A superhero on the wrist
The Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon from Audemars Piguet is causing a sensation in the watchmaking world. This one-of-a-kind piece features a striking depiction of the superhero Black Panther on its dial.
Made in hand-painted white gold, the feline figurine seems ready to pounce, skilfully entwining the central hands and the tourbillon cage at 6 o'clock. The 42mm titanium case is enhanced with a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel and crown.
Inside beats the manual-winding Manufacture Caliber 2965, a true technical feat. Limited to 250 pieces, this watch embodies the improbable encounter between luxury watchmaking and the universe of Marvel comics.
Electrifying design from the past
Hamilton's Ventura Elvis 80 Skeleton revisits an iconic model with a contemporary twist. Its atypical triangular case evokes the first quartz watch in history, created by the brand in 1957.
This modern reinterpretation is distinguished by its skeleton dial offering a fascinating view of the movement. The contrast between the sleek rose gold plating and the sporty rubber strap adds a bold dimension to the whole look.
Powered by the ETA Powermatic 80 automatic caliber, this Ventura combines historical heritage and technical innovation. With its price of 1,670 euros, it represents the most affordable option in our selection of extravagant watches.
A transparent time machine
MB&F’s Horological Machine No. 9 Sapphire Vision pushes the boundaries of watchmaking transparency. Its intricate sapphire case with multiple curves and domes offers a breathtaking view of the inner workings.
The hand-wound manufacture movement reveals a symmetrical architecture with two balance wheels connected to a central planetary differential. This ingenious configuration optimizes the chronometric precision of the watch.
Available in pink or white gold, with different bridge colors, each variant is limited to 5 pieces. With a price of 410,000 euros, this futuristic creation is aimed at the most demanding collectors.
When watchmaking defies geometry
Hublot’s MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis 5 Days Power Reserve 3D Carbon challenges all traditional aesthetic codes. Its asymmetrical 3D carbon case incorporates a spectacular bi-axial tourbillon at 6 o’clock, visible through a “jaw” extension of the bezel.
The three-dimensional skeleton dial displays a large 5-day power reserve and an original semi-circular date. The hand-wound MHUB9009.H1.RA.B manufacture caliber powers this extraordinary creation.
Available in four series of eight pieces in bright colors, this futuristic watch is priced at 186,000 euros.
Diamonds that light up in the dark
The Excalibur Single Flying Tourbillon “Glow Me Up” by Roger Dubuis reinvents the concept of a jewelry watch. By day, it seduces with its 60 baguette diamonds set on the bezel. At night, it transforms into a unique light show.
The diamond settings are filled with Super-LumiNova in different colours, creating a fascinating multi-coloured halo in the dark. The movement’s star bridge, the tourbillon rim and the outer ring of the dial also light up.
Limited to 8 pieces in 42 mm rose gold, this exceptional piece houses the RD512SQ manufacture caliber with manual winding. Its price is 200,000 euros.
A new dimension in time display
The UR-220 SL “Asimov” from Urwerk shines with its patented, luminescent satellite display system. The hour cubes, the arc minute track, the brand name and the power reserve indicators light up in the dark.
The complex mechanism rotates the hour cubes before sending them through the timer. The hand-wound UR-7.20 manufacture caliber offers 48 hours of power reserve.
The 43.8mm by 53.6mm case is made of 81 layers of TPC carbon composite, forming a unique circular texture. This technical and aesthetic feat is offered at a price of 156,500 euros.
These extraordinary watchmaking creations push the boundaries of imagination and technical know-how. They demonstrate the watch industry's capacity for constant innovation, capable of surprising even the most jaded collectors.
