Trilobe’s new Une Folle Journée editions
The Folle Journée, Trilobe’s most ambitious design, gets an update. The signature X-Centric calibre now features rhodium-finished bridges, revealing every detail of the dial’s three-dimensional construction, while a vibrant touch of green now offers a fresh perspective on time without disrupting its markers. Available at €23,500 with a leather strap, 48-hour power reserve and 10.2mm-tall domed sapphire front.
Impulsion is back
Technology meets artistry in another masterpiece by Louis Moinet. Joining the Impulsion series this year is the Impulsion Titanium Onyx, a Grade 5 titanium watch that’s limited to just 12 pieces. Featuring three-dimensional architecture with the most intricate mechanisms, the watch comes alive with a robust Memoris calibre that features a manual double-barrel winding system known as the volte-face.
Guerlain’s ode to spring
Guerlain once again pays homage to the muguet, a perennial that’s also known as lily of the valley. The new Muguet Exceptional Rendezvous, a dreamlike spring symphony with gentle accents of freshly picked flowers, comes in a daring edition of the Bee Bottle that’s the work of artist Yann Philippe and artificial intelligence. Available at S$1,300 starting this 1 April 2025.
An icon, reinterpreted
Born nearly 60 years ago from founder Fred Samuel and his sons’ shared passion for sailing, Fred’s Force 10 is a must-have collection that’s ever-growing. Fred continues to shape its history with Force 10 Rise, a new chapter that invites you to take on life’s challenges with grace, elegance and perseverance. Building on its signature aesthetics with a modernity, pieces include a band ring, necklace and two pairs of earrings that lend an unexpected twist.
Diptyque jazzes it up
Orphéon, a legendary 1960s jazz club near the original Diptyque boutique in Paris, is brought back to life with the new Orphéon Eau de Parfum. Warm and reassuring, the scent recalls the burnished wood of the club’s counters and tables with warm cedar tones, alongside tonka bean and juniper berries that conjure up traces of tobacco and gin cocktails.
The scent is available as a 75ml bottle, housed in a fine oak wood case inspired by drinks cabinets; 30ml bottle; and a duo of scented candles for your home.
