The latest Ulysse Nardin watch, the Blast x Amoureuxpeintre, is characterized by a simple and artistic design, which is quite stylish. This is no surprise given that the collaborator, Amoureuxpeintre, is a designer known for minimalism. Thanks to the grey and white background, this new watch redefines modern design and takes it to a new level. This is the perfect definition of less is more.

It has that modern, contemporary, and minimalistic look that’s often highlighted by dull and bright colors. While this new timepiece is inspired by the Blast Skeleton X, the front is quite different from the one featured on the Blast Skeleton X. However, a few details, such as the caliber’s profile, might give you a hint of the model the new watch is based on.

Since the Nardin Blast x Amoureuxpeintre watch comes with a translucent dial, the mechanism is hidden in plain sight. Some sections have a dark shadow-like appearance that adds to the look. And the good thing is that the shadow-like appearance might change under different lighting conditions.

To complement the hues featured on the dial, this timepiece is equipped with a black titanium casing that blends smoothly with other components. Every single component, from the strap to the dial, was inspired by the same color palette.

When it comes to the overall performance, the watch runs on the Nardin UN-171 caliber, a high-end movement that delivers a 96-hour power reserve to boost the watch’s efficiency and precision.

As a limited edition timepiece, only 29 pieces of the Ulysse Nardin Blast x Amoureuxpeintre will be rolled out into the market. It costs $32,700.

The De Bethune x Swizz Beatz partnership dates back to 2020 and was initiated by rapper and record producer Kasseem Daoud Dean, aka Swizz Beatz. He was looking for a brand that could manufacture a minimalistic piece with a modern touch, something that could tap into both worlds but still look stylish. The first collaboration, the DW5, was highlighted by a minimalistic skeleton design complemented by a contemporary finish.

Since the first model was quite successful, the pairing worked on another piece—the DBD. Now, De Bethune and Swizz Beatz are back at it again with another new piece, the Reversible DB Kind of Two GMT, which features two different dials designed to track time in two geographical zones. While the front face has the main dial, the back doubles as the second dial.

Phillips, in association with Bacs & Russo, revealed prominent pieces for its upcoming Geneva Watch Auction: XXI. It is scheduled for May 10-11, 2025.

Among them are a few remarkable watches -- they now hold much appeal for serious collectors.

The auction's headline is the sole known Patek Philippe Reference 3448 in pink gold. This exceptional discovery denotes one of the most remarkable finds in current vintage timepiece acquisition. Between 1962 and 1981, they mainly made this automatic perpetual calendar using yellow gold and white gold. Because it lacked prior documentation in this valuable metal, it has a lot of potential to break records. This watch is from 1968.
