Backes & strauss The Regent case design draws on the architecture of John Nash, who was commissioned by the Prince Regent in 1811 to develop a huge swathe of London, then known as Marylebone Park. The classical proportions of Nash’s work—Regent Street, Regent’s Park, St. James’s Park—can be seen in the sweeping curves and bold symmetry of the Regent Collection. ColleCtion HigHligHt The 18K white gold case of this automatic Regent edition dazzles with 132 ideal-cut diamonds (2.2 carats total). Hours, minutes and central seconds reveal themselves on a silver dial with silver hand-polished Roman numerals and indexes, and superwhite Luminova hands. Finishing details include an ideal-cut diamond in the crown, and an 18K white gold folding clasp securing an alligator strap. $25,200. VARiAtionS The timepiece is also available in a version with 46 ideal-cut diamonds (3.5 carats total) for $38,100.

Hours, minutes and central seconds are displayed on a black dial featuring silver hand-polished Arabic numerals and indexes. A classic, alligator strap completes the look. $30,000. VARiAtionS The Berkeley is also available in rose gold, and other dial variations are offered.
