Dior Homme Chiffre Rouge I03


Following the fabulous I02 version in white gold, Dior Homme has unveiled the new Chiffre Rouge I03 in brushed gold, a new chronograph that further shakes up the codes of luxury watches.

Combining exceptional luxury and flawless performance, the Chiffre Rouge I03 is a noble celebration of the Dior universe.

A true marvel of technical prowess, the watch boasts features that will enthrall novices and collectors alike.

The Chiffre Rouge I03 is made of the most precious materials, melding the gentle softness of brushed gold with transparent sapphires.
Set with diamonds on the dial and winding mechanism, this unique watch is a pure expression of timeless luxury.

The "Irréductible" caliber measures time to 1/10th of a second, guaranteeing unwavering reliability and precision. The automatic chronograph has been produced in a limited edition by the celebrated Manufacture Zenith and is certified COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).

The innovative asymmetric design of the case puts all the controls on the right side.

The fluid form - materialized by the shape of a pebble - is enhanced by smoothed angles and a convex glass, making the timepiece a sublimely beautiful object.

The ultra-flexible band is a natural extension of the curved lines to harmoniously envelop the wrist.

The Chiffre Rouge I03 subtly integrates Dior Homme codes, including the "cuts" on the band and clasp. A solitary diamond is hidden on the back side of the case, like an intimate, secret and exclusive signature.

Preciously elegant and resolutely contemporary, the new Chiffre Rouge by Dior Homme is a new classic in sophisticated watches for men.

1905 Chronograph by Gerald Genta for Ritz Fine Jew


In 2007, Ritz Fine Jewellery, London approached M. Gerald Genta with a view to creating a small series of timepieces that combined simple, elegant lines, the best materials and the highest possible level of finish – at the heart of each a movement that would delight even the most knowledgeable and discerning of aficionados. The result is a remarkable feat of watch making skill. Drawing inspiration from no watch that had ever gone before but rather assimilating architectural, cultural and social elements from The Ritz Hotel in London, Genta has created three ranges, each comprising a date model, a chronograph model and a tourbillon model.

Available in a choice of precious metals, the entire collection amounts to just 15 watches, each of which is limited to a numbered edition of one. The dial of each watch has purposely been left blank, free from any form of branding – allowing the collector to personalise the piece (with if desired a motif designed by Genta himself). If the dial is to be personalised, the details of what is required will be carefully considered before a lead time is confirmed. Testimony to Genta’s pride in this extraordinary work, he has for the first time allowed his signature to be engraved on each watch. This self-winding 1905 Chronograph is one of only 15 pieces in the collection. Named after the year in which construction began on hotelier Cesar Ritz's Chateau-style hotel in London's Piccadilly, this cushion-shaped design features an upper case in the form of a 'soft square'. Sapphire crystal with sapphire set winding crown in 18ct white gold (the customer has a choice of fine crocodile coloured straps on a white gold deployment clasp), it is available only through 20ltd.com and is limited to a numbered edition of one.
