Jointly organised by the Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship and the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, Singular Talents presents 15 of the finest European craftsmen and women, each of whom holds a unique place in the world of artisanal excellence. It is also the inaugural exhibition of the Arcades des Arts, the newly opened gallery space at Pont de la Machine in Geneva.

From April 25th to 29th 2020, the leading names in Fine Watchmaking will be in Geneva for the 30th edition of SIHH which becomes Watches & Wonders Geneva. This new format welcomes 31 watch brands including MB&F and H. Moser & Cie. They join the Historic Maisons after four years as part of the Carré des Horlogers, which continues to spotlight the most talented independent watchmakers and in 2020 sees the arrival of five new brands.

To mark the second breakfast meeting held at the Bucherer Gallery in Geneva under the auspices of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, a new group of enthusiasts gathered to debate the concept of value in the current watchmaking scene. Once again, the lessons learned were many and varied.

Fiona Krüger rose to prominence with her Skull watches. She followed this with the Chaos collection, whose proprietary movement was developed with Agenhor. The designer reminded an audience at Dubai Watch Week that art and philosophy have their place in time measurement.

Patrick Pruniaux, CEO of Ulysse Nardin and Girard-Perregaux, believes watch brands, irrespective of size, fall into two categories: the exciting ones and the others. We found out more at Dubai Watch Week.

Guest of honour at Dubai Watch Week, the non-executive president of LVMH’s Watch division made a passionate appeal in support of Swiss watchmaking, an industry that “doesn’t exist”. Prior to this, Hublot had unveiled a special edition for the Emirates.
