Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 Starwheel Singapore Edition Audemars Piguet reimagines tradition with a bold, avant-garde flourish in its Code 11.59 Starwheel Singapore Edition. Created as a unique piece to mark the nation's diamond jubilee, the watch blends horological artistry with a heartfelt tribute to Singapore's spirit.
Crafted in 18-carat white gold and white ceramic, the timepiece features a vivid red aventurine dial flecked with sparkling pigments – a striking homage to Singapore's national colour. At its core lies the poetic wandering hours complication.

Flip the watch over, and the open sapphire caseback reveals the meticulously finished movement, anchored by a 22-carat pink gold rotor specially openworked with a 60th anniversary motif.
The watch is offered with two strap options – a black textured rubber-coated strap and a denim-effect strap with red stitching, injecting contemporary versatility into this singular piece.
More than just a collector's gem, Audemars Piguet has pledged this unique piece to the National Museum of Singapore, to raise funds for the institution's upcoming gallery revamp. A timeless gesture – and a timepiece for the ages.

This special edition marks the first appearance of a Full Lum dial in the brand's urban-chic BR 05 collection – and does so with a red-and-white palette that proudly salutes the Lion City.
The commemorative piece draws its design language from the confidence of a modern metropolis. Its 40 mm case, sculpted from stainless steel and finished with alternating satin-brushed and polished surfaces, is a study in contrasts: strength and sophistication, structure and fluidity.
At the heart of the watch lies its most compelling feature – a white Super-LumiNova X2 dial that glows with extraordinary intensity when night falls. Red indexes, including oversized Arabic numerals, echo Bell & Ross's aviation heritage while also mirroring the colours of Singapore's national flag.

The result is a watch that is equally at home in a cockpit or a skyline suite, radiating both precision and pride.
Powered by the BR-CAL.321 automatic movement with a 54-hour power reserve, the BR 05 Sincere White Lum balances technical excellence with visual harmony.
This timepiece is more than a celebration of timekeeping – it is a luminous symbol of unity, resilience and national spirit. By day, the watch is a model of modern minimalism; by night, it becomes a quiet beacon, casting a glow as enduring as the city it was created to honour.

Bvlgari Octo Roma Worldtimer SG60 Limited Edition To mark Singapore's 60th year of independence, Bvlgari unveils the Octo Roma Worldtimer SG60 Edition, a sleek tribute to the city-state's audacious spirit. Limited, refined and rooted in heritage, the watch is both celebration and contemplation – of past journeys, present momentum and future horizons.
Singapore's global vision mirrors Sotirio Bulgari's journey from Greece to Rome, which shaped a legacy of exploration and elegance for the maison; the Octo Roma Worldtimer SG60 honours that spirit, linking it to Singapore's dynamic blend of tradition and innovation.
Housed in a bold 41 mm sandblasted steel case with black DLC coating, the timepiece balances sculptural strength with cosmopolitan elegance. The matte black dial, accented by luminous white indexes, black PVD hands and a red lacquered central seconds hand, encircles a dual 24-hour and world cities ring – with Singapore marked boldly in red to stand out.

At its heart beats the BVL 257 calibre, an in-house automatic movement known for its intuitive world time functionality. Slim at just 6.03 mm, the movement boasts a 42-hour power reserve and is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
Complemented by interchangeable red and black rubber straps, the SG60 is more than a luxury accessory; it's a timekeeping companion for the global citizen. This limited edition reflects not just Bvlgari's craftsmanship, but Singapore's ongoing story of transformation – told in time.
View the Octo Roma Worldtimer SG60 Edition and other exquisite Bvlgari timepieces at the Beyond Time pop-up exhibition running at Paragon Mall Atrium until Aug 10.

Omega x Swatch Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold Just when you thought the MoonSwatch couldn't get more whimsical, Swatch returns with another cosmic twist. And unlike previous editions where Moonshine Gold – Omega's proprietary gold alloy – was limited to the seconds hand, it makes its very first appearance on this timepiece's moonphase display.

The new MoonSwatch also gets a Peanuts spin, with both Snoopy and Woodstock gracing the dial, and the former's paw prints adorning one of the full moons. The beagle's quote 'I beat everybody…' appears not just on the case back, but also as a UV-activated Easter egg on the dial – a playful wink at the joy of discovery that has defined the MoonSwatch line.

Dressed in a new navy blue hue, the Mission to Earthphase – Moonshine Gold comes with a matching rubber strap, previously only available online. The aventurine finish on the dial's blue sections adds a sparkly, starry texture – a fitting detail for a watch inspired by the cosmos.
While not officially a tribute to Singapore's 60th anniversary, the stars-and-moon symbolism – paired with a launch date coinciding with National Day on Aug 9 – makes this edition a timely and thematically aligned nod to Singapore. Like its predecessors, this Moonshine Gold MoonSwatch will be available only on full moon day this Saturday.
