+XThe two brands have joined forces to create a collection of five watches called the Bioceramic Scuba Fifty Fathoms Collection. Each model celebrates one of the five oceans, the conservation of which is so dear to Blancpain's heart. The obvious choice for this project was the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, a watch born exactly 70 years ago and that revolutionised watchmaking by becoming the first true diver's watch... X...These five Blancpain X Swatch models are made from bioceramic, a unique and patented blend of two-thirds ceramic and one-third biomaterials derived from castor oil. While the colours chosen for this collaboration clearly indicate that this is not a traditional Blancpain watch, all fans and enthusiasts will recognise at first glance many of the features and characteristics of the iconic Fifty Fathoms, as well as nods to the Swatch Scuba collection.(Blancpain) -

Respect for this heritage and traditional crafts influences everything that we undertake. But this does not mean that we are entrenched in the past. Quite the opposite: innovation is our tradition.

+XCapturing the force and dynamism of the wave in a few millimeters of space on a watch dial was an extraordinary challenge for Christophe Bernardot in Blancpain's artistic crafts workshop. More than that, it was an entirely self-imposed challenge. Two unshakeable philosophical guidelines shape the projects of the Le Brassus workshop... X...Working on a small scale or not, in Blancpain's artistic crafts workshop, artisans see no boundaries in the techniques and patterns they create. At the benches of the Le Brassus farm, owned by the Blancpain family since 1860 and housing both the arts and crafts workshop and the complicated watchmaking workshops, art engraving, enamelling in multiple forms ( miniature painting, cloisonné and champlevé), damascene, shakudō and more all take flight. The latest creation is The Great Wave, inspired by Hokusai's 1830 woodblock print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa".(Blancpain) -

+XShakudō is an alloy of copper and gold. In the traditional process used at Blancpain, it is dipped into a bath called a rokushō, which serves to modify its colour. The operation is repeated until the desired colour is obtained, one of many subtle shades ranging from black to grey or blue... X...When the artist achieves the perfect patina, the process is halted, and the colour is stabilised. Very often, the shakudō is given some refining touches using complementary artistic techniques, such as engraving, damascening or sculpture.(Blancpain) -

That’s why Abraham Louis Breguet invented in 1798 a pocket watch whose user could “feel the time”... X...ANDERSEN Genève updated this concept to a wristwatch with the help of two reading time windows. One window is on the dial and the second one between the lugs. Its owner doesn’t need to turn his wrist to read time. The complication developed in house is added on a vintage high quality automatic movement upgraded by ANDERSEN Genève.(Andersen) -

+XThe first watch to be introduced in this series is a tribute to wine, honouring the various stages involved in the wine-making process. Wine not only being significant in a gentleman’s life but more importantly the watch celebrates and draws attention to wine grower and wine lovers from the past, present and future... X...This timepiece has been manufactured in collaboration with different artisans. Craftsmanship, for which Andersen Genève is highly regarded, the watch unveils the signature intricacies from the watchmaker to the miniature painter, revealing an exclusive dial made from 21 ct blue gold with “tapisserie” guilloché pattern. The very unique two colors red & white gold case has been manufactured in a traditional way without the use of a CNC machine.(Andersen) -

+XErotical scenes on watches are being asked by watch collectors for centuries. Pocket watches were having painted “erotic scenes”. ANDERSEN Genève gave life to those scenes by creating the most complicated erotical automaton on the market since 1994. The front of the gold wristwatch is “classical” with a simple and well legible dial and a crown positioned at 3hrs. From the outside only a small pushbutton at 8hrs might seem unusual... X...The back of the watch, however, is not “classical” anymore. Under a sapphire glass one discovers an automaton representing a libertine love scene; a real miniature polychrome painting, handmade, with a variety of fine details. At least 11 moving parts make the scene lively by the push of a button. All figurines are in motion with different rhythms. Most importantly and most difficult to achieve in an erotical automaton: “they are moving smoothly and in harmony”.(Andersen) -

+XVianney Halter has been doing watches bearing his name for 20 years now. To celebrate the occasion, he crafted 20 pieces of a new special model. It is a tribute to the earlier Classic, a porthole offering a glimpse into his watchmaker’s world. To make it different and more modern, he adapted the proportions and used surgical implant steel in contrast with the previous pieces that were made in gold... X...This is the first time Vianney made a watch from steel and this will remain exceptional. Finally, he dressed it up with a personally autographed sterling silver dial. In order to highlight this special occasion and create a link between the 20 owners of the Anniversary, he inserted a fragment of an encrypted message on each of the 20 mass rotors. He devised this message so that it could only be deciphered when shared between the owners. By wearing this watch, they share his adventure.(Viannez Halter) -

+XThis « grande complication » model is a tribute to french watchmaker Antide Janvier (1751-1835). In his times, Janvier was considered the watchmaking enfant terrible due to his short temper and utter genius. He nonetheless was nicknamed « the clockmaker from the stars » because he excelled in creating horological devices displaying the movement of celestial bodies... X...Time used to be based on the position of the sun on the celestial vault. Our contemporary system of timekeeping, using 24 equal hours, does not take the variations of the position of the sun into account. Thus the time indicated on a watch is different from the time one can read using the position of the Sun. This difference is called« equation of time ».(Viannez Halter) -

+XAn adventure through time and space. The acoustic resonance between two spiral-balance oscillators is a genuine complication. It took Vianney Halter several years of research and development to arrive in this form. In 2013, the Deep Space Tourbillon was born as an instrument, displaying the human interpretation of the 4 dimentions, thus allowing us to navigate across the universe sharing our perspective from Earth... X...In 2021, this instrument was brought back transformed into The Deep Space Resonance. It’s encounter with spinning black holes, quasars and supernovae modified it’s core, and it’s purpose. In space, there is no up nor down, no left, right, front or back. Things gravitate, oscillate, attract and repulse in the isotropic void. From these condensed notions was born: La Resonance.(Viannez Halter) -

+XThe Sauterelle à heure mondiale, being a Sauterelle, has the patented Andreas Strehler remontoir d’égalité at 10 o’clock. At 8 o’clock on the dial, there is a three-dimensional view of the northern hemisphere as seen from above the north pole, rotating counter clockwise once in 24 hours, as the earth does. This is where the phase of the moon indication used to be (not to worry, it still exists and it is still as precise as ever, but we come to that later)... X...This earth on the dial rotates under Andreas Strehler’s familiar sapphire crystal minute ring which here indicates night on earth. On the movement side of the watch, there is a ring with 24 names of individual cities, representing the 24 time zones. In the centre of this ring, there is a blue steel arrow.(Strehler) -

+XLike the Papillon d’Or: A large solid gold bridge in the form of a butterfly holds the superbly finished gear train with its two sapphire crystal gear wheels and supports the white fired silver dial ring. Delicate yet sturdy... X...The lift generated by a flying butterfly is more than what can be accounted for by steady-state, non-transitory aerodynamics. Its way to fly looks simple but to understand it, one has to know about things like wake capture, vortices at the wing edge, rotational mechanisms and Weis-Fogh ‘clap-and-fling’ mechanisms.(Strehler) -

+XThe indication of the watches is reduced to the two basic indications of hours and minutes, but with a twist. The hours are indicated by a black rotating disc, black like the eight ball in the eponymous billiards game. This hour disc turns around a smaller disc displaying the typical Andreas Strehler butterfly logo, finished in wire-cut... X...The hour is shown by the cut-out numeral which wanders over an orange luminous dot. This disc is, in fact, a large gear wheel, linked to the visible gear wheel of the minute hand. This minute hand also has two luminous inlays.(Strehler) -

+XSince unveiling the ultra-modern Laureato Absolute collection in 2019, Girard-Perregaux has continuously explored cutting-edge materials. The new Laureato Absolute 8Tech, the latest addition to the Laureato Absolute collection, draws on the Manufacture’s amassed knowledge. Using 8Tech, a groundbreaking technique, the case is formed of octagonal carbon parts, creating a random structural pattern. Once again, the Laureato Absolute showcases Girard-Perregaux’s ability to optimise avant-garde materials to breathtaking effect. The case material is composed of unidirectional, non-braided and pre-impregnated carbon fibres, combined with lightweight titanium powder to form extremely thin layers, measuring just 0.05mm in thickness. These layers are superimposed upon one another, each orientated differently to form ‘stacks’ which are then cut into octagons, an industry first... X...The octagonal shapes are placed in a mould and subjected to heat and extreme pressure. Thereafter, the case components, including the bezel, are milled from the material and then subsequently refined by hand. While Girard-Perregaux could have created circular shapes, the octagonal form is close to the heart of the Maison, it’s a shape that has become a brand signature since the release of the inaugural Laureato in 1975. Five times lighter than steel but with comparable strength and rigidity, the high-tech case material provides a compelling case for selection. Interestingly, it has a wavy appearance, reminiscent of Damascus steel. (Girard-Perregaux) -

+XThe Three Gold Bridges employed on La Esmeralda, the world-famous pocket watch of 1889, were both functional and aesthetically alluring.

This case, with its sapphire crystal box, provides striking aerial views of the Manufacture’s skeletonised movement.(Girard-Perregaux) -

+XThe Cat’s Eye collection is one of the most loyal ambassadors of ladies’ watches. Following the example of women themselves, it has never stopped refining its appearance; underlining a character trait, modifying a tiny detail of its appeal, subtly perfecting the curves of its silhouette... X...Flowers convey a whole range of feelings and naturally appeal to Girard-Perregaux, for which watchmaking is also a language of emotions. Within the Cat's Eye collection, the Manufacture has created two precious and sensitive new creations graced with complementary Day/Night complications. The flowering of the lotus at dawn and that of the Arabian jasmine at nightfall form an infinite cycle, a space for contemplation and beauty that sets its own unique rhythm.(Girard-Perregaux) -

+XIntroducing the Infinity edition, the infinite essence of Girard-Perregaux’s most timeless collections dressed in pure black onyx. Onyx echoes the stillness of a starless night sky on glossy rock, inspiring divine myths for centuries. With Girard-Perregaux, onyx has a new destiny. A new purpose with infinite possibilities... X...The Free Bridge and its close sibling, the Free Bridge Infinity Edition, are endowed with a distinctive arrow-shaped Neo that spans the base of the dial – like suspended in time - the shape of which upholds the Maison’s iconic arrow-shaped bridge design, but simultaneously reinterprets the contemporary structures often seen in architecture.(Girard-Perregaux) -

+XIn 1867, Girard-Perregaux unveiled the ‘Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges’ and an icon was born. Unusually, the bridges, three functional parts typically hidden from view, were made an aesthetic element. By taking this decision, the Manufacture became known for making the invisible visible... X...This approach has been employed on several subsequent Girard-Perregaux models. With the advent of the new Tourbillon with Three Flying Bridges, the Maison perpetuates this design philosophy but with a few fascinating twists along the way.(Girard-Perregaux) -

+XThe sober lines of the Vintage 1945 evoke the aesthetic heritage of the early 20th century that Girard-Perregaux has so consistently espoused. In a vibrant tribute to Art Deco, the straight lines melt into curves and back again in perfect balance. The rectangular case places the Art Deco notion of geometry at the heart of its design... X...The case and sapphire crystal are curved from top to bottom and from left to right ; a convex profile more difficult to shape than a case with straight lines. The dauphine hands are delicately curved by hand to fit the shape of the dial perfectly. Various details such as the applied Arabic numerals, small seconds counter and the railway minute track are inspired by the first Vintage 1945 model.(Girard-Perregaux)
