In today's video, we will have a small recap of the current situation regarding the evolution of watch shows after the downfall of Baselworld and the fantastic opportunity of laying everything back on the table.

We are only a few days away from the first watchmaking related event of the year as the Geneva Watch Days regrouping approximately 15 brands will start tomorrow.

Only a few years after its launch, Czapek is coming once again with not only a full new design but also a new movement encased in this Antarctique set of timepieces, a steel sport-chic 3-hander with integrated bracelet.

We had the pleasure of having Julien Tornare, CEO of Zenith Watches, who dropped by our Geneva Club to talk to us about two new timepieces introduced by the brand of Le Locle. The first one is the Chronomaster Revival Shadow, a very cool watch housing the famous El Primero mouvement in black sandblasted 37mm case made out of titanium with black and grey dial and sub-dials.

Today we focus on some of really nice new timepieces introduced by De Bethune, a trilogy of DB28 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the collection, with three extra-thin models, including one tourbillon version.

The French language has its logic of its own, meaning a very questionable one and we are used to hearing sometimes pretty amusing interpretation of our favourite watch brand names. Just a few days before our local lockdown we went on the streets of Geneva to check this out and with this video hopefully come up with a simple and fun way of hearing how this is properly said!

Feels good to see these images of plenty of people on the streets and though it's only a few weeks back, this seems almost like an eternity.

This is the first video of what we hope to be a long series with our good friend Suzanne Wong, Editor-in-Chief of Worldtempus, and we will cover as much as possible the new watches that were supposed to be presented during the two main watch shows of Baselworld and SIHH / Watches & Wonder.

Today we focus on some of these new timepieces introduced by De Bethune and we already know that there will be more from them, but already a good start with new versions of the DB25 Starry Varius as well as a DB28 Kind of Blue.

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.

We have a very special announcement today and I am very pleased to share it with you before anybody else. I have indeed decided that we will propose vintage watches for sale on our website and we will do so for two reasons. The first one is obviously to help us finance our video activity, but very importantly it is also to give the opportunity for some of you to “get into” some watch purchasing at a reasonable cost and this with some fun and interesting pieces.

We will show you in real-time the actual date indication passage of this once-in-4-years event and we’ll do so with nothing less than some pretty sweet timepieces, a special firework just for you : Greubel Forsey QP à Equation, MB&F Legacy Perpetual, the recently released yellow gold version, Vacheron Constantin Patrimony 14-days Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, Bovet Fleurier Grandes Complication Virtuoso III Perpetual Calendar. A. Lange & Soehne Saxonia Perpetual and finally the Jaquet Droz Eclipse Perpetual Calendar.

In today's video, we are talking with industry specialists Thomas Baillod and Thierry Huron about the creation of a new tool called the Watch Distributors Directory. The main objective of this tool is to facilitate communication and commerce opportunities between distributors around the world and watch producers, something which may sound simple, but had never been done and is very much needed as they believe as much as we do that we are stronger together.

Hello and we are delighted to announce the new dates of our various travel opportunities in serious watchmaking territory during 2020. But we also listened to some of your requests and on top of the full 5-day experience, we are now proposing a shorter 3-day version.

In today's video report we are talking with industry specialist Thomas Baillod about the state of distribution in watchmaking and how technology and outside the box thinking can impact its evolution.

In this video, we come back on a young guy we met during one of our last stay in Singapore, Keeran Janin. He recently launched his own watch brand called Avantist and it was a nice opportunity for us to portray what it takes to actually do so; how you fall into it, the different steps, finding the right the partners among other vital things.

The Dubai Watch Week is a true benchmark of what a successful and engaging watchmaking event should be like and for its fourth edition the bar was set even higher.

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!!

Results of the GPHG, the main awards ceremony of the watchmaking industry, which just took place in Geneva and celebrated 14 different watches in just as many categories, plus the watch judged best of the best of 2019.
