Event News

This past weekend in Miami, Florida, the first ever Watches & Wonders Miami took place in and around Palm Court in the Miami Design District. This event marked the first time a Watches & Wonders exhibition had been staged in America, and – judging by the success of the show—it won’t be the last.

This unique event, hosted by the Miami Design District and Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie, runs February 16th to 19th 2018.

The exhibiting Maisons have decided that Watches&Wonders will continue its successful run in Asia every other year, making it a Biennial. The next edition will be from September 27th to 30th 2017 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). At the same time, new developments are under consideration in other parts of the world.

Roger Dubuis has long since proven that its bold and beautiful timepieces are always far more than the sum of their parts, however complex and numerous these components may be. Building on this premise, the Manufacture that brought you the Excalibur in 2005, the Quatuor in 2013 and the Spider in 2015 – and has also established its legitimacy in the field of pocket watches – now proudly introduces the Excalibur Spider Pocket Time Instrument at Watches&Wonders 2015.

The concept of the Evil Eye, also known as Ayin Harsha in Arabic, Mauvais Œil in French, Dhristi in Hindu and Ayin Ha’ra in Hebrew, is recorded in every culture from early history. This universal symbol of foreboding summons suffering and misfortune to whoever is exposed to its power. The Evil Eye knows no bounds except those imposed on it by various protective talismans, such as the Eye of Horus amulet, the Jewish red string or the Irish four leaf clover, to name just a few. Today, a new talisman to protect against these negative energies in the 21st century has been developed by a visionary of contemporary watchmaking.
