1. Breitling Top Time Triumph
1 / 1
Breitling collaborates with British motorcycle brand Triumph on this new Top Time chronograph that features a very handsome ice-blue dial. Measuring 41mm in diameter, the stainless steel case houses a COSC-certified automatic movement, a racing calf leather strap completes the cross country-ready look.

Adding cherry on the cake, Breitling has also co-designed a complementary motorcycle the Speed Twin Breitling Limited Edition that comes with the same blue shade that appears on the watch dial. The bike's speed and RPM gauges take styling cues from Top Time Triumph dial design. The owner of the bike will also receive a special edition Top Time Triumph with a sunray dial and engraved caseback featuring the individual number of the bike. Only 270 of these bikes will be produced.

2. Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin Ladies
1 / 2
Boasting Chopard's first manufacture automatic movement with a flying tourbillon, the new L.U.C Flying T Twin is interpreted in an 18k rose gold 35mm case with diamond-set bezel and crown, as well as a mother-of-pearl dial. But the watch's real brilliance is how Chopard has succeeded in packing two barrels and the tourbillon, visible via an opening at 6 o'clock, into such small movement. The 96.24-L calibre is only 3.30 mm thick but has an amazing 65-hour power reserve.

3. Zenith Defy Revival A3642
1 / 1
If you fancy a retro touch on your wrist, this octagonal Zenith watch may be right up your alley. Introduced at the LVMH Watch Week, it is a faithful replication of the 1969 original, from the unique shape of the case and the 'ladder' bracelet designed by Gay Frères, to the warm grey dial with gradient effect and sword-shaped hour and minute hands, accompanied by a paddle-shaped seconds hand.
But it's not all vintage—cosmetically, it is now adorned with sapphire crystal complete with a display caseback. The movement has also been updated with the automatic Elite 670 movement.
4. Piaget Polo Skeleton
1 / 1
A feat in ultra-thin watchmaking, the Piaget Polo Skeleton has one of the thinnest movements, the 1200S1 that is only 2.4mm in height. Despite its slender frame, it is endowed with 44 hours of power reserve and is water-resistant up to 30m. To showcase its skinny yet mighty prowess is its 42mm case and bracelet set with no less than 1746 brilliant-cut diamonds that bring forth Piaget's remarkable gem-setting skill.
5. Longines Legend Diver
1 / 1
Longines has released a new size for its Legend Diver, a 36mm. It stands out for its vivid burgundy dial with matching fabric strap.

1 / 1
