Editorial – Bags and Watches
To kick off the week on a stylish note, our Editorial Director Sophie Furley, the office’s fashion fairy godmother, had some fun pairing a selection of 10 watches with the most beautiful luggage, handbags and backpacks she could find. After all, being stylish is not only about what you buy, but how you put your look together!
Interview with Simon Messner
Next, WorldTempus sits down with Montblanc's alpine ambassador Simon Messner to chat about the Antarctic Ice Marathon that took place this week. For the feat, Messner ran alongside Montblanc’s Global Managing Director of the watch division, Laurent Lecamp, with a Geosphere 0 Oxygen on his wrist. More details here.
Omega and Hesalite: A Moonwalk Through History
Our correspondent Yannick Nardin takes a closer look at the material known as Hesalite, which Omega has been using for years. It garnered its iconic status thanks to a journey into outer space with the Moonwatch and is still used to this day because of its useful properties (which you can discover here).
Walking the Dog with Claude Meylan
At WorldTempus, we do interviews a bit differently. We like to go outside and chat with watch experts in unusual places – driving around town in an Aston Martin, on boat trips on Lac Léman, and in this new video series, we are taking them dog walking! This week, we went for a stroll with Claude Meylan’s Philippe Belais.
L’Armoriale: Hapy Birthday Michel Parmigiani!
Moving along, our correspondent Olivier Müller takes a closer look at Parmigiani Fleurier’s latest release: the L’Armoriale Pocket Watch. The 58mm timepiece houses a special movement that dates from 1880 and was launched in celebration of Michel Parmigiani, who celebrated his 73rd birthday on December 2nd.
Olivia Crouan: “Audemars Piguet’s true force is in its spirit”
Next up, Sophie Furley had the pleasure of chatting with Audemars Piguet’s chief brand officer, Olivia Crouan, about why Dubai Watch Week is the brand’s only watch fair, the magic of winning the GPHG’s Aiguille d’Or, and the power of women in management.

Last but not least, for our new releases of the week, we have the Beauregard Lili Onyx collection, the Breitling Superocean Heritage ’57 Highlands capsule collection, the Bulgari Aluminium x Gran Turismo, the Frederique Constant Highlife Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Manufacture, the Hermès ARCEAU Costume de Fête, the Vacheron Constantin Overseas tourbillon high jewellery and the Zenith DEFY Extreme Mirror.
