The mainstream precious metal materials in the field of watches are mainly gold, rose gold, white gold, and platinum, which have a long history of gold watches, basically since the birth of the watch It is the preferred material for precious metals, but with the aesthetic and fashion trends beginning to change, the sparkling effect of gold is too direct and often associated with "outdated" and "old-fashioned", so many watch consumers are also more inclined to choose, to luxury play with a personalized rose gold, or a more low-key white gold or platinum. Until the past two years, the trend of gold watches has returned, and the gold watch is no longer outdated, but more prominent in the design of the retro and luxury style of the watch, so the following will introduce you to three more distinctive gold watch new works.

Watch review: The 33rd Summer Olympic Games, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, will officially open on July 26 this year. As the official timekeeping partner of the Olympic Games, OMEGA has launched the new Speedmaster Chronoscope "Paris 2024" special edition on the occasion of the 100-day countdown to the Paris Olympic Games.
Inspired by the moonlight of the deep night sky, Moonshine 18K Gold is an exclusive OMEGA precious metal with a softer hue than traditional 18K yellow gold, and is less prone to discolouration due to its unique composition including silver, copper and palladium. When it is combined with the Speedmaster Chronoscope, it is actually in an elegant gold tone, which strengthens the retro style of the watch because of the "spiral" track pattern dial design, which can be seen that the three layers inside and outside the dial are respectively assembled tachymeter scale, pulse meter scale and distance measurement scale, superimposed Moonshine 18K gold hour markers, and the hands of the same color, it is more elegant as a whole. Powered by the OMEGA hand-wound Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 9908, it is resistant to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss, a silicon balance spring and two barrels connected in series, providing a 60-hour power reserve when fully wound and water-resistant to 50 metres.

Watch Comments: Piaget's new Polo 79 watch I personally think it is the most important new work at the beginning of the year, the design of the watch is completely based on the replication of the original Polo, but also just to highlight the retro style, Piaget will be the luxury of gold to the extreme. Even though the new version is compared with the original, Piaget still adjusts some details, but it retains the original feeling to the greatest extent, such as the adjustment reflected in the new watch diameter, which has been increased to 38 mm. In the past two years, the retro style has become popular, not only the big gold watch is popular, but the small diameter is also reviving, but compared with the small size of the original, the adjusted 38 mm is more flattering, it will not be too small, but also retains the exquisite style, which is more in line with the aesthetics and wearing needs of the current watch market.
I have also talked to my cousins before that the Polo 79 is particularly like a small gold nugget, with a strong sense of wholeness, but in fact, the polished horizontal stripes are made by Piaget with a separate gold nugget section, which is polished by hand and then embedded in the case and bracelet. This operation is also carried out by Piaget in its Geneva goldsmithing workshop, thanks to the skilled skills of a team of expert master goldsmiths. The benefits of making horizontal grain inserts are obvious, so that it forms a clear contrast with the large area of satin polishing of the whole table, enhances the luxury of the watch, and is handmade, the delicacy brought by the traditional metalworking decoration is really good, this complex case treatment, Piaget directly with other luxury sports watches, formed its own characteristics and differentiation, but also for the audience of the watch, that is, collectors, that is undoubtedly more complicated manual craftsmanship, will get their favor. The Flip through the back reveals the Piaget 1200P1 calibre, an ultra-thin pearl top movement measuring just 2.35 mm with an extremely fine finish.

Watch Review: Just last month, during the Watches & Wonders show, Cartier brought back the TORTUE Monobutton Chronograph, which is also very difficult to get started with, and it does not make it easy for those who missed the CPCP Monobutton Chronograph to realize their dreams, but we are still happy to see Cartier relaunch this classic.
As the eighth piece of the Cartier Privé collection, the Tortue is now a monochrome chronograph that does not have the original CPCP choice of white gold, but uses two precious metals, gold and platinum. Judging from the actual photos of the gold model, the size of the watch first follows the size of the original CPCP version, which is still 34.8X43.7 mm, which is a little larger than the original turtle back case in 1928, but combined with the thickness of 10.2 mm, it is still a delicate and compact dress watch. The yellow gold crown is set with a sapphire and, when pressed, starts, stops and resets the chronograph function. The new dial design Cartier has also made some minor adjustments, such as the double-eye chronograph dial is larger, the guilloché pattern has been removed, and the dial has been made simpler. In terms of movement, Cartier specially developed a special movement 1928MC for the watch, this tonneau-shaped movement, first of all, in terms of shape, adapted to the turtle back case, but also used the classic combination of cylindrical wheel and horizontal clutch.
Summary: The above three new gold watch works have been introduced to the watch friends, it is not difficult to see that in the fashion trend of gold watches, the primary design theme of each brand is to use gold to play retro style, with luxurious and dazzling visual effects to reinterpret the classic aesthetics of the last century. Although watches are precious metal choices, there are indeed factors that are very difficult to buy and difficult to buy, but it does not prevent us from appreciating and understanding them. So I don't know which of the above works you like from your cousins, and we will give you a detailed introduction through real pictures when we have the opportunity.
