Created in 2014, the Maison des Métiers d’Art was born of Cartier’s desire to share, preserve and develop a body of rare expertise threatened with extinction. Within it, watchmaking and jewellery meet and mingle through highly sophisticated creations, nurturing a limitless palette of expression.
Born in 1944 in South Tyrol, a mountainous region of Northern Italy, Reinhold Messner is largely considered one of the world’s greatest high-altitude mountaineers. His achievements have continued inspiring fellow alpinists throughout the years, with many striving to follow in his footsteps to this day.
The watch Maison meets a pinnacle of rock history: the Rolling Stones’ album Some Girls, whose cover had to be extensively reworked to meet the standards of the time. It is an automaton, entirely hand-crafted in the grand Jaquet Droz tradition.
Composite materials have revolutionised the watchmaking and luxury sectors, offering unprecedented creative possibilities in terms of design, textures and colours. By combining materials such as carbon, natural fibres, precious metals and recycled elements, Composites Busch develops tailor-made solutions for unique products.
To celebrate its building's 50th anniversary, the Musée International d'Horlogerie is unveiling two new creations: the MIH Gaïa Series III watch and a special 50th anniversary edition featuring 50 unique dials, hand-guilloché by Georges Brodbeck, winner of the 2023 Prix Gaïa.
The Maison has unveiled a one-of-a-kind timepiece – the Golden Bridge “Serpent” – perpetuating the collection’s inherent elegance and sophistication. This timepiece features a tonneau-shaped 5N pink gold case with sapphire crystals on almost all sides, offering a view of the Golden Bridge CO Calibre 113.
Hublot continues its partnership with Sorai, the rhino conservation organisation founded by former international cricketer and Hublot ambassador Kevin Pietersen. The rhino is still threatened with extinction, impacting the stability of the 5 keystone species that play a crucial role in the safekeeping of our ecosystem and environment.
Variability in materials, manufacturing processes, observation and lighting conditions can influence the final perception of colour, making faithful reproduction complex and demanding for the human eye. Sectors such as watchmaking, cosmetics, luxury goods and the medical sector have growing needs in terms of colour control.
