Our latest selection of watches features the very latest technological advances for highly accurate timekeeping.
Advanced Aquanaut
The Aquanaut ‘Patek Philippe Advanced Research’ in 18K white gold is available in a limited edition of 500 watches featuring the latest technical advances. Launched over 15 years ago, the Patek Philippe Advanced Research program stands out with two major innovations.
The first one is the Spiromax balance spring with a new geometry that in addition to the outer boss, now also has a boss at the inner end. The second innovation relates to compliant (flexible) mechanisms made of steel. The result is a time-zone setting mechanism that reduces the number of parts from 37 to just 12.

Treading lightly
Devon’s Tread 1 is ideal for the watch enthusiast with a passion for innovation and ingenuity. At its heart is an on-board microprocessor, essentially a tiny computer, that controls all of
the watch’s functions. It gathers data from a temperature-compensated crystal and a proprietary optical recognition system, which continuously monitors and verifies the position of the Time Belts, ensuring accuracy to within one half-second per day.
£29,326 / €33,130 / $39,800 for the gold version shown above.

This blue-clad model is distinguished by its Manufacture Breitling Caliber B04 with second time zone system. Simply turning the crown is enough to set the main hours hand to local time, with automatic adjustment of the date. Meanwhile, the red-tipped hand keeps track of home time in 24-hour mode. The rotating bezel in high-tech ceramic reads off a third time zone, also on a 24-hour scale.

Artistry in bloom
Graff’s new Floral Tourbillon is a collection of watches adorned with flowers that rotate on themselves alongside softly rounded hands. The enamel flowers are created using an ancient process, resulting in a colour that is exclusive to each individual watch. Once the colours have been perfected by the artist, a dial can take up
to 50 hours to complete.

Made from Mustangs
This watch has been crafted from components previously used in classic Ford Mustangs. Each finished design incorporates the vehicle identification number, year of production and classic Mustang design cues. A power dial designed to look like a fuel gauge shows remaining battery life, while the hands, date, and dial numbers are all influenced by the iconic car’s dashboard. A rare 1966 Raven Black model has become the basis for their limited edition P51-04 collection of 250 watches.
