A step aside

Boring, the masters of time? No, reply the watchmakers in unison, who unveil whimsical or quirky timepieces, perfect for disconnecting during the holidays.

1- Louis Vuitton

Arty

La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton shakes things up with the Tambour Taiko Arty Automata, which explores colour and movement by combining the poetry of the clockwork automaton and Grand Feu enamel.

2- Franck Muller

Kawai

When the world of Swiss haute horlogerie meets that of the world's most famous cat, sparks fly! The Cintrée Curvex watch takes on a new look by inviting Hello Kitty, an icon of Japanese pop culture, onto its dial.

3- Chanel

In the game

At the heart of this year's capsule collection, Coco Game, the star is a pixelated Mademoiselle, who appears on the brand's iconic cases, such as, here, the J12.

4- Rado

Architectural

The Swiss watchmaker pays tribute to the master of modernism with the True Round x Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier® Special Edition. Three high-tech ceramic watches celebrate his visionary audacity through three of his iconic achievements: the Cité Radieuse in Marseille, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard, and the Palace of Assembly in India.

5- Hublot

Under the sun

It was under the Saint-Tropez sun that Hublot unveiled its Big Bang Summer collection. Sky blue, mint green and marshmallow pink… These pastel ceramic marvels continue a seasonal narrative initiated by the manufacture in 2017, which each year draws inspiration from the Mediterranean lifestyle to renew its collections.

Founded in 1987, Les Éditions COTE is the result of a family adventure spanning over 39 years. The magazines, dedicated to the art of living and luxury in Provence and the Côte d'Azur, showcase the region and its key players.
