The essence of excellence lives in many subtle details – a slender silhouette, clean lines, precision and mechanical virtuosity. Unveil it through this celebration of Less’ential.
Traditionnelle tourbillon
Intense green, with a beating heart
The Traditionnelle collection embodies the most demanding Geneva Haute Horlogerie traditions, blending seamlessly with audacious modernity. This esteemed line's latest addition portrays a fresh, contemporary interpretation of timeless design made with intrinsic elegance.
TRADITIONNELLE TOURBILLON, IN GREEN
The new Traditionnelle tourbillon timepiece exudes a splendid effect, a sumptuous sunburst green magnifying its 41 mm-diameter dial. Achieved through a galvanic treatment, this unique colour is elevated by the gleaming platinum case and the white-gold markers and hands. The piece's slender profile, enabled by its ultra-thin self-winding movement, adds to its inherent elegance. Epitomising horological expertise, the tourbillon's Maltese Cross carriage's mechanical ballet further emphasises its beauty.
Retrograde, a jump forward and back in time
The retrograde complication completes a circular arc before jumping back to its starting point, which demands excellent precision and durability. This year’s novelties honour this essential landmark for the Maison with three awe-inspiring models from three collections, celebrating this rare complication with exclusive new combinations.
OVERSEAS MOON PHASE RETROGRADE DATE
The Overseas collection ventures into new territory with its first retrograde display - a Maison’s signature. Combining two essential classical inspirations within a sporty case, this timepiece pairs its retrograde date with a precision moon phase. Beyond the design feat, the "age of the moon" brings a new level of poetry to this elegant watch. It legibly displays the days since the last new moon, precisely reflecting the heavenly body's cycle.
PATRIMONY DAY-DATE RETROGRADE
The new Patrimony day-date retrograde perpetuates the Maison’s endless quest for style. The watch impresses at first glance, boasting an intensely reflective salmon-coloured dial and glistening platinum case, an ideal match sought after by collectors. The timepiece also pays homage to the signature retrograde with its rare double complication indicating the day and date. Driven by in-house calibre 2460, the Patrimony offers a 40-hour power reserve that finishes embodying the quintessence of Haute Horlogerie.
TRADITIONNELLE TOURBILLON RETROGRADE OPENFACE
The new Traditionnelle tourbillon retrograde openface embodies an innovative, free spirit. Its avant-garde aesthetic is highlighted by the openface dial revealing the intricacies of this exceptional watch. Despite its slim profile, the 41 mm pink gold case upholds grand High Watchmaking traditions: the retrograde date display overlooks the Maltese Cross tourbillon and its refined finishes. The Calibre 2162 R31 and its decorated gold peripheral weight push the boundaries of contemporary fine watchmaking, capturing the essence of the grand Geneva tradition.
THE RETROGRADE DISPLAY
The retrograde display is a signature of the Maison, which has never stopped reinventing it. A technical feat for a singular display that makes a great impression.
Overseas self-winding, voyages of discovery
The call from an ever-changing horizon, captured in a timepiece. The Overseas collection welcomes four graceful new models, revealing the essentials: a versatile and daring spirit in a slender silhouette, with renewed proportions equally suited to both men’s and women’s wrists.
IN PINK GOLD
Capturing the aesthetic imprint of the 1996 first Overseas models, the new Overseas self-winding in pink gold is designed for an active life. The iconic blue sunburst dial complements the pink-gold screw-down bezel, creating harmonious gleaming effects. Flaunting a silhouette of 34.5 mm diameter for the non-set version and 35 mm for the gem-set one, the new models adapt to every circumstance.
IN STEEL
Less is more has never been so true: the two new Overseas self-winding in steel recreate the iconic understated spirit in a new slender design of smaller diameter, with harmonious proportions. While the blue dial flawlessly complements the non-set bezel, the version set with 90 diamonds features a delicate shade of pink – an ode to the countless dawns in shimmering waters ahead. Their strap interchangeability system, echoing the dials’ colour, sets the pace for two sportive timepieces that make the perfect travel companions.
OVERSEAS SELF-WINDING
The Overseas collection conveys the spirit of exploration. Designed in a spirit of casual elegance and comfort, Overseas timepieces are the perfect daily companions.
More than rare, unique

LES CABINOTIERS DUAL MOON GRAND COMPLICATION
Les Cabinotiers Dual Moon Grand Complication sits amongst the stars. This single-piece double-sided watch in white gold captures 11 noble horological complications in one refined casing. Majestic double moons sway amongst the graceful arcs of the retrograde date and perpetual calendar. Underneath, a wondrous sky chart reveals the constellations adjoining a skeletonised tourbillon. Even charming the ear with a minute repeater, this mechanical engineering feat is an otherworldly art piece.
