For this edition of PRIMETIME, we’ve decided to refresh the format while retaining the same engaging and newsworthy content.

A lot has been happening in our beloved industry, so we have many topics to discuss here, including the controversial release of the Cubitus collection.

FutureGrail, founded some time ago to serve as a tailored business platform for ever-demanding collectors, comes to the auction market this autumn with a curated selection of the rarest and most iconic Patek Philippe timepieces, each telling a story of horological excellence.

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

The Rare Handcrafts Exhibition of Patek Philippe opened its doors on the 13th of April at Patek Philippe Salons in Geneva

Always a pleasure to get our hands on some pretty exceptional timepieces as we have the chance of collaborating with the team of Phillips when it comes to the main lots put on sale during the Geneva auction.

So obviously there are the usual suspects when it comes to Patek Philippe and Rolex, but we have more, in particular an amazing and crazy looking clock (can't really say it's a table clock) developed and manufactured by Swiss specialist La Vallée.

This last one is seriously on of the most amazing time telling object we have seen in years, really totally original and we are happy to share this with you.

Ok maybe "checkmate" is a bit harsh at this stage but seriously what else could happen as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Tudor, Chopard and Chanel decided to pull out of Baselworld and will most certainly drain a few other major players in their footsteps. And all this to create a new show in Geneva, which will occur at the same dates as Watches & Wonder in April of 2021 and this represents a life saver for what was known as the SIHH.

Here we go with the second part of the best sequences of the watches of 2019 we got to film this year. This video includes timepieces from: MB&F, Bovet 1822, George Daniels, Patek Philippe, Rolex, Greubel Forsey, Akrivia, Jacob & Co., The Unnamed Society, Tulloch...

It's indeed this time of the year when we come back on some of the most beautiful timepieces we managed to get our hands and eyes on including timepieces from: Patek Philippe, A. Lange & Söhne, Vacheron Constantin, FP. Journe, Rolex, Moritz Grossmann, Ferdinand Berthoud, Kari Voutilainen, Charles Frodsham, Greubel Forsey, Andersen Genève, Purnell, Armin Strom, Richard Mille, Hermès, David Rutten, URWERK and a few extra more!

Singapore is naturally an important destination when it comes to high-end watchmaking but strangely enough, we had never been there. So when the occasion presented itself, it didn't take us too long to think about it and off we went and attended Jeweluxe, an event putting forward mainly niche independent watchmakers, many from the AHCI.

What a historic crazy moment we just lived with the shattering record just set for a wrist watch: 31 Million Swiss Francs for the one and only steel Grand Master Chime from Patek Philippe. A record sending a clear message that Patek is in a league of their own and nothing, absolutely nothing comes close to it!!
