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.
Quattro Valvole
Quattro Valvole is a wristwatch born of an intuition, to produce a prestigious object based on the idea of a four-phase engine piston — the pulsing heart of the best competition racing cars. The watch is a mixture of motor engineering and personality, which unites the worlds of automobiles with luxury watches. 
The Quattro Valvole not only draws the spirit that animates it from the world of racetracks, but also its design and the essential components of the case and finishing. Thus, Meccaniche Veloci has created this special wristwatch, which is synonymous with exclusiveness, elegance and a piquant personality.
LEONARD – Atom Lady Jumping Hours
The jumping hours mechanism extolled by Leonard‘s latest coup will surely send gizmo – loving girls into a frenzy. Animated by a Dubois? Depraz 14400 automatic movement, the complication debuted in a men’s watch three years ago.
The original has been refinished to attract a new demographic, and now flaunts a case in white ceramic with a contrasting pink gold bezel lit by 52 diamonds (1.3 carats). The dial also exhibits this play of contrasts, with alternating sections in black and white mother-of-pearl. Its pleasing symmetry, well-proportioned elements and lustrous finish add to the winsome quality of this dedicated all-rounder. A chic white satin strap completes the watch.
And as with all Piaget Manufacture movements, the 830P is decorated to the hilt. Circular Geneva stripes, circular-grained parts, beveled bridges and blued screws compete for the wearer’s attention through the sapphire case back. In 18K pink gold with a white alligator strap.
ZIENBTH – Moonphase Lady
For the past few years, Zenith has charmed its way into many a lady’s heart. The Marque’s four flagship women’s collections – Star Sea, Star Love, Star Rock and Starissime.
Each collection dished out personality in spades: You could choose to be a beach bunny (Star Sea) one day and glam rock goddess (Star Rock) the next, indulge your inner princess (Star Love) or live the life of a high-society maven (Starissime).
This year, country club kittens get their share of the limelight: the Chrono Masters Moonphase Lady is just the thing to don on golfing green. Its sporty character is highlighted the chronograph functions, powered by an automatic chronograph movement with column-wheel mechanism.
Rounding off this dynamic athlete is a triple calendar, function and moon phase indicator. A glimpse through the transparent case back will reveal a powerful heart, the 357 part El Primero 410 movement with 22K gold rotor.
Keen observers will note that the watch derives from men’s ChronoMaster range, hence the similarity in appearance. The double godron case is smaller (37.5mm in diameter) but the dial maintains the same Roman numeral appliques and grain d’orge (barleycorn) guilloche that made the ChronoMaster so successful. The female of the species also bears a distinctive tiara of diamonds totaling 4.88 carats. In 18K rose or white gold with a white or brown crocodile strap.
