Evoking the snow-capped peaks of the highest mountain in the African continent is the Gefica Kilimanjaro from Gerald Genta. Just like a snowstorm in Africa, the watch will be a rare occurrence – only 100 pieces will be made. Unique to this watch is the choice of bronze for the case. The manufacturer believes in the beauty of bronze, especially the character that it acquires over time. The Biretro movement performs a number of fun complications such as jumping hours as well as retrograde minutes and date. Power reserve for the Gerald Genta movement is up to 45 hours. $TBA.

Ever wished you could see the exact moment when the hour passes by? I mean, right at the very instant the minute hand reaches 60 minutes and begins a brand-new hour? Well, Bovet grants your wish and introduces this Fleurier model with the jumping hour complication. The center of the watch reveals the hour indicator disk and around the rim is the minute ring. When the white arrow for the minutes reaches 60, the hour dial jumps instantaneously to the next, with no in-betweens. Everything that’s happening in the watch is proudly displayed behind the sapphire crystal, including the self-winding caliber 13BA04 movement and the handcrafted module bridges. The 42mm case can be in white or rose gold and the dials can be ordered according to your taste. $TBD.
