A STUDY IN
INTEGRATION
Beyond just serving as the interface between
watch and wrist, integrated bracelets anchor
their watches’ designs with their regular,
repeating links, which seem to extend seamlessly
from the case to create a cohesive whole
What are integrated bracelets? Any definition is nebulous at best, not unlike the
category of luxury sports watches that many timepieces fitted with them also belong
to — coincidentally, by the way. Integrated bracelets do share some common characteristics
though. For a start, timepieces with them usually cannot be fitted with aftermarket straps
or bracelets, as their lugs are simply incompatible with typical straps that have straight
springbars at their ends. This is related to a second point: integrated bracelets are always the
result of deliberate design choices. The result of doing so is a highly cohesive design language
where the bracelet blends seamlessly into the case, which proves that the whole can be
greater than the sum of its parts.

Bulgari’s Octo Finissimo
Automatic 10th
Anniversary celebrates a decade of the Octo line, which has broken eight records in ultra-thin watchmaking. The original
Octo Finissimo Automatic
first released in 2017 was
one of them.

H. Moser & Cie’s penchant
for using Vantablack — one
of the darkest materials
in the world — continues
with the Streamliner
Tourbillon Vantablack.
The timepiece juxtaposes
traditional haute horlogerie
with a cutting-edge material
and modern aesthetic.

First unveiled in 2019, the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus
was the brand’s first serially-produced steel watch. The
Odysseus in titanium here takes things even further,
albeit in a limited run of just 250 pieces.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus
was among the first
generation of luxury sports
watches that emerged in
the 1970s. Today, it’s a
fully-fledged collection
with myriad models and
complications, such as this
Nautilus Ref. 5990/1A-011.

Chopard’s Alpine Eagle
line proffers the brand’s
interpretation of sporty
chic, which speaks a
design language versatile
enough to include high
complications, such as the
eponymous Alpine Eagle
Flying Tourbillon here.

The Royal Oak has a storied history and forms a
key pillar in Audemars Piguet’s line-up today. The
collection’s timepieces run the gamut from high
complications to exercises in simplicity like this Royal
Oak Selfwinding in pink gold.

ATTENTION
PLEASE
Piaget’s Polo Skeleton
offers green details in the
most unexpected places:
its main plate, bridges and
dial flange. The treatment
doesn’t just create a
bold look, but also draws
attention to the brand’s
classical approach to
skeletonisation.

The new Constellation in
28mm sees Omega further
expanding the perennially
popular line to suit an even
wider range of wrist sizes —
with new colours to boot.
Meanwhile, diamonds and
white gold dial elements
keep the watch fashionably
luxurious.

The BR 05 Sincere Green Steel is a special edition

and Sincere Fine Watches Singapore, but does so in
a classy, understated way that’s only recognisable to
those in the know.
