Urwerk presents its first watch of the year with the 100V T-Magic “Hunter Green” edition in a British Racing Green colourway. Housed in a full-titanium case, the UR-100V doesn’t just tell time; it also features two counters that display the distance that Earth travels as it rotates on its axis (555 km in 20 minutes, in case you are interested) and the distance it travels around the Sun in 20 minutes (35,740 km). This isn’t the information that you necessarily need, but how cool is it to have it on your watch?

For those who love craftsmanship the old-fashioned way, the Greubel Forsey Hand Made 2 is the ultimate pursuit of hand-made watchmaking. Every single component, inside and out, is imagined, created, and finished by hand. Each timepiece takes 6,000 hours (close to three years) to complete with 96% of the finished watch made by hand. Only two to three timepieces are delivered each year, making this one of the rarest timepieces on the market today. This is the 2nd Hand Made Edition by Greubel Forsey and is slightly less expensive than the Hand Made 1 at RM 3,102,000.

H. Moser & Cie. kicks off the year with a brand-new Pioneer Tourbillon in a 40 mm rose gold case with a smoked and sunburst burgundy dial and a khaki rubber strap. This colour combination may sound a little strange on paper, but looking at the photograph, you will instantly see that these different hues work rather wonderfully together. The timepiece is powered by the HMC 805 automatic caliber with a flying tourbillon and double hairspring, providing improved accuracy and performance. You can expect to pay RM 305,500 for this particular model.

The Swiss independent watchmaker Ulysse Nardin presents a new artistic collaboration for its first timepiece of the year. Partnering with fashion designer and artist Amoureuxpeintre (a.k.a Vsevolod Sever Cherepanov), this new timepiece presents something totally new for the watchmaker. The idea was to challenge conventions and create an artistic interpretation of a horological object. The result is a monochromatic timepiece based on Ulysse Nardin’s skeleton watch with its signature “X”  that is obscured by a frosted sapphire crystal.

The titanium version is priced at RM 629,800, while the terracotta model costs RM 733,200.
