The Cal. 55W invites to discover the aesthetic, acoustic and haptic qualities of watchmaking in unusual ways. It came to life by the mutual inspiration of an accomplished master of the impossible and the ambition of an up-and-coming talent

A hands-on experience with both versions of the Schwarz Etienne ´ROMA SYNERGY` by Kari Voutilainen (royal blue and sand grey) – triggers some thoughts about the right dose of respective contribution, and the potential of the collaborative concept itself

A view on Watches & Wonders 2022 novelties through the imaginary eye of an eclectic GPHG Academician (Iconic, Tourbillon, Calendar and Astronomy, Mechanical Exception)

The horological mechanics put ‘time – at your service!’ with a clever use of planetary gear systems, and finally overcome their dislike of silicon – meet the Urwerk UR-112 Aggregat

True luxury might not cost a lot of money and might even come form unsuspected places (Indonesia here), but it requires taste, a bit of imagination, but the result is deeply satisfying – if you work with the right people!

What looks like just a smaller case and a new dial for IWC’s classic Pilot’s Chronograph is indeed an upgrade that recalls the traditional ‘engineer type watchmaking’ of IWC

This time it´s about shoes, a personal bespoke project with ´Il Micio - Hidetaka Fukaya`, from Firenze. A first on several levels and an interesting journey

The venerable El Primero gets a first substantial upgrade (Cal. 3600) in 5 decades: 1/10 of a second, more autonomy, conventional crown positions, and revised chrono mechanics, clothed in a new old dress – ´Chronomaster Sport`

A novelty from 2020, a new member of the ´Spezialist`collection from Glashütte Original: SeaQ Panorama Date - in a bicolour case with a grey and (synthetic) textile strap

The Roma Synergy shows how carefully Kari Voutilainen interprets the work of a fellow integrated manufacturer

From Cerulean over Yves Klein to Ultra Marine– the many shades of blue might well be the penultimate instance of a Grand Feu enamel dial

The manufacture’s first automatic flying tourbillon is destined to adorn the wrists of discerning gentlemen.
