Chopard Alpine Eagle Cadence 8Hz (2021)

Case is in 41mm diameter x 9.75mm height; grade 5 titanium with brushed and polished decorations. The watch wears much smaller than the typical 41mm, in fact it feels more like a 40 or even 39mm. Because of the titanium material, it’s also very light, perhaps 50% (my perception) lighter than the Lucent steel brothers. Automatic calibre 01.12-C has 210 components, that beats at an amazing 8Hz frequency or 57,600 BPH. Movement is chronometer-certified by COSC. Power reserve is 60hrs Limited to 250pcs Priced at 19,000CHF

Hermès Arceau Duc Attelé (2024)

Case is in 18k rose gold in 43mm, sapphire crystal with display case back; water resistant to 30m. The watch is one of Hermes’ rare grand complications; an all new hand-wound Calibre H1926, with a central triple-axis tourbillon and a minute repeater, running on a 5Hz balance. The movement is an extensive development by Le Cercle des Horlogers. Technically complicated but also keeping its elegance, emphasizing Hermès’s rich equestrian heritage, the watch dial and movement details nod to the Duc Attelé carriage, marrying technical mastery with thematic elegance. And if you take a deeper look at the movement construction, you can see it mimic a horse and carriage, and when the minute repeater is activated, the horse will move.

Power reserve is 48-hour.
