We don’t discuss tastes and colors. At the Lady by GMT editorial team, on the other hand, we love discussing the latest news presented by brands
The absolute refinement of a watch set with a thousand and one precious stones, the intense colors of a dial, the “fall” of a case on the wrist, the unique light that emanates from a necklace, the precision and technical innovation… So many subjects that animate us on a daily basis and of which here is a small, non-exhaustive anthology. Day watches or evening jewelry (and vice versa), watchmaking and jewelry come in all their diversity. (MOP)

Audemars Piguet – Dare! Shine!
After life in pink, life in yellow: with this Extra-Thin Royal Oak “Jumbo” sculpted in yellow gold and set with more than 1,500 brilliant-cut yellow sapphires, Audemars Piguet puts an end to winter gloom and doom. brings back the sun. From the case to the bracelet, from the bezel to the dial, the light invites itself to the wrist and celebrates the passing of time with panache. To keep the tempo, this 39mm gold case houses the manufacture’s most sophisticated ultra-thin automatic movement, the self-winding Caliber 7121. This was developed in 2022 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak. What if we continued the festivities? (MOP)
American Tank © Cartier
Cartier – The American dream
Curved silhouette, adjusted proportions, the new Tank Americaine has evolved its lines by radicalizing the look of the iconic 1988 model. A new approach which energizes the ultra-profiled middle of the watch and whose pure form is reinforced by the graphics of the dial and the perfect integration of the case horns into the extension of the bracelet. Effortless chic, almost impertinent, for this watch equipped with the new Manufacture mechanical movement with automatic winding 1899 MC adapted to the thinnest cases. (CP)

Louis Vuitton – Parisian elegance
La Fabrique du Temps has vigorously pursued its quest for excellence with its new Tambour equipped with the House’s first three-hand automatic movement. Bold, this timepiece is reinvented in a more refined design, combining relaxed elegance and exceptional finishes. Its integrated bracelet, made up of fine, convex links, blends perfectly into a case designed to perfectly fit the shape of the wrist. The Tambour asserts its dual identity thanks to a dial that marks the Swiss watchmaking expertise and the Parisian elegance of the House. (CP)
G-Timeless © Gucci
Gucci – Golden Bees
Revealed during the latest Gucci fashion show, the new G-timeless collection unveils new variants combining character, elegance and creativity. The embodiment of finesse, this 40mm model with beveled and knurled edges reveals a white guilloché dial, adorned with the house’s emblematic symbols such as the bee and the feline’s head. Its automatic movement and internal mechanisms are revealed by a transparent case back and its green strap adds a delicate touch of color. (CP)
Grand Bal Tie & Die © Dior
Dior – Magical Waltz
With its new Grand Bal Tie and Dye collection, the House of Dior invites us on a journey and transports us into the magical world of gala evenings, where waltzes punctuate the movement of the dresses and where elegance is essential. Its “inverted Dior” automatic caliber and its functional oscillating weight located above the dial make its movement comparable to that of ball gowns. For the ornament, the Maison has hit the nail on the head: white gold, diamonds, sapphires and colored swirls make this precious timepiece a true jewel. (CP)
Garden Flowers © Jacob & Co.
Jacob & Co. Precious Garden
It’s a true ode to spring that Jacob & Co. offers us with the Fleurs de Jardin watch, a flamboyant variation of its Astronomia Solar model. The embodiment of femininity in perpetual movement, this model lets a host of precious stones set into armfuls of flowers bloom. In this precious garden, tsavorites, sapphires, amethysts and rubies display their charms on a mother-of-pearl dial highlighted by a braid of blue sapphires. A scene that will make your head spin: the double-axis flying tourbillon, the skeletonized dial and the gem-set flower, all three mounted on satellite arms, swirl in the heart of the 42.5mm case in rose gold and sapphire. A fascinating spectacle. (MOP)
Calatrava © Patek Philippe
Patek Philippe – Violet sublime
Star color of our wardrobe in 2022, purple continues to enchant us this year. Even the Calatrava by Patek Philippe, whose timeless elegance generally remains impervious to trends, takes on this intense nuance by playing the perfect harmony with the pink gold of its case. The result is simply sublime, especially since the Calatrava also seduces with the extremely refined work carried out on the dial struck with a pattern of concentric waves and covered with more than fifty layers of translucent lacquer. A dazzling face for this ultra chic watch, all in finesse and precision thanks to the extra-thin manufacture caliber 240 with automatic winding. (MOP)
Classic Tourbillon © Breguet
Breguet – Sparks of genius
A rain of diamonds that will make our heads spin: this is the new proposal from Breguet which illuminates the tourbillon mechanism with a fantastic snow setting on the dial of the Classique Tourbillon 3358. This setting technique that we can observe inside the mother-of-pearl hour ring consists of affixing the diamonds one by one, without a predefined plan, revealing as little metal as possible. The result is a watch draped in sparkles, right down to the gem-set bar which tops the brilliant invention of Abraham-Louis Breguet. The 35mm rose gold case is also paved with diamonds. Gold bezel, attachments and buckle are adorned with light while, as the ultimate refined detail, a rose-cut diamond caps the crown. (MOP)
Tweed de Chanel © CHANEL
Chanel – Like a precious fabric
Tweed owes its name to a river in the south of Scotland, this Scotland so dear to Gabrielle Chanel and whose landscapes she explored in the 1920s, when she had a romantic affair with the Duke of Westminster. Mademoiselle borrowed his tweed jackets in particular, this fabric woven in a thousand and one variations which she made a symbol of her creations. The tweed pattern appeared in Chanel’s jewelry collections in 2020. Here it is interpreted again through a daring collection of 63 pieces of High Jewelry. Fringed, braided, openwork, embroidered with magical colored stones and generous pearls, the tweed adorns the gold and once again reveals the know-how of the house’s jewelry artisans as well as the creative freedom of the design studio which seems not to know limits.

Alpine Eagle © Chopard
Chopard – Glacier splendor
For its new Alpine Eagle Summit adorned with a textured “Zinal Blue” dial, Chopard was inspired by the beauty of the Alpine landscapes. Both sober and dazzling, this model in ethical gold recalls the perfect mastery of setting by the House’s artisans, by displaying a bezel set with baguette sapphires, the whole of which offers a magnificent gradient of colors. Its heart beats to the rhythm of the Chopard 01.15-C movement, visible through a transparent sapphire caseback. A striking spectacle, which pays tribute to the richness and immensity of our environment. (CP)
1911 Beige MOP © Ebel
Ebel – Cosmic and captivating
Yellow gold, diamonds, the new Ebel 1911 has what it takes to take us on a journey through a luminous and sparkling universe. A true ode to life, this timepiece presents a case in steel and yellow gold, enhanced by the brilliance of the champagne-beige mother-of-pearl dial and the 10 diamond indexes. As precious as it is committed, the Ebel 1911 offers two bracelets, one in two-tone steel and the other in recycled beige fabric made from plastic from the oceans. A subtle nod to our ecosystem, which is also so precious. (CP)
Tilda’s Bow © Graff
Graff – Frills of light
Is it a watch or a piece of jewelry? Between the two, Graff refuses to choose. Tilda’s Bow has the look of a piece of jewelry, but a piece of jewelry that tells the time. Fluid and delicate, mounted on a bracelet set with three rows of diamonds, the jewelry watch adorns the wrist with a burst of light. To contrast with the white diamonds that adorn the white gold case, dial and bracelet, Graff opts for a pink gold bow paved with pink diamonds of different sizes. A pattern similar to a precious frill for those who embrace their “girly” side. (MOP)
Recital 23 © Bovet 1822
Bovet 1822 – Time is precious
Is it asking for the moon to want a watch that combines the best of watchmaking technique, the grace of diamonds and the most beautiful manual finishes? Just for us, Bovet takes down the star of the night and places it majestically at the heart of the Récital 23 watch. The model is not entirely new. But its red gold silhouette haloed by a bezel set with 72 diamonds welcomes a new dial color. Guilloched and chiselled by hand, it is covered by needles which, when they come together, form a heart. There is poetry in the air! (MOP)
Navitimer Automatic 36 © Breitling
Breilting – Focus on elegance
When it was launched in 1952, the Navitimer established itself as one of the pilots’ favorite watches. His best asset? A slide rule allowing you to perform around twenty operations in flight. Breitling is today revisiting its emblematic model by giving it the appearance of a jewel. The famous slide rule is still present on this 36mm two-tone model, as well as the pearled bezel emblematic of the collection. But Breitling adds a very feminine touch to them with a mother-of-pearl dial punctuated with diamond indexes. An ultra-seductive look powered behind the scenes by the COSC-certified Breitling 17 automatic movement. Result: a must-have for those who know about it. (MOP)
RM 07-01 Colored ceramics © Richard Mille
Richard Mille – Graphic extravaganza
Do you know the Memphis group? Do you have in mind the ultra pop universe of this Italian movement of the 1980s, led by a group of architects, designers and artists? Richard Mille is largely inspired by their taste for creative freedom and their use of colors to outline the features of the RM 07-01 Colored Ceramics collection. Available in three pastel shades, blush pink, lavender and powder blue, the TZP ceramic case stands out for its lightness and robustness. Better yet, this technical material ensures that the color remains unchanged over time. Enough to make us want to prolong summer forever. (MOP)
Collection The Green Path © Bucherer Fine Jewellery
Bucherer Fine Jewelery – Vert spectacular
The design is deliberately minimalist. A simple yellow gold setting and an octagon-cut Colombian emerald: nothing more is needed from the 24 pieces that make up The Green Path collection to express the quintessence of rarity and preciousness. Because emerald has an extremely rich inner life that Bucherer Fine Jewelery chooses to highlight here by placing each gem in majesty on the necklaces, rings and earrings in the collection. Combined with 100% recycled yellow gold, the stones reveal fascinating inclusions called “gardens” in which the eye enjoys getting lost. A spectacular beauty whose uniqueness is certified and traced for the first time by digital and physical trackers. (MOP)
Oyster Perpetual © Rolex
Rolex – The meaning of celebration
We can see a flight of balloons or a joyful crackling of multicolored bubbles. What is certain is that Rolex is playing the lightness card with this surprising Oyster Perpetual in steel which will not leave anyone indifferent. This model with a very pop style welcomes for the first time a lacquered dial decorated with a “Celebration” motif. A touch of audacity and optimism for this technically very serious 36mm model thanks to the caliber 2232 certified Superlative Chronometer. (MOP)
