Exciting Releases from Major Brands
January kicked off the year with a splash, featuring exciting releases from Omega, Atelier Wen, Toledano & Chan, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co. The highlight of January was undoubtedly LVMH Watch Week, which set the stage for the year’s upcoming watch debuts. February continued this momentum with the Audemars Piguet Social Club and various other brand events attended by our Fratello team. Now, let’s explore the standout releases from this bustling second month!
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Openworked
First on our list is the stunning Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Openworked. Unveiled at Audemars Piguet’s Social Club, this piece features the exceptional new caliber 7139, which allows for easy adjustment of the perpetual calendar directly through the crown. The openworked design adds a visual feast, showcasing the intricate movement and artistry that the Royal Oak is known for.
A Remarkable Combination of Materials
This model features a case crafted from lightweight titanium and Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), which is a unique alloy that exhibits exceptional durability and a striking reflective sheen. The 41mm case might seem sizable, but its slim 9.5mm profile makes it comfortable to wear. This masterpiece is beautifully framed with black accents that enhance its elegance.
Citizen × seconde/seconde/ Tsuyosa Limited Edition
Next up is the Citizen × seconde/seconde/ Tsuyosa Limited Edition. This playful watch, designed by Romaric André of seconde/seconde/, translates the Japanese word tsuyosa (meaning “strength”) into a vibrant blue dial adorned with a katana-shaped minute hand that playfully “slices” through the hour markers. Not only fun but also affordable, this limited edition is a delightful addition to any collection!
