To celebrate its building's 50th anniversary, the Musée International d'Horlogerie is unveiling two new creations: the MIH Gaïa Series III watch and a special 50th anniversary edition featuring 50 unique dials, hand-guilloché by Georges Brodbeck, winner of the 2023 Prix Gaïa.
The Maison has unveiled a one-of-a-kind timepiece – the Golden Bridge “Serpent” – perpetuating the collection’s inherent elegance and sophistication. This timepiece features a tonneau-shaped 5N pink gold case with sapphire crystals on almost all sides, offering a view of the Golden Bridge CO Calibre 113.

The rhino is still threatened with extinction, impacting the stability of the 5 keystone species that play a crucial role in the safekeeping of our ecosystem and environment.
