The Revival of Daniel Roth’s Legendary Ellipsocurvex Case

I have always adored the Ellipsocurvex case from Daniel Roth. That is the name of the shape you see on these pages, although the brand now prefers to use a name that came before that: Double Ellipse. Half rectangle, half circle, it is a unique take on what a shape or form watch can be. Usually, anyone venturing outside the square, rectangle, or tonneau verges on the freakish. And yet, there is something fascinating about the quintessential Daniel Roth case. By any metric, it is weird and magnificent at the same time. It is a defining trait of the Daniel Roth Tourbillon, more than any other because if you object to it, your desire will instantly disappear. So, for those of you who are still around, let me tell you how special this timepiece is in watchmaking history.

One of The First

Back in the 1980s, there were but a metaphorical handful of watchmakers still working on high complications. Even fewer worked on the tourbillon, which was a historical oddity at the time, and only a literal handful of pieces were manufactured each year. Just like his peers Franck Muller, François-Paul Journe or George Daniels, the watchmaker Daniel Roth created a tourbillon movement, one of the first of contemporary times, except this one was for the wrist. At the time, he was an employee of a manufacture called Nouvelle Lemania. This storied firm mainly made chronographs, especially for its biggest client, Breguet but also for everyone who used what are today known as Lemania calibres. That is the Breguet from before it was acquired by Swatch Group and therefore, a small outfit. In fact, both Breguet and Nouvelle Lemania were acquired by the Swatch Group. The brand still uses the Lemania chronograph calibre today, under the Caliber 558.1 moniker.

In 1988, Daniel Roth set up shop on his own and re-created a version of his tourbillon calibre, based on blanks provided by Nouvelle Lemania. He fitted it into a case he created himself, one so specific it helped establish his name as a brand. Not only that, but he dressed it with a dial that went on to become his other signature: an off-centered subdial for the hours and minutes, forced up at 12 o'clock by the large tourbillon at 6 o'clock. Flanking and crossing said tourbillon is a magnificent, delight-of-the-geeks, bridge, which is affixed to a guilloché surface, reminiscent of Breguet's original style. Think of the Breguet reference 3350, for example. Needless to say, the seconds display was, and still is, quite unique. It is a combination of a three-pronged seconds hand, fitted on the tourbillon carriage, that swipes a triple-scale seconds sector. Daniel Roth, the watchmaker and the brand, was a pioneering member of the small independents squad dedicated to historical watchmaking that traded on the highest finishing standards. Today, these makers and the brands that bear their names are tantamount to royalty.

Return of the Curves

Nevertheless, in 2011, the brand was shelved. It had been acquired by Bulgari before it was bought up by LVMH. Bulgari was in fact after the manufacturing facilities that Daniel Roth shared with another famous, now-also-revived brand, Gérald Genta. Fast-forward to 2023, when Jean Arnault (of the famous Arnault family) claimed the brand for himself, as part of his tenure as head of the watches arm of Louis Vuitton. The new Daniel Roth’s first move was to make a “Souscription,” 20-units series in yellow gold. This effectively meant you had to apply first and receive the watch later, if you were lucky enough to have been chosen by the brand's leadership. The second move is this rose gold version you see here that was introduced in the fall of this year.

On the face of it, today's Daniel Roth Tourbillon is a cleaned-up and up-to-speed variation of the 1990s version. Of course, the movement had to change, the original having become unavailable from the Breguet Manufacture, or Lemania for that matter. So, the manufacturing arm of Louis Vuitton, La Fabrique du Temps, led by horological legends Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini, gave it a new engine that they christened calibre DR001. On the outside, i.e. the visible parts of the tourbillon, it has the same appearance as the original. On the inside, it is a completely new thing that is a full 2mm thinner, with 80 hours of power reserve, several gold chatons and gorgeous finishing touches.

The case dimensions have slightly changed and the details are neater, but the essence is still here. Part of that is the mirror-polished long tourbillon bridge resting on pillars, which is the right kind of fan service. Another step in the right direction is the guilloché work, applied on the rose gold dial, which is also designed to revive nostalgia. The last one is something that pictures cannot show and that words cannot properly express: the singular pleasure in putting this watch on. It is unlike anything else out there, and given the size of today's global offering, that is saying something.

2025 Lunar New Year Snake Watches

As the Year of the Wooden Snake dawns on 29 January 2025, it heralds a time of transformation, introspection, and strength. This celestial year is one of profound evolution and self-improvement, making it the perfect backdrop for luxurious timepieces that reflect timeless artistry and bold design, setting new standards in zodiac-inspired horology. As one will come to see, many of these timepieces are limited to just 88 pieces, symbolising good luck while reinforcing an element of exclusivity. LUXUO discovers the finest zodiac-inspired timepieces for the Year of the Wooden Snake.

IWC

IWC introduced its Chinese New Year watch at Watches and Wonders Shanghai 2024 in September. This Portofino model — limited to 500 pieces — features a burgundy dial and an automatic winding rotor shaped like a snake. The design remains largely unchanged from the standard model, with the primary difference being these two distinct elements. This follows a trend seen with previous editions, where burgundy dials were paired with thematically shaped rotors. The approach began with the Pilot’s Chronograph for the Year of the Tiger in 2022, continuing with the Rabbit watch in 2023. The possibility of completing a full 12-year zodiac cycle with specific design elements adds to the appeal for collectors, despite earlier disruptions due to pandemic-related challenges.

Longines

The Conquest Heritage Year of Snake model closely follows the standard Conquest Heritage time-only watch design, with a gradient red domed dial and an engraving of a snake holding a Lingzhi mushroom on the closed caseback. Over the years, Longines has released several zodiac symbol watches following a similar design approach, although the brand does not specify how far back this tradition extends. This limited edition — with 2,025 pieces — has the highest availability among the Longines Chinese New Year models.

Regarding the history of the wide circulation of Lunar New Year watches at Longines, it is possible that the brand only began this tradition last year with the Dragon model, which had a limited run of 888 pieces. The Year of Snake model — like its predecessor — features a collaboration with Chinese artist Wu Jian’an, who conceptualised and executed the motif on the caseback, inspired by The Legend of the White Snake. Similarly, The Dragon watch involved a collaboration with artist Zinan Lam, suggesting that this series may continue as a regular feature for Longines.

Bvlgari's Serpenti Collection

To usher in the Year of the Snake, Bvlgari pays homage to the serpent’s rich symbolism and its deep ties to Chinese culture with the introduction of Serpenti Infinito — a new concept symbolising the transformative power of the snake as a representation of infinity. Continuing the legacy of its iconic emblem, Bvlgari unveils 13 new Serpenti creations, including jewellery, watches, and leather goods, that seamlessly blend the brand’s distinctive serpent design with elements of nature.

Capturing the pure essence of the serpent, the Serpenti Viper pieces are reimagined in rose, yellow, and white gold, adorned with dazzling diamonds. Two new jewellery sets — crafted in either rose or yellow gold — feature a sleek necklace with the signature serpent head gracefully curling around its tail. Accompanying the necklace are hoop earrings, a looped bracelet, and rings enriched with white gold and diamond pavé, showcasing stylised serpent scales. For a more artistic expression, four Serpenti rings draw inspiration from Bvlgari’s High Jewellery creations. Crafted in rose gold, these rings are adorned with multi-sized diamonds, and feature sapphire, ruby, or emerald beads on the serpent’s body, with matching gemstone eyes. A stunning white gold version, embellished with a baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds, adds a touch of luxury to this collection. In the realm of watches, the Serpenti Seduttori combines the elegance of stainless steel with a diamond-set bezel and a bracelet inspired by the scales of a serpent. Meanwhile, the Serpenti Tubogas seamlessly weaves rose gold and stainless steel with pavé diamonds, forming a flexible, solder-free bracelet that coils gracefully around the wrist.

Breguet

Breguet has crafted a limited edition of eight Classique 7145 watches, showcasing the brand’s creative artistry through métiers d’art techniques such as guilloché and engraving. The 40mm rose gold case houses an ultra-slim automatic movement. The dial is hand-engraved in bas-relief, depicting a snake figure with scales and foliage. Guilloché patterns are applied for texture and depth, accentuated with a black galvanic treatment and hand-painted translucent green leaves. The 40mm rose gold case has a slim profile of 6.5mm, with straight lugs and a delicately fluted caseband. The open-tipped hour and minute hands, combined with subtle rose gold indices, complement the handcrafted dial. The Breguet calibre 502.3 is an ultra-thin 2.4mm automatic movement, featuring a 22k gold rotor adorned with hand-guilloché decoration.

Jaeger-LeCoultre

The Reverso Tribute Enamel serves as a stunning homage to the 2025 Year of the Snake, crafted at Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Atelier des Métiers Rares. Featuring deep black Grand Feu enamel dials on both the front and reverse, the watch embodies meticulous artistry through its layered enamelling process and multiple kiln firings at 800°C. The reverse of the watch showcases a majestic snake, intricately engraved amidst fiery motifs, a detail that took over 80 hours to perfect.

Harry Winston

Harry Winston celebrates the Chinese Year of the Snake with an exclusive, limited-edition timepiece — the Chinese New Year Automatic 36mm. Crafted in 18K rose gold, this distinguished watch blends the artistry of fine watchmaking with the symbolism of ancient Chinese culture and mythology. Adorned with a meticulously lacquered snake on the dial, the piece reflects the serpent’s revered role as a guardian of hidden treasures, symbolising the timeless value of time itself. The dial, complemented by green beaded mother-of-pearl and adorned with Harry Winston diamonds, captures the essence of transformation and infinity. With only eight pieces in existence, this limited-edition timepiece embodies the fusion of heritage, luxury, and artistry, making it a rare gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Arnold & Son

Arnold & Son celebrates the Lunar New Year with the release of the Perpetual Moon 41.5 "Year of the Snake", a limited series of eight exquisite timepieces crafted in red gold. This masterful creation combines the brand’s hallmark features: a manufacture calibre, a large astronomical moon, and an aventurine glass dial base. Adding to its allure, the watch showcases intricate artisanal craftsmanship, making it a stunning tribute to the Year of the Snake.

The highlight of the timepiece is the hand-engraved snake, meticulously carved from 18-carat rose gold. Its lifelike details, including fine scales, a forked tongue, and a broad, flat head, are set against a shimmering blue aventurine glass dial. Enhancing this celestial scene is a large mother-of-pearl moon, complete with realistic shadowing and overlaid with Super-LumiNova for a soft luminescence. The dial also features the constellations Ursa Major and Cassiopeia — delicately painted with luminescent material — creating an ethereal night-sky effect. The case back houses a secondary moon phase display, allowing precise and swift adjustments. At the heart of this timepiece is a manually-wound calibre renowned for its extraordinary precision. The movement tracks the lunar cycle — lasting 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2.8 seconds — so accurately that it would take 122 years of continuous operation to accumulate a 24-hour deviation from astronomical reality.

Franck Muller

To celebrate the Year of the Snake, Franck Muller has unveiled the Silhouette CX Snake — a limited-edition timepiece that blends serpentine elegance with technical innovation. Marking the debut of the Silhouette CX case, this creation redefines the brand’s legacy, presenting an asymmetrical design inspired by the snake's fluid motion and enigmatic charm. Crafted in 18k rose gold, the Silhouette CX Snake embodies the snake's mystique through undulating curves that suggest its form without fully revealing it. Guided by co-founder Vartan Sirmakes, the new case is a bold evolution of Franck Muller’s iconic Curvex designs, offering a tactile and visual experience that is as dynamic as it is elegant. Limited to just 28 pieces, this Asia-Pacific exclusive timepiece builds on the brand’s tradition of crafting unique zodiac watches, following last year’s Vanguard Year of the Rabbit edition and the Cintrée Curvex Ryoko Kaneta Dragon.

The Silhouette CX Snake’s intricate dial mirrors the asymmetrical case, with carefully aligned numerals and a snake motif handset with emeralds in a snow-setting technique. The glittering emeralds form a dazzling, mysterious pattern across the dial, capturing the snake's allure without overt depictions. Completing the design is a green calf leather strap embossed with a snakeskin texture and reinforced with a rubber underside for durability and comfort.

Hublot

Since 2016, Hublot has honoured each Lunar New Year with exquisite limited-edition creations from its Spirit of Big Bang collection. For 2025, the Swiss watchmaker presents the Spirit of Big Bang Year of the Snake — a masterful celebration of this symbolic creature — available in an exclusive series of 88 pieces. At the heart of this timepiece is a mesmerising gold-plated snake, brought to life with extraordinary three-dimensional detail. Using cutting-edge laser engraving technology, Hublot has etched the serpent with remarkable precision, capturing its lifelike scales and fluid movement.

The black, barrel-shaped ceramic case — a hallmark of the Spirit of Big Bang — is paired with Hublot’s innovative "One-Click" strap changing system for effortless versatility. The ceramic bezel is engraved with an intricate snake-scale pattern, a motif that extends seamlessly onto the black rubber strap. Finished with a unique velvet texture and subtle shimmer, the strap demonstrates Hublot’s ingenuity in creating luxurious details from a single piece of rubber through advanced embossing techniques.

Vacheron Constantin

In honour of its historical connection to China, Vacheron Constantin introduces a new chapter in its Métiers d’Art series, titled "The Legend of the Chinese Zodiac – Year of the Snake". This annual tradition celebrates the zodiac sign with exceptional artistry, showcasing the Maison's dedication to blending traditional craftsmanship with horological excellence. For 2025, Vacheron Constantin unveils two limited editions of 25 pieces each, crafted in pink gold and platinum. The dials feature the snake, a symbol of wisdom, renewal, and prosperity, meticulously rendered as a coiled cobra atop a textured rock. This motif pays homage to the centuries-old relationship between Chinese and Swiss cultures, dating back to Vacheron Constantin’s early explorations into Asia in the 19th century when the brand created intricately decorated jewellery watches for Chinese dignitaries.

The "Year of the Snake" timepieces exemplify Vacheron Constantin’s mastery of engraving and enamelling, combining these two métiers to produce breathtaking detail. The cobra and rock are sculpted by a master engraver, who painstakingly carves pink or white gold over three days to create intricate textures and lifelike relief. The cobra’s ochre tones on the pink gold model and anthracite grey hues on the platinum version are enhanced with patina and miniature painting. The dial's background is crafted using Grand Feu enamel, showcasing a gradient effect that transitions seamlessly from the centre to the edges. The flora, painted using the Geneva technique of opaque flux-coated enamel, adds further depth.

Piaget

Piaget captures the season's brilliance with exquisite timepieces that shine with vibrant colours and masterful craftsmanship, celebrating life's golden moments. At the heart of this festive collection is the Limelight Gala Watch, a true testament to Piaget's artistry and timeless glamour. An icon reimagined, the Limelight Gala Watch draws inspiration from the bold sophistication of 1970s design. Its 32 mm case — crafted in 18K rose gold — is adorned with 62 brilliant-cut diamonds, highlighting the watch's asymmetrical lugs that gracefully embrace the wrist. The diamond-paved bezel enhances its refined silhouette, exemplifying the signature allure of the Limelight Gala collection. The watch’s Milanese bracelet is a work of art in itself. Meticulously engraved by Piaget artisans, the bracelet features a scale-like texture that shimmers with iridescent brilliance, turning every movement into a statement of luxury. The boutique-exclusive Limelight Gala Precious Watch elevates opulence with its round rose gold case set with 40 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 4.736 carats, further highlighting the Maison's commitment to craftsmanship and grandeur.

Parmigiani Fleurier

Parmigiani Fleurier’s TONDA PF Xiali Complete Calendar is a landmark creation in watchmaking, honouring the intricate beauty of the Chinese calendar. This world-first timepiece seamlessly blends technical mastery with cultural homage, showcasing the complex lunar-solar calendar system in an elegant and innovative design. The Chinese calendar combines lunar and solar cycles, synchronised through the addition of an intercalary (13th) month approximately every three years. It divides the solar year into 24 terms reflecting the agricultural seasons, while the lunar year follows a 60-year cycle governed by zodiac animals and elemental associations. This meticulous system ensures that Chinese New Year — marking the arrival of spring — aligns with specific astronomical conditions between 21 January and 19 February in the Gregorian calendar.

The TONDA PF Xiali Complete Calendar embodies this complexity through its intricate mechanics and refined aesthetics. The watch features a 42 mm stainless steel case — polished and satin-finished — with Parmigiani Fleurier’s signature platinum 950 fluted bezel. Its imperial red dial — adorned with hand-guilloché Grain d'Orge detailing — is a stunning centrepiece, complemented by rhodium-plated 18ct gold appliqué indices and skeletonised delta hands. The dial displays a remarkable array of information, including the year and zodiac sign, the day and month, and indicators for leap months and long or short months. The TONDA PF Xiali celebrates the precision of the Chinese calendar, honouring its blend of tradition, astronomy, and symbolism. With its perfect marriage of technical innovation and cultural heritage, the TONDA PF Xiali Complete Calendar offers a fitting tribute to the Year of the Snake.

The watch features a golden snake crafted using sculptural techniques and symbolic abstraction. Set against an abstract snakeskin-inspired pattern, the satin-textured, gold-plated snake radiates elegance. The snake itself is more than decorative — it rotates to tell time. The snake’s head indicates hours while its tail tracks minutes. As a nod to Eastern traditions, the watch case is made from jadeite, a material with thousands of years of cultural history. Its jade-like warmth enhances the design, reflecting the fusion of modern aesthetics with timeless heritage. The use of jadeite not only symbolises prosperity and vitality but also highlights the watch’s distinctly Eastern character. CIGA DESIGN’s Year of the Snake watch represents a harmonious blend of culture and contemporary innovation, bringing a fresh perspective to zodiac-themed timepieces.

Chopard Marks Sincere Fine Watches’ 70th Anniversary with Platinum Jubilee Edition Launch

The L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition

In celebration of Sincere Fine Watches' 70th anniversary, Chopard has delivered a rare treat: the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition. Limited to just 10 pieces, the timepiece captures the essence of the occasion and exemplifies the house of Chopard with its perfect blend of technical mastery and aesthetic grace.

For the true connoisseur, this timepiece is immediately intriguing due to its technical pedigree. At its core lies the calibre L.U.C 98.06-L, a jumping-hour movement that not only impresses with its complexity but also sets this model apart with its remarkable autonomy and power reserve. First introduced to mark the Chopard manufacture’s 25th year, this exceptional mechanism boasts a massive power reserve of eight days—an incredible feat considering the high energy consumption of jumping-hour watches. This achievement is made possible by the firm’s proprietary Quattro technology, a system of four stacked and series-coupled barrels that delivers the energy for the instant rotation of the hour disc.

Housed in a 40mm by 10.3mm case crafted from Chopard's own ethical 18k white gold, this special edition pays homage to the brand’s heritage with its rounded design inspired by the classic hunter-type pocket watches once designed by founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard. The L.U.C line’s signature pared-down style, combined with the technical prowess evident in the jumping-hour complication, achieves a beautiful harmony between tradition and modern innovation.

Another scene-stealer is the outstanding burgundy Grand Feu enamel dial—a brand-new hue in the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 collection. Handcrafted by Chopard’s skilled enamellist, the deep red shade is symbolic of Sincere Fine Watches’ great passion for the art of watchmaking. But realising this richly coloured dial is no easy task. Grand Feu enamel requires multiple firings with temperatures reaching 800°C to achieve its perfect sheen which is then followed by careful polishing. This luscious crimson is notoriously difficult to work with, as even the slightest imperfection is immediately visible when light dances across its surface.

This timepiece exemplifies exclusivity and exceptional craftsmanship. Presented on a black alligator leather strap, each of the 10 pieces is engraved with a unique serial number and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. To add gravitas to this the momentous occasion, the back of the case features the engraving “One of 10”, while Sincere Fine Watches’ 70th-anniversary logo is laser-engraved on the sapphire crystal.

Further elevating this masterpiece is the prestigious Poinçon de Genève hallmark, another testament to Chopard’s unwavering commitment to fine watchmaking. Visible through the exhibition caseback is the power reserve indicator, as well as the haute horlogerie movement adorned with intricate details like the Côtes de Genève motif and finely bevelled components.

The entire series of 10 Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition timepieces is exclusive to Sincere Fine Watches.

The watch retails for SGD 76,800, including GST.

DOXA SUB 300T Aristera: A Legendary Dive Watch Reinvented for Left-Handers

If there is a simple watch that encompasses the purpose of the Legacy issue of WOW, it is a DOXA diver, like the SUB 300T Aristera here. Not only is it evocative of a very specific period in the history of watchmaking, DOXA itself is what is known as a legacy Swiss watchmaker. Named "Aristera," the Greek word for "left," the SUB 300T Aristera model signifies DOXA’s first foray into left-handed dive watches, with the crown positioned at 9 o'clock for those who prefer wearing their watches on the right wrist. This name resonates with DOXA's own Greek etymology, where "doxa" means "glory," linking tradition and excellence in a timepiece built for modern-day adventurers.

The simple story here is that although DOXA is known today primarily for dive watches, it was founded long before such watches were possible – back in 1889, the sports watch was not a thing, and time was still confined to the pockets of men. Founder Georges Ducommun could scarcely have imagined the development of tool and sports watches, and that his brand would have created one of the most powerful visions of the dive watch in the 1960s.

We hope there will be time to get into the backstory of DOXA at some point, going beyond the dive watch. For this story, we must necessarily skimp on the narrative in favour of the details about the SUB 300T Aristera because the watch demands attention that goes further than its orange dial. To begin with, orange is inextricably linked with DOXA dive watches as that was how the brand took the plunge in the 1960s. It is no exaggeration to say that this was the most distinctive dive watch in the world from the get-go; the SUB 300T in particular debuted in 1968.

In 2024, DOXA brings this heritage to the fore with its first dive watch made for left-handers (otherwise known as people who prefer to wear their watches on their right wrists). Yes, this is the first automatic DOXA with the crown shifted to 9 o’clock rather than the traditional 3 o’clock. Somewhat unusually, DOXA made this lefty without resorting to moving the date window to 9 o’clock too. According to the press release, the brand managed this by rotating the movement powering the watch by 180 degrees. Such a change, while seemingly simple, still requires rigourous tests. On that note, that movement is the Sellita SW 200- 1, with an escapement beating at 28,000 vph and a power reserve rated at 38 hours.

Importantly, the SUB 300T Aristera is in every way a paragon of the DOXA dive watch, being cased in 316L steel, with a unidirectional rotating bezel to time dives, a helium release valve, and a superlative water-resistance rating (1,200 metres). The distinctive case shape remains, as you can see, and the bezel insert is still in aluminium. To aid in keeping the time visible in low-light settings, Super-Luminova is deployed on the hands and hour markers of the 42.5mm watch. The watch comes with both a beads-of-rice steel bracelet and a NATO strap, both of which can accommodate professional use, as one would expect of DOXA. The bracelet has an expandable folding clasp while the fabric strap uses the classic and flexible pin buckle. You could not ask for more in a dive watch, especially in the accessible segment.

Limited to 300 pieces worldwide, the SUB 300T Aristera is now available at DOXA retailers and on the official DOXA website retailing for CHF 2,290, EUR 2,490 and USD 2,490.00 USD
