Patek Philippe wowed its collectors with the release of its in-house Caliber AL 30-660 SC FUS, which has four patents in the entirely new 574-component, self-winding movement. Globetrotters will be lining up for the Alarm Travel Time, which incorporates a 24-hour alarm and travel-time indication via the two-time-zones mechanism; it's also the brand's first water-resistant chiming timepiece. Just below 12 o'clock, two apertures show the alarm time in 15-minute increments. This complex alarm can chime any time during a 24-hour period using a classic gong. It can be set up to 30 seconds before the wearer wants it to ring. There is also an on/off alarm indication and a day/night indication for the alarm, and additional day/night indicators for local and home times. The watch has an ebony black dial and displays the date in a subdial at 6 o'clock.

Operating for the past 180 years, Patek Phillippe benefits from a uniquely preserved legacy. As the last independent, family-owned Genevan manufacturer, Patek Philippe timepieces are both traditional and innovative.Pending eight different patents, the Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Travel Time debuted in 2022. Combining two beloved collections, this watch flaunts a 409-part caliber housed in the Calatrava case and encircled by a vintage style dial. Other new models released in 2022 include the Grand Complications collection of minute repeaters with classic gongs, a second time zone with day/night indication and an alarm. Some pieces come accompanied by a set of white gold cufflinks with baguette-cut diamonds to match. The new Nautilus and Chronograph collections demonstrate similar expertise featuring a split-seconds monopusher and high-performance movement, while the Watches & Wonders Geneva line continues to boast the brands broad technical and aesthetic capabilities.
