MB&F announced the LM101 Gabriel Colliard, a collaboration with the eponymous enamel artist, in three limited editions of eight pieces each, 24 pieces in total. Each of the three designs, in green, red, or blue and depicting animals in a jungle scene, is created using a cloisonné technique, which uses gold wires to create the design's outline that is then filled with colorful enamel. The ratchet wheel on the back of the movement is also decorated in enamel. They're all in 40mm platinum cases and are priced at $131,000.

Vacheron Constantin introduced the Fiftysix Self-Winding and Fiftysix Complete Calendar, an update to its retro-inspired line that was first introduced in 2018.

Both have applied white gold indices and hands, with Super-LumiNova for improved legibility, and both come on an anthracite nubuck leather strap. The Self-Winding, priced at $14,300, is powered by the automatic caliber 1326, while the Complete Calendar, priced at $33,900, uses the automatic 2460 QCL/1, which carries a Geneva Seal certification.
