"The 44-mm Big Bang Tourbillon GOAT Edition's case is a special Hublot-developed composite made from Lacoste polos and Head tennis racquets (yes, really), reinforced by a mid-case of Titaplast (the world's strongest polymer). Then there's a three-dimensional main plate that looks like racquet strings, as well as a tennis-ball-shaped power reserve barrel. We're not done yet! The white leather strap is supposed to mimic a racquet grip,"
"The original Tiffany Timer, actually called the "Timing Watch," was a chronograph pocket watch that came out 160 years ago, in 1866. This piece is now informing the design on Tiffany's new offering, which is limited to just 60 pieces. Now the Timer comes in a 40-mm platinum case, but the winning aesthetic is secured by the Tiffany Blue lacquer on the dial, consisting of 15 layers, which incidentally alone takes more than two days to finish."
"Now on to an actual Zenith, one that is full of retro charm. The original Defy A3643 came out in 1969 (the same year Zenith launched its El Primero caliber, no less), but now it's returning in 37-mm, 14-sided "Revival" form. Unlike the original model, which had a solid case back, the Revival is fitted with a sapphire display back, revealing the Elite 670 automatic movement with a power reserve of 50 hours."
Hublot's 44-mm Big Bang Tourbillon GOAT Edition uses a composite made from Lacoste polos and Head tennis racquets, a Titaplast mid-case, a racquet-string–like main plate, a tennis-ball–shaped power-reserve barrel, a strap mimicking a racquet grip, and colors referencing grass, clay, and hard courts, priced at $121,000. The Tiffany Timer, limited to 60 pieces, is a 40-mm platinum watch with a 15-layer Tiffany Blue lacquer dial, baguette diamond indexes, three subdials, a date at six, and a Zenith El Primero 400 movement with a 50-hour reserve, priced at $55,000. Zenith's Defy Revival A3643 returns in 37-mm, 14-sided form with a sapphire display back revealing the Elite 670 automatic and a 50-hour reserve.
