Montblanc has taken the design codes of the 1858 Collection – think bold, large numerals, vintage hands, useful functions for travel – and adapted them for the Summit 2+, its latest smartwatch. The steel case houses the Snapdragon 3100 platform, a 1.28-inch AMOLED screen, a built-in speaker, and, for the first time, cellular connectivity in the Wear OS by Google on Android phones.

With functionality and legibility as its guiding principle, this GMT timepiece is a nod to transatlantic travel with a blue dial and a bi-directional rotating bezel in anodised aluminum. The 24-hour scale on the bezel is divided into grey for daytime and blue for nighttime, the second time zone indication aided by a hand with a red arrow tip.

The 41mm satin-polished steel case is complemented with either a matching bracelet or grey and blue elastic canvas strap.

Perpetual calendars with their multiple calendar indications can be intimidating but the L.U.C Perpetual Twin somehow manages to ‘uncomplicate’ the complication with a friendly design suited for everyday wear.

Framed by a 43mm case, the dial boasts an elegant layout of sub-dials – day at 9 o’clock, month at 3 o’clock with the leap month display hiding ‘February’, and the seconds at 6 o’clock. The highlight is the big date, displayed through two large apertures at 12 o’clock. Powering them is a COSC-certified automatic movement with two barrels that provide 65 hours of power reserve.

For the first time since its launch in 2016, the Perpetual Twin is available in rose gold case, and complemented with a green dial with sunburst motif.

Designed for the “young and active professionals” in the ’60s, Breitling is reviving this chronograph in almost similar design. The dial is a distinctive combination of white and dusty dark blue, complemented with red hands. The style may be retro but the heartbeat is contemporary – the Breitling Caliber 23 certified by the COSC for superlative chronometry.

Limited to 2,000 pieces, it is the first Breitling watch to feature a blockchain-based digital passport that verifies the authenticity and ownership of the watch with a single click.

Fashion’s most enduring luxury watch model was rendered in black ceramic when it debuted in 2000. In 2003, white ceramic was introduced.

Today, Chanel’s iconic J12 is available in black and white ceramic on a single timepiece. This was achieved by combining two blocks of ceramic, one in white and one in black, and held together by a metallic support, into which the sapphire caseback is set. So seamless are these attachments that you’d never guess the watch was made of two separate ceramic blocks.
