Over the past seven days, we’ve been looking at Time for Art’s latest releases, and what better way to complete a watch at auction than with one of our last Biver watches? Audemars Piguet has released a full gold variant of the Royal Oak Perpetual Ultra Thin, and Breguet continues its descent into the depths of black dials with its new Marine Tourbillon (also seen last week). Voutilanen continues to impress with Reverse, and Bvlgari surprises everyone with new artistic collaborations.
Check out the rest of the releases below and let us know what you think. Enjoy reading!
Biver Automatique “Echoes of this Moment”
On the occasion of Time for Art, Biver collaborates with Swiss artist Guillaume Ehinger to launch one of the best watches of the event. For the first time, it features a handcrafted 18K white gold dial with engravings and overlays of enamel, crafted from stainless steel. The movement powering this piece is caliber JCB-003, and the collaboration is engraved on the 22K gold rotor.

Breguet Marine Tourbillon Equation Marchante 5887
After releasing two classics in black last week, Breguet expands its marine collection in the same way. The Équation Marchante is a complication that simultaneously displays the difference between mean solar time and true solar time. Powered by the caliber 581DPE with peripheral rotor, the bridges are completely engraved by hand.

Louis Monet Starman Extraterrestrial
Louis Monet’s owner, Jean-Marie Schaller, was fascinated by the presence of amino acids in one of the meteorites and decided to incorporate them into his watches. The blue dial is made from the Gibeon meteorite and features an overlay of luminous constellations, displaying the tourbillon and Jubilette Windselwan meteorite fragments. The reverse features a custom solar map with hand-drawn planets arranged like March 21, 2013, or customized for a special date.
