The Art of Time

Each of these timepieces is a masterpiece in its own right

MONTBLANC HERITAGE CHRONOMÉTRIE PERPETUAL CALENDARSAPPHIRE

This stunning timepiece is Montblanc’s interpretation of the perpetual calendar complication, boasting a smoked sapphire dial and a realistic 3-D domed view of the moon from Earth. Look closer and you’ll see that the perpetual calendar indications are featured on transparent counters in a dark blue color, perfectly matching the flange and textured alligator strap. All this is housed in a slim, polished 40 mm steel case, making it the perfect watch for both men and women. www.montblanc.com

OMEGADENIM-INSPIRED RAILMASTER

Omega pays tribute to the Railmaster’s industrial past with a timepiece that features an unconventional material – denim. The fabric, whose history is linked with laborers of the American West, goes hand in hand with the workhorse watch and is complemented with a vertically brushed “blue jeans” dial with indexes and hands that feature a light grey Super-LumiNova. Choose between a stainless steel bracelet or the matching blue denim NATO strap with brown leather details. www.omegawatches.com

PATEKPHILIPPE 6002GSKYMOON TOURBILLON

At first glance, the 6002G Sky Moon Tourbillon already exhibits the highest level of craftsmanship with its white gold case entirely hand-engraved with elegant volutes. The black dial also makes for the perfect base for cloiseonné and champlevé enamel motifs. Beyond its visual artistry, the timepiece boasts a mechanical manually wound movement, a perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand, as well as a chime with two “cathedral” gongs activated by a slide piece in the case. www.patek.com

ZENITHDEFY CLASSIC

With the perfect balance of refinement and sporty elegance, it’s no surprise that Zenith’s DEFY CLASSIC was well received at this year’s Baselworld. While designed for style-conscious urbanites, the timepiece is on the cusp of modern and classic, ensuring seasonal longevity. It’s a powerhouse on the inside, as it features the Manufacture ZENITH automatic Elite 670 base caliber, where to movement oscillates at 4 Hz and offers the wearer over 50 hours of autonomy. www.zenith-watches.com

RADOTRADITION 1965AUTO

Rado looks to the swinging ‘60s for design inspiration and what results is the Tradition 1965 Auto. It’s a hard-to-miss timepiece with an unmistakable geometric design, as well as complementary elements like rectangular hour and minute markets, squared day-date complication window, as well as the iconic Rado red anchor at 9 o’clock. The timepiece’s lightness is credited to the PVD coated titanium, which is lighter than stainless steel, while a supple leather strap and cushion-shaped case back ensures a comfortable wearing experience. www.rado.com
