A proud panther, a handsome blue jay, a placid lion, horses dressed with plumes and a sturdy bulldog… welcome to watchmaking's animal kingdom!

Jaeger-LeCoultre continues its revamp of the Master Control collection with two interpretations of the Memovox, the legendary alarm watch that debuted in 1950. As chiming watches, they are part of a long tradition that the Manufacture is emphasising this year.

The two independents have unveiled the result of an unprecedented collaboration, each borrowing signature elements from the other to produce two co-signed watches: an Endeavour from H. Moser & Cie. and an LM 101 from MB&F.

At once graphic, cartographic and hemispherical, the Globetrotter Night gives its display of world times over to the night. Beneath a crystal dome, this timepiece plays on nocturnal nuances and city lights.

A passionate admirer of Japanese culture, it was only natural for Michel Parmigiani to design a very elegant timepiece to celebrate hanami, the Japanese custom of admiring the beauty of flowers, in his own unique way.

The refinement of the rose gold case of the new Slim d’Hermès GMT crisscrosses the globe. Its blue dial bearing a deliciously light font is revealed through a smoked glass. Indications move to the tune of the ultra-thin Manufacture Hermès H1950 movement and its exclusive – likewise ultra-thin – GMT module.

Salmon or champagne-coloured dials, box crystals, two-tone cases… neo-vintage is as popular as ever, with a strong input from mid-twentieth-century styles.
