Designed by Ressence for modern explorers, the TYPE 7 brings the brand its first GMT function and its first integrated titanium bracelet.

URWERK gave its bronze case scales to touch, not just to see, and let Martin Frei describe the metal as something almost alive.

The PULSE One gives Chronoswiss its first integrated bracelet, fused into a newly designed titanium case, and keeps the onion crown that has long marked the brand's watches.

In December 2021, Manuel Emch brought Louis Erard together with Patrik Sjögren’s Swedish workshop GoS, pairing Swiss regulator design with the art of Damascus steel.

The Tonda PF turns 36mm and drops every complication but the hands, in a Stone Blue that Parmigiani Fleurier designed to suit any wrist.

Michel Parmigiani, founder of Parmigiani Fleurier, built the new Tonda PF Micro-Rotor around the Golden Ratio, the proportion he says guides everything from the case to the dial.

Xavier de Roquemaurel, chief executive of Czapek & Cie, built the Promenade collection on an idea he states plainly: a beautiful watch has no gender.

The dark red dial of the ReSec Beast Manufacture is guilloché by hand in the Chronoswiss Atelier in Lucerne, at the heart of a deliberate clash of colours.

Czapek gives its best-selling Antarctique Passage de Drake a new dial detail: applied Hindu-Arabic numerals at 12, 3 and 9 o'clock.

Since 2018, Sylvie Fleury has turned make-up palettes into monumental paintings, and Louis Erard has now turned one into a watch.

The second watch from Louis Erard and Vianney Halter began, its CEO says, with an accidental phone call.

Benoît Mintiens, the industrial designer who founded Ressence, calls the TYPE 9 the smallest watch the brand can build given the size of its own components.
