The rumors that MCT was about to launch a new model at Basel World made me quite nervous, since I have been huge admirer of the brand and love their first model, the Sequential ONE. MCT is one of the smaller independents that have released, as of now one model and a variation, the Sequential […]

Panerai CEO Angelo Bonati takes us through the novelties for the brand at the 2014 SIHH, including the new Radomir Chronograph, the Radomir pocket watch and the new “8 Days” wall coming with the in-house P5000 movement.

There’s a lot of postulation as to why suddenly a whole new generation of watch collectors, myself included, have become so fixated with vintage watches. To me, the charm of an over-half-a-century-old Rolex GMT or a nearly-40-year-old Patek Nautilus Ref. 3700/1A is that when you strap it to your wrist, you realize that, while time […]

“I’ve been living for the weekend but no not anymore ‘Cause here comes that familiar feeling that Friday’s famous for Yeah, I’m looking for some action and it’s out there somewhere You can feel the electricity on in the evening air” Cee-Lo Green had a captivating way of describing the nightlife in his 2010 hit […]

During a recent press introduction of a new watch I was sitting next to an editor of a major fashion magazine. She was expressing her unhappiness about her watch. This had very little to do with the brand it was from, but everything with the fact that it was an automatic. She loved the watch, […]

Cartier showed an abundant choice of timepieces this year, ranging from their first every Diver watch, their relaunched Tortue Collection, the new Ballon Bleu and Ballon Blanc, innovative Haute Horlogerie pieces as well as their Metier d’art pieces. Certainly a wide range with something for everyone. Listen to Cartier CEO Stanislas de Quercize as he […]

Living in Switzerland, I sometimes wonder whether we can qualify as the country with the craziest weather in the world. In just a day, it can go from snowy -3°C to sunny 12°C and then back down again to -5°C. And the worst part of it all is that I never know if I’ll freeze […]

Jaeger-LeCoultre is a modern manufacture, often taking the lead in new developments coming from a stellar reputation when it comes to movement design and development. Yet, they will not give up on proven “old school” technology and craftsmanship until something new has clearly demonstrated that it is better as well. This approach has been part […]

This year’s SIHH suggested that, even more so than last year, 2014 will be the year of women’s watches with brands from Ralph Lauren to Richard Mille via Parmigiani and Audemars all presenting new pieces made exclusively for the female market. And, if Baselworld previews and leaked novelties are anything to go by, then the […]

It is no secret that with the dominance of the Asian markets, especially China, many brands have brought out extraordinary limited editions to commemorate special events in this part of the world. The limited editions connected to the Chinese Zodiac signs especially, have become a category all on their own. Of course these watches feature […]

One of the most unusual and interesting pieces of horological exotica I can remember ever seeing had a somewhat rocky start in life: the watch (or watches, as there are now several incarnations) made by Zenith and known as the Christophe Colomb. Zenith was going through a period of experimentation, under its former CEO Thierry […]

Chinese New Year happened just recently, and this time its the turn of the Horse to be the featured animal from the Chinese Zodiac.

Revolution’s Sophie Furley and Adi Soon leave the SIHH and all its top models to meet a real life top model, Adriana Lima, who was in Geneva to celebrate the launch of IWC’s new Aquatimer collection…and yes, she is as gorgeous in real life!

One wonders how it is possible for watch companies to constantly pump out new products for eager watch lovers every year. The pace of innovation is necessarily fast, with competition abounding from every quarter, and the fickle crowd waiting to abandon yesterday’s darling for today’s star. Couple that with the fact that every watch that […]

The house of Jaeger LeCoultre is one of those who we keep in close watch here at Deployant. They are one of the most innovative in movement development, and design, but also in creating beautiful timepieces which will stand the test of time. This year’s SIHH crop is no different. Elsewhere we touched briefly onRead More

The roots of Parmigiani as a brand are in the restoration of complicated watches and clocks from horological history. This remains the passion of founder Michel Parmigiani, who even now, despite the success of the brand, still finds the time to devote himself to the type of restoration projects from which his horological passion came […]

The SIHH closed last Friday and we are now selecting the loads photographs and videos we took during the meetings with the brands. Last week I posted about Cartier’s Fine Watch Making Collection 2014, since the mainstream collection I only photographed last Friday. There were some remarks that there was not much news in the […]

This was the question I was pondering when the Piaget Altiplano 900P was placed in my hands. Piaget of course, are the masters of the Ultra Thin watch, having dedicated themselves to the pursuit of this particular horological niche throughout their history. The brand holds world records for thinness in up to 12 categories, and for this, there is no denying that despite other brands introducing ultra thin watches from time to time, Piaget have shown that their focus has reaped rewards, and also what can be done when a movement, stripped to the bare essentials, can produce a wonder of mechanical beauty.

The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda Metro collection was launched with much fanfare at the Lausanne Musée de l’Elysée on 16th of January 2014, just days before the commencement of the annual Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva. Parmigiani Fleurier is well known for its haute horlogerie technical competency, the fine finishing and […]

The Rolex Submariner, the Omega Seamaster Professional and the Cartier Santos Galbee are classics that are more often than not worn on a bracelet. You’d wonder sometimes if these watches would have been the successes they are now if they had only been offered on a strap. Even more so for watches like the Audemars […]

The tones of Big Ben, the sinister sound of a clock sounding midnight in a scary movie and of course the recent tolling of bells worldwide to mark the new year; timepieces that sound to mark the full hour are memorable and all around us, yet are very rarely incorporated in a wristwatch. Repeaters can […]

Lange novelties are always interesting…and last week, I attended the launch event of the latest Lange novelty to hit the press, pre-SIHH.

Ressence is one of the new brands who seem to have sprouted out of nowhere with innovation burtsting from their ears.
