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.
