PRIMETIME - The Latest Big News From The Watch Industry!

In this special edition of Primetime, we once again stood up (pun intended) with the leading expert on the watch business, Mr Oliver Müller. This time, we changed the setting and filmed the episode at EPHJ, The World of High Precision. The ideal backdrop for a conversation about numbers, watches, and so much more.

We checked on the ongoing market slowdown, the rising price of gold, and what it all means for the industry. We also paid tribute to the founders of EPHJ – André Colard and Olivier Saenger – and marked the passing of the torch to the new Belgian group set to manage the expo going forward.

Being at one of Switzerland’s major innovation fairs, we couldn’t resist exploring some of the most intriguing new inventions. A fully silicon escapement, a novel method for producing hollow gold watch components and bracelets (to save a penny and much more), and the EPHJ Grand Prix winner’s bold new technique for marking watches and parts for better traceability and counterfeits protection.

Precise, short, and packed with insight into the watch world – it’s still Primetime, watchmaking in the news... only better. 😎
