WHAT’S BEHIND URWERK’S CREATIVE WATCH DESIGNS?

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!

Carole Forestier, Head of development of Cartier, tells us the main challenges faced for the development of their new minute repeater; how to master sound and what is it made of!

Christian Selmoni, Art Director of Vacheron Constantin, reviews the main novelties of the brand at this year’s SIHH: the beautiful and amazing Metiers d’Arts series and the revamp of the classic Malte model.

The 11th edition of the exhibition oddly known as EPHJ-EPMT-SMT just closed its door in Geneva and with more than 14’000 visitors and 664 exhibitors was a success. Three industries are found in this exhibition ranging from suppliers of the watchmaking world, to med tech and micro tech, and where natural synergies are developed between them: ceramics form the medtech to watchmaking and watchmaking polishing techniques for the medical world.

Find out what it takes to put together an exhibition celebrating such an iconic object as the Royal Oak, a timepiece that goes well beyond being just a legendary watch but a legendary design on its own.
