MONACO’S ‘NUIT DE L’HORLOGERIE’

For the 125th anniversary of legendary architect Le Corbusier, Michele Sofisti, CEO of Sowind Group, talks to us about the link between La Chaux-de-Fonds, the architect and Girard-Perregaux. To mark this, the brand has produced a special limited set of 3 pieces based on the Vintage 1945 watch picturing the 3 main dimensions of the architect’s talent with for instance a very original and never yet seen concrete dial!

Interview with Mr Gerald Roden, CEO of De Grisogono, who tells us that after some struggling and difficult development, the Otturatore is now ready to hit the market. Discover with us how the crazy dial moves in a fraction of a second and displays the four different complications of this very interesting watch.
