New releases from Glashütte Original, Kollokium, Chopard and more

Pietro Pilla

I stand by my opinion that brands are increasing their creativity by a few notches. People like what is different, and it shows, especially in the past week’s releases: Glashütte Original working together with Germany’s most famous porcelain maker to deliver hand-painted dials, Chopard exploring its Métiers d’Art for a Japan-themed collection, Kollokium’s latest, most sculptural design… While Girard-Perregaux and Louis Vuitton turn to the past with some of their best products to date, Cartier looks to the future by using titanium in its first-ever mainline Santos model. Discover our complete selection below and enjoy the reading!

Glashütte Original Senator Meissen

• Glashütte Original unveils a trio of limited editions in collaboration with the renowned porcelain manufactory Meissen.
• As you probably guessed, the contribution of the porcelain brand is the hand-painted porcelain dials, which are then set in red gold cases.
• While the two monochrome editions are limited to 150 pieces, the colourful Collage edition is part of a series of only eight pieces.
• Price: from €30,700.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato FIFTY

• Girard-Perregaux celebrates half a century of the Laureato, releasing a limited edition inspired by the original model from 1975.
• In my opinion, this is the best Laureato yet, with stellar proportions and the removal of the GP monogram at 12, making for a much cleaner dial.
• This is a 200-piece run, offered in a very captivating two-tone colourway, with a grey clous de Paris dial.
• Price: US$28,320.
