Editorial – Independent Talents Seek the Spotlight
To kick off the week, our GMT Publishing CEO and founder Brice Lechevalier attended the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for Independent Creatives and shared with us insights of the event, from the finalists’ incredible creations to the announcement of the lucky winner.
Urwerk at the Speed of Light
Next up, our correspondent Olivier Müller took a closer look at Urwerk’s newest release: the UR-100V LightSpeed. Its most notable feature: showing how long light from the Sun takes to reach the different planets in our solar system. Get all the details here.
The Watchmaker and The Climber
Our Editorial Director Sophie Furley had the pleasure of sitting down with industry shakers Karl-Friedrich Scheufele (Chopard co-president) and Thomas Bubendorfer (award-winning climber, author and motivational speaker). They chatted about their first encounter, their shared love for the mountains, how to deal with fears and take risks. Catch the whole conversation here.
Date Night
For Valentine’s Day, our Editor-in-Chief Suzanne took the bold approach of imagining watches as people and where she would take them on a first date. The lucky contenders were none other than Omega’s new Mini Tresor models… Click here to find out whether she would take them on a second rendez-vous!
Trilobe Strengthens Artistic Crafts in Paris
Moving along, the emerging independent watch brand Trilobe is progressing in two parallel directions: crafting movements in La Chaux-de-Fonds, while expanding its Parisian workshop, now situated in the heart of the French capital, to accommodate a growing array of artistic crafts and watchmakers. Find out more here.
Time to Fly
Birds (and more specifically, their feathers) have always been a source of inspiration for the watchmaking world. Our correspondent Hervé Borne has curated a selection of nine of these feathery and innovative timepieces, showcasing artistic crafts and traditional skills. Check them out right over here.
New Releases
Last but not least, for our new releases of the week, we have the BA111OD CHPTR_Δ AGIL, the Louis Moinet ASTRONEF TECHNO and the Omega Constellation collection.
