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.

Welcome on this new edition PRIMETIME and we have a rather dense edition to share with you; plenty of new products, plenty of business and gossipy things, a serious update on the SIHH/Baselworld saga and a lot to expect in the coming days.

Today no fancy brand, no big name to share with you but nonetheless a very cool timepiece with the lightest mechanical watch produced weighing a mere 16.9 grams built by young French watchmaker named Valentin Remontet.

Let’s discover together a very special craft: miniature wood marquetry, as we had the opportunity to meet in Paris a very talented young artisan crafting dials for Hermès and he shared with us the full process of how he works.

In this edition of PRIMETIME, we really want to thank our great friends that came to Geneva for our 100k celebration party; it was totally marvellous to share this special moment with all of you there, as well as with some legendary friends from our industry, including very close friend Philippe Dufour.

In this fresh edition of PRIMETIME, we come back on the main noteworthy product launched witnessed these past few weeks (Omega, MB&F and L'Epée, Armin Strom, Panerai, Oris...), but also talk about some business-related matters, such as the product shortage seen with some steel watches, the GPHG, Only Watch and more.

Discover the main new watches presented in June and of course come we come back on the very recent announcement of the watches participating in the biannual charity auction of Only Watch, including a steel version of the Grand Master Chime by Patek Philippe and a spectacular F.P. Journe Astronomical minute repeater.
