New releases – Airain Type 20 ACE

Founded in the mid-20th century, the brand was revived by Tom van Wijlick in 2020. This modern take on the classic Airain aviation watch is the result of a partnership with the Amsterdam-based retailer Ace Jewelers. The silver-white dial is highlighted by orange accents and a roulette minute counter. The 39.5 mm stainless steel case hosts the hand-wound column-wheel AM2 caliber, which features the flyback function allowing for rapid resetting. A fabric NATO strap comes with the watch, in addition to the leather strap.

Watches at auction

The top lot of the Christie’s New York auction held on December 9 was a Richard Mille conceptual ultra-flat titanium, limited edition timepiece with function selector and visible titanium balance. Created in partnership with Ferrari, it achieved $1.4 million.

 

A 1986 Cartier London Crash sold for $819,000.

 

Another notable result came for a 1940 Patek Philippe 18k Yellow and Pink Gold ‘Chameleon’ Hinged Bangle Bracelet Watch, which sold for $378,000, more than three times its high estimate.

New releases – Eberhard & Co. Chronographe 1887

 

Two chronographs enrich the 1887 collection. Both feature calibers developed in collaboration with Manufacture AMT and fitted with a blue column-wheel and the flyback complication. The above picture shows the hand-wound model, which comes in a limited edition of 250 pieces. The custom upper bridge of its movement was designed in the shape of the shield, the Maison’s emblem. The dial features Eberhard’s historical logo, a perimeter telemeter scale, and a central spiral tachymeter scale.

New releases - Sevenfriday ME-Series

The ME-Series marks the introduction of Sevenfriday’s own stainless steel Milanese bracelet with a sliding buckle. The most notable visual feature of the ME is the three cut out sapphire glass pieces. Despite the use of new design elements, the disk is the same as that of the M-Series. The launch of the ME-Series includes two models. One in stainless steel with a hint of blue lacquer. The other with a touch of gold PVD and green lacquer. The  44 m case hosts the automatic Skeleton movement TMI NH70 featuring a 41 hours power reserve.
