Chanel has unveiled a 55-piece version of its Monsieur watch, which made headlines in 2016 for being the brand’s first dedicated men’s watch and the first timepiece to be powered by the house’s first in-house movement: the manually wound Calibre 1.

A jumping hour watch, which means it indicates the hour by numerals on an instantaneously jumping disk rather than a traditional hand, this new timepiece comes with a white-veined black marble dial, which is housed in a matte black ceramic case. Get yours with an alligator-pattern calfskin strap for US$38,280.

The most emblematic IWC Schaffhausen collection is, without doubt, its Pilot’s Watch. The brand’s latest edition, the Big Pilot’s Watch Constant-Force Tourbillon Edition IWC Racing, abandons the line’s aviation roots and, instead, takes inspiration from the world of motorsports. Stunningly sleek, its all-black Ceratanium case is exceedingly sporty and modern. Meanwhile, the asymmetrical, off-centre dial is elevated with pops of yellow, as is the rubber strap with Alcantara inlay.

Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Skelet-One Tourbillon

Housed in a rose-gold 41mm case, the Grande Seconde Skelet-One Tourbillon is visually similar to Jaquet Droz’s Grande Seconde Skelet-One. This latest ticker, however, comes with a tourbillon, which is a mechanical complication that was invented during the era of the pocket watch to improve a timepiece’s accuracy. Two open-worked sub-dials contrast against the skeletonised movement’s matt black bridges, making this watch exceptionally elegant. Although no number has been announced, it’s likely this watch will be a limited edition so, if you want to add one to your collection, you’ll have to act fast.

François-Paul Journe quickly rose to fame in the competitive watch industry and, for the first time, the legendary watchmaker has signed off on the sale of each and every one of the 99 pieces of his latest creation, which has been launched to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2001 Octa Automatic watch. Journe’s decision was fuelled by his desire for the Octa Automatique 20th Anniversaries to go to appreciative collectors, rather than those looking to flip watches for a quick profit. The series comes with satin-finish 18-karat yellow-gold dials, which are housed in 40mm platinum cases.
