Watches
Haute horology, independents and the boutiques where you can see them in Portugal.
Phillips Geneva, for those who still believe in the room
217 lots, 100 percent sold and more than US$112 million. The first live watch auction ever to pass US$100 million, with a world record for a Cartier clock that once stood in a Maharajah's palace.
A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual, for people who assemble everything twice
Fifty pieces in platinum, a black dial with baguette diamonds and 556 parts. The new Datograph Perpetual arrives the same year Lange opened its own boutique on Avenida da Liberdade.
Dominique Renaud, for those who can hear a heartbeat
The Pulse60 won the Horological Revelation Prize at the GPHG 2026. It beats once per second, like the old observatory clocks, and it is the most intellectually honest watch of the year.
Blancpain, for those who listen before they look
The Grande Double Sonnerie took the Mechanical Exception Prize at the GPHG 2026. It is the first wristwatch grande sonnerie that lets you choose between two melodies.
