Parmigiani Fleurier presents the world’s first Hijri Perpetual Calendar in a wristwatch format. The Hijri Perpetual Calendar – or Islamic Calendar – wristwatch relies on technology developed by Michel Parmigiani for a table clock in 2011, which was, in turn, inspired by the restoration of a pocket watch with an Arabic calendar in 1993.

MeisterSinger revisits its minimalist Neo model with a new pointer date complication. Abandoning the round date aperture of former Neo models, MeisterSinger proves that two hands don’t betray the brand’s commitment to single-hand watches or mess with the clean German/Bauhaus design that distinguishes its watches. Available in 36mm and 40mm stainless steel cases, the pointer […]

This watch is officially the least serious but probably the coolest piece to celebrate the Chinese “Year of the Rat”… And honestly, we couldn’t have expected something less from Konstantin Chaykin.
