Breaking Watch Brands Unite to Create the Geneva Watch Days 2020
Luxury watchmakers have to face turbulent times. The two major trade shows, Watches & Wonders (ex-SIHH) and Baselworld have just announced the cancellation of their 2020 editions amid fears of a possible COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic. With these lost opportunities to meet retailers and the press, watch brands need to handle business that would have got done there, but in a different way. The antidote to operate in challenging periods is agility In just three days, on the initiative of Bvlgari's CEO Jean-Christophe Babin, a group of brands has set up the organization of the “Geneva Watch Days 2020”. The self-managed, decentralized multi-brand event is to be held from 26 to 29?April 2020, at the exact same dates as Watches & Wonders 2020. Industry top players are already involved in the project: Breitling, Bvlgari, Gerald Genta, Girard-Perregaux, MB&F, Ulysse Nardin, De Bethune and Urwerk.The underlying idea of this Geneva Watch Days 2020 is simple. With the cance
IWC Pilot's Watch "Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport" / Introducing
Manufacturer IWC Schaffhausen has dedicated two limited-edition Pilot's watches to Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, the renowned constructor of Formula One cars based in the UK. As the team's official engineering partner since 2013, IWC exploits the many parallels that exist between motor sport's premier competition and high-end watchmaking. Kitted out with the black and turquoise livery of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, two limited-edition Pilot's watches - a perpetual calendar and a chronograph - join IWC's line-up of aviator models.Editor’s note: Yes, indeed, at IWC a Pilot’s watch doesn’t only mean “flying tool” but refers to pilots in general, of the airborne and track kind. Previously reserved to the Ingenieur line, with the integrated bracelet and shaped case, the new AMG editions are no longer based on this collection – the Ingenieur of today is dedicated to classic motor racing, not to technical, modern F1. This is the role of the Pilot&
Introducing TAG Heuer Autavia 60th Anniversary Flyback Chronograph and GMT
The Autavia is an important collection for TAG Heuer. The watch, the first designed and launched under the leadership of Jack Heuer in 1962, is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. The name, a portmanteau of automobile and aviation, makes no doubt on the vocation of the watch, an instrument to time events and races. As such, the chronograph has always been part of the collection’s DNA. Yet, when the name was revived in 2019 with the new collection, this complication was missing and the watch was only offered in time-and-date editions. But since 2022 marks 60 years of Autavia, the brand has decided to correct things and presents a collection of 3 new models, with the new TAG Heuer Autavia 60th Anniversary Flyback Chronograph and GMT 3 Hands.Quick reminder. The name Autavia first appeared during the 1930s – in 1933 to be precise – on dashboard instruments made by Heuer. The name was born from the contraction of AUTomobile and AVIAtion. It would later be associate
Anonimo Nautilo Bianco with White Dial - Hands-On Review (Specs & Price)
Anonimo might not be the largest watch brand we know, but at least we can say is that they’ve had quite a productive year: a complete facelift of the Nautilo, some new sailing editions, some colourful versions of their dive watch, some new “bronze” watches and finally, new editions of the signature military chronographs. Why such a profusion of novelties? Simply because the brand is celebrating its 20th anniversary. And because the year isn’t finished yet, here are some new pieces, the “dressed in white”?Anonimo Nautilo Bianco.While most of the dive watches are presented in dark tones, mainly black and sometimes blue (just to create a link with the deep blue sea), we rarely see the use of colours in such tool watches, and even less so with light dials. Silver or white dive watches are not the most common thing in brands’ catalogues, yet there’s something that could be interesting in them. This is what Anonimo had in mind, as they are laun
