DAVOSA – Reference 161.005.15
A skeleton watch for the budget conscious, this classically styled winner shows that scoring a sound openwork timepiece need
not necessarily entail breaking the bank.
Framed by an unfettered stainless steel case and black crocodile graining calfskin leather strap, its automatic Swiss-made movement bares its mechanical intricacies that flaunt refined embellishments like blued screws, rhodium plating and perlage finishing.
Its smart appearance aside, this refined timepiece does not skimp on functionality with its water resistance of 500m as well as SuperLuminova coated hands and indexes for optimal readability. Limited to 500 pieces.
DE GRASCDSONO – Occhio Ripetizione Minuti
The Occhio Ripetizione Minuti from 2005, famous for its camera shutter-like aperture dial that reveals its movement when the minute repeater mechanism is activated, returns with a glitzier redux version.
Courting a new generation of moneyed moguls is a spectacular diamond- encrusted variant featuring baguette-cut stones (totaling 18ct) that encircle the dial, pave the case flanks and embellish the lugs.
Glitz aside, the Occhio’s aforementioned signature calling cards reprise their roles on both the case architecture and the hand- winding movement designed in collaboration with Christophe Claret.
Aficionados can pause to admire the action of the hammers and gongs through the sapphire case back, which also showcases the movement’s finely polished screws and meticulous finishing on the anthracite grey bridges and plates. Available in matte blackened 18K white gold with black alligator strap.
ORIS – Bob Dylan Limited Edition
There is little to add on to Bob Dylan’s statuesque pop-star status, but Swiss manufacturer ORIS has taken on the gargantuan
task of paying tribute to the master songwriter with its Bob Dylan Limited Edition watch. And we have to say, it doesn’t disappoint.
Powered by an automatic ORIS 733 movement and channeling Dylan’s perennial classicism, this timepiece features a stylish stainless steel rectangular case and a plain black leather strap that transcends time and trends, much like the man himself. A swirly patterned dial harks back to the vibrant pop art scene that dominated the 1960s along with Dylan’s then-rising musical star.

And for those who are seeking a more tangible portrayal of Dylan, the watch bears an image of him on the case back as well as his signature on the dial. Shielding the watch on both sides is a sapphire glass that wraps around it coupled with an inner and outer anti-reflective coating.
Limited to 3,000 pieces and presented in an exclusive box set with Dylan’s wind instrument of choice, a Hohner Marine Band harmonica, this timeless watch is the perfect tag-along for any fan worth his salt.
ARMAND NICOLET – L08 Diamonds
Like a constellation of stars illuminating the night sky, the tasteful smattering of 74 Top Wesselton brilliant diamonds (totaling
1ct) on the bezel of the L08 uplifts its jet- black guilloche dial. Their shimmer and sparkle highlight the dial’s strategic openings, which provide enticing glimpses of Armand Nicolet’s manual winding calibre, the UT600 which is fashioned from a vintage calibre, the circa-1957 AN0711A.
The refurbished movement, revved up with Incabloc shock absorbers and swan neck regulators, is exposed partially on an open- worked dial showing its balance, lever, time-setting and winding systems, as well as exquisite Cote de Genève and Perlage finishing on rhodium-plated plates and bridges. Limited to 50 pieces in stainless steel with an alligator strap.
Non-bejeweled versions are also available in limited editions of 150 pieces in steel with silvered dial; 150 pieces in steel with black dial; and 150 pieces in steel with 18K rose gold crown and bezel, and grey dial.
