When Classic Luxury Watch Meets Modernistic Watch

Patek Philippe  Ref. 5207

Patek Philippe present new grand complication: R TO 27 PS QI calibre, minute repeater with tourbillon escapement

Patek Philippe presented a new grand complication, Ref. 5207, in platinum with a minute repeater, tourbillon and instant perpetual calendar with original windows, for which two patents are pending. The instant changing of all the date displays is a supplementary complication comprising 212 interacting components. This new exploit took more than five years to develop and is one of the brand’s most complicated wristwatches. Only a few will be produced each year.

De Grisogono Otturatore

De Grisogono defies the fundamentals of watchmaking with the launching of its Otturatore, a timepiece combining audacity, refinement and modernism. Its mobile dial features a sequential display of seconds, date, moon phases and power reserve, with 3 of them always concealed. By a simple manipulation, the sequential mechanism can be displaced by 90° in a few tenths of a millisecond, a speed guaranteed to turn the world of complicated watches upside down.
