Elite Traveler Fall 2024

AUDEMARS PIGUET [RE] MASTER02 Architecture on the wrist takes great shape in the asymmetrical Audemars Piguet [Re]Master02 watch; it pays tribute to a timepiece from 1960. The new 41mm watch boasts a horizontal rectangular case made of a new alloy referred to as 18K sand gold thanks to its sandy matte fi nish. The top and bottom of the case, as well as the left side, are boldly angled, while the right side is simply a straight edge. The “Bleu Nuit, Nuage 50” dial is segmented — with 12 triangles of textured blue sections showing di ff erent hues depending on the light. But the dial extends beyond the main ‘square’ into the right side of the rectangle, with two squares of blue that endow it with geometric beauty and cutting-edge appeal. The self-winding Caliber 7129 is an extra-thin movement that o ff ers hours and minutes. It is created in a limited edition of 250 pieces. $47,200, audemarspiguet.com

CARL F. BUCHERER MANERO TOURBILLON DOUBLE PERIPHERAL Bringing together technical and mechanical prowess with innovative high-tech processes and age-old gem setting, Carl F. Bucherer pulls out all the stops with its new Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral watches in a host of vibrant colors (blue, green or purple). Powering the watch is the brand’s patented double peripheral automatic winding caliber CFB T3000. The peripheral winding not only winds the watch but also the tourbillon escapement (at 12 o’clock on the dial). The dials are created using laser technology to form peaks and valleys within, which the lacquer collects for lighter tones on top of the pyramids and more depth at the base. The watch is then meticulously set with 40 baguette-cut sapphires, tsavorites or amethysts (depending on the model). Just 18 of each will be made. $152,000, carl-f-bucherer.com
