During the last few years, the larger watch trend was dominating the Cartier watch collection quite a bit. We have seen watches like the first piece in the Fine Watch Making Collection, the hefty 46mm Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon, the really cool extra flat 46 mm Ballon bleu X-tra flat and of course the many […]

One of the most unusual and interesting pieces of horological exotica I can remember ever seeing had a somewhat rocky start in life: the watch (or watches, as there are now several incarnations) made by Zenith and known as the Christophe Colomb.  Zenith was going through a period of experimentation, under its former CEO Thierry […]

One of the standout novelties for A. Lange & Söhne at SIHH 2014, the 1815 Tourbillon is the first watch to finally make the accuracy claims of the tourbillon testable in a real life situation. Coming with two patented mechanisms, one for stopping the tourbillon cage, and another for resetting the seconds hand to zero, […]

Chinese New Year happened just recently, and this time its the turn of the Horse to be the featured animal from the Chinese Zodiac. To commemorate this, Panerai has released a new 100 piece limited edition in the form of the Panerai Luminor Sealand for the Year of the Horse. This is a watch that […]

DEPLOYANT friend KS shares his recent Interview with IWC’s Chief Marketing Officer – Goris Verburg. At the first sight, you may find him a little cold, especially if he doesn’t smile. At least that was how I felt when I met Goris Verburg in 2010 during his time as General Manager(2009) and later as ManagingRead More

Name a watch brand that doesn’t have a tourbillon in its collection? They’re still out there, but their number seems to decrease every year. Even though many brands don’t make their tourbillons in-house, it does illustrate how technically complicated movements have become more and more a part of the general landscape in the watch world, […]

We covered the MB&F; Legacy Machine No.2 when it first came out last year in an exclusive first look by our very own Editor in Chief of REVO Asia, Suzanne Wong. (See the article here.) This time, in an exclusive video, we revisit this amazing watch that was shot recently while we were in Geneva […]

It takes a romantic to be utterly enamored with unique displays of time, and in the midst of what we have come to expect from Richard Mille, something totally different was to be found in their presentation this year at SIHH. It’s worthwhile though that we are all on the same page when we think […]

Revolution’s Sophie Furley and Adi Soon leave the SIHH and all its top models to meet a real life top model, Adriana Lima, who was in Geneva to celebrate the launch of IWC’s new Aquatimer collection…and yes, she is as gorgeous in real life!    Revolution: IWC’s slogan “Engineered for Men” rather excludes women from wearing […]

One wonders how it is possible for watch companies to constantly pump out new products for eager watch lovers every year. The pace of innovation is necessarily fast, with competition abounding from every quarter, and the fickle crowd waiting to abandon yesterday’s darling for today’s star. Couple that with the fact that every watch that […]

While the Fine Watch Making Collection is getting all the attention and is developing further into a series of the most dazzling complications, Cartier has certainly not forgotten what their strength has always been throughout all those years. Classics, historics and famous lines are something that always appealed and still appeals to a large group […]

Since its inception in 2005, REVOLUTION has honoured the very best of the watch world with its annual awards round-up. Every year, the eagerly anticipated REVOLUTION Awards presents in a range of categories such as Best Men’s Watch, Best Design, Man of the Year and Lifetime Achievement. In 2012, the Swatch Group netted two REVOLUTION […]

The house of Jaeger LeCoultre is one of those who we keep in close watch here at Deployant. They are one of the most innovative in movement development, and design, but also in creating beautiful timepieces which will stand the test of time. This year’s SIHH crop is no different. Elsewhere we touched briefly onRead More

Last year at Basel World, Hautlence announced their first, shall we say, ‘entry level’ model, the Destination! It took a while before the finished product became available but delivery to the dealers recently started in December 2013, right before Christmas. Let’s re-cap what kind of watch the Destination is and how it fits in the […]

The roots of Parmigiani as a brand are in the restoration of complicated watches and clocks from horological history. This remains the passion of founder Michel Parmigiani, who even now, despite the success of the brand, still finds the time to devote himself to the type of restoration projects from which his horological passion came […]

When Audemars Piguet first launched the Royal Oak in 1972, it was termed a very bold move. Nobody in the industry had such an audacity to come up with such an unconventional design, let alone the idea of having a watch that is made from stainless steel and costing more than a Patek Philippe inRead More

BANG! Just as Richemont’s yearly watch-party, the SIHH, was starting last week, LVMH announced the appointment of Jean-Claude Biver as head of LVMH’s watch department. The timing of this announcement was surely not chosen in vain, perhaps in a slight attempt to upstage the party of the Richemont group and the SIHH brands. This announcement […]

The SIHH closed last Friday and we are now selecting the loads photographs and videos we took during the meetings with the brands. Last week I posted about Cartier’s Fine Watch Making Collection 2014, since the mainstream collection I only photographed last Friday. There were some remarks that there was not much news in the […]

The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie is one of the two foremost watch shows each year. The SIHH is held in Geneva, and more of a luxury nature, and BaselWorld, which is the other is held in Basel in March, and perhaps more commercial and accessable to the general public. Admission to the SIHHRead More

This was the question I was pondering when the Piaget Altiplano 900P was placed in my hands. Piaget of course, are the masters of the Ultra Thin watch, having dedicated themselves to the pursuit of this particular horological niche throughout their history. The brand holds world records for thinness in up to 12 categories, and for this, there is no denying that despite other brands introducing ultra thin watches from time to time, Piaget have shown that their focus has reaped rewards, and also what can be done when a movement, stripped to the bare essentials, can produce a wonder of mechanical beauty.
