After a week packed with launches, meetings and lively discussions, Geneva Watch Days drew to a close with record results: 52 brands took part and nearly 1,500 watchmaking professionals, including 650 media representatives and 250 retailers from all over the world, gathered on the shores of Lake Geneva.
The Schaffhausen-based company has unveiled two fruity, out-of-the-ordinary timepieces created in collaboration with Studio Underd0g. Situated at opposite ends of the high-end watchmaking spectrum, the two brands presented a dynamic duo: the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Passion Fruit by H. Moser & Cie and the 03SERIES Passi0n Fruit by Studio Underd0g.
The third edition of Homo Faber is taking place at the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice until 30 September under an overarching “The Journey of Life” theme. For this event honouring craftsmanship, Vacheron Constantin and the Louvre celebrate the art of restoration.
To mark its 185th anniversary of continuous existence, L’Epée 1839 in-troduces the T35. Drawing inspiration from iconic 1920s and 1930s race cars, it pays homage to a legendary racing machine that could be considered the greatest race car of all time.
Tissot announced a collaboration with the manga UFO Robot Grendizer, merging two iconic characters from the 70s: the PRX model and the super robot anime from Japan. This association opens a new chapter in the history of Tissot, mixing craftsmanship and 70s design with manga pop culture.
Founded in 1884, Breitling is marking its anniversary with a yearlong celebration of its “140 Years of Firsts.” There is a new addition to that roster of pioneering achievements: Caliber B19, Breitling’s first perpetual calendar chronograph movement. The new calibre makes its debut in three limited-edition models representing brand icons: the Premier, Navitimer and Chronomat.
Created in 1987, the Première watch is timeless. While combining the House’s icons – an octagonal case inspired by the stopper of the No. 5 perfume bottle and a flexible bracelet as a nod to the chained shoulder strap of the brand’s iconic bag – it embodies a spirit of freedom and audacity unique to Chanel.
The brand from Le Locle has made a substantial investment in an ultra-sophisticated laboratory dedicated to producing the solar-sensor dials for the T-Touch Connect Sport. A production line covering all four stages of the manufacturing process has been set up. From thin-film coatings to quality control, all operations take place in a clean-room environment.
