The new Marine Équation Marchante 5887, a Grande Complications watch, features a running equation of time, a perpetual calendar and a tourbillon. The equation of time is represented in a truly ingenious manner—it indicates civil time and true time with two separate minute hands. The ingenuity of the watch is accentuated by the aesthetics—the front dial features two types of engine-turning, including a ‘wave’ pattern specifically developed for this creation. The watch has a 43.9-mm case that comes in rose gold or platinum.

Price: $82,800

Inspired by predecessor models from the 1940s and 1950s, this new perpetual calendar is modern yet vintage. And truly timeless —the perpetual calendar function allows the watch to keep accurate date and time almost perpetually, accounting for the different days of the month, in addition to leap years. It’ll only need adjusting in 2100 when the leap year is discounted. The watch, powered by the calibre 342 SQ, has an 18-carat white gold case, a cream lacquer dial and gold applied numerals with luminescent coating.
