Hautlence at the GTE in Geneva

During the same week as the SIHH, the GenevaTimeExhibition, the show for the independents brands, was held in the centre of Geneva. Besides Hautlence, brands like Moser & Cie, Cabestan, Heritage and Speake-Marin were among the 34 exhibitors. The location was really cool and looked in fact, like an old former hydroelectric station. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a65/Pasha_1950/GTEbuilding.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a65/Pasha_1950/InsideGTEbuiding.jpg […]

Audemars Piguet Debuts The Royal Oak Offshore Perpetual Calendar Chronograph At SIHH 2013

Although the really big news in complications from the Offshore family of watches this year was the Royal Oak Offshore Grande Complication, we were really captivated by another introduction as well: the Royal Oak Offshore Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. Like the Grande Comp, it’s a clever play against the preconception of the Offshore as a pure, […]

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond: Piaget Sets New Record With The Altiplano Gem-Set Skeleton Watch

Piaget’s justly famed for both its ultra-thin movements and for its extremely high level of gem-setting mastery (handled, unusually in an industry that out-sources a great deal of its sertissage to third party contractors, in-house) and this year, they showed a dazzling combination of both.

The 2013 Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Celestial – A Deserving Complication for the Sophisticated Women.

Horology 301: Defining The Modern Tourbillon

In the immortal words of Harry Callahan, I know what you’re thinkin’ - but before you sniff, say to yourself, “For God’s sake, man, I know what a tourbillon is, don’t insult my intelligence,” and turn the page, lend me your ear, I prithee - I’m going somewhere with this. Most discussions of the tourbillon […]

The Evolution of the Minute Repeater

The Evolution of the Minute Repeater

Despite the hyperbole that sometimes accompanies news from the watch world, the truth is this: the hairspring and balance got together in 1660, Mudge made his first lever-escapement watch in 1755, and, with respect to repeaters, Barlow and Quare (both Englishmen) applied for patents for repeating watches in the late 17th century. Breguet developed the […]

The Lange Arkade: a watch fit for a Queen

The Lange Arkade is an underated watch. The movement is beautiful…magnificent even. The case unique, the outsized date was an outrage when it was first introduced in 1994. In many sense, this is an outstanding watch…with one small print…it is a ladies timepiece. The ladies watch market, sadly, is dominated with quartz watches, which featureRead More

Horology 301: An incomplete introduction to the Minute Repeater

The minute repeater is both the most sophisticated of complications and the most atavistic - sophisticated, in that it requires enormous care and skill to make one that works at all, much less one that works well and sounds good; atavistic, in that it brings us back to the very earliest attempts to make mechanical […]

The pinnacle of evolution: Cartier ID Two

Let’s imagine that Charles Darwin was set loose upon the Huguenot-peopled valleys and mountains of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Locle, Le Sentier, Le Brassus, Fleurier and all the parts of Switzerland where silent, stoic men and women sublimate their inner passion into those angelic, refined machines that tell the time. It’s likely that he would arrive at […]

It has the distinct honour of having one of the first immediately recognisable watch case shapes out there- I am talking about the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak of course; but what few people know (and could learn more) about this horological icon is that the Royal Oak pulled Audemars Piguet from the brink of bankruptcy.
