A NEW TOOL FOR THE WATCH INDUSTRY: LES CADRANIERS & BOîTERS DE GENèVE
Reunited under the same roof, Les Cadraniers (dial makers) and Les Boìtiers (case makers) de Genève will now benefit from synergies from these two sets of very meticulous competencies. We often hear of precision in the mouvements, but dials and cases need the same upmost skilled personnel to produce what finally you will see the most in a watch! François-Paul Journe has been a key contributor behind this ambitious project freshly inaugurated.

Interview with Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, watchmaker and founder of Agenhor, the company behind numerous extraordinary timepieces such as Van Cleef & Arpels’ Poetic Wish and Hermès’ Temps Suspendu. He shares with us his views on the evolution of his profession and puts into perspective the inventiveness of the industry. How do brands use Digital Media and in particular Social Media as an efficient communication platform? What are the dangers and the limits? Is transparency compatible with the world of luxury? Find out in this special video report Valérie Debély, PR Manager of Corum, explains us the strategy and the development of the brand’s presence in various sailing related events during the recent Bol d’Or race on Lake Geneva. La Montre Hermès has just shown us a really interesting timepiece, one that embodies the historical skills of the House and its new watchmaking capabilities with their very own movement, the H1837. The idea of “In the pocket”" is based on a model originally developed for an Hermès family member in 1912 and gives you 3 possibilities of wearing it: as a pocket watch, a necklace or as a wrist watch where your wrist will be fully and comfortably surrounded with Hermès leather. The downside? Well, it’s a limited edition for only 24 happy customers around this planet. The upside? We really loved it! Find out the Top 5 selection of Anders Modig, Editor-in-Chief of Plaza Watch, at this year’s SIHH: Greubel Forsey, Van Cleef & Arpels, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre and A. Lange & Söhne Discussion with Charris Yadigaroglou, Head of Communication of MB&F, during the presentation to the press of the MAD Gallery concept. As expected, MB&F have again set a new level with this first store mixing different mechanical sculptures: both the brand’s crazy timepieces and some art pieces from international artists.
