Piaget

Double complication

The brand that astounds watchmaking experts with its flat watches presents its latest creation, the Polo Perpétuelle Extraleganza. This 8.65 mm-thick timepiece features a perpetual calendar and moon phase display. A stunning piece with an emerald green dial!

Chopard

Sport-chic

Chopard’s Alpine Eagle 41 XPS is a flat timepiece measuring barely 8 mm thick. A self-winding L.U.C calibre chronometer-certified watch with small seconds. Its galvanized “Monte Rosa Pink” dial adds the finishing touch.

Bulgari

Record-breaking star

The Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8-day watch plays on the contrasts between its 40 mm casing in 18-carat rose gold and the transparency of its dial, revealing its inner workings and power reserve. This hand-wound watch measures just 5.95 mm.
