New case, new movement. The Kubera Series 1 marks the launch of a new collection. Combining a Cubism-inspired sculptural design and its fragmented approach to shape with a mechanical, hand-free time display, this timepiece powered by a self-winding movement features a jumping-hour function along with a peripheral minutes indication. The integrated bracelet elegantly extends the case construction, giving the impression of being carved from a single block of metal.
Manufacture Calibre UN-252 beating at the heart of this timepiece comprises 511 components. It unites the collection’s most iconic mechanisms along with two flying titanium tourbillons, each inclined at a 10-degree angle, rotating in opposite directions and performing one complete revolution every minute. To house this complex and dynamic structure introducing the first seconds display on a Freak model, Ulysse Nardin has designed a new 44mm white gold case for this 50-piece limited edition.
The modern, architectural Pulse model redefines the brand’s classic characteristics. This titanium timepiece combines the iconic onion-shaped crown with a bezel featuring an engraved rim. The left-hand dial side displays a second (travel) time zone, while the right-hand side indicates the home time zone over 12 hours, complementing the central minutes and seconds hands. Subtle light effects play over
the meticulously, hand-guilloché domed dial of this 200-piece edition.
Czapek’s iconic Cosmic Blue is available in a new Antarctique version. The titanium case and bracelet faithfully reflect the collection’s aesthetic codes. Calibre SXH7 powering this timepiece features a carefully orchestrated composition: an inverted escapement ensuring enhanced visibility, an exposed stop-seconds mechanism, along with the extensively openworked mainplate offering a visual immersion into the heart of the movement. The small seconds hand between 4 and 5 o’clock discreetly complements the hours and minutes.
The first model created by the Maison is a timepiece housing Calibre MT 7010 IRM: a skeletonised movement featuring a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock and endowed with a generous seven-day power reserve. In contrast to this technical sophistication, the 44mm case is understated and minimalist, with no lugs or crown. A discreet 3 o’clock pusher activates the time-setting function, while winding is done via the caseback. The watch is available in titanium, tantalum and gold versions complementing this elegant design.
Belonging to a collection of six new models, this steel timepiece features more flowing, natural lines. Its thoroughly reimagined iconic pennants retain their nautical DNA while serving as hour-markers. The meteorite dial offers silvery-grey reflections and the smoked effect concentrates light at the heart of the composition. This model is equipped with the new Calibre CO231 – driven by an oscillating weight visible through the caseback – ensuring a 72-hour power reserve.
The brand revisits one of its historic lines, infusing it with a century of expertise. The finely faceted 39mm case with its clean lines, paired with a matching bracelet, houses a self-winding calibre that is resistant to magnetic fields and Master Chronometer certified. The papyrus-type dial with its vertical-brushed finish is distinguished by “Error-Proof” hour-markers featuring two styles of numerals: Roman from 10 to 2 o’clock and Arabic from 4 to 8 o’clock. A timepiece with an unusual character designed to stand out.
Three bold, tactile and delightfully unconventional new creations pay tribute to Piaget’s iconic Swinging Sautoirs in a stunning blend of jewellery, watchmaking and free-spirited movement. Composed of ornamental stones cut and suspended from a braided gold chain, this trio of pendants is available in tiger’s eye, verdite and pietersite versions. Each pendant is carefully carved from a single slab of stone and then meticulously hollowed out to house the time display.
This exquisite secret cuff model features 18K white gold petals adorned with 105 snow-set brilliant-cut diamonds, complemented by a striking central gemstone. Their design is accentuated by a delicate black lacquer trim. On demand, the black dial displays the time that plays a more discreet role here, transforming this object into a refined piece of jewellery. The flower blooms on an embossed leather bow textured like a grosgrain ribbon, complete with a pin buckle matching the rest of the composition.
