Ahead of the 2017 SIHH (Salon International De La Haute Horlogerie) in Geneva, the participating luxury watchmakers have unveiled a preview of their new launches at the prestigious event.
Van Cleef & Arpels
It?s all about nature as Van Cleef & Arpels looks set to present the Lady Arpels Papillon Automate watch. A showcase of enameling mastery, the dial features a butterfly motif with wings that flutter automatically or on demand through a push-button. Elsewhere, blue, mauve and violet sapphires bedeck the face alongside round and pear-shaped diamonds to create a stunning nature-inspired backdrop.

Parmigiani
Parmigiani will present the new Tonda Metrographe, a reinvention of the well-known Tonda line,  with a  more dynamic design with stronger proportions and several new indications. The PF315 self-winding movement with chronograph module powers the new Métrographe. Meticulously finished with Cotes de Genève bridges, the 351-part caliber offers hours, minutes and small seconds (at 3:00) along with a date indicator. The ¼-second chronograph features a 12-hour counter, a 30-minute counter and a large seconds hand. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers 42 hours of power reserve. The 40 mm case is offered in steel and there is a choice of either black or white dial, with coordinated lightweight leather strap or stainless steel bracelet.
