Franck Muller Giga Tourbillon The Giga Tourbillon in a black PVD coated, 18-carat white gold Cintrée Curvex case has a large 20-mm tourbillon, which fills half of the watch. It is powered by four 16-mm barrels, 4-mm wider than traditional ones. Its Caliber FM 2100 movement is reversed with bridges placed on the open-worked dial side. It features a nine-day power reserve, and the high-yield escapement which drives the balance wheel produces a distinct sound, resembling the triple clicks ck of a marine chronometer.

6 Patek Philippe Ref 5213G From the brand’s grand complications, this timepiece fuses the perpetual calendar and minute repeater in one handsome 18-carat white gold Calatrava case with a 40.6 mm diameter. It features an automatic Calibre R27 PS QR movement, 48-hour power reserve and an exquisite silver opaline dial with a retrograde date and day, month and moonphase displays. A slide piece in the case activates the minute repeater with twin gongs.
HUBLOT ANTIKYTHERA Limited to four pieces, the wristwatch is inspired by the ancient Greek astronomical calculator. The watch emulates the ancient Antikythera mechanism in Hublot’s new Calibre 2033 CH01 movement, which telescopic hands point to spiral discs of varying radii. It is housed in a rectangular micro-blasted black PVD titanium case, 49.99-mm long and equally wide. It also displays several calendars, including the Egyptian calendar, the zodiac and moonphases. A piece was sold at an auction; another will remain with Hublot while the rest will be displayed in museums.
