Autumn is a special time of the year. This is, in particular, the case when it is an "Indian Summer." With the colors of the leaves already changing but the weather still warm, it creates a unique atmosphere. The following four watches are perfect for this occasion. While they differ quite a bit, they all share that their cases are made from pink gold, giving them a rich, golden luster.

La Esmeralda is an important name in the history of Girard-Perregaux, as it was given to a pocket watch they made for the "World's Fair" of 1889 in Paris. This exquisite timepiece, finely engraved and fitted with a tourbillon and three gold bridges, won the gold medal. Although currently again in the museum collection of Girard-Perregaux, it was initially sold to Porfirio Diaz (1830-1915), then the President of Mexico. As the manufacture is celebrating its 230th anniversary, it felt appropriate to bring back the spirit of this unique pocket watch in a modern-day creation.

Grand Seiko finds a lot of inspiration in nature around its Shinshu Watch Studio in Japan, the place where all Spring Drive models come to life. For their latest model, the brand captured the spirit of Shizuri-yuki. This is the natural phenomenon when freshly fallen snow cascades down from the branches, creating a spectacular play of light. As we have grown accustomed of Grand Seiko, they translated this beauty in the most sophisticated way in a timepiece, in which design and craftsmanship go hand in hand.

Diamonds can add something to a watch, but how much depends significantly on their setting. They can merely serve as a precious element, or they can elevate the entire timepiece to a higher level altogether. An excellent example of the latter is Breguet's latest addition to their collection, the Tradition 7035. Here the diamonds are quite literally integrated into the design of the watch, creating a sparkling symbiosis of precious stones with mechanical excellence.

The biggest challenge for any watchmaker is to create a design that defies and defines time simultaneously. With its new Tonda PF collection, Parmigiani takes it on and makes a clear case for a return to elegance. Clean lines, attention to detail, and refined movements make these watches a compelling proposition for any watch connoisseur. With their integrated bracelets, they wear like a piece of jewelry, oozing exclusivity in a more chic, restraint way.

To commemorate the company's founding 140 years ago, Grand Seiko is adding another two models to its anniversary collection. Both are powered by Caliber 9RA2, the innovative Spring Drive movement that Grand Seiko developed for the occasion. It takes this unique technology to new heights with a slimmer design, thanks to a redesign and repositioning of many parts. Thanks to two mainspring barrels, the caliber has a power reserve of an impressive 120 hours, which it indicates on the back of the watch. The IC has also been updated and comes with a built-in temperature sensor. This allows for an accuracy of around 10 seconds per month.

Within the collection of A. Lange & Söhne, the Lange 1 holds a unique position. After being introduced 27 years ago, it quickly became almost synonymous with the brand. With its prominent case and asymmetrical dial, it also quickly achieved the status of an icon. Not surprisingly, as it combines its good looks with a superb movement, both in design, execution, as well as finish. What might come as a surprise is that the Lange 1 was never available with just a perpetual calendar but always combined it with other complications. With the Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar, this all changes and brings A. Lange & Söhne this complication in its purest form to its signature collection.

When you say Zenith to a watch enthusiast, he or she cannot help but immediately think of El Primero. This automatic chronograph movement was groundbreaking when launched in 1969, but as Zenith has continued developing it, it is still as enticing today. Because of that is has become one of the gold standards for chronograph movements. It was even for years good enough for Rolex to power its iconic Daytona before they developed a chronograph movement of its own. Earlier this year, Zenith launched the new Chronomaster Sport, a watch that seems to go head-to-head with exactly the Daytona. Until now, it was only available in stainless steel, but that changes with the launch of the pink gold model.

In watchmaking, a millimeter more or less can make all the difference. This year, Cartier is launching the Ballon Bleu in a new 40mm large case. With this, 'La Maison' keeps the watch in line with current trends and on point in terms of design. Initially launched in 2007 has the Ballon Bleu quickly become one of the best-selling models of Cartier, and one of the pillars of the brand's watchmaking collection. Thanks to its pebble-shaped case, is it one of the most comfortable watches to wear, while its crown guard gives it a unique appearance.

The list of complications in which Jaeger-LeCoultre specializes is almost endless. In 1946, the brand made its first tourbillon, then still in a pocket watch, but from 1993 it was also introduced in a wristwatch. While Jaeger-LeCoultre loves to innovate, as they did, in 2004, by making the Gyrotourbillon 1, the world's first spherical, dual-axis tourbillon, they never forget the traditional tourbillon either.

Especially since we are moving into autumn, the appeal of warm colored gold seems to be at a height. These hues have an even warmer tint and glow to it than traditional 18 karat yellow gold. Its popularity has been on the rise for quite a few years now, and many brands utilize its rich appearance to create exceptional watches. But what are these types of gold exactly?

There is a lot to say for the discrete color of white gold, but sometimes you just want gold to be gold. You want the pure look of yellow gold or the rich tones of rose gold, and not only for the case but for the bracelet as well. Sometimes you want to go all in, and these watches are all the way with you for that!

Earlier this year Cartier had quite a few surprises for us in store: not only did they release an updated version of the Santos de Cartier, but they also introduced a skeleton version which was not only available in pink gold but also in stainless steel.

Girard-Perregaux announced the launch of the Vintage 1945 Tourbillon with three gold Bridges to retail for $215,000. The timepiece case is fashioned in pink gold, which strikes a contrast with the color of the main plate, and the barrel, lower gearwheel bridges and other bridge supports adapted a matte anthracite coating—the result of a particular […]
