Inserted 08/06/2023
The Patek Philippe 5131R is among the most technically and artistically demanding watches in the Geneva manufacture's catalogue — its cloisonné enamel dial depicting a hand-painted world map requires weeks of artisan labor alone.

Journe Tourbillon Souverain Vertical is arguably the most mechanically audacious piece in Journe's catalogue — a vertically oriented tourbillon paired with a remontoir d'égalité that delivers isochronal energy to the escapement every six seconds, visible through a dead-seconds subsidiary dial. The gold dial bears the maker's signature 'Invenit et Fecit' motto — he invented and made it — a statement few watchmakers can honestly claim.

Tennis ace Gaël Monfils, long known as one of the sport's most serious watch collectors, pairs the timepiece with an ornate silver bracelet, letting the yellow gold case and burgundy alligator strap do their quiet, aristocratic work.

Inserted 08/06/2023
The Roger Dubuis RD105SQ houses one of the most technically demanding complications in modern watchmaking: a double flying tourbillon with both cages rotating independently in a fully skeletonized architecture — produced in a run of just eight pieces worldwide. Roger Dubuis is one of very few manufactures to hold the Geneva Seal on every single movement it produces, making this kind of extreme complication doubly significant. French tennis star Gaël Monfils, long known for his bold style both on and off the court, is a natural fit for a piece this theatrically engineered.

Inserted 08/06/2023

Its calibre 215 PS movement measures just 2.55mm thick, making it one of the slimmest manually wound ebauches in the manufacture's arsenal.
