The Lange Cabaret is one of the less loved models amongst the Lange stable of exceptional timepieces. So when it came to a special edition piece for the Lange Owners Group – a group of enthusiasts held together by serious collectors and admirers of the brand as well as other haute horology brands, we electedRead More

For all its prosaic utility, the second-time-zone complication is a remarkably romantic function. On the surface, it is what it is: an indication of the time in a different location in the world, which allows for convenient reference when traveling. For frequent travelers, however, the second-time-zone function carries an additional emotional charge: it is an […]

This year’s SIHH suggested that, even more so than last year, 2014 will be the year of women’s watches with brands from Ralph Lauren to Richard Mille via Parmigiani and Audemars all presenting new pieces made exclusively for the female market. And, if Baselworld previews and leaked novelties are anything to go by, then the […]

The VC Patrimony Comtemporaine Minute Repeater, measuring a mere 8.09mm thick held the crown for the thinnest minute repeater from Sep 2013 to Jan 2014. Introduced in Watches & Wonders in Hong Kong, this slim, hand wound repeater was surpassed by the Jaeger LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica 11, by a tiny sliver of just 0.19mm. SuchRead More

Two years ago, in 2012, Seiko introduced a Tenth Anniversary model of their Grand Seiko GMT watch –one with a strap, and one with a bracelet. The Grand Seiko watches are very well known among enthusiasts –so much so that if you’re reading this story at all you probably know about them already –but the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie is one of the two foremost watch shows each year.

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.

It’s difficult to generalize about a company with as long a history and as comprehensive a range of technical capacities as Vacheron Constantin, but we can’t help feeling as if this is the year they’ve chosen to make the art of openworked watches their SIHH highlight. It’s a logical thing for them to do; Vacheron […]
