Numbers have played significant roles throughout cultures in both scientific and spiritual realms, their importance deriving from ancient societies which believed that each numerological figure possessed a distinctive meaning. For the Chinese, the number eight symbolizes wealth, prosperity and the totality of the universe. For mathematicians, an “8” lying down stands for infinity, while the […]

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.

Zenith was going through a period of experimentation, under its former CEO Thierry […]

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, […]

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 […]

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.
