Backes & Strauss has collaborated with London-based bespoke watch specialist Splendore Unique to reimagine the iconic oval-shaped Regent Backes & Strauss timepieces. Arabic-Hindi numerals have been applied using a décalque technique, which requires artisans to hand-paint them by tracing. Choose from five colours: British Racing Green, Backes Blue, Red, Burgundy or Black. Well, if you can get your hands on one. Each colour is limited to just ten pieces.

Congratulations to Patek Philippe, which announced the opening of its new ten-storey manufacturing facility this summer. To celebrate, Patek has launched a limited-edition stainless-steel Calatrava, referencing the symbol of the 12th-century Calatrava Knights of Spain and Portugal, which retails for US$28,351. The commemorative 40 mm timepiece is made from stainless steel (not unlike the new manufacture) and comes with a beautiful blue dial that features a carbon-style texture. Only 1,000 pieces will be made, so get yours—quick!

When MB&F’s Maximilian Büsser and L’Epée 1839’s Arnaud Nicolas announced they were joining forces, nobody could have anticipated the resulting timepiece: Destination Moon. This rocket-shaped artwork doubles as a clock, and comes with a fun spaceman made from silver, which magnetically attaches to the spaceship’s boarding ladder. Available in five limited editions of 50 pieces each: choose from black-, green-, red-, blue- or silver-coloured engines. To infinity, and beyond!
