BaselWorld 2014: Two Lovely New Ladies’ Watches From Patek Philippe

While a lot of the attention on Patek Philippe at BaselWorld this year was focused (rightly so) on the new 5960 Annual Calendar in stainless steel (and speculation about what’s coming up for the 175th anniversary celebration later this year, about which Patek has so far managed the unlikely achievement of a total information blackout) […]

Ken Kessler’s Favourite Watches From Baselworld 2014

A conservative estimate is that I saw 600 watches in my 3½ days at BaselWorld. When asked to choose my three favourites, all I could do was groan, “Impossible!” There were so many spectacular new pieces – and I don’t mean just the silly-priced stuff – that I can’t even devise a mental “filter”. Do […]

BASELWORLD ROUNDUP

Like all those who write diaries, I am afraid that I missed a couple of days of my BaselWorld diary. I started well with days one through three, and then Basel got the better of me. But hey, no where in the grand rules of diary making does it say you can’t catch up later… […]

Baselworld 2014: Hands On With The Zenith El Primero Lightweight (Live Pics)

Surprise was what the Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback Striking 10th chronograph elicited when it was first shown at BaselWorld in 2010. The mesmerizing effect of the large red hand moving faster than expected was, without doubt, what most watch lovers would define as their “Striking 10th moment”, when previous expectations on how a chronograph […]

BASELWORLD DIARY - DAY ONE

  My first BaselWorld day kicked off with the traditional fair press conference where I discovered that Swiss exports were up 1.9%, that I was one of a staggering 4,000 journalists visiting the show, and one of the 50 percent of people working in the Swiss watch industry who aren’t actually Swiss! I wasn’t quite […]

BaselWorld Diary - Day Zero

Today over 100,000 people from over 100 countries are crossing oceans and continents on their way to BaselWorld for the largest watch fair in the world.  As Revolution’s Swiss editor my journey is only a feeble 229 km, but it doesn’t make it any the less exciting as I prepare for one of the most […]

BASELWORLD 2014 - Arnold & Son Instrument CTB Delivers First Round Knock Out

With Baselworld just around the corner, many brands have sent out teasers of their upcoming premieres, showing parts of cases, complicated movements or simply a silhouette. Not Arnold & Son….they delivered their first punch before Baselworld 2014 has even officially started with the introduction of their new Instrument CTB. And they are going for a […]

Blue Period: Blue Dials Were Everywhere At BaselWorld 2013

 Laurent Ferrier Gallet Micro-Rotor Traveller We usually hate calling trends, especially at an event as heterogenous as BaselWorld, but we did feel like we saw an awful lot of blue dials this year.  Not that we’re complaining.  It’s a great change from the gamut of neutrals that usually dominate watch dials, and the extra splash […]

BaselWorld 2013: Highlights And Live Pics From Patek Philippe’s 2013 Debuts, Plus Decorative Arts Masterpieces

There’s no doubt that one of the most anticipated launches at BaselWorld come from Patek Philippe and seirous connoisseurs the world over watch with bated breath to see what this most haute of haute de gamme manufacturers will show.  There is a certain dignity in the way in which Patek Philippe generally avoids the presentation of “novelties,” that are merely […]

Flinqué enamel is a technique in which a metal surface decorated with engine-turning (guilloché) is then […]

BaselWorld 2013: URWERK Shows Red And Black UR 110 PTH, Teases New Complication

Among the independent watch creators, URWERK is notable for having succeeded in making watches that (we at REVOLUTION have always thought) succeed better than most at seamlessly combining mechanics and aesthetics into a whole greater than the sum of its parts.  At this year’s BaselWorld they continued their winning streak with, among other things, a […]
