C yrus Genève’s (DICE), which stands for “Double Independent Chronograph” is a Jean-François Mojon’s created automatic movement, caliber CYR718, which beats at 4Hz with 60 hours of power reserve — and that offers two dedicated chronographs. Housed in a 42 mm x 16.5 mm cushion-shaped titanium case, the Cyrus Genève Klepcys Dice Racing features an all-new carbon fiber bezel. There are two versions, one with a grade 5 titanium case and carbon fiber bezel and the other in a black DLC-coated grade 5 titanium case with a carbon fiber bezel. Each version of the Cyrus Genève Klepcys Dice Racing timepiece is limited to 15 pieces. $40,600

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, their month TAG Heuer announced two limited edition 42 mm diameter Carrera timepieces, which are powered by TAG’s in-house Heuer 02 automatic chronograph movement (motor). Instead of a cliche Porsche branding being emblazoned on the dial of the TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche Limited Editions, TAG Heuer and Porsche designed this special timepiece with a tasteful blue and white theme matching the dial and Nato-style strap with the paint job of the 50-year-old 911 Carrera RS 2.7 to which it pays homage. “PORSCHE” is engraved on the metal keeper for the Nato-style strap, and the name of the car is also engraved on the caseback. The blue and white version show is limited to 500 pieces, while there’s also a red and 18K gold version that’s limited to 250 pieces. $7,750

Luxury brand Caviar, which is known for outrageous customized iPhones and mobile accessories, has created an outlandish iPhone 14 Pro that’s fitted with an actual Rolex Daytona watch on the back of the phone case. And an 18K gold version of the Daytona was used for this, no less. Being that the Rolex Daytona is a racing-centric watch, named after the Daytona Beach racetrack, the Caviar Daytona iPhone 14 Pro Max designers created an aesthetic themed around a Bluebird V race car that Malcolm Campbell used to set a land speed record of 276 mph at Daytona in 1935. Matching the gold Daytona, and keeping to the racing theme, the custom iPhone case is equipped with an 18-karat gold speedometer, oil and fuel indicators, and three decorative switches. $134,250
