Julien Tornare talks about his first 100 days as the CEO of Tag Heuer and the new Monaco Split-seconds chronograph in the sapphire case.

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.

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.
