In the world of watchmaking, there are very few historically important timepieces that share the iconic status of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Originally introduced in 1931, the legendary watch was spawned out of a request from polo players who were tired of having the glass of their watches smashed. Almost a century old, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso has permanently etched its name in the history books as one the most celebrated watches of all time. For 2023, Jaeger-LeCoultre has released a new version that pays tribute to the original. Unveiled at Watches and Wonders 2023, the new Reverso Tribute Chronograph is available in pink gold and steel cases and is directly inspired by the first Reverso chronograph of 1996.


Reverso’s sleek Art Deco personality and the chronograph function is a rare combination, which is what makes the new Reverso Tribute Chronograph an interesting release. Both pink gold and stainless steel versions measure 49.4 (lug to lug), 29.9 wide, and 11.14mm thick.

It features a classic three-hand time-only dial on one side and a skeletonized chronograph on the other. The main dial gets a sunray-brushed background which is black in the pink-gold version and blue-grey on the stainless steel version. The blue-grey dial has a distinctive look achieved through Jaeger-LeCoultre’s innovative atomic layer deposition (ALD) process.

Flipping over the reverse side reveals a more complex and truly fascinating openworked dial with the chronograph function. The movement powering the watch is on display in the reverse dial with the baton markers applied to the railway minute track appearing to float over the caliber. This brings us to the beautiful movement powering the watch.

Housed inside the rectangular case is the Calibre 860 – an all-new manually wound chronograph movement developed and made in Vallée de Joux. It’s made of 300 components and offers a power reserve of 52 hours. The Reverso Tribute Chronograph comes with two straps – a canvas-and-calfskin strap and an all-leather strap. As for the pricing, the stainless steel version carries a price tag of $21,400, while the pink gold version can be yours for $37,400.

Panerai has expanded its Radiomir collection with this exciting new timepiece that offers a rather appealing combination of the iconic “California” dial with a faux-patinaed, pre-worn look. Revealed at the Watches and Wonders 2023, the new Panerai Radiomir California PAM01349 has all the qualities to be loved by Panerai collectors. The highlight of the new piece, obviously, is the California-style dial which can trace back its roots to the legendary Ref 3646, which was first produced by Panerai in the 1930s with Rolex. It features a distinctive alternation of Roman and Arabic numerals along with bar markers and a railway track minute circle. The dial in the new timepiece has a grained surface and smoked finish, giving it a vintage look.


Panerai has downsized the California model for the very first time from 47mm to a more wearable and attractive 45mm size. The case is made of Panerai’s new Brunito eSteel. While eSteel refers to an alloy made of recycled steel, Brunito is Italian for burnished, which is related to the process used by the watch brand to give the case a pre-worn, patinaed look. The process involves giving the eSteel case a slight PVD coating layer which is then gently brushed by hand, giving the case a vintage-style appearance.

Housed inside is Panerai’s in-house manually wound caliber P.5000 mechanical movement that features just the hours and minutes and offers an impressive eight days of power reserve. A vintage-style brown “Ponte Vecchio” calf-leather strap with a matching Brunito steel buckle rounds off the timepiece. The Radiomir California is priced at $12,300 and will only be available for purchase at Panerai boutiques around the world.

Behold the 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto, the long-awaited successor to the Aventador that served as the flagship supercar for the Italian marque for 12 long years. In typical Lamborghini fashion, it is named after a famous Spanish fighting bull from the late 19th century which was known for its wild, uncontrollable behavior. The new flagship also marks the beginning of a new chapter for Lamborghini; the Revuelto is the first series production hybrid model for the automaker. All future models that’ll be released by the manufacturer will have some form of electrification. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that Lamborghini has toned down its flagship because of hybridization; in fact, it’s wilder than ever. Here’s everything you need to know about the Lamborghini Revuelto.


The powertrain is an engineering marvel
Lamborghini revealed the powertrain details a few weeks before revealing the Revuelto, suggesting the Aventador replacement will be a revolutionary supercar. At the heart of the hybrid powertrain is a new 6.5-liter V12 which is 37 pounds lighter than the Aventador’s V12. It produces 813hp at 9250 rpm and redlines at an incredible 9500 rpm. At the front are two oil-cooled axial flux electric motors, one for each front wheel. Lamborghini claims each motor can deliver up to 147hp. The pair of electric motors not only offers torque vectoring but all-wheel-drive capability and power the car when put in reverse. A third motor is mounted within the brand-new eight-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, another first for Lamborghini.

The DCT unit is placed behind the V12, making room for a 3.8-kWh battery pack which is mounted longitudinally inside the car’s central tunnel. The powertrain has a cumulative power output of 1001 hp, making it the most powerful Lamborghini ever. The Italian manufacturer claims the Revuelto can sprint from zero to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 217mph.

A lighter and stiffer chassis
Lamborghini has pulled out all the stops to make the Revuelto as light as possible. In addition to making the V12 lighter, its chassis is 10 percent lighter than the Aventador’s monocoque, while being 25 percent stiffer. This is despite it being physically bigger in size. Referred to as monofuselage by Lamborghini, it consists of a monocoque made of carbon fiber and a front structure made of chopped carbon fiber soaked in resin.

Fighter jet-inspired design
Lamborghini fans expect the marque to make automobiles that are wild and outlandish, not restrained and boring. Thankfully, Lamborghini has not disappointed. The Revuelto’s design is proper pinup poster material which will make you drool. Although it shares design elements with the limited-production Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, you won’t mistake it for any other supercar ever made by Lamborghini.

The exterior design is full of sharp creases, angular body lines, and hexagonal patterns, making it look like more a 5th-generation stealth fighter than a supercar. Headlights and taillights have a Y-shaped design that has become a signature element on all the new Lamborghinis. Furthermore, there are plenty of scoops and vents, along with flying buttresses, all working in tandem to improve aerodynamics. Lamborghini says Revuelto’s design is 60 percent more aerodynamically efficient than that of Aventador’s and provides 70 percent more downforce.

A completely revamped spaceship-inspired cabin
While Revuelto’s cabin has retained some of Lamborghini’s signature design elements, the overall design has been completely reworked. The flagship supercar has a total of three displays on the dashboard. The first one is a 12.3-inch screen that functions as a gauge cluster. Instead of being nestled inside a binnacle, the display has a floating design.

The second one is an 8.4-inch vertically oriented central infotainment screen. Finally, a slim 9.1-inch display is mounted right above the glovebox in front of the passenger. In addition to the new dashboard design, Lamborghini has also added rotary dials on the steering wheel for adjusting drive mode and hybrid power settings. The cabin design has also been optimized to accommodate taller people. There’s added focus on environmental conservation. The upholstery combines various leather options with microfiber made from recycled polyester.

The Lamborghini Revuelto is expected to be launched in the US by the end of this year as a 2024 model year. While the pricing has not been revealed as of yet but we don’t expect it to carry a price tag lower than $600,000. Interestingly, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed during the media launch that the new flagship supercar is already sold out for two years. “We already have a high demand,” said the CEO. “If you put all the orders in we are seeing today, we are already exceeding two years of ordering.”What’s surprising is that orders started pouring in well before the Revuelto was unveiled. That kind of demand and hype is usually seen only with limited edition models. While some special customers had access to more details of the supercar ahead of its launch, “the majority of the customers who have put their orders in have not even seen the car; they don’t even know [what it looks like],” Winkelmann said.

Even without catching sight of Milan-based designer Enzo Manca’s vision for UAE’s official flagship mega yacht, it would be easy to envision a megayacht that is monumental, immoderate, and multifarious. However, one must applaud the designer for blowing our minds with the wild 459-foot luxury vessel, UAE One. It is nothing like any superyacht sailing the seas and was tailor-made for the United Arab Emirates’ with the idea it should become the official flagship mega yacht of the state.’


Apparently, the megayacht was designed in collaboration with a Sheikh who wanted to create an official flagship of the nation. The vessel is meant to be the epicenter of international meetings, private meetings, top-secret gatherings, and press areas. What catches attention at first look is the presence of two heliports on an expansive circular deck space. With the multitude of VVIP dignitaries and delegates expected to descend on UAE One in their choppers, it only makes sense to include various luxury amenities times two.

UAE One is a goliath, grand and gorgeous in equal measure. It is divided into nine decks with a defense ship-like persona. Her exterior flaunts deeply tinted, mirrored windows and an assertive silhouette to make the ship seem more noteworthy. The yacht’s interior features an unrivaled owner’s suite, eight master cabins, and 14 mini-suites, sleeping 48 guests onboard, serviced by a large crew of 65, who are accommodated in 35 cabins.

The luxury boat certainly means business and provides no less than three meeting rooms for the same. UAE One is outfitted with a dedicated press area for international meetings and gatherings.

All work and no play is not the mantra of the luxury-loving sheiks and notables of UAE. The main deck is fitted with a remarkable swimming pool, while a cozy fireplace flanks the foredeck, along with comfortable circular seating. Guests will enjoy the well-equipped wellness center with a serene spa, swim platform, and lounge areas. The massive motoryacht can hold an impressive arsenal of vehicles, toys, and air, land, and sea tenders.

A “mini-internal port” is established for stowing these many tenders and submarines. UAE One is a glorious flagship vessel representing the Emirate to the T. While there are no renderings or information on her performance, it will surely be worth the wait.

Gone are the days when Cartier’s iconic Santos Dumont watch was understated. The inventive overhaul now witnesses the elegant timepiece donning a specially developed 9629 MC automatic skeleton caliber, albeit staying true to the elegance of the original 1904 model. For Watches & Wonders, the watchmaker has released the Santos-Dumont Skeleton in a trio of metals. All three iterations share details like discernable screws, a beaded crown topped with blue cabochon, a skeleton movement, and a miniaturized functional oscillating replica of the Demoiselle, a trailblazing plane designed by Alberto Santos Dumont in 1907.


The only difference is the case; while the limited edition is made of gold (limited to 150 examples), the other two colorways (rose gold and stainless steel)are offered with steel cases. All three versions feature a case measuring 31mm and 8mm in thickness though it is easy to guess which one is a favorite. The Brazilian aeronaut, sportsman, and inventor inspired Cartier’s aesthetic and technical tribute. The Maison has set unprecedented skill levels with the new micro-rotor caliber that took almost two years to develop and comprises 212 components.

The showstopper of the collection- the limited edition in yellow gold and navy lacquer timepiece features lacquered bezel and case boasting skeleton bridges, all painstakingly hand-crafted to look breathtaking. The watch also exhibits Cartier’s signature blue cabochon and blue steel hands, perfectly complemented by a dark blue alligator strap. Unlike the steel counterparts, the chic yellow gold Santos Dumont watch is limited to 150 numbered pieces. The watch is water resistant upto 30 meters, with a power reserve of 44 hours.

If you’re one of those who found it difficult to choose between all the vibrant Oyster Perpetual dial colors Rolex released back in 2020, there’s finally a solution to your dilemma. For 2023, Rolex has introduced a trio of steel Oyster Perpetual watches with lacquered sky-blue “Celebration” dials that reunite those five hues in bubble form. The quirky dial is decorated with a cluster of different-sized bubbles that are rendered in pastel pink, hunter green, coral, yellow, and turquoise. Most of the bubbles seem to be concentrated at the bottom with a few rising to the top, making it look like colored marbles floating in the water.


The new Oyster Perpetual with the colorful Celebration dial is available in three different sizes: 31, 36, and 41mm. Other than the dial, the new iteration of the Oyster Perpetual is completely identical to its predecessor. The Oyster Perpetual 31 is powered by the caliber 2232 that offers 55 hours of power reserve, while the two larger sizes feature the caliber 3230 with 70 hours of reserve. Both the movements are Superlative Chronometer-certified and produced entirely in-house.

All three sizes come fitted with an Oystersteel three-link Oyster bracelet with Easylink extension-fitted Oysterclasps. As for the pricing, the Celebration dial versions carry the same price tags as other Oyster Perpetual watches in the collection. The Oyster Perpetual 31 ref. 277200 is priced at $5,650, the Oyster Perpetual 36 ref. 126000 can be yours for $6,100, and the Oyster Perpetual 41 ref. 124300 retails for $6400.

At last year’s Watches and Wonders show, Montblanc released two limited editions of the Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronograph. Introduced as the first open-dialed Montblanc Minerva watch ever, the Lime Gold edition was limited to just 18 pieces while the stainless steel was limited to 58 pieces. For 2023, Montblanc has released a new limited edition version of the timepiece in distressed steel that features a more contemporary, rugged look. To achieve the distressed steel finish, the 43mm stainless steel case is treated with a black coating, which is then manually washed and brushed with quartzite from the Mont-Blanc and limestones from the mountain opposite the Villeret Manufacture, called La Combe Grède. This process not only the two homes of Montblanc watches together but also provides each timepiece with its very own individual patina. The latest version also gets a white gold fluted bezel inspired by Minerva’s iconic bezel first used in 1927.


Other than the new exterior package, the new iteration is identical to the two limited editions we saw last year. Housed inside the case is the meticulously refinished Minerva MB M16.29 movement which sits exposed under an openworked dial, giving the watch its unusual name. Interestingly, the stunning movement has been flipped over to display its mechanical intricacies on the dial side, which required an extra 21 components for the hands to move in the right direction. The manually wound monopusher 30-minute chronograph is comprised of 273 parts and offers a power reserve of 50 hours. The caseback features an engraving of the historic Minerva Manufacture. Completing the look is a black nubuck alligator strap with a distressed steel triple-folding clasp. The new Montblanc 1858 Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronograph in distressed steel is limited to 88 examples and is priced at $36,500 apiece.

Parmigiani Fleurier has showcased an extraordinary trilogy of calendar watches crafted from the finest platinum at Watches and Wonders 2023. Celebrating cultures, civilizations, and the art of watchmaking, at the heart of the three horological masterpieces is the universal concept of the calendar. Parmigiani Fleurier’s founder, Michel Parmigiani, once said, “The calendar is an eminently fascinating watchmaking complication, as it really is the mirror of civilizations.” The platinum trilogy with Gregorian, Islamic, and Chinese calendars has been released in a strictly limited edition of three box sets, offering a unique opportunity to three collectors to acquire the trifecta of extremely complicated calendar watches.


The three platinum calendar watches are based on Parmigiani Fleurier’s Tonda calendar timepieces and are mechanically identical to them. The watches are made from 950 platinum. They feature solid gold hour markers and hands on a sandblasted platinum dial.

The Tonda PF Gregorian Calendar watch is a mechanical marvel thanks to its complex calendar movement. The day of the week, the month, and the phases of the moon are shown respectively at 9, 3, and 6 o’clock on the dial, while the oval PF logo is applied at 12 o’clock. It is powered by the in-house automatic calibre PF339 that offers 50 hours of power reserve. The moon phase mechanism only requires correcting once every 122 years, while the annual calendar needs adjustment once a year.

The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar is a celebration of the rich cultural legacy of the Islamic world. The Hijri or Islamic lunar calendar consists of twelve months of 29 or 30 days – depending on the moon phase – and is used to pinpoint the days for Islamic holidays. Therefore, the automatic in-house PF009 caliber required a completely reworked calendar mechanism. It is inspired by a Parmigiani Fleurier table clock launched in 2011, which was itself based on an antique pocket watch with an Arabic calendar display that was personally restored by Michel Parmigiani. On the dial side, the hours, minutes, and dates are rendered in Arabic numerals, while the name and length of the months are in Arabic calligraphy. Furthermore, the ninth month is even marked in green on the counter at 3 o’clock.

The Chinese calendar watch is an iteration of the Tonda PF Xiali Calendar which was introduced in January this year and is claimed to be the world’s most complete and most precise Chinese calendar. It’s a horological masterpiece. The Chinese lunisolar is derived from the combination of solar and lunar calendars, which are calculated separately and then synchronized using an extra lunar or intercalary month. Unlike the Gregorian calendar which gives each month a name and each year a number, the Chinese calendar names the lunar years but numbers the months. The names of the years are repeated on a 60-year cycle. The watch is powered by the calibre PF008, a new automatic in-house movement, which is mechanically programmed to cover a period of 12 years via a cam system. The trilogy of Parmigiani Fleurier’s calendar watches is the epitome of horological excellence, making it a perfect choice for collectors. The pricing has not been revealed.

One of the most interesting new references released by Patek Philippe is the Calatrava 24-Hour Display Travel Time Ref. 5224R. The newest addition to the Swiss watchmaker’s line-up of travel watches is inspired by Chronometero Gondolo pocket watches made for Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau in the early 20th century. The first thing you’ll notice about the watch is that noon is placed at 12 o’clock instead of the usual 6 o’clock position. According to Patek, this enables daytime hours to be conveniently read on the upper half of the dial.


The charming timepiece features a slim rose gold case measuring 42mm in diameter. It features curved, double-stepped lugs inspired by the ref. 5212 Weekly Calendar. Furthermore, instead of using pushers to adjust the dual-time zone display, the timepiece has a new, patented three-position crown, which affords it a clean, clutter-free design. The vibrant blue dial features a busy design with contrasting finishes – a circular striated center, satin-finished hour track, and a snailed small seconds. The hand-applied rose gold numerals adopt a modern, digital typeface, while the SuperLuminova-filled syringe hands and the railroad tracks for the hours and minutes offer a traditional touch to the timepiece.

Housed inside the slim case is the new ultra-thin caliber 21-260 PS FUS, which is a variant of the micro-rotor movement first seen in the ref. 5236P perpetual calendar. It offers a power reserve of 48 hours and can be seen through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback. Patek says three patents were filed for this movement, which may make their way to future calibers. The beautiful timepiece comes on a navy-blue calfskin strap with a nubuck finish, contrasting cream hand stitching, and a rose gold prong buckle. The Calatrava 24-Hour Display Travel Time is available at Patek Philippe boutiques and retailers for $57,366.
