Tropicana Jul-Aug 2020 #131 The Beauty Issue

Feel The Glow
Over 70 years ago, Panerai introduced a new self-luminous substance called Luminor, which helped improved legibility of its watches,
especially under the cover of dark. To celebrate the 70 th anniversary of that innovation, the luxury Italian watch manufacturer has
introduced a trio of models that creatively makes use of the lume. Presented in 44m cases made of titanium, Carbotech and Fibratech,
and powered by in-house P.9010 movement, each model features the luminous material on the dial, markers and hands as well as the
inner bezel, crown, crown guard and strap. Best of all, Panerai is offering a guarantee for these watches that last for 70 years.
Elegant Statement
Vacheron Constantin has certainly upped the ante for its
ladies collection by unveiling the Traditionnelle Tourbillon,
which is the first automatic tourbillon produced for women
from the brand. The model features a 39mm case made of
pink gold with the bezel, case and tourbillon set with 208
brilliant-cut diamonds. At the heart of the timepiece is an
automatic caliber 2160 movement, which delivers an 80-
hour power reserve. The mother-of-pearl dial designed
fitted with gold baton-type hour markers provides the
perfect backdrop for the tourbillion, which is framed
with a diadem of 46 brilliant-cut diamonds. Vacheron
Constantin also has a jewellery version of the watch, fitted
with 559 diamonds for those who want additional bling on
their wrists.
