A packed programme, a shorter schedule, and more connected than ever. Geneva, Thursday June 7, 2018 – Save the date: the next Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) at Palexpo, Geneva, will take place January 14-17, 2019. Setting the tone for the twelve months to come, it adopts a four-day schedule instead of the usual five with the convenience of longer opening hours, every day from 8.30am to 8pm.

Now that the excitement of January’s Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie has died down, now that we’ve had time to soak up the year’s new styles, here’s our choice of the ten most inspirational and desirable of them all. Take your pick!

At SIHH, Ulysse Nardin shattered a taboo by presenting an erotic watch.

Should we really be asking what time we have on our wrist? With so many devices to keep us punctual, the luxury watch becomes an ideal canvas for expressing a different vision of time. As well as exceptional mechanisms, SIHH is also the backdrop for poetry, philosophy, even provocation.

The Richemont brand came to SIHH with the Baumatic, an in-house movement that proves it is possible to develop a completely new calibre and stay within an affordable price range.

The back of the Arceau Pocket is sheathed in alligator leather. This same pattern of scales is reproduced on the crystal dial using the Millefiori technique. Hermès is the master of illusion.
