Timeless Expressions Of Love For Him And Her

HUBLOT
Big Bang Unico Golf Orange Carbon
In 2017, Hublot alongside Dustin Johnson, brought the joy of watchmaking mechanics to golfers’ wrists with the world’s first mechanical golf watch The Big Bang Unico Golf Orange Carbon continues the story, casing the ground-breaking Hublot MHUB1580 automatic movement in zesty, lightweight orange carbon. Three apertures display the hole number, the number of shots taken, and cumulative score for the round. The 45mm golf watch’s shot-counting mechanism is activated by a yellow putter-shaped pusher at 2 o’clock, which also advances the yellow stroke counter visible through an aperture at 3 o’clock. Another putter-shaped pusher at 4 o’clock resets the shot indication to zero and advances the hole indication at 9 o’clock by one hole. The cumulative score goes up by one with every recorded shot, and is shown through an aperture at 6 o’clock. Resetting the display to zero is via the lockable pusher at 8 o’clock. And because the watch is skeletonised, every operation is visualised by an intriguing dance of precisely choreographed moving parts, just like a good golf swing. With a power reserve of 72 hours and a high-tech orange fabric strap fitted with Hublot’s One Click change system, the watch weighs less than 100 grams and is water-resistant to 100 metres. Limited to 100 pieces.

Ladybird Valentine’s Day 2022
The theme of this timepiece is confirmed by the seconds hand, which sweeps a fiery red heart along in its perpetual rotations. A white mother-of-pearl dial adorned with varnished red numerals encircled by diamonds expresses the sweetness, ardour and infinity of love. The 34.9 mm white gold case sparkles with 58 diamonds daintily set on the bezel and lugs, in powerful contrast with the rose-cut ruby gracing the watch crown. The colour of love extends to the alligator leather strap, secured to the wrist by a diamond-set pin buckle. The sapphire case back reveals the round curves of the 1153 self-winding movement, meticulously decorated in accordance with the finest traditions of Haute Horlogerie, embellishing the gentle ticking of this true gem. An expression of delicacy and reliability with its generous four-day power reserve and silicon balance-spring, the 1153 movement is a promise of longevity. Issued in a 99-piece edition, the Ladybird “Valentine’s Day 2022” watch is proof of love, including that which Blancpain has shown for women over nearly a century.
