Emeralds have charmed their way into the history of civilizations for thousands of years. From Queen Cleopatra, who was infatuated with the gemstone, all the way to the Incas, who venerated their goddess Umina through a gigantic emerald, many cultures have seen some sort of power in the vivid green jewel.

The narrater of this 45 minute long advertisement for the new mirror-less camera called the Leica T System begins by asking the following:” Is this the most boring film ever made?”. As a marketing move, it is certainly brilliant, showing off every single second of the 45 minute process that it takes for the aluminium […]

It is no secret that Piaget knows how to cater to the ladies. The recipe is a clever mix of precious metal and diamonds, brought together in uncommon shapes and fitted with a mechanical or a quartz movement. Yes, Piaget is well aware that it takes both to cover the market, since the question of […]

“We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of air.” –Evangelista Torricelli, 1644 It’s a dangerous thing to start a new watch company –in addition to an almost infinite number of ill-advised possible business goofs, standing out from the crowd enough for people to notice what you are doing, as well as consistently developing […]

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) […]

In the early 1930s, photography was still making the transition from large-format wet plate and film photography to the use of 35mm film, which had originally been developed for cinema. Though it’s called a “full frame” photo format today, in the 1930s 35mm was still thought of by many as a miniature format. Leica had […]

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… […]

Ever since the resurrection of Blancpain by Biver and Piguet in the 1980’s, the moon has played an important part in the history of the brand. Their first full calendar model with moon phase was a classical beauty, whose legacy lives on until today. The same can be said for the carrousel (karrussel) that Blancpain […]

The Antoine Martin Slowrunner that was released about a year ago came with a stupendously large balance wheel that beat at an astounding 1Hz. This was a watch that not only offered a very unique complication, but also came with a bunch of other useful everyday features. A date and a power reserve indicator came […]

When you say Jaquemarts, you are instantly saying Ulysse Nardin. This complication has become a benchmark complication for the brand since the 1980’s and currently Ulysse Nardin is the only brand that still makes watches that feature Jaquemarts on the dial side of the watch. A new addition to this collection is always a special […]

Today started off fast and furious with four serious runners from Gucci and Movado Group waiting on the Mittlerer Rheinbrücke bridge at 6:30 am this morning. They had not been partying quite as hard as I had, and two of them had just taken part in a marathon, so it was a tough run, but […]

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 […]
