The UR105 CT was first introduced in 2016 as their 20th year celebration. This year at the SIHH 2019 Urwerk showed their self winding Maverick in bronze and titanium which is their latest version of URWERK’s UR-105 CT wandering hour watch. The Maverick features Urwerk’s signature wandering-hours complication in which the hours on satellites progress in turn along a track of minutes. Four satellites, each holding three hour numerals are mounted on an open worked rotating carousel. The rotation of the carousel and the sequential changing of the hours on the satellites are accomplished in silence and with smooth efficiency, thanks to an improved design.

A power-reserve indicator and digital seconds make up the rest of the indications on the dial. The digital seconds are remarkable in that they indicate the tenths of a second. The system was manufactured by a photolithographic process in which each seconds marker was skeletonised to weigh less than a tenth of a gram. Powered by Urwerk automatic calibre UR 5.03 governed by twin turbines. This 52-jewels movement provides a power reserve of 48 hours when fully wound.

At the Salon de la Haute Horlogerie 2019, the Swiss brand Richard Mille took us on a nostalgic trip to the candy store, creating a much colorful buzz with their new BonBon Collection. Comprised of 10 models ,each produced in an edition of 30 pieces. The BonBon range watches articulate a sweet and tangy new vision in watchmaking,featuring candies, pastries and fruits,the watches feature colored gemstones and a finely tuned eye for detail offering a variety of shades and textures, the crowns and some of the case bands too take the shape of different confectionery treats.These impressions are strengthened by the effect of the brightly coloured TZP ceramic cases, used throughout the collection.

The 3,000 miniature sculptures  are painted in acrylic and lacquered by hand. The sculptures used in these compositions stand out from the dials, turning each one into a bag full of tiny candies. To further enhance their realism, a ‘sugar coating’ effect was achieved using powdered enamel and the fine sand employed in hourglasses.

Price $122,500 USD To  $158,000 USD

Jaeger‑LeCoultre remains one of the few Manufactures offering gem-setting, engraving, guillochage and enameling at its workshops, artistic techniques that require delicate and subtle work, typically done by hand and with the assistance of machines, more often than not, over a hundred years old. This year, technical and artistic precision takes on a new dimension. The Art of Precision stands out as the signature of Jaeger‑LeCoultre.

The guilloché enamel exteriors of this new Master Ultra Thin Enamel model is a testament to precision and sophistication, where blue is featured in all its majesty – a deep, intense midnight blue which achieves perfect harmony with the case of this limited edition.

Issued in a limited series of 100 pieces, the new Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel proudly expresses its character in a pure and refined watchmaking style, which translates directly into a new hand-guilloché blue enamel dial, new hour-markers, a new polished moon, and a new engraved counter. Its extremely thin case in white gold (10.04 mm) conceals its engine, the Jaeger‑LeCoultre Caliber 925, an automatic mechanical movement with a 70-hour power reserve.
