Baselworld 2021 Postponed, Won't Be Held in January 2021
While Spring has come to Switzerland, the sky over the town of Basel remains cloudy and grey as the (sad) story continues. Already under pressure after the departure of Swatch Group, followed by the exodus of multiple other exhibitors and coupled with the current sanitary crisis, MCH, the owner of Baselworld, was forced to cancel its 2020 edition. This was followed by a series of announcements when some of the major exhibiting brands ( , Patek, Tudor, Chopard and LVMH among others) announced their decision to leave the show after?disagreements regarding the refund policy. This, incidentally, had to have an effect on the 2021 edition of the Basel-based fair. And indeed, it does, as MCH Group “has taken the decision not to hold Baselworld 2021” originally planned for January 2021… Postponed or cancelled? The Group still studies options.The fact is that the Geneva-based Watches & Wonders fair, held by the Federation de la Haute Horlogerie (FHH) with the backing of Ri

Montblanc TimeWalker Rally Timer Chronograph Limited Edition 100 Pre-SIHH 2018 - Hands-On (Specs & Price)
Last year, at the SIHH 2017, Montblanc introduced an entire collection focused on sports, the new Timewalker. The main source of inspiration for this collection was certainly Motorsport… But that was just a fraction of where these watches came from. In fact, there’s a longer story behind them, as the?TimeWalker collection takes its DNA from early stop-watches made by Minerva (now owned by Montblanc) made for gentlemen drivers. On top of the range was a proper tribute piece, the?Montblanc TimeWalker Rally Timer Chronograph, and this exact same stop-watch, with superb movement, is now coming with a new, slightly vintage “reverse-panda” style.While almost the entire TimeWalker collection was focussed on modernity (even though things are slightly changing this year), with sports watches featuring modern diameters, modern displays, modern colours and modern materials, the roots of this collection are to be found in Minerva’s past, at a time when gentlemen drive

First Look: The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony x Ora ?to for the Model's 20 years
Vacheron Constantin celebrates the 20th anniversary of its Patrimony collection with a special edition produced in collaboration with French designer Ito Morabito, more widely known as Ora ?to. The understated soul of the Patrimony is inspired by Vacheron’s slim men’s dress watches of the 1950s, a formula applied across the board to all Patrimony references. As the epitome of technical complexity married to restrained style, the Patrimony is a natural partner for Ora ?to, whose designs are directed by his pursuit of providing simple responses to complex problems. Produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces, the Patrimony x Ora ?to comes in a 40mm yellow gold case with a mesmerising dial composed of concentric circles.Introduced in 2004, Vacheron Constantin's Patrimony collection took its design cues from the brand's ultra-slim 1950s timepieces. Famous manual-winding movements like the 2.94mm thick calibre 1001 and the 1.64mm thick calibre 1003, powering the references 6179
