New at DXB

  Every so often a gold bar comes along that isn't really about the gold — it's about the moment. PAMP's new 2.5 gram .999 fine gold rectangular bar , released to honour the 250th Anniversary of the United States' independence , is one of those pieces. It's small enough to be an easy entry point into precious metals, but it's the kind of design detail and limited mintage that collectors actually chase. The Design: A Tribute Worth Looking Closely At The obverse carries a heraldic bald eagle , wings spread, holding a banner with "1776–2026" — a direct nod to the 250 years between the signing of the Declaration of Independence and this anniversary year. The dates flank the eagle on either side, framing it the way you'd expect on a commemorative coin rather than a bullion bar, which is really the point: this is a piece designed to be looked at, not just stored. Flip it over and you get PAMP's signature reverse: their house logo, the bar'...

  There's a particular kind of woman this watch was made for. She doesn't need a dial full of complications to feel accomplished. She wears classics, but never predictably. She's just as comfortable closing a deal as she is wandering a souk on a Friday afternoon, and her jewellery box probably has more gold than silver — but she'd never call herself a "gold person." She just is one. That's the woman Baume & Mercier had in mind when they created Joia . What Is the Joia Collection? Joia (the word means "jewel" in Portuguese, and it shows) is Baume & Mercier's answer to a question a lot of watch houses get wrong: how do you make a watch feel like a piece of jewellery without losing the integrity of a real timepiece? The brand's solution is a graceful 28mm silhouette — small enough to sit on the wrist the way a bracelet would, but built with the same Swiss watchmaking seriousness you'd expect from a house with a 195-year history....

  Baume & Mercier's Riviera 73 reissues the 1973 original with a 39mm dodecagonal case and quartz movement. Explore the new models and where to find them in Dubai. Every so often, a brand revisits its own archive and finds something that feels more relevant now than when it first launched. That's exactly what's happened with the Riviera 73 — Baume & Mercier's 2026 reinterpretation of the watch that quietly carved out its own lane during one of the most competitive moments in modern watchmaking history. The Original Riviera Was Never Trying to Be the Royal Oak The first Riviera launched in 1973, a year after Gérald Genta's Royal Oak reshaped the industry — but the Riviera was making its own argument for what a steel sport-chic watch could be, built around a twelve-sided case and an integrated bracelet, at a price that didn't require a second mortgage. In fact, the original was introduced partly as a response to the quartz crisis that was beginning to uns...

  Some watches are designed to be noticed. Classima isn't one of them — and that's exactly its appeal. Baume & Mercier's most understated collection returns for 2026 with a fresh generation of 40mm men's models that prove elegance doesn't need embellishment to make an impression. In a watch market increasingly crowded with logos and limited-edition hype, Classima's quiet confidence feels like a genuine statement. A Collection Built on Nearly 200 Years of Restraint Baume & Mercier is the sixth-oldest watchmaker still in operation, with roots tracing back to 1830, when Louis Joseph Baume opened a small watchmaking counter in Les Bois, a village tucked into the Swiss Jura. In the early 2000s, the Maison refocused on classical pieces rooted in that heritage, unveiling collections like Classima that continue to define the brand today. It's worth knowing that history before looking at the 2026 lineup, because Classima isn't a trend-chasing release — it...

  he FIFA World Cup 2026 is officially underway, and the world is watching. Sixteen cities. Three countries. Forty-eight nations. One trophy.

  There are very few names in football — or in any sport — that carry the kind of weight Diego Maradona's does. Decades after his most iconic moments on the pitch, the man still gives you chills. And now, at Dubai Duty Free (DDF), you can literally hold a piece of that legacy in your hands — in 999.9 pure gold. The 1 Gram PAMP Suisse Maradona Gold Bar has arrived at Dubai International Airport, and it's already turning heads among collectors, football fans, and precious metals enthusiasts alike. Whether you're transiting through DXB or making a special trip, this is one airport find that genuinely justifies the detour. A Legend Immortalized in Gold Diego Maradona didn't just play football — he invented moments. The 1986 FIFA World Cup alone gave the world two of the most talked-about goals ever scored: the audacious "Hand of God" and the breathtaking "Goal of the Century" , a 60-metre solo run past five England defenders that is still replayed and...
