GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL
The new PanoMatic Luna has a mother-of-pearl dial with Arabic numerals in different sizes, drawn in a delicate shade of lilac, as forms that radiate to the edge of the dial.

The dial is made in Glashütte Original’s own dial manufactory in Pforzheim, Germany, and is fashioned from the inner layer of sea shells.

JAEGER-LECOULTRE
The new Reverso One introduces fresh color and refinement to the collection. With its elongated case, inspired by the very first Reverso Lady model of 1931, and 27 grain-set diamonds (0.3 ct.) that define the gadroons at the case’s upper and lower edges, the Reverso One interprets femininity in a classically refined style. Finely drawn lines define the dial’s four corners and airy Arabic numerals appear to be hand-sketched. This understated composition receives a jolt of color in 2020 with a vivid red-wine dial. Its rich glow is achieved by applying multiple layers of lacquer over a subtle sunray guilloché pattern. The polished steel case is 40 mm by 20 mm. The solid steel caseback is perfect for engraving. Jaeger-LeCoultre quartz Caliber 657. The shiny red-wine alligator strap perfectly matches the dial. Price: $5,300.

LONGINES

MB&F
Almost exactly a year after its launch, the Legacy Machine FlyingT has shed its diamonds and appears as its natural self in two versions: the LM FlyingT Red Gold and Platinum editions, each limited to 18 pieces. Each has a 38.5-mm-diameter case that features a guilloché dial plate, crafted by hand in Kari Voutilainen’s workshops – black for the Red Gold version (Night) and sky blue for the Platinum one (Day) shown here. The inclined dial at 7 o’clock remains, so only the wearer can read the time. On the reverse, the automatic sun-shaped winding rotor of the MB&F in-house movement provides the LM FlyingT with a 100-hour (4 days) power reserve. Affixed at the top of the flying tourbillon that gives the FlyingT its name, a single diamond (0.035 ct.) rotates in time with the underlying mechanism, making one complete turn every 60 seconds. Presented on a calf or alligator leather strap with a pin buckle that matches the case. As shown: $119,000.
