CARTIER MASSE

MYSTÉRIEUSE Part of its Rotonde de Cartier collection, the all-new Masse

Mystérieuse is a world fi rst. It boasts a 435-part automatic movement, caliber 9801MC, that is entirely built into the oscillating weight that powers the watch. The 43.5mm case is crafted in platinum, and a sapphire crystal and caseback allow for crystal-clear viewing of the mind-boggling mechanics. Just 30 individually numbered pieces will ever be made. Approx. $276,000, available at Cartier in Hudson Yards, New York, +1 646 495 0455, cartier.com

TAG HEUER CARRERA PLASMA Tag Heuer released the Carrera Plasma this year, the fi rst watch to feature lab-grown diamonds set into the case and on the indexes. Even the crown is entirely created from a lab-grown diamond. The 44mm case is crafted of black anodized aluminium, and the dial plate is polycrystalline diamond, wherein the crystals are grown as one cluster instead of individual diamonds. The Carrera Plasma watch is powered by the Heuer 02 Tourbillon Nanograph movement. It is not serially produced yet and is a one-of-a-kind timepiece that was the brainchild of CEO Frederic Arnault. Approx. $350,000, available at Tag Heuer in New York, +212 935 1869, tagheuer.com
