2020 Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Smoked Dial Two-Tone Case (Price)
A year after its introduction, Audemars Piguet’s controversial yet entirely novel collection, Code 11.59, sees its first major evolution with the introduction of five new time-and-date models and five new Chronograph models.

Artisans de Geneve "Brooklyn Skeleton" Daytona Spike Lee Hands-On
The concept of customized watches is far from new and has been around for years – remember Karl Lagerfeld and his blackened RO in the 1970s… But beyond the easy task of applying a PVD coating on a case or adding diamonds on a bezel, some workshops have created more advanced programs to offer an exclusive service of watch modification for private customers.

Known for pushing the concept as far as modifying the movement and decorating it in traditional haute horlogerie-style, it works only upon request of its customers – some with famous names – on their own watches.

Available exclusively from Vacheron Constantin boutiques, the collection is comprised of four references, three of which are dedicated to Paris, Geneva and New York respectively, while the fourth is the newly announced Beijing model that is the focus of our article today.In English, Villes Lumieres loosely translates to city lights', which gives you some idea of what you can expect from this stunning series. On the face of things, the concept seems simple enough: create a bird's eye view of some of the world's most famous cities by night and then recreate this image in miniature form on the dial of a watch.
