Exotic Louis Vuitton and Custom Italian Rolex Watches

You surely remember these watches with a different image on the dial: Paris, bridges over the Seine, and a barge loaded with Louis Vuitton suitcases. In the new version, the suitcases are loaded onto a fishing boat against the backdrop of Mount Fuji. Next to them sits a Japanese god of luck, luring wealth with a fishing rod and fish in his hands.

The movement is the same as in the "French" version. It features a tourbillon, a minute repeater, and several automatons. One of them is the swaying branches of sakura with enamel-coated flowers. Read more about the novelty in the review.

A custom novelty from Artisans de Genève, looking at which you want to drop everything and rush to Italy. The color palette of the watch refers to a typical Italian breakfast: coffee (dial) and croissant (counters), which Italians often eat in bars. An interesting accent on the counters is the hands and numerals, kept in the color of sun-dried tomatoes. All this looks great with the yellow gold of the case and bracelet. As an interchangeable option, a strap made of ostrich leather was ordered for the watch. Read more about this model in the review.

Two novelties as part of a collaboration with the Alpine team. One of them is a hybrid analog-digital watch, compatible with both iOS and Android. The model's functionality includes a chronograph, GMT indication, perpetual calendar, and a number of functions (like a countdown) directly related to racing. The watches are sold as a collectible set, limited to 50 pieces. The official retail price of such a set is $74,400.

A sporty novelty in the best traditions of Parmigiani Fleurier. The watch features a compact steel case measuring 36 x 8.6 mm. The dial, decorated with the brand's signature barley grain guilloché motif, is in a pale pink color. The applied hour markers and hands with rhodium plating are made of 18-carat gold. The ribbed bezel framing the dial is made of platinum. The estimated cost of the model is CHF 21,900.

The highlight of these watches is the patented "PAN-GMT" development, which offers a unique way of displaying time. The hour hand is regular, while the minute hand has a V-shaped design that simultaneously points to 3 points on the minute scale. The original GMT indication takes into account non-standard time zone shifts of 30 or 45 minutes, characteristic of India, Canada, and several other countries. Each peak of the minute hand has its own illumination.

For those afraid of getting confused, the scale at the "6 o'clock" mark will remind you which lume color corresponds to the 30-minute and which to the 45-minute shift. The same color scale can be seen on the GMT hand, which is shaped like an inverted L. The watches are presented in a steel case measuring 39 x 11 mm and are limited to a series of 300 pieces. The estimated cost of the model is $2,450.

A retro novelty in unisex style, released in honor of the relaunch of the iconic Honda sports coupe. The model's dial is styled like a car dashboard. The hour and minute counter at the top of the dial resembles a speedometer. The counter in the lower left corner allows you to select the data display mode for the counter on the right: seconds/date/alarm/second time zone and stopwatch. The window just below displays either the temperature or the chronograph readings with an accuracy of up to 1/1000 of a second.

The watch has a steel case measuring 32.5 x 40.6 x 8 mm. Inside is a quartz movement with an accuracy of -15/+15 seconds per month. The release is limited to a series of 200 pieces and is intended exclusively for the Japanese market.
