Baselworld is over and brands are looking to the future (and the past) in what is set to be an exciting year for Fine Watchmaking. 2016 was undeniably a tough year but brands can now be seen stepping back into reality and listening to consumers.

Delicate and rare, the métiers d’art show watchmaking from a new perspective. Blancpain, Breguet, Bulgari, Chanel, Dior, Harry Winston, Hermès, Hublot, Jaquet Droz and Patek Philippe have again turned their hand to these exquisite crafts, with stunning results.

There’s always a good reason to take a trip down memory lane, starting with the many icons that celebrate a special birthday this year. And as the community of old-school fans grows, it’s clear that there is no business like vintage business.

All is revealed with the Octo Tourbillon Sapphire, which sheds light on the mechanical complexity of its movement. A spectacular new interpretation of the octagon’s pure form.

With its larger, 43-mm case, water-resistance to 1,220 metres and a new 3235 calibre, the Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller is fully equipped to conquer the ocean’s depths.

The Petite Heure Minute lends its uncluttered lines to the refinement of black Grand Feu enamel, the backdrop for delicate miniature painting of a lion, a pink flamingo or koi carps.
