From Vacheron Constantin's metiers d'art mastery to Bell & Ross's tactical glow-up, here are the timepieces that earned their place on our radar this month.
- VACHERON CONSTANTIN METIERS D’ART TRIBUTE TO THE QUEST OF TIME
- LOUIS ERARD X VIANNEY HALTER II WORLD TOUR
- A. LANGE & SOHNE SAXONIA THIN
- FRANCK MULLER VANGUARD ASIA PACIFIC EXCLUSIVE
- BELL & ROSS BR-X3 NIGHT VISION
The Maison's 270th anniversary has been a launch pad for one horological stunner after another, culminating in what's probably the year's magnum opus: The La Quête du Temps automaton clock. The clock itself isn't for sale, naturally, but there is a wristwatch inspired by it that captures Vacheron Constantin's métiers d'art expertise just as effectively.
Limited to 20 pieces in 18K white gold, the Tribute to The Quest of Time features a dual-retrograde display set against a dial depicting the night sky above Geneva on the brand's founding date. It also boasts four patented innovations: A sequential double power reserve, a retrograde governor for perfectly synchronised hand jumps, a detailed 3D moonphase display, and an all-time correction system.

LOUIS ERARD X VIANNEY HALTER II WORLD TOUR
The second collaboration between Louis Erard and Vianney Halter doesn't just bring Halter's signature steampunk aesthetic to a wider audience – it's a love letter to that audience, with subtle tweaks to the Regulateur Louis Erard x Vianney Halter II depending on which country it's made for. The Worldwide edition features a blued seconds hand and a case back engraved with "Louis Erard x Vianney Halter Limited Edition 1 of 178."
The Singapore edition, meanwhile, gets a red-gilded seconds hand and a case back inscribed with "Live long and prosper” – a nod to Halter's affection for science fiction in general, and Star Trek in particular. Limited to 25 pieces, it's available exclusively at The Hour Glass.

A. LANGE & SOHNE SAXONIA THIN
With a design as pure and refined as the Saxonia Thin, colour and case material combinations are paramount. The two latest iterations – in platinum or the brand's ultra-rare 18K Honeygold, both with luscious onyx dials – are the ultimate expressions of distilled elegance. The case measures 40mm by 6.2mm, housing the maison's thinnest movement, the 2.9mm-tall Calibre L093.1. Limited to 200 pieces per metal and delivered on glossy black alligator straps.

FRANCK MULLER VANGUARD ASIA PACIFIC EXCLUSIVE
Franck Muller has just unveiled an Asia Pacific exclusive that debuts a new dial design: The guilloche pave de losanges. The architectural motif is the result of four-stage stamping, with each faceted diamond shape catching and reflecting light against a micro-blasted sunburst centre. The dials, crafted in-house at the brand's dial manufacture, come in navy, grey, green, black, or brown. The steel Vanguard case houses an automatic movement with 42 hours of power reserve.

BELL & ROSS BR-X3 NIGHT VISION
After 20 years of its "circle in a square" cockpit-style design, Bell & Ross has evolved the BR-01 and BR-03 into the futuristic BR-X3, featuring a three-layer dial construction topped with an X-shaped metallic structure. Hot on its heels comes the collection's first limited edition: The BR-X3 Night Vision.
Inspired by aeronautical head-up display (HUD) systems, green is highlighted everywhere – from the glowing cutout pattern and tinted sapphire crystal to the case's protective cylinders and LUM-CAMO composite of carbon fibre and resin. Photoluminescent material on the numerals, indexes, and hands means the entire watch, dial to case, lights up in tactical-ready green.
