After a refreshing summer break, we're back with a comprehensive recap of the latest developments in the watchmaking industry, particularly on the business front. Everything you love is here: suspense, passion, high speed, big money, a pinch of disappointment, a nugget of fear, and a lot of respect for watches and the people who make them for us.

In this Showtime edition, we come back on the Watches & Wonders week, new watches, and other important developments on the business side.

For Watches & Wonders 2024, Hublot presents new colours and new materials for their MP-11 series with the 14-day power reserve, and a special surprise for EuroCup 2024.

PRIMETIME - Watchmaking in the news is here again with industry developments and new watches!

In today’s PRIMETIME we will go over some other newsworthy stories of the industry. Naturally this includes a follow up on the Baselworld situation because as predicted it didn’t take long for the LVMH brands, Hublot, TAG Heuer, Bulgari and Zenith to announce their departure from the show.

We will also discuss new product launches as activity is slowly starting again here in Switzerland, but very gently as we don’t want to simply cover these new watches without seeing them in the flesh, proving again the necessity of these physical shows.
