Chopard
Chopard’s Laguna secret watch invites the gaze to marvel at the singular staging of secrecy. The timepiece is set in ethical 18-carat rose and white gold as well as titanium set with 10 carats of pink, violet and pastel blue sapphires, 4.28 carats of topaz, a 1.63 carat pearl, 1.47 carats of emeralds, 1.28 of carats diamonds and purple, Demantoid and Mandarin garnets.

Ciga Design
Ciga Design’s Year of the Snake timepiece utilises it's patented "Non-Synchronous Follower Technology," where the gold plated snake's head indicates hours while its tail indicates minutes. While the hour dial remains stationary, the minute dial moves, and the snake's tail follows, accurately indicating both hours and minutes.

Ressence
Ressence introduces the TYPE 9, in two colours — a warm Grey and a fresh Aqua. These shades accompany the brand’s very first 39mm watch building on its minimalist principles, housed in a reimagined polished titanium case. Its design strikes a perfect balance between strength and fluidity — much like a tango.
