Bottega Veneta & Girard Perregaux
BVX watch
Bottega Veneta, best known for its high level of artisanal craftsmanship and logo-free take on luxury, has recently launched its first watch, the BVX. The elegantly subtle unisex watch features a dark, brushed-titanium curved case with a brown face and a cigar-coloured crocodile strap. But don’t let the sexy simplicity fool you: inside this chic exterior lies an 18-karat rose gold automatic movement made expressly by Girard Perregaux for Bottega Veneta.

Dunhill & Jaeger LeCoultre
Mother of Pearl Facet watch
This exquisite 50mm timepiece features a grey mother of pearl dial, stylishly complimented by a handsome dark grey shagreen leather strap. It may look somewhat avantgarde but the reality is that both of these materials are iconic for the Dunhill brand and have, like the Facet watch silhouette itself, been part of the Dunhill design landscape since the 1930s. Jaeger LeCoultre’s contribution reveals itself within the watches internals, inhabited by the brand’s 822 movement.

Jaeger LeCoultre & Aston Martin
AMVOX2 DB9 Transponder watch
This titanium watch is the most recent addition to an exclusive range of timepieces created jointly by Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin. Aside from the fact that it is handsome and flawlessly executed, it features a touch-sensitive sapphire crystal face: touch the glass where it says ‘open’ or ‘close’ and it locks and unlocks your car. Press both at the same time and the doors stay locked, but it will help you find your car by turning on the headlamps. That’s a slick trick.

Breitling & Bentley
Bentley GMT chronograph
To celebrate Bentley’s launch of the new Continental GT, Breitling for Bentley has issued a 1,000-piece limited edition, black dial, stainless steel GMT chronograph, distinguished by its flange (on the rotating pinion bezel) and rubber strap clad in British Racing Green. The movement is a Breitling Calibre 47B, which features a 24-hour second time zone via the adjustable red hand that is accessed through a push-piece integrated into the left side of the case.

Jean Richard & MV Agusta
MV Agusta Brutale Nera
This 43mm chronograph has a sporty, masculine design, and is, just as the name suggests, inspired by the MV Agusta Brutale motorcycle. The internal mechanics feature a Jean Richard 1000 Calibre self-winding movement, which can be viewed through the smoky transparent back. The case is titanium although it gains a matt black hue thanks to a PVD treatment. The blackness of the dial, the face and the calfskin strap is beautifully offset by touches of red. Only 290 pieces will ever be made.
