Since launching its first in-house calibre in 2006, quality and independence have been the watchwords at Maurice Lacroix, still at its original location in Saignelégier (canton of Jura / Switzerland). Its Mémoire 1 watch was one of the highlights of Baselworld 2008.

Their feather weight and slender size means they often go unnoticed, and yet with the exception of disc and roller displays, the vast majority of watches use hands to indicate the time. A visit to Waeber HMS, a maker of hands based in Fleurier.

Jaeger-LeCoultre revisits one of the successes that has marked its 175 years of existence with new interpretations of the Atmos clock, for which this is also a milestone year.

Parmigiani has signed a partnership deal with Pershing, the Italian luxury yacht builder, an alliance that has resulted in an exclusive collection of sports chronographs.

As Stanislas de Quercize points out, how time is displayed is becoming a sign of originality in watchmaking.

Imagined by Michel Parmigiani, the Kalpa Hemispheres is a dual time-zone watch whose second time zone can be adjusted to the minute. And if that weren't enough of an achievement, the Manufacture is ready to start deliveries.
