New releases from Louis Vuitton, Hanhart, Massena LAB x Raúl Pagès and more

Pietro Pilla

In these past seven days, we’ve seen a focus on high watchmaking from both independents and big brands alike. Starting with Louis Vuitton, who just showed off all their skills in a trio of releases focused on métiers d’Art, automata and minute repeaters. Then, we had British watchmaker Garrick evolve its dead beat seconds watches, Massena and Raúl Pagès continue their collaboration with a subtle and elegant timepiece, while Stepan Sarpaneva went in the complete opposite way with a very sculptural watch. Discover all of these and many more below. Enjoy your reading!
