Just in time for the festive season, Corum released two new versions of its Golden Bridge with a new “snow” setting. Made exclusively of diamonds, the snow setting involves arranging a random number of diamonds of all sizes in such a way that together, they cover up the entirety of the metal. It is a high-level jewellery practice for two reasons. 

Skylink celebrates the cosmonaut that changed the face of the globe, in 1975 at a time when the world was in the throes of the Cold War. At 7.20pm on July 17, 1975, two spaceships were docked in space; only the hatch of Soyuz 19 separated Alexey Leonov from Apollo. In opening the hatchway, he also opened up a new world of peace and cooperation; his first interstellar handshake with Commander Thomas Stafford was an unforgettable moment.

The depth of the Cat’s Eye Majestic, Celestial and Tourbillon's aventurine glass dial irresistibly evokes the Island of Murano. A place that gave rise to masterpieces that were to experience extraordinary destinies in powerful families and royal courts. Air, water and fire are transformed in Murano, by means of preciously safeguarded trade secrets. The aventurine glass (also known as goldstone) was born in the 18th century from mishandling by a glassmaker who accidentally ("all’avventura") spilled copper filings into the traditional mixture of silica, soda and incandescent lime. While initially slow to react, the matter was gradually transformed into sparkling glass studded with golden spangles.

There are few single addresses in Lausanne or indeed in the surrounding area of Lake Geneva where you can view the collections of Patek Philippe and Rolex together and, if you are an existing customer of either brand, have your watch serviced on site. With just a single exception (the Rolex DeepSea, which requires testing in a specially designed container to check its water resistance to 3,900 metres), A l’Emeraude can handle servicing work for any Rolex watch. Watchmaker Loïc has been trained by on the Rolex base calibres as well as the Daytona chronograph movement and has also attended exacting training courses at Patek Philippe. The second in-store watchmaker, Oliver, who has 12 years of experience at A l’Emeraude, handles all other brands sold by the store. Both watchmakers are also equally qualified to sell watches to customers. 

Armin Strom - Masterpiece Dual Time Resonance

At 59mm wide, Armin Strom’s new Dual Time Resonance is anything but discreet. In its latest configuration, the brand’s revolutionary resonance clutch spring connects two movements powering two separate time zones. There is no need for a seconds hand, since the fact that the two movements are beating in resonance means that they are perfectly synchronized. Instead, the two gauges at 6 o’clock on each subdial show the power reserve for each movement and the central subdial has a handy 24-hour scale.

Following the success of the Tonda Métropolitaine Sélène, launched in 2016, Parmigiani Fleurier presents two new models in rose gold, displaying the moon phases thanks to a movement produced entirely in-house.
