The new watchmaking year opens with novelties from the Bulgari, Hublot, TAG Heuer and Zenith brands, presented at Lvmh Watch Week, the first event on the calendar for the watchmaking industry, which takes place in Singapore in 2023. We present a taste of them. TAG Heuer celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Carrera with a chronograph in a limited edition of 600 with a panda dial (€7,100, in steel) and marks the return of the Monza with an unprecedented carbon flyback chrono (€13,350).
Bulgari's first novelties focus on jewellery watches. Serpenti Tubogas Infinity encompasses an unusual detail: the silhouette of the reptile, set with diamonds, winds its way around the bracelet, rejoining the head of the snake formed by the pavé dial. Available in two versions in pink gold, with a double loop bracelet (€92,400) or a single loop bracelet (€71,400).
Serpenti Seduttori, on the other hand, characterised by its hexagonal link bracelet, is offered in two versions with a black dial, one in steel (€5,400) and the other in steel and pink gold (€9,200).
Zenith offers a skeleton version of the Defy Skyline, which last year inaugurated the new life of the legendary El Primero calibre: a three-hand watch with a 1/10th of a second reading (€11,800 in steel).
The company also offers a variant of the Defy Skyline with a 36 mm case that is also suitable for women's wrists (€9,100 in steel; €12,900 in the diamond version).
Already tested by Hublot in 2019 in the emerald green colouring on the MP-11, Saxem, an ultra-resistant material with a brilliance superior to sapphire, is now available in a completely new shade called 'Yellow Neon'. Used to sculpt the yellow case of the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Yellow Neon Saxem (price to be announced).
