伴隨時分更迭，大膽創新的精神儼然成為世代下不可缺少的產物，以前所未有的形狀、由一塊金屬雕刻出的錶殼，承襲新舊交融下的無比創意、工藝和卓越價值觀，各品牌們正為製錶世界開啟了一條通往未知的康莊大道，分秒書寫歷史新猷。

As time progresses, the spirit of bold innovation has become an indispensable legacy. With unprecedented shapes, the cases carved from metal inherit creativity, craftsmanship and outstanding values. In this very moment, companies from around the world are paving a path to the unknown in the watchmaking industry and writing a new history as every second passes. 

極致纖薄

源於古羅馬建築元素的八角形幾何錶殼，與錶圈形成方中帶圓的強烈對比，為BVLGARI Octo 系列一大特色，兼具瑞士製錶的嚴謹精確與義式美學的優雅大器，與生俱來的雙重特質奠定了寶格麗腕錶的獨具地位。其中 BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days 鏤空八日腕錶完美傳承標誌特色，霸氣宣告金色腕錶的時代再次來臨，全新 BVL 199 SK 手動上鍊機芯展現極致纖薄，長達八日的動力儲存令人驚艷。跳脫於腕間錶款，BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Ultra 以全球性生態系統揭開嶄新視野，運用機械工藝違抗物理法則，延伸至非物理學的世界。其發條盒內棘輪上的 QR Code，為藏家連結至一場探索之旅，沉浸於錶款專屬的世界觀，進而探究背後之設計理念與歷史沿革。

躍動工藝

今年亦是 Gucci 瑞士腕錶五十周年，其瑞士製錶與義大利設計的頂尖合體為眾人所樂道。G-TIMELESS PLANETARIUM 飛行陀飛輪腕錶則為高級製錶領域開創新扉頁，十二顆公主式鑲嵌寶石的光環圍繞錶面，伴隨時間變化閃爍瑰麗光芒，使人不禁沈醉於藍色坦桑石及黃色綠柱石轉盤中，輕按按鈕便能啟動寶石轉盤，展現驚人巧妙的工藝細節。配載最新獨家飛行陀飛輪機芯的 GUCCI 25H 鏤空陀飛輪腕錶，擁有僅八毫米的光滑錶殼和迷人的通透錶面，腕錶圍繞著機芯設計，鏤空指針進而增添視覺層次感，採用百分百再生金打造的白金和黃金鍊帶款式，兼具復古風格與未來色彩。另一吸睛的 G-Timeless Dancing Bees 系列推出全新蛋白石錶盤，運用高超工藝塑造山形圖案，自然紋理使每個錶盤設計獨一無二，錶盤鑲嵌十二隻 18K 白金蜜蜂，隨著手腕輕擺飛舞，展現生命力下的躍動時刻。

突破界限

短短二十個年頭，路易威登卻展現出對製錶的無比深厚熱情，以 Tambour 腕錶永不過時的風格表徵，從經典款式到複雜機芯，著實證明了其製錶領域的純正血統。今年則推出專屬二十週年紀念錶款 Tambour Twenty 腕錶，擁有一眼便能辨別的錶殼，係向鼓狀錶殼結構致敬，深邃喇叭狀外形賦予了佩戴者穩固堅定。此收藏款腕錶另有棕色太陽光芒紋路錶盤，計時碼表的黃色長指標於錶盤上滑行，致敬過往用於皮革製品的縫線，完好呼應品牌經典雋永的設計 DNA。

史詩地圖

以複雜工藝時計向地表與海洋之美獻上最高敬意，低頭觀望，遙想悠久壯闊的馬可波羅遊記和饒富神祕的絲綢之路。全球限量八只的 PIAGET Polo Emperador 18K 白金大月相琺瑯工藝高級複雜腕錶，便擁有如此驚奇能量，搭載伯爵自製 860P 自動上鍊機芯，其月相功能特以遮蔽角度設計呈現，細緻獨具的手工打磨紋理，展現玉盤經歲月洗滌之美。而 PIAGET Polo Gouverneur 18K 白金超薄陀飛輪月相功能手動上鍊腕錶，則以男性的魅力視角，將超薄陀飛輪與極簡約天文月相顯示功能融匯於錶中，如太陽光放射狀的紋理，配以金質細線勾勒邊框，極具分量感的陀飛輪腕錶，油然而生。同樣描繪明月映照大地，PIAGET Limelight Stella 系列 18 K 玫瑰金月相功能高級珠寶腕錶，則以優雅設計比擬白晝與黑夜，美鑽遍布，詮釋眾星拱月之奧妙。

Ultimate Thinness 

Inspired by ancient Roman architecture, the juxtaposing octagonal case and round bezel is a signature of the BVLGARI Octo collection. While it radiates with the precision of Swiss watchmaking and the elegance of Italian aesthetics, it also establishes the house’s distinctive status in watchmaking. Perfectly capturing the brand’s iconic characteristics, the BVLGARI Octo Finissimo Skeleton 8 Days announces the return of gold timepieces. The innovation is powered by a brand new movement, Calibre BVL 199 SK, and delivers a surprisingly massive power reserve that lasts for eight days. Meanwhile, the Octo Finissimo Ultra opens up a whole new horizon with a global and connected ecosystem. Defying the laws of physics with mechanical artisanship, the creation aspires to innovate and push limits. The QR code engraved on the barrel takes collectors on an adventure to explore the worldview exclusive to fine watchmaking whilst discovering the design concept and the history behind it. 

Zestful Craftsmanship 

Celebrating 50 years of making fine timepieces, Gucci continues to bring together Swiss mechanics and Italian design to the world. The latest collection features the G-Timeless Planetarium, a creation that comes with 12 princess-set gemstones around the dial. With a single touch of a button, the gem set wheel—embellished with either blue tanzanite or yellow beryl—rotates around the dial in a gala of light, showcasing details of brilliant craftsmanship. Also a novelty that is only 8mm thick, the Gucci 25H Skeleton Tourbillon comes with a see-through dial showcasing the in-house movement and skeletonized central and minute hands, creating a layering effect that adds depth to the design. Entirely made of recycled materials, its white and yellow gold bracelet exudes a retro-futuristic style. Another addition one cannot miss, the G-Timeless Dancing Bees tourbillon timepiece comes with a new mother-of-pearl dial. The natural texture of the mountain pattern is distinctive to each dial design. Shimmering as the wrist moves, the 12 bees in 18K white gold come to life and capture the zestful moments of life. 

Breaking Limitations

In just twenty years, Louis Vuitton has demonstrated an unparalleled passion towards watchmaking. From classic models to complex movements, the timeless Tambour is a testament to the authenticity of the Maison’s watchmaking heritage. The limited edition Tambour Twenty timepiece celebrates its 20th anniversary with an instantly recognizable flared shape case offering maximum stability and comfort. Its brown sun-brushed dial, along which the chronograph’s long yellow hand glides, pays tribute to the thread historically used in leather goods, a perfect rendition of the French luxury house’s iconic and enduring brand DNA. 

An Epic Exploration 

Paying the highest tribute to the beauty of both land and sea, the intricately crafted timepiece reimagines the majestic travels of Marco Polo and the mysterious Silk Road. Limited to 8 pieces only, the Piaget Emperador Coussin XL Large Moon Enamel in 18K white gold features an 860P self-winding mechanical movement. Its moonphase indicator is shown through a distinctive rotating mask, revealing the breathtaking beauty of the moon’s passage. Meanwhile, from a more masculine perspective, the Piaget Polo Gouverneur in 18K white gold cleverly combines the ultra-thin tourbillon movement with a minimalistic moon indicator. With substantial weight, the novelty also features a sunburst motif dial adorned with gold threads. Also depicting the moonphase, the Piaget Limelight Stella Moonphase watch in 18K rose gold captures the scenery of the day and night with its elegant design and diamond paving, an exploration of the starry night’s profound beauty.
