From a revered watchmaker’s all-time classic to new releases courtesy of your favorite designers, get to know the most noteworthy watches of 2023 as our in-house watch expert, Joao De Brito E Faro, shares the highlights from Frédérique Constant, Versace and more.
‘A timeless shape, underpinned by the brand’s uncompromising attention to detail, is what makes Frédérique Constant’s Classics Heart Beat Moonphase watch so coveted. In an ode to the Art Deco movement, a ‘Clous de Paris’ ornament and traditional Roman numeral indexes elevate the sobriety of the leather strap. The open-heart view into the mechanical movement and detailed moon phase calendar are standout details.’
The expressionist statement
‘Making reference to the house’s Hellenic heritage, the latest iteration of Versace’s Icon Active watch is defined by two unmistakable design tropes — the Greca motif on the bezel and strap, as well as the 3D Medusa Head at the 12-hour position. Updated with a three-hand Indiglo movement, the new orange colorway is a mood-boosting addition to your summer collection.’
‘Gucci’s iconic bumblebee first appeared in the 1970s and has been a recurring presence in the house’s watch offering since 2015. A key design from the G-Timeless collection, this bi-metal 38mm — delivered in a modern mix of gold and silver — is detailed with star-motif markers and the signature interlocking Gs.’
‘With a classic porthole-inspired case, honeycomb dial and unique rose-gold and brown color combination, Philipp Plein’s High-Conic 44mm fuses style and functionality. It serves as a modern take on the timeless chronograph, with tonal subdials enhancing accuracy.’
