The best timepieces from Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie

Van Cleef & Arpels’s classic art deco watch, the Cadenas has been decked in jewels. First launched in 1935, and supposedly inspired by the Duchess of Windsor, the newest incarnation is in pink gold, with princess-cut rubies on the case and clasp, and a mother-of-pearl dial.

Vacheron Constantin has launched a new Patrimony perpetual calendar in pink gold. The slate grey dial features four complications: a moonphase, day-of-the-week counter, date counter, and month and leap-year counter. Courtesy Vacheron Constantin

Baume & Mercier offer a new timepiece for women, with the arrival of the Promesse 10347. The 34mm case is decorated with 30 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.38 carats), and the dial with four diamonds (0.02 carats). The stainless steel case is offset by the blue of the dial and strap.

A Lange & Söhne’s Lange 1 Moon Phase, launched in 2002, has been updated with a new moonphase complication, with day/night indicator. Designed to track the lunar cycle, our closest celestial cousin, it is accurate to 122.6 years. Courtesy A. Lange & Söhne

The annual watch exhibition was held in Geneva, Switzerland from January 16 to 20 this year. With the somewhat chewy title of Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (abbreviated to the easier SIHH), it serves to bring together some of the finest watchmakers in the world to show off their new and extraordinary creations, as well as setting timepiece trends for the year. Here are our top picks from this year's edition.
