Alpina unveils the Shadow Line made up of six models - from its Startimer Pilot and Alpiner collections - featuring smoked dials and equipped with a connected e-strap, exclusively developed by the brand. Best-selling pieces of the brand, the Startimer Pilot big Date Quartz Chronograph, the Startimer Pilot Automatic and the Alpiner 4 Automatic are presented in new interpretations combining urban elegance and sporty technicity.

For the first time, the Masterpiece Square Wheel Retrograde brings together in a single watch two of Maurice Lacroix’s signature complications: the square wheel and the retrograde date. Visually, both these elements share the dial, producing an unusual combination of shapes, with the square wheel and the clover-leaf-shaped gear alongside the arc of the retrograde date, taking up three-quarters of the visible area.

Designer, influencer, musician and founder of the Fragment company, Hiroshi Fujiwara is known worldwide for his collaborations with several brands as well as for the concept stores POOL Aoyama and THE CONVENI.

The Superocean collection was unveiled in 1957, which means it celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2017. Humans approaching their sixtieth birthday are generally starting to think about retirement. Not so for the watch collection, which continues to innovate, releasing new models that combine cutting-edge technology with timeless aesthetics. To celebrate the anniversary, Breitling gave this iconic watch a redesign, while retaining its original spirit. 

Corum has announced a new stage of its Corum Academy programme. The idea: push the boundaries not only of creativity, but of distribution, communication and customer experience. 

How many actresses and actors owe their success at the Oscars and Golden Globes to a performance that was in complete contrast to their image or their nature? The history of theatre and cinema is riddled with such artistic surprises that make people stop and think and say to themselves “I would never have thought that he/she could have played that role so well”.

Stores like A l’Emeraude in Lausanne are a rarity nowadays. Not only is it a bricks-and-mortar-only watch and jewellery store, it is also independent and family run. It has been present around the central Place St. François area of Lausanne since 1909, serving a primarily local and loyal customer base. The Cremers family, who acquired the store in 2004, are only the third owners of this well-known address among watch fans in Lausanne. Since taking over the business, they have expanded it considerably, growing from a 60m2 premises to more than 250m2 in 2017 and doubling the workforce. A l’Emeraude is the only watch retailer in Switzerland with a separate boutique for Patek Philippe and Rolex watches.
