Patek Philippe presents luxury timepieces in Watches and Wonders Geneva 2023

Patek Philippe presents 17 new watch models with innovative technical and aesthetic features, enriching its vast range of collections

On the occasion of Watches and Wonders 2023, the Geneva-based manufacture is unveiling a wide selection of new models, ranging from a Calatrava with an original 24-hour display and a Travel Time function for the display of a second time zone, to a new haute joaillerie version of the Grandmaster Chime, and the first Annual Calendar to enter the ladies’ Aquanaut Luce collection, renowned for its modern casual chic. A new vintage celebrating technical mastery and creativity.

“Why does Patek Philippe offer so many different collections? Because each of them has its own character and its own way of enabling us to innovate and express ourselves.” That was the message from Thierry Stern, president of the family-owned manufacture, in a recent communications campaign centering on the company’s brand philosophy. From the Grand Complications to the elegant sports models and others that have become icons of horological design, Patek Philippe maintains a vast choice of watches for men and women in every market segment. As time passes, the manufacture takes great care to ensure a balanced evolution of the approximately 150 references, which are crafted in small series, ranging from about ten pieces to a few hundred. The 17 new introductions presented at the Watches and Wonders 2023 salon are the perfect illustration.

Five refined new looks for the striking watches –Grand Complications emblematic of Patek Philippe

Since the manufacture’s foundation in 1839, Patek Philippe has made its mark as one of the greatest specialists in striking watches. Its supreme mastery was confirmed in 2014 by the launch, as a limited edition, of the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime – the most complicated Patek Philippe wristwatch, with 20 complications. This timepiece, which joined the current collection in 2016, is particularly notable for its five chiming modes, including an alarm striking the pre-selected time, and a date repeater striking the date on demand.

The manufacture is reinterpreting the design of the double-face reversible case, endowed with a patented rotation mechanism, by presenting it for the first time in a bicolor version combining white gold and rose gold. This new Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Reference 6300GR-001 also stands out by its two brown opaline dials, with a hand-guilloched Clous de Paris or hobnail pattern on the side displaying the time of day, and its two-tone chestnut brown patinated alligator strap and bicolor folding buckle.

In 2022, Patek Philippe highlighted the mechanical perfection of the Grandmaster Chime with two gem- set versions, one with baguette-cut diamonds (Reference 6300/400G-001) the other with baguette-cut diamonds and baguette-cut blue sapphires (Reference 6300/401G-001). Now, the manufacture is presenting a new alliance between haute horlogerie and haute joaillerie with the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Haute Joaillerie Reference 6300/403G-001 shimmering with 118 baguette-cut emeralds (7.87 ct) and 291 baguette-cut diamonds (20.54 ct) in a superb example of the “baguette” and “invisible” setting techniques. This timepiece is endowed with two dials in ebony-black opaline, with a hand-guilloched Clous de Paris or hobnail pattern on the time side and a shiny black alligator leather strap with emerald-green hand stitching.

Another outstanding piece among the striking watches, Reference 5316, launched in 2017, unites a minute repeater, a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar with retrograde date hand and a moon-phase indicator. In the Grand Complication Reference 5316/50P-001, Patek Philippe gives this timepiece a unique new modern allure –with a platinum case and a sapphire-crystal dial with blue metallization and black-gradient rim, affording a veiled glimpse of the mechanical heart of the watch.

Rare Handcrafts World Time Minute Repeater Reference 5531G-001

The manufacture is also enriching its selection of minute-repeating wristwatches –the largest such range in a current collection –with two reinterpretations under the heading of Rare Handcrafts. Rare Handcrafts World Time Minute Repeater Reference 5531G-001 – the first minute repeater model that always strikes the local time –is also the first World Time Minute Repeater in white gold. Its dial center is adorned with a new Grand Feu cloisonné enamel scene depicting one of the famous steamboats still plying the waters of Lake Geneva. Another new model, Rare Handcrafts Minute Repeater Reference 5178G-012, is endowed with a self-winding movement and “cathedral” gongs whose sound is particularly deep and rich. It features a new dial in blue Grand Feu flinqué enamel over a distinctive hand-guilloched swirling pattern.

Calatrava Reference 5224R-001

A new complicated model and refreshed designs in the Calatrava collection

With its sleek round case and air of understatement, the Calatrava collection (launched in 1932) has made its mark as the archetype of timeless elegance. Over the years, Patek Philippe has added to this vast family a variety of complications used in everyday life, such as the Travel Time dual time zone function and the weekly calendar. The manufacture is now expanding its range of travel watches with the new Calatrava Reference 5224R-001 featuring the Travel Time dual time zone and an original 24- hour display. The new caliber 31-260 PS FUS 24H self-winding movement is further distinguished by its patented system for correcting local time by the crown. It is housed in a rose-gold case harmonizing with a blue dial embellished by complex finishing touches, adorned with numerals, hour markers and five-minute cabochons all in rose gold, individually applied by hand.

Since 2015, the models in the Pilot style – inspired by the Patek Philippe watches created for aviators in the 1930s – have featured prominently in the manufacture’s collections, with several versions of the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time with the dual time-zone mechanism, as well as a Grand Complication equipped with a 24-hour alarm. Patek Philippe is now endowing this distinctive line, known for its original, highly recognizable aesthetic, with its first two chronograph models: Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Chronograph Reference 5924G-001, with a blue-gray sunburst dial and a navy-blue grained calfskin strap; and the Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Chronograph Reference 5924G-010, with a lacquered dial in khaki green and an olive-green calfskin strap with a vintage finish. These two watches house the caliber CH 28-520 C FUS self-winding movement uniting three practical and user-friendly complications: a fly-back chronograph, a Travel Time dual time zone function and the date indicated by a hand, coupled with local time.

Other new models in the Patek Philippe current collection include the Calatrava references 6007G- 001, 6007G-010 and 6007G-011 featuring a graphic modern style. The ebony black dials, enriched with three types of finish, center an embossed “carbon” pattern. The dynamism of the design is heightened by touches of color on the dials and straps: yellow (6007G-001), red (6007G-010) or sky blue (6007G-011). The white-gold cases house the caliber 26-330 S C self-winding movement with date and stop-seconds function.

4997/200R – CALATRAVA

Patek Philippe is also expanding its range of elegant watches for women with the new Calatrava self- winding Reference 4997/200R-001, a reinterpretation of a great classic that catches the eye with a rose-gold case and a dial and strap decked out in purple. The dial, embossed with a pattern of concentric waves, is coated with more than fifty layers of translucent lacquer, creating a mesmerizing sense of depth. The case is adorned with a diamond-set bezel and houses the caliber 240 ultra-thin self-winding movement.

New functions and new faces for the Aquanaut and Aquanaut Luce

Patek Philippe made its mark in the domain of sporty elegance by designing two models that have acquired cult status: the Nautilus (1976) and the Aquanaut (1997), the latter strengthening its offer in 2004 with the launch of the ladies’ Aquanaut Luce line. Following the introduction of a Travel Time dual time-zone model in 2021 and a self-winding chronograph version in 2022, the Aquanaut Luce is now treating itself to a new practical and easy-to-use complication: the patented Annual Calendar. Graced with a blue-gray dial and strap, this Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar Reference 5261R-001 in rose gold enhances the choice of complicated watches for women with a non-gemset model.

The new self-winding ladies’ Aquanaut Luce Reference 5268/200R-010 coordinates a rose-gold case with a dial and integrated strap in taupe –a warm hue between brown and gray in perfect harmony with this model’s “modern casual chic” style. Its characteristic rounded octagonal bezel is lit by the fire of 48 diamonds. The case is water resistant to 120 m and houses the caliber 26-330 S C self-winding movement with stop seconds.

The self-winding Aquanaut chronograph for men, already available in steel and in white gold, also sports a rose-gold case for the new Aquanaut Chronograph Reference 5968R-001, endowed with a sunburst dial in a gradient of brown to black, and a matching composite strap.

From technical models to jewelry pieces

In the segment of complicated watches for men, Self-winding Flyback Chronograph with Annual Calendar Reference 5905R-010 endowed with a rose-gold case and a blue sunburst dial lends a new face to this alliance between two sought-after Patek Philippe complications.

Gondolo Serata Reference 4962/200R-001

The Gondolo collection, comprising the Patek Philippe “form watches” of Art Deco inspiration, announces the return of a jewelry watch with unique style and timeless elegance. The Gondolo Serata Reference 4962/200R-001, in rose gold, is set with spessartites arranged in a double color gradient, highlighting the case’s refined curves. The brown-lacquered dial presents a floral decoration with contrasting finishes.

A rich collection of rare handcrafts

Once again, as in previous years, Patek Philippe is also unveiling a splendid collection of one-of-a-kind or limited-edition pieces (dome table clocks, table clocks, pocket watches and wristwatches) showcasing the rarest and most refined of the artistic crafts, such as miniature painting on enamel, Grand Feu cloisonné enameling, hand engraving and wood marquetry. The “Rare Handcrafts 2023” exhibition, bringing together these 67 creations, will be open to the public from April 1 to 15 2023 in the Patek Philippe Salons in Geneva.

10 Luxury Design Gorgeous Most Amazing Inspirations

10 luxury Design gorgeous Most Amazing Inspirations

the hospitality industry is back in the game with renewed attention to sustainability and well-being. Since last year, the world has been presented with exceptional new Hotels, Restaurants and Spa projects around the world that have redefined the Guest Experience with new strategies. Striking interiors with authentic characters play a differentiating role in this new era of Hospitality Design, as does the reinvention of spaces to suit the modern lifestyle, and integrating local experiences to allow travellers to truly connect with the destination. As the industry is experiencing a revival, inspiration is key.

#Bocadolobo #design #hospitality #luxury #interiors #modern #lifestyle #myluxepoint

Boca do Lobo presents a collection of design-led hotels, restaurants and spas that function both as social hubs and platforms for extraordinary experiences. We present this series of carefully curated Hospitality Interiors that provide an individualized look at the modern hospitality narrative. This book explores in detail the new hospitality interior design trends that launch the pillars of a Changing World and sets itself as a source of inspiration for Interior Designers by exploring different styles and concepts.

A hotel reception is a place of particular value. It is here where the first (and last) contact of the guest with the facility takes place. It is critical to make sure that visitors get a positive first impression. Every detail matters when it comes to making sure the reception area efficiently serves and pleasantly surprises guests. Boca do Lobo

The design should be expressive and convey a strong character but not for the price of overwhelming the guests with any unnecessary excess. Comfort and functionality are essential to make guests feel even more comfortable than at home. Materials usually include stone, wood, ceramics, glass, and concrete.

Hospitality Design: A Curated Selection by Boca do Lobo

Lobbies: A vibrant social hub

A Lobby is no longer a vacant waiting area, as hotels are no longer just a place to sleep. Hotel Lobbies are being reimagined as vibrant social hubs, a place to socialize and, above all, engage. Stepping into a perfectly designed space filled with beautiful artwork and elegant furniture is a sign that a guest is about to have an amazing stay.

In fact, there may be no greater indicator of a hotel’s quality than the lobby. But should be integrated into the design so travellers can easily connect to Wi-Fi, use mobile or kiosk check-in, and engage with other technologies. A hotel lobby must be conceived as a destination point for both modern travellers and locals.

Bar | Lounges: A space adapted to a new generation

The perfect Hotel Lounge is a place to enjoy a drink while surrounded by a spectacular ambience that is mentioned in every travel guide as one of the best spots to visit in the city by modern travellers. The Hotel Lounge is no longer a stuffy place for solo business travellers.

The biggest change in bar design is making the bar a more prominent part of the lobby. In fact, more and more hotels are emphasizing the bar as the leading element of the lobby and the anchor of a hotel’s public space. Key elements when designing a lobby include modern technology. Furniture options at hotel bars can include lounge chairs, barstools and traditional tables and chairs.

Restaurants: Creating Memorable Experiences

Apart from a great menu, a restaurant must be able to create a memorable experience overall for its visitors. Modern restaurants have carefully designed entrance seen from the street that provides a centralized view of the entire restaurant.

Inside, you can create a pleasant atmosphere by including modern lighting fixtures, artwork, greenery, statement furniture and surprising elements that will set the restaurant apart from others. It could be blending the space seamlessly into the surrounding landscape or including local elements in the design and general experience. Many hotel brands have invested in eye-catching modern designs paired with incredible tasting experiences signed by Michelin-starred chefs.

“The goal is to create memorable experiences that resonate with modern lifestyle.”

Suites: A home away from home

Design-oriented hotel suites are the most common inspiration hunting ground for residential projects when it comes to creating outstanding master bedrooms. When designing a hotel suite, comfort and technology are key. Who doesn’t love the feeling of a soft, freshly made-hotel bed?

Pair those elements with a large bathroom and walk-in closet specially designed as well-being-focused spaces for pampering guests and voilà… The master bedroom of dreams is born. A hotel suite is a home away from home, and therefore it must be even more welcoming than home. Statement furniture like iconic luxury safes is an unexpected element that will surprise the Modern Guest.

Bathrooms: Create Wellness Retreats

Just like the Hotel Suite, luxury hotel bathrooms are ofter wellness retreats that set the example for residential bathrooms. While creating a luxurious, wellness-focused experience may be the common goal for these spaces, when designing hotel bathrooms the starting point is usually the overall story the hotel’s design is telling.

Guests want to be surprised and charmed, and creating that luxury experience is all about the details. Use sliding glass doors to bring natural light into these spaces. Choose walk-in showers with oversized shower heads and statement freestanding bathtubs, with brass and marble accessories. Overall, creating spa-inspired bathrooms remains a common standard when designing Hotel Bathrooms. It’s all about impressing guests and creating that “wow” moment.

Hallways & Corridors: A seamless transition from public to private areas

Hotel hallways and corridors may not seem like the most important spaces to consider in a hotel interior design project. However, they present another opportunity to convey the hotel’s design story by providing a seamless transition from the lobby to the hotel suite.

Corridors are the natural extension of the hotel suite and must therefore provide a cohesive style and ambience. Adorn a hotel corridor with statement floors, some artwork exhibited in beautiful displays and luxurious art pieces like marble consoles and statement mirrors with intricate details. The result is the perfect transition from public to private areas.

Pietra Console

Spas: Re-connecting with nature

Spas are often associated with luxury and are now considered a necessary element in hotel interior design. Spas must provide distinctive and inspirational experiences to guests who demand originality and a strong character from luxury hotels.

These spaces are often designed to allow natural light in, and connections to the outdoor spa areas, gardens, or even a roof terrace. Therefore the spa’s sitting is crucial. Luxury spa design is no longer formal and minimalist. Instead, the focus is creating welcoming retreats designed to appeal to all the senses, that are all about comfort, relaxation, and reconnecting with nature.

Offices | Meeting Rooms: The modern creative hub

Office and meeting rooms are places for creativity to flow and collaboration to bloom. This has led to different design requirements, including the need for more comfortable, stylised furniture and advanced technology solutions. The basic categories to have in mind when designing an office are seating, work surfaces, collaborative equipment, acoustics and privacy.

Adding some artwork and decorative accessories, as well as the right lighting fixtures will create a more welcoming feel in the room. The central piece of an office is the desk. Pair the table with an ergonomic leather office chair for maximum comfort, and the modern luxury office is born.

Empire Nero Marquina Desk

Kids’ Lounges: A magical world of self-expression

Kids’ lounges are play areas designed to stimulate creativity and provide fun by allowing children to experience a magical world of their own. These spaces must be colourful and functional and include some eye-catching statement designs to provide a little extra stimulation to adventurous minds.

From airplane beds, rocket armchairs and hot air balloons to sleeping cars and playhouses, in the next pages, you will find the most creative ideas to design outstanding kids’ lounges.

HIGH JEWELRY BEYOND THE LIGHT AKH-BA-KA

ALTA

JOYERIA

MÁS ALLÁ DE LA LUZ

UN VIAJE INICIÁTICO AL CORAZÓN DEL ANTIGUO EGIPTO

Este año, Valérie Messika explora el fascinante y misterioso atractivo del antiguo Egipto. Presenta una colección de alta joyería solar y poderosa: Beyond the Light, una lluvia incandescente de oro y diamantes, una promesa de resplandor eterno. La Maison parisina sueña con un viaje único y místico. Una odisea mágica donde la pasión, la audacia y la excelencia componen una fascinante y majestuosa colección de arte sin igual.

La directora artística combina a la perfección sus inspiraciones y su saber hacer. A través de una pureza de formas y líneas gráficas, un aspecto imperial y piedras excepcionales, Valérie Messika dirige una sinfonía retrofuturista sutilmente teñida de Egipto y su mitología hipnótica. Los conjuntos únicos e innovadores en los que los diamantes se transforman pieza a pieza dan como resultado una colección de joyas vibrante y mística.

AKH-BA-KA

LA ODISEA DE UN DIAMANTE EXCEPCIONAL

La Maison of Messika está escribiendo un nuevo capítulo en su historia con un extraordinario diamante de 33 quilates, una piedra extraordinaria que ilumina la pieza central de la colección de Alta Joyería 2022 . Valérie Messika se atreve a asumir un desafío inesperado al crear Akh-Ba-Ka, un conjunto con un diseño inherentemente inspirado en la mitología y el estilo del antiguo Egipto, concebido en diamantes y oro blanco. Los diamantes heroicos que aparecen en el juego son 15 gemas excepcionales cortadas del mismo diamante en bruto de 110 quilates.

En la mitología del antiguo Egipto, KA simboliza la energía vital y BA representa la transformación, desde el vuelo hasta el más allá. De la unión de estas fuerzas brota AKH, la transfiguración de una persona hacia la luz. Por lo tanto Akh-Ba-Ka es trascendencia, una epopeya fascinante de un diamante en bruto, así como una historia de transmisión, familia y saber hacer único.

Explore las piedras excepcionales que son la esencia de esta creación haciendo clic aquí

EL RENACIMIENTO DE UNA PIEDRA EN BRUTO EXTRAORDINARIA

El diamante de 110 quilates es una audaz aventura que comenzó en la mina Lucara en Botswana.

El mapeo de la composición modular es seguido por el momento de la metamorfosis de esta gema en bruto de 110 quilates en 15 diamantes tallados. Un esfuerzo meticuloso, la precisión del trabajo se inspira en la naturaleza misma del diamante en bruto, que dicta qué formas se deben adoptar. La devoción y la experiencia del comerciante de diamantes se han unido al instinto audaz del diseñador para devolver la vida a este diamante en bruto de 110 quilates en un conjunto de alta joyería increíble y único que marca un hito en la historia de Messika Maison.

UNA MAESTRÍA ÚNICA PARA UN COLLAR EXCEPCIONAL

Una verdadera obra maestra dentro del conjunto, el collar cuenta con 2.550 diamantes, con un total de 71,49 quilates. Su diseño contemporáneo pero progresivo reinterpreta el mítico escarabajo alado egipcio gracias a una ingeniosa combinación de diamantes y oro blanco facetado. En el centro de este extraordinario collar, el diamante de 33 quilates se inserta mediante un sutil juego de colgantes. La fuerza de esta gema proviene de sus extraordinarias propiedades: clasificada D por su color y FI por su claridad. Por lo tanto, esta piedra especial es de una pureza muy rara. Su resplandor incomparable lo hace casi incandescente.

Para sacar lo mejor de un diamante de 33 quilates, se necesitan visión y conocimientos técnicos basados en una artesanía excepcional. La creación de Akh-Ba-Ka requirió más de 1000 horas de trabajo, de cuatro a cinco joyeros a tiempo completo durante 6 meses con 800 pavés de diamantes para el engaste del diamante de 33 quilates. Para esta aventura en el diseño, la Maison ha multiplicado los desafíos diseñando una pieza transformable. La estructura que acuna la piedra de 33 quilates se puede separar del collar para convertirse en un broche. Otro desafío más brillantemente asumido por los maestros joyeros.

Jumeirah Group Joins the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance for a More Responsible Future

United Arab Emirates, Dubai, January 2023: Jumeirah Group has become the newest member of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, joining forces with other world-leading hotel brands and partners to address key challenges and collectively accelerate towards a more responsible industry.

Operating a range of initiatives spanning both the environment and community engagement, the luxury hospitality leader and member of Dubai Holding is bolstering its commitment to sustainability through this partnership. Its eco initiatives include working to eliminate single-use plastics, beginning with the removal of plastic straws and transitioning to sustainable packaging across their properties and restaurants. In addition, the Group has begun to roll out onsite water bottling and filtration systems providing guests with safe bottled drinking water in glass or reusable bottles and preventing over nine million single-use plastic bottles from reaching landfills and the ocean per year.

Jumeirah Group has also played a pivotal role in protecting biodiversity through the Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project, releasing 2,050 rehabilitated turtles back to their natural habitat since its inception in 2004, combined with free environmental education programmes for school children. Other initiatives include setting up an on-site hydroponic farm to supply fresh produce to their restaurants which uses 70% less water per yield, and implementing innovative food tech systems to not only help reduce waste but also convert the waste to fertiliser for local use.

The Group is also focused on gender equality and community engagement. Through its partnership with Evolvin Women, it invites female placements from developing nations and provides training to build the skillsets for successful hospitality careers in their home countries, raising the economic potential within their own communities. The company, which recently appointed Katerina Giannouka as its first female CEO, also has robust corporate governance, combined with learning and development programmes, to support equal opportunity, gender parity, equal pay and other indicators of gender equality.

By joining the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, Jumeirah Group has become part of the world’s leading responsible hospitality network, which brings together 40% of the industry by rooms along with strategic and supply chain partners to create shared solutions for environmental and social challenges. Their work includes climate action, water stewardship and responsible resourcing, alongside human rights, employability and equity, diversity and inclusion.

Thomas B. Meier, Chief Operating Officer of Jumeirah Group said: “Jumeirah Group is committed to identifying and co-creating new ways to incorporate sustainable and inclusive practices across our business ecosystem, to shape the best possible future where everyone can thrive. The hospitality industry touches many communities and industries worldwide, and we believe we have the opportunity with the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance to bring about transformative change, by working alongside our industry peers and finding practical solutions that will ultimately set the foundations for long term value creation and sustainable growth.”

Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, added: “Each new member brings a unique perspective and set of experiences which complement our existing community of responsible businesses, which enables us to better support the wider hotel industry around the world – at all stages of their sustainability journeys. We are delighted to welcome Jumeirah Group to the Alliance and look forward to their insights and contribution as, together, we support the industry to achieve net positive hospitality.”

This can only be done right, if the investment advisor has made an educated decision in sourcing, reviewing and structuring the deal, in a way that will benefit your investment.

HOW RESILIENT WAS THE UK REAL ESTATE MARKET BEFORE COVID 19

As you all know the UK market is one of the strongest markets in the world, attracting thousands to invest in prime areas. In 2019 the national housing price growth come to a standstill due the lack of supply, this was a positive for landlords as the rental growth saw a slight increase during 2019 due to declining availability of homes to let. So, this just shows there was a Supply vs Demand issue that we were facing.

The private rents in London on average rose by 0.9% in nominal terms in the year to June 2019 (ONS). This is up from -0.2% in June 2018 and marks seven consecutive months of positive nominal rental growth.

DID THE PANDEMIC IMPACT THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

The whole world was on a standstill and the property prices fell sharply after the onset of COVID-19 when the ockdown measures restricted the completion of property transactions.However, they quickly recovered, reaching a new record peak by November 2020.

These increases were mainly driven by the policies introduced early on to support businesses, household incomes and the housing market. These boosts to demand interacted with the decades- long under supply of housing – exacerbated by even worse than usual construction levels in Q2 2020.

Movement restrictions introduced in the second quarter of the year followed by the gradual easing of restrictions and the subsequent introduction of a property transaction tax holiday in July 2020 (which was due to run until March 2021) have made 2020 an unusual year in the housing market.

HMRC estimates pointed towards a 14.9% yearon-year increase in UK residential property transactions over 2021-22 (1,374,050), with annual volumes reaching their highest level since 2007- 08 (1,473,950) and year-on-year growth in the post-financial crisis era surpassed only by that in 2013-14 (22.8%).

Despite transaction volumes contracting for three consecutive quarters through Q4 2021, from the record high of Q2 2021 and as a combination of temporary stimulus support being wound down and exponential growth in house prices pressured affordability for many, quarterly transaction volumes remained both above or in line with the long-term average, and above levels recorded during the lockdown nadir through near-term post-lockdown recovery period.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE MARKET NOW

As a result of the fall and the subsequent recovery of London rents during the pandemic, annual increases in average asking rents were at a high of 15.8% in the second quarter of 2022, with Rightmove recording the highest annual growth ever in any region.

Demand for private rental homes remains above supply in London and there are signs that both supply and demand are continuing to increase slowly, despite reports of many landlords considering leaving the market.

According to the House Price Index from the ONS, London house prices rose by 7.9% over the year to April, up from 4.9% annual growth in March. The average house price was highest in
Kensington & Chelsea at £1.5 million, and lowest in Barking & Dagenham at £336,000.

Por lo tanto, Piaget estaba preparado para anular las convenciones de la industria al ofrecer un enfoque deportivo y relajado de la elegancia de la relojería las 24 horas del día que cautivó a los EE. UU.

El emblemático Calendario Perpetuo

La icónica colección Piaget Polo ahora da la bienvenida por primera vez a un calendario perpetuo mecánico, una complicación emblemática en la que Piaget ha desarrollado una experiencia considerable que ya se ha desplegado en algunas de sus otras líneas de relojes. Diseñados para adelantar el día, la fecha y el año hasta el año 2100 (meses, fases lunares y ciclo de año bisiesto), los relojes con calendario perpetuo atraen de forma natural a un público exigente y perspicaz, personas conocedoras que aprecian la suma del saber hacer de la alta relojería . incorporados en tales modelos.

Relojería ultrafina pionera

Piaget ha construido su reputación primero en el desarrollo y fabricación de componentes ultraplanos y luego en el desarrollo de movimientos ultraplanos. Combinando destreza relojera, diseño de alta precisión y creatividad audaz, el movimiento interno 12P lanzado en 1960 fue el más plano del mundo porque se basó en la idea de utilizar un microrotor para garantizar su ultradelgadez. Cincuenta años después, este calibre dio lugar a su vez a la nueva generación del calibre 1200P.

Para el nuevo calibre ultraplano de 4 mm 1255P de Piaget, la Manufactura se basó en el calibre ultraplano 1200P con su extrema delgadez y su probada fiabilidad, al tiempo que añadió un calendario perpetuo adicional con mecanismo de fase lunar. Con un grosor total de solo 8,65 mm, el nuevo Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin de 42 mm lleva el universo a la muñeca al mismo tiempo que conserva el ambiente alegre de la alta vida que hace alarde de esta colección fabulosamente festiva y colorida.

Fluidez icónica

El Piaget Polo Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin presenta una esfera de color verde esmeralda oscuro con un diseño de galón y tres subesferas para la fecha, el mes (junto con la indicación del año bisiesto) y el día de la semana a las 9, 12 y 3 en punto, junto con el Indicación de fase lunar a las 6 en punto. Fieles a la tradición de Piaget, las subesferas incorporan varios acabados, añadiendo riqueza visual a medida que la luz juega sobre ellas, junto con Super-Luminova ^® índices Si bien conserva los gallones que forman parte de la firma Piaget Polo desde 1979 en ambas cajas, el vínculo estético entre la nueva generación de Piaget Polo y sus predecesores se ve reforzado por la reaparición de los gallones en el brazalete. Otras mejoras se relacionan con un nuevo sistema SingleTouch intercambiable para el brazalete, ya que el modelo viene con una cómoda alternativa de correa de caucho, que hace eco del patrón de gadroon en el dial, que diversifica las opciones de uso de manera fácil pero segura.

Un legado de distinción sin esfuerzo

El encuentro por excelencia entre la alta relojería y el uso diario, el Piaget Polo se desliza a la perfección del día a la noche, de lo público a lo privado. Siempre encajando, nunca mezclando, ofrece una narrativa contemporánea para las identidades más audaces y versátiles. El nuevo Piaget Polo continúa personificando la alegre mezcla de comodidad, sofisticación y extravagancia que ha forjado su renombre. Para Piaget, el estilo es un regalo. Un séptimo sentido. Algo que no se puede aprender ni comprar. Sea cual sea el lugar, sea cual sea el momento, sin dejar de ser fiel a su distinción sin esfuerzo, Piaget Polo es una invitación a liberar la versatilidad y la autoexpresión personales, encendiendo una capacidad única para encajar y sobresalir.

ALTA FRECUENCIA EN TODO EL ESPECTRO: ZENITH PRESENTA UNA CAJA “ULTRA COLOR” DE 8 MODELOS DEFY 21 CON CARGA CROMÁTICA

Ya se trate de esferas de colores vibrantes en la década de 1970 o de movimientos revolucionarios terminados con tonos llamativos en sus creaciones más recientes, ZENITH nunca ha rehuído explorar los cromatismos de maneras nuevas y atrevidas.

A través del DEFY 21, el primer modelo en albergar el innovador movimiento de cronógrafo El Primero de 1/100 de segundo de ZENITH, ZENITH buscó expresar la noción de precisión de alta frecuencia a través de frecuencias de luz y colores. Esta idea cobró vida por primera vez con el DEFY 21 Ultraviolet en 2020, que estableció un nuevo código de diseño para el DEFY 21 que ZENITH ahora expresa completamente este concepto con la caja DEFY 21 Ultra Color.

La esfera abierta presenta contadores de cronógrafo en relieve que combinan con el tono gris de la caja, debajo de los cuales se aplican vibrantes colores metálicos en la parte menos esperada del reloj: el movimiento.a

Luminoso y transparente con un encanto casi cristalino, el conjunto Ultra Box se entrega en una caja de presentación de acrílico transparente, con un efecto iridiscente que refracta la luz para mostrar diferentes colores según el ángulo de la luz. Cada uno de los relojes está grabado en la parte posterior de la caja con un número de edición limitada de 8, y cada caja contará con relojes numerados secuencialmente del 1 al 8, en lugar de tener el mismo número para los ocho relojes en una sola caja.
