NEW WATCHES 2024

THE HARMONY OF CONTRASTS With its latest creations, Rolex brings a fresh new look to some of its most iconic models. Thanks to the brand’s in-house mastery of watchmaking expertise, the new timepieces play with contrasts to achieve a harmonious balance of functionality and aesthetics, performance and preciousness, tradition and innovation.

~ 16 ~

Offering unique harmonies of materials, colors and textures, the 2024 watches illustrate a desire to constantly reawaken watchmaking emotions, while demonstrating uncompromising quality down to the smallest detail.

OYSTER PERPETUAL GMT-MASTER II Echoing emotions

OYSTER PERPETUAL DAY-DATE Harmonious variations

For the first time, the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II in Oystersteel is presented with the Cerachrom bezel insert in grey and black ceramic introduced to the range in 2023. Its green 24-hour hand displays much more than just an alternative time zone. It points to another location that resonates with the wearer – a reminder of the emotions that accompany each traveller.

Dials that are ombré, colored blue-green, or in pearlized white mother-of-pearl. Faceted, deconstructed Roman numerals and faceted hour markers. A bezel set with trapeze-cut diamonds. The new versions of the Oyster Perpetual Day-Date express the brand’s enduring desire for rare and wide-ranging expertise to be found in even the smallest details. Colors, materials, motifs, hour markers – each element contributes to the harmony of the new combinations.

PERPETUAL 1908 Elegance in movement

OYSTER PERPETUAL ROLEX DEEPSEA Bringing light to the deep

The Perpetual 1908 is now available in 950 platinum with an ice blue dial, a hue that is exclusively for Rolex watches in this prestigious metal. On this guilloché dial with a rice-grain motif, light bounces off the raised pattern, producing a variety of reflections with every movement of the wrist. A watch of rare distinction, the new 1908 is a visual masterpiece that affirms its unique identity with elegance and finesse.

OYSTER PERPETUAL SKY-DWELLER The symphony of reflections Sophisticated, technical and distinguished, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller in 18 k Everose or yellow gold is now available with a Jubilee bracelet. By alternating the size and finish of the links, the Jubilee bracelet in 18 k gold stands out for its wealth of reflec- tions and harmonious forms. Designed to enable tireless travellers to rapidly find their bearings, the Sky-Dweller reaffirms its ele- gance and is a delight to the senses. The first Rolex deep-sea divers’ watch in 18 k yellow gold, the new Oyster Perpetual Rolex Deepsea is decked in blue on its dial, its bezel insert, and its compression ring — part of the Ringlock system. Made from blue ceramic — a technical innovation that is the result of a pioneering manufacturing process — this Cerachrom ring is decorated with a circular satin finish. Precious and technical. Majestic and innovative. A bright watch for the dark abyss. This new version of the Rolex Deepsea is engineered to shine into the ocean depths.

OYSTER PERPETUAL COSMOGRAPH DAYTONa An icon eternally revisited Rolex presents two new versions of the Oys- ter Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona whose dials contrast white and black natural moth- er-of-pearl and a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds. These reinterpretations of the iconic watch achieve the perfect balance of precision and preciousness. The watches, made from 18 k white gold, write another chapter in the legendary story of a model known for a wealth of variations, summon- ing the potential in each of us for perpetual reinvention.

TIME ZONE

Jaeger-LeCoultre

T The Reverso watch was created to withstand the rigors of polo matches. Its subtle Art Deco lines and unique, pioneering, reversible case have made it one of the world’s most recognizable watches. The Reverso showcases our craftsmanship at its most creative, inventive and innovative and has housed more than 50 different calibers. It has been an exceptional canvas for creativity — fiercely original, defiantly distinctive, and always extraordinary.

REVERSO TRIBUTE COLLECTION

Whether draped in enamel, engravings, or gemstones, the Reverso is unfailingly unique, representing the very best of Jaeger- LeCoultre. Since its creation in 1931, Reverso has created many timeless stories, establishing it as the icon of Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Reverso is Jaeger-LeCoultre’s signature collection. The flip-over case was originally created for polo players to protect their watch dials from the rigors of the polo mallet (in the days before sapphire crystals). Today, the reversible case is handy for showing dual time

zones or second dial options. The design is also considered a pure, authentic expression of the Art Deco aesthetic. Since 1931, the Reverso has housed over 50 different mechanical movements, from the world’s smallest to largest complications, ranging from ultra- thin movements to tourbillons and minute repeaters. Both the Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds and the Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar represent fantastic updates on a classic, standing out with a blue sunray brushed dial and applied hour markers.

TIMELESS STORIES SINCE 1931

Driven by style Earrings aren’t your thing? Luckily for you, jewelry comes in all shapes and sizes – load up on the rings (pinky rings, anyone?), or do a cool, textured stack of bracelets on each wrist, or pick a statement piece to plan a whole look around. Just remember, a Porsche 911 will never go out of style and neither will diamonds!

Even a true classic, like a Porsche 911, can be jazzed up with a brightly colored paint coat, a loud engine, and some sporty features. Just imagine turning heads while you zoom around town in this baby! When it comes to jewelry, you have so many ways to accessorize your street style look. We’ve seen the growing trend of having multiple ear piercings in one ear; this is your chance to build up your “ear party” style! Go for the rockstar-style asymmetrical look, or layer up the hoops and diamonds to build up a look that’s fit for Hollywood (or sunny Pittsburgh, as the case may be!) ~ 26 ~

EFFORTLESS “STREET STYLE” MEANS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO EVERYONE. BUT, WE ALL CAN AGREE THAT YOU CAN’T GO WRONG WITH A FAST SPORTS CAR AND SOME GLITTERING DIAMONDS! And what’s better than pulling up to the party in your gorgeous car and stepping out to oohs and ahs – nothing! Cue the applause, it’s time to build your look and take to the streets. Whether your personal style leans more timeless and classic or bold and trendy, your street style is your chance to express yourself to the outside world.

GREEN If we’ve learned anything this year, it’s that green dials are here to stay in the world of Swiss watches. We’ve seen the trend explode within the watch enthusiast community over the past several years, but is it more than just a trend? Here at Orr’s Jewelers, we think so. Many of the most popular models now offer a green variation – the color isn’t just a novelty in the neutral world of blacks and blues and whites! From sporty military green to elegant forest green, there’s a style for every wrist and every occasion; and the watch team at Orr’s Jewelers has all of your needs covered! From casual, matte green dials like the Oris Divers Sixty-Five and the Bell & Ross BR-03 Military Green to deeper, sun-ray finish greens like the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph and the Breitling Chronomat Chronograph, there’s a full spectrum of greens from which to choose! Stop in and find the perfect addition to your collection, we can’t wait to show you these – and more!

Sylvie’s Story Within our brand’s heritage lies a journey from humble beginnings and an international love story. In 1986, Ian Levine left behind a life in South Africa to immigrate to the United States in search of the American Dream. An ambitious individual and visionary thinker, he ventured to the United States to perfect his craft, seeking to carve his niche in the world of diamonds and jewelry. With a deep passion for diamonds and a keen eye for detail, he embarked on his journey to establish Spectrum Diamonds, a jewelry manufacturer and diamond merchant, establishing his foothold in the American jewelry industry. Ian met Sylvie in 1992 while traveling on business overseas. Sylvie was living in her hometown of Antwerp, Belgium at the time, establishing her career at the center of the worlds diamond trade. Ian and Sylvie married two years later, and together, began to build a life together in America – pursuing their passions together. Sylvie always dreamed of a brand that would not only make fine jewelry—it would resonate with people’s emotions and tell a story of youthful femininity in a vastly male-dominated designer bridal jewelry segment. The Sylvie brand was born in 2007 as a confluence of her refined taste and artistic flair, a creation that mirrored her passion for creating timeless pieces of jewelry that women could cherish for a lifetime. Each piece was crafted with love, exuding the sophistication, elegance, and grace that Sylvie herself embodied.

Cartier Classic FOR CARTIER, TIME IS CYCLICAL RATHER THAN LINEAR. THIS VISION EXPLAINS WHY THE MAISON CONTINUOUSLY REVISITS AND TRANSFORMS ITS ICONIC WATCH MODELS, EACH ONE THOUGHTFULLY REINTERPRETED FOR A NEW GENERATION TO ENJOY.

PANTHÈRE DE CARTIER

The Panthère takes its name from the bracelet; its ultra-flexible structure echoes the animal’s movements. Formed from a series of curved and polished links, it is remarkably flexible. Launched in 1983, the Panthère watch has been highly acclaimed since its creation. Above and beyond its design, this watch slinks onto the skin in a rippling celebration of triumphant and carefree femininity.

This style icon has inspired Cartier to create four new versions in rose gold, yellow gold, and steel, with a silky dial in shades of golden plum, gold, midnight blue, and black. Four diagonally crossed dials reverse the play of light and reflect the brilliance of the iridescent and subtle gradations — a precious luminosity that adds to the jewel-like quality of the most feline watch in the Maison’s repertoire.
