The Cartier Pebble-Shaped "Baseball" Watch 2022 Re-edition
Cartier is often considered the master of shaped watches. Squared, oval, bell-shaped, asymetrical, cushion-shaped, barrel-shaped and many more… It’s an endless story, with the only limit being the capacity to be worn on the wrist. Some of the most emblematic and original designs of Cartier didn’t come from Paris’ HQ but from its London-based branch. The wildest ideas were brought to life, from the Crash in 1967 to the Maxi Oval in 1969 and the Double Strap in 1970. There is another design that we haven’t seen resurrected yet… until today, with the comeback of the so-called Baseball or the Cartier Pebble-Shaped Watch.?According to scholarship, this watch is the perfect example of Cartier’s creativity and adaptation to trends, reflecting the feeling of excitement in London at the beginning of the 1970s, following the swinging sixties.

The New Ikepod Megapod With A One-Minute Hourglass
Ikepod is a preeminent figure in unconventional and often contentious design-focused watchmaking icons. Revered by collectors and enthusiasts alike, the brand, founded in 1994 by designer Marc Newson and entrepreneur Oliver Ike, has left an indelible mark on the watchmaking scene. Despite its global success, Ikepod faced a challenging period, with production coming to a halt in 2012. After a period of dormancy, the brand found a new lease on life under the ownership of Christian-Louis Col, who firmly believed in giving Ikepod a second (third, really) chance. After a series of very appealing and true-to-form watches, Ikepod feels the time has come to retire the gen3 Megapod, with a fitting Hourglass limited edition.From left to right: Ikepod Megapod Hourglass Rob, Walter, Gae, Dieter.Col, recognizing Ikepod as a designer’s brand, collaborated with Emmanuel Gueit (famous creator of AP ROO) for the debut quartz-powered Duopod collection.

Introducing: The Denim-Toned Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph 5980G
One trend that has asserted itself at Patek Philippe this year is denim, or rather, the colour of blue jeans, appearing on the dials and straps of several novelties, like the Worldtime with Date and Aquanaut Travel Time. A much sought-after model, the Nautilus Flyback Chronograph 5980, was discontinued earlier this year. Much to the delight of collectors, Patek introduces a white gold version of the Nautilus Chronograph 5980G with a casual denim-textured strap and a matching denim-coloured dial.Launched in 1976, the Nautilus is part of the famous holy trinity of luxury sports watches. In 2006, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Gerald Genta's winning design for Patek, the Nautilus was fitted with an in-house chronograph complication (reference 5980/1A).

Introducing 2021 Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Collection (Live Pics, Price)

The seven new Marine Torpilleurs are limited editions and will be unveiled during the 2021 edition of Geneva Watch Days.Background Marine TorpilleurAlthough Switzerland is landlocked, Ulysse Nardin has always felt the call of the sea.
