oscillating weight, ensuring both precision and visual appeal.
The 18-carat rose gold case features alternating satin-brushed and polished finishes that play delicately with light. The silver guilloché dial, punctuated by sand-toned sub-dials, evokes the warmth of sunlit southern shores. The "Sandstone" designation reflects both color and emotion, capturing the contemplative calm of long summer afternoons along the Mare Nostrum, from Sicily to the Mediterranean islands.
A defining feature is the distinctive Tufo-colored rubber strap, inspired by the pale volcanic stone found throughout Mediterranean landscapes. The strap is textured to evoke the appearance and feel of Cordura, a technical fabric prized for its durability and refined structure. With its corduroy-like tactility and saddle-style stitching, the strap blends resilience with artisanal finesse.
"The Tonda PF Sport Chronograph in rose gold sandstone reflects our pursuit of essential beauty in watchmaking," said Guido Terreni, CEO of Parmigiani Fleurier. "It merges mechanical excellence, through a high-frequency chronograph calibre, with the informal elegance of a summer lifestyle."
The watch's dial showcases Parmigiani Fleurier's expertise in guilloché craftsmanship, featuring the distinctive Triangular Nail pattern that enhances light reflection. Hand-applied 18-carat rose gold appliques with black luminescent coating ensure optimal legibility, while the overall design maintains the relaxed sophistication that defines the Tonda PF Sport collection.
