HYT Launches Its All-New Conical Tourbillon Panda Watch, ...

When it comes to luxury watches that showcase ingenious designs best described as "out of this world," the haute horologists at HYT stand out as innovators in an industry that holds strong beliefs in the traditional art of watchmaking. Pushing the boundaries of both design and technology with an attention-grabbing appearance, HYT's Conical Tourbillon utilizes its complex movement as the main focal point of the watch while its functions surround the rotating mechanism. HYT is excited to launch its exclusive Conical Tourbillion Panda as the newest addition to its lineup of limited-edition examples. Like the Ying and the Yang, the Conical Tourbillon Panda features a contrasting design that combines white agate gemstones with deep black finishes.  The Conical Tourbillon is housed in an ultra-lightweight white ceramic-coated titanium case with a domed crystal sapphire and white ceramic titanium side grilles and frame, all working together to provide impressive 30-meter water resistance. Underneath the domed sapphire lies a dial design centered around the expert craftsmanship and state-of-the-art movement technology of HYT's rotating tourbillon. It completes a full clockwise rotation in 30 seconds, marked by white ceramic spheres in different sizes. Hour and minute indicators wrap around the dial's outer ring and come finished in the same white and black finish for easy readability. A transparent sapphire backcase offers an up-close, secondary view of the movement in action. At the same time, the outer case displays commemorative engravings, signifying the ultra-limited series of only eight watches. With everyday wear in mind, HYT fitted the Conical Tourbillon Panda on a comfortable white rubber strap with a black DLC titanium buckle. Limited to only eight watches worldwide, the all-new HYT Conical Tourbillon Panda is now available through authorized dealers with a price tag of CHF 355,000 (EXCL. TAXES) ($366,567).

Accutron, always considered more than just a watch, is an epic, omnipresent component of American popular culture. The revival in 2020 of such an iconic brand is familiar to La Palina cigars, which in 2010 was restarted by the original founder’s grandson, Bill Paley, following his grandfather’s dedication to cigar-making excellence. Today, La Palina produces highly-rated premium and ultra-premium handmade cigars, offering a meritage of the finest aged tobacco leaves selected and blended by master artisans, symbolic of the originals.  Discover The Accutron x La Palina Spaceview Returning to their earliest days, La Palina and Accutron share countless values as authentic American heritage lifestyle brands with reputations for unsurpassed innovation and quality. With so much in common, the two brands launched the 222-piece limited edition Spaceview 2020 x La Palina Luxury Set featuring a timepiece and humidor, following a long-standing tradition of cigar-inspired wristwatches dating all the way back to 1932. Recreating the stunning visual impact of the original open dial design with the exact same signature green accents, the Accutron Spaceview 2020 x La Palina timepiece boasts a brown open-work dial with signature Accutron green accents and brown outer ring, light green super luminous markers, hour and minute hands and warm yellow second hand and is finished on a matching genuine brown alligator strap.

Selected by La Palina’s rare wood specialists and chosen for its exceptional figure and grain, all of the cedar was sustainably harvested from forests in Nueva Segovia, then slowly aged for ten years, giving the wood ample time to set. Each humidor holds a minimum of 50 cigars and includes an independent climate top with La Palina’s “ultimate perfect” seal to maintain ideal humidity.  Discover The Accutron x La Palina Spaceview Source: Accutron

Sylvester Stallone Partners With Sotheby's To Auction Off...

No stranger to the world of haute horology and watch collecting, American actor Sylvester Stallone has accumulated quite an impressive lineup of personal timepieces over his decades of success in the entertainment industry. From movie-worn Richard Milles to special edition Panerai models, Stallone's diversity alone critically acclaims him as one of the greatest modern-day watch collectors. What's even more impressive than the watches themselves, is his ability to part ways with them after getting having a fair share of wrist time with each. It's a process that we are all familiar with after Sly auctioned off some of his watches in 2020, which included a rare Richard Mille RM 52-01 'Skull' that sold for a whopping $998,000.  Today, Sylvester Stallone is partnering with the luxury auction specialists at Sotheby's to unload another lot of personally-owned watches. While the list of lots includes some of the most iconic watches ever made, the star of the show takes shape as a factory-sealed 2021 Patek Philippe Reference 6300G-010 Grand Master Chime with over 20 complications. In addition to owning a brand-new version of one of Patek Philippe's most coveted models, the future buyer will also receive a presentation box laser-etched with "Mr. Sylvester Stallone." Even at the Grand Master Chime's already expensive $2M-$3M retail price, Sotheby's estimates that Sly's may sell for upwards of $5,000,000.  But it doesn't stop there. The auction lot also features examples of other popular watches like the Rolex Day-Date 40, Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon 50th Anniversary, Piaget Polo Grande, and Cartier Pasha. A handful of classic and modern Panerai models make up most of the collection, a watch brand symbolized by Sylvester Stallone and his roles in action-packed movies. As we wait to hear more specifics on the upcoming auction event, there's no doubt that Sotheby's Property From The Collection Of Sylvester Stallone is sure to draw out some of the industry's most prominent collectors for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

H. Moser x Alpine F1 Kick Off Miami GP Weekend With A New...

Establishing a fuel-driven partnership in a rather non-conventional way, the haute horologists at H. Moser & Cie. were approached by Alpine F1 to engineer a timepiece that perfectly balances luxury and performance. The result of this mastermind plan takes shape as the first Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine Limited Edition, which debuted a couple of weeks ago in a vibrant blue colorway. In celebration of Formula 1 taking over sunny South Florida for the 3rd annual Miami Grand Prix, H. Moser x Alpine F1 is proud to present an exclusive new pink Streamliner Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine that gives off serious South Beach vibes. The signature bright, vivid pink from BWT, is designed to catch eyes around every turn. What makes it even more special? Only 20 pieces are up for grabs, making this a true collector's item for both watch collectors and Formula 1 race fans. This special edition Streamliner Tourbillon stands out with a skeletonized dial at 12 o'clock, crowned with a dome-shaped synthetic corundum dial that mirrors the curvature of its sapphire crystal. The synthetic ruby is an ultra-clear, intensely-hued gem that elevates the look to a whole new level. The Streamliner comes packed with high-performance features like Super-Luminova indices and Globolight inserts on the hands for unbeatable night-time legibility. Comfort meets high fashion in its pink molded rubber strap that mimics a classy textile finish, which looks just as good as it feels on your wrist. Ticking inside is the meticulously skeletonized automatic in-house HMC 811 movement, visible from both sides of the watch. The highlight is its spectacular one-minute flying tourbillon with a cylindrical balance spring that’s become a rarity in modern watchmaking. Along with the limited series, an additional unique piece will be auctioned with all proceeds going to AQUA PEARLS, a charity focused on providing clean drinking water globally. Make sure to tune into the 2024 Miami GP this weekend to see what color Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine team driver Pierre Gasly will be wearing on his wrist. The all-new pink version of the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine is now available at H. Moser & Cie. boutiques worldwide with a price tag of $98,000.
