The watchmaker has unveiled Wild One of 1, an innovative concept for customising a timepiece from the collection. This online platform offering a multitude of choices enables enthusiasts to determine every element of their watch, from A to Z.
The watchmaking house unveils a one-of-a-kind timepiece, specially crafted for motorsport legend Jean Todt. Fashioned from a single block of platinum, the model Anywhere reimagines the Van Gogh’s famous painting, "The Starry Night".
The Academy plays a key role in the operation of the GPHG. Its members annually nominate the six timepieces that will go on to compete in each category and also choose the winners alongside the Jury, itself entirely drawn from the Academy.
The Biel/Bienne-based company continues to present artworks through its timepieces. It has recently teamed up with the famous Tate galleries to bring art to an ever-wider audience. An ideal partner, Tate Modern presents collections that transcend time and artistic genres, while its unique Tate Modern Lates programme invites the public to participate in the life of the museum.
Founded in 1884, Breitling is celebrating its 140th anniversary. To mark this historic jubilee, the watchmaking company is paying tribute to its landmark innovations and will be staging dedicated events, exhibitions and special launches throughout the year. As part of these festivities, it is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the first non-stop round-the-world balloon flight.
The watchmaker has unveiled its second collaboration with visionary Japanese fashion designer Kunihiko Morinaga. The new Rado True Square X Kunihiko Special Edition watch features a square polished black monobloc high-tech ceramic case and crown. The black PVD sandblasted titanium case back is fitted with a sapphire crystal bearing the metallised inscription: Kunihiko Morinaga Special Edition.
The event concluded on an extremely positive note. Over and above the constantly rising figures, it crystallised the unity of an industry driven by the same desire for sharing, excellence and expertise. The opening of the show to the general public, along with its extension into the city centre, have become key factors in its success.
The 2024 edition of Time to Watches was an unprecedented success. A record attendance of unprecedented quality, an exciting programme and delighted exhibitors: these three pillars contributed to the event’s favourable overall outcome. The 52 participating brands attracted over 7,000 visitors,20% up on last year.
