The DB27 “Night Hawk” introduces several firsts for the DB27 collection. Most notably, it features De Bethune’s first-ever production matte flame-blued titanium “short” floating lugs, paired with a polished and brushed grade-5 titanium case measuring 43mm in diameter and just 9mm in thickness.

At the heart of the watch lies a striking dial: the first titanium flame-blued “Starry Sky” motif ever seen on a DB27.

A signature of De Bethune, this celestial display is not merely decorative – it maps the night sky corresponding to the date and place marking the beginning of the partnership between EsperLuxe and De Bethune in 2021.

Surrounding the dial is a chapter ring with Roman numerals, complemented by a minute track with Arabic numerals along the outer edge. Two-tone, mirror-polished blued hands complete the display, offering exceptional legibility and a distinctive visual identity.

Powering the DB27 “Night Hawk” is the in-house, self-winding Caliber AUTOV2, visible through a sapphire caseback. This modern movement delivers a 60-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 4Hz.

It incorporates De Bethune’s patented technologies, including a titanium balance wheel with white gold inserts, designed to optimize performance against temperature variation and air resistance, as well as the brand’s proprietary “DB” balance spring with a flat terminal curve.

GIRARD-PERREGAUX – LAUREATO Chronograph 42mm Steel and Rose Gold Edition

 

 

GIRARD-PERREGAUX – LAUREATO Chronograph 42мм Steel and Rose Gold Edition - 2026

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

 The Two-Tone Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph 42

With its assertive style, Haute Horlogerie finishes and exceptional movement, the Laureato Chronograph 42 mm embodies the quintessential casual chic watch according to Girard-Perregaux. This model enables the Manufacture to offer a nuanced play on contrasts between past and present, sportiness and refinement, horological excellence and everyday comfort.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

A tribute to the decade in which it was born, this new interpretation of the Laureato subtly revisits the theme of the two-tone watch that was all the rage in the 1970s. The tonneau-shaped case crafted from 904L steel contrasts with the warm hues of rose gold accenting the octagonal bezel, the crown and the pushers positioned on the case middle. The link bracelet is replaced by a rubber strap adorned with a Clou de Paris hobnail pattern, hugging the curves of the wrist with a supple, perfectly ergonomic feel.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The sporty, contemporary Laureato is above all a Girard-Perregaux. The warm hues of the brown dial bearing a Clou de Paris motif complement the rose gold, reflecting the uncompromising attention paid to both the finest details, and to respect for the Manufacture’s watchmaking traditions and expertise.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

An object in which design meets Haute Horlogerie, built for optimal everyday comfort with its 42 mm case just 12.16 mm thick ensuring a perfect fit and secured by the integrated rubber strap, the Laureato Chronograph 42 mm is aimed at devotees of understated luxury.

Manufacture chronograph movement

While the Laureato stands out at first glance for its bold aesthetic, it is also distinguished by the exceptional Calibre GP03300. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This reliable, high-performance movement features exquisite horological finishes (circular graining, Côtes de Genève, bevelling, mirror polishing, satin brushing, engraving, sunburst finishing, snailing), visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, testifying to the high level of expertise and savoir-faire developed by Girard-Perregaux since 1791.

The Laureato: a question of style

More than just a watch, the Laureato is a legend in its own right. Launched in 1975, this timepiece with its bold design is one of the purest expressions of Girard-Perregaux’s multiple skills. The seamless blend of angular lines and polished curves strikes a rare balance that endows the watch with its timeless character.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

As a Manufacture renowned for both design and movements, Girard-Perregaux has truly come into its own with this luxurious, sportychic steel watch with its integrated bracelet. It is distinguished by its tonneau-shaped case along with its circular satin-finished octagonal bezel set on a polished ring which – like the Three Bridges – has become a defining feature of the Maison’s style vocabulary.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This sleek, geometric and functional aesthetic embodies a distinctive vision of watchmaking and celebrates the perfect alchemy between form and function, a language cherished by Girard-Perregaux since its founding in 1791. Recognisable at a glance, the Laureato combines precision, design, comfort and sophistication.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Without ever straying from its identity, the Laureato has evolved in step with the times, reinterpreted across the decades with remarkable consistency. Each generation fine-tunes its proportions, hones its lines and strengthens its coherence in an ongoing dialogue between heritage and modernity. A time-measuring instrument crafted in the grand Swiss watchmaking tradition, the Laureato is also a perennially elegant design object. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Epitomising accuracy in terms of aesthetics, chronometry and craftsmanship, it encapsulates the full range of expertise of an integrated Manufacture, bringing together under one roof all the skills involved in developing and producing exceptional timepieces.

H. MOSER & CIE. – ENDEAVOUR Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Edition

 

 

H. MOSER & CIE. – ENDEAVOUR Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton 40mm Titanium Edition - 2026

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

SOUND WITH AN OPEN HEART

At H. Moser & Cie., we don’t hide our complications. They are meant to be seen and heard. With the Endeavour Minute Repeater Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture pushes this approach to its limit: a fully skeletonised minute repeater, with its mechanism in the foreground, paired with a flying tourbillon equipped with a cylindrical hairspring. Two pinnacles of traditional watchmaking brought together in a single piece with a resolutely contemporary architecture, housed in a 40 mm titanium case. Time as a spectacle.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Placing the hammers and chimes on the dial side is not merely an aesthetic choice; it’s a deliberate statement. The minute repeater steps out of the shadows to take centre stage. This radical construction required a complete rethinking of the movement: curved chimes, positioned on the same plane, with volumes precisely adjusted. Everything is visible, therefore everything must be flawless. Full skeletonisation takes this logic to its extreme. Openworked bridges, airy structures, the interplay of space and tension: this watch truly breathes. The gaze moves freely, drawn to the details, held by the balance of the whole.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

At 2 o’clock, an unexpected counterpoint interrupts this deliberate transparency: a small domed sub-dial, Funky Blue fumé with the H. Moser & Cie. logo in transparent lacquer, like a secret signature. A burst of colour at the heart of the mechanics, the time is displayed serenely, almost weightlessly, while everything around it vibrates, moves and resonates. 

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The 40 mm case is not merely a display element; it is an instrument. Everything has been designed for sound. The sliding bolt, mounted on a Teflon runner, is integrated into the main plate to optimise space. The case middle has been hollowed out as much as possible to create a genuine sound box. Each volume contributes to the transmission of vibrations.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The choice of titanium is self-evident. Light, rigid and with low damping, it preserves vibrational energy instead of dissipating it. The result is a chime that is fuller, longer and clearer. A note that lingers, perfectly placed. Because producing a functional minute repeater is one thing. Creating a perfectly tuned melody is something else altogether.

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

And this sonic architecture contains an added dimension: a one-minute flying tourbillon equipped with a cylindrical hairspring. Inherited from 18th-century marine chronometers, this hairspring rises perpendicularly around the upper stem of the balance staff. Its concentric geometry improves isochronism and reduces friction,qualities further enhanced when paired with a tourbillon. 

 Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Today, the cylindrical hairspring is difficult to produce because it requires specialised expertise and tools. The teams at Precision Engineering AG, H. Moser & Cie.’s sister company, have revived this expertise, with each cylindrical hairspring shaped by hand – a process that takes ten times longer than for a traditional spring. 

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Suspended within this openworked architecture, the tourbillon appears to float, interacting with the hammers and chimes. The attention moves from sound to movement, from vibration to oscillation. Two mechanical languages, one unified breath. 

Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Driving this exceptional creation, the fully skeletonised, hand-wound HMC 909 calibre reworks a traditional aesthetic into an understated and minimalist style, adding the final touch of elegance to this disruptive new piece.

H. Moser & Cie.'s own and unique take on Haute Horlogerie.

BALTIC x SpaceOne – Seconde Majeure Jump Hour Edition

BALTIC x SpaceOne Watches – Seconde Majeure Brushed and Charbonné Jump Hour Edition 2026

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

A PARISIAN INCIDENT 

People are tied together, not brands. There is seemingly no reason for entities like the Baltic and SpaceOne to collaborate. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Two philosophies are at odds. Baltic makes vintage-inspired watches, playing with traditional watchmaking’s codes and modern construction. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

On the opposite side, SpaceOne offers spaceshi-looking watches with a deconstructed approach to time reading. One blends heritage with precision. The other redesigns tomorrow for fun. Yet, the two are tied together by friendship. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Foundation was laid in 2021 in Baltic’s headquarters. French Watchmakers were invited to discover the brand’s new office and share a moment together.  

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 Théo Auffret and Guillaume Laidet met on that occasion, making it the start of their friendship and what would become SpaceOne. Five years later, that bond gave life to a watch, the Seconde Majeure. 

DESTRUCTURED DISPLAY 

The Seconde Majeure takes a kinematic approach to time reading. Time is decentralized, traditional hands make way for sapphire discs, all in favor of an exclusive complication module. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Hours are read at 12 o’clock and minutes at 6 o’clock, guided by an arrow ending crosshair. The forward-looking typography stamped on the discs brings contrast to the otherwise classic assembly. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

A large seconds hand glides above, bringing motion to the seemingly still composition and giving its name to the watch: Seconde Majeure. 

VERTICALITY: TYING FORM TO FUNCTION

 

Offering an ingenious architecture, the Seconde Majeure is designed around its complication. The jumping-hour module - developed by Théo Auffret - relies on three visible components.
 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

 

A Central Control Wheel lies beneath the minute disc. It makes a full rotation in 60 minutes. When it completes a full rotation, it engages with the Star Wheel. The later has 12 teeth, corresponding to the 12 hours displayed on the disc attached above. 

 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

 

The Jumper Spring, visible to the left, keeps pressure on the Star Wheel, maintaining it centered. It is also responsible for the “jump” of the hour disc. Pressure builds when the Star Wheel begins its rotation.
 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

 

The hour jumps when the spring settles back between the next teeth. The dial ties the face together. Cut from a single piece of maillechort, it is both decorative and essential. The plate supports the module and allows the watch to function.

EXCLUSIVE FINISHING

The watch is available with two different dial finishes: Vertical brushed or “Charbonné”.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This signature technique is performed by expert watchmakers in Théo Auffret’s atelier. Done exclusively by hand, it requires up to three hours of work, giving each watch a truly unique character.

A TIMELESS CASE

Housing a SpaceOne module in a Baltic case would have been too easy. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

We aimed at something new, something none of us would have made without the other. The result is an entirely new design. Inspired by independent watchmaking, the Seconde Majeure is fitted with a 38.5mm case.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

The Mid-case, lugs, and case back are brushed with contrast provided by a polished concave bezel. This shape and finish are mirrored on the lugs. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

Arched and low-hanging, the lugs help the watch to sit naturally on the wrist. The feeling is complemented by a strap crafted by Delugs. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    

Made from beige Alcantara® and featuring curved spring bars, it hugs both the wrist and the case.

LIMITED IN TIME

The Seconde Majeure will be available for pre-order for from May 12th to May 17th. Each watch is individually numbered on the case back. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    

Production will be limited by the number of orders placed during these six days.
