Baselworld ?
We are proud to be amongst the brands to participate in the upcoming Baselworld and excited to see how well the concepts and new ideas that the fair management has proposed lately will be implemented and perceived by the public. Watch enthusiast around the world  may definitely expect innovative technologies, highly functional complications and outstanding design paired with unique tradition from Carl F. Bucherer. 

The Toric Capitole Rose Gold Brown takes its inspiration from a pocket watch made by Perrin Frères (Neuchâtel) dating from the early 19th Century, now owned by the Edouard and Maurice Sandoz Foundation (EMSF). This collection is a resource showcasing the genius of watchmaking's "old masters". Parmigiani Fleurier pays tribute to this unique collection of horological works of art by recreating some of these mechanical wonders in its own manufacture. The unique Toric Capitole Rose Gold Brown, with its sector display and minute repeater, is one of these exceptional timepieces. The watch takes its name from the Capitolium in Rome - the religious and political heart of Ancient Rome - the geometrically spiralling floor tiles of which are reproduced in the pattern of the dial. 

André Lüthi was managing director of Switzerland’s Globetrotter Travel Service from 1992 until 2012. Since 2013 he has been Chairman of the Board of Globetrotter Travel Service and CEO of the holding company, Globetrotter Group, with annual sales of over 250 million Swiss francs. He sees travel as a way of understanding people and learning life lessons.

In 2018 Baselworld became the Brexit of the watch industry. Brands had to choose whether they wanted to be in or out. A number of brands decided to take back control of their own marketing and exhibition budgets by leaving the show, resulting in an exodus that left cavernous spaces in the exhibition halls. It seemed that the situation on the ground floor would not be too bad, until the industry learned on a quiet Sunday morning over the summer that the entire Swatch Group would be leaving the show. Given that most of the Swatch Group’s brands had left their stands in place, this led to some hectic toing and froing between the watchmaking valleys and Basel to recover furniture and fittings. 

A Breguet watch involves around thirty artisanal crafts. Among them is one that stands out at first sight: guilloché, which the Maison alternately refers to as engine-turning or hand-engraving on a rose engine It is one of the fundamental codes of the Manufacture, its aesthetic signature. Does that mean purely aesthetic?
