3. Christopher Ward - C1 Bel Canto Lumière, extravagant automatic watch with visible mechanics
The C1 Bel Canto Lumière combines acoustic watchmaking with a dramatic play of light.

4. Louis Erard x Wire Art – Fil d’Or, elegant automatic watch made of stainless steel with leather strap and artistic dial

5. Anoma A1 Optical, extravagant, asymmetrical watch creation made of stainless steel with automatic caliber
