Unconventional
A tribute to brutalism and one of the asymmetrical watches created by the manufacturer in 1960, the [RE] Master02 automatic, in a limited edition of 250 pieces, features an asymmetrical rectangular case in sand gold, a new gold tone and a fragmented “Night Blue, Cloud 50” dial.

Let the music play
The iconic watch is setting out to conquer new generations. Connected to the present moment, the Première Sound is a necklace equipped with a watch and wired earphones.

flashy
The Swiss manufacturer and contemporary artist Felipe Pantone are writing the third chapter of their collaboration with a special edition of the Defy Skyline Tourbillon. The result? An explosion of color and optical complexity. Limited to 100 pieces.

Arty
Issued in a limited edition of 99 pieces, the Turbine Splash takes its name from the splashes of colored paint that appear on the lower dial. It's a nod to Jackson Pollock's art of "dripping" and his action painting performances, when the artist threw paint onto canvases with impetuous, choreographic gestures.

Back to the Future
Born from a partnership with contemporary artist Daniel Arsham, the Arsham Droplet propels the pocket watch into the future. Transformable into a pendant or table clock, it is crafted from a blend of titanium, rubber, and sapphire crystal.
