DARK HORSE

The latest watch from Zenith, the Chronomaster Revival “Shadow,” blends the very best of two vintage models. It’s a revival of a 1970s chronograph that never was, which was proposed by Zenith during the early days of the first automatic chronograph movements. Although some prototypes were made, this retro model wasn’t even allocated a reference number. The new chronograph also comes with the same angular case shape that was designed for Zenith’s original El Primero Ref A384, which debuted in 1969. Shadow’s black case is made from microblasted titanium. Extremely lightweight, wear with a rubber strap.

For its second collaboration with French artist Marc Ferrero—who celebrates the strength of 21stcentury women with his signature lipstick emblem paintings—hublot has released two limitededition Big Bang models that come in black ceramic or polished steel. “I love the power of black and white. Shade and light. Yin and yang,” says the artist. “These colours also make my red lipstick design look even more graphic and magnetic.”

Named after a class of racing yachts, Chanel’s iconic J12 collection has been around since 2000 and over the last two decades has spearheaded the watch industry’s ceramic boom. To celebrate the line’s 20th anniversary, the brand has added three new watches to its already impressive roster, which includes the luxurious Paradoxe Diamonds. This timepiece boasts an instantly recognisable and striking two-tone case that’s two thirds black ceramic and one third smothered in baguette-cut diamonds. It’s uberextravagant as well as sleek and sophisticated; you’ll struggle to find a snazzier wristwatch. But hurry: there are only 20 worldwide.
