Revue FH - 7 June 2012
The award ceremony of the Cartier Institute of Watchmaking Contest took place on 5 May at the Theâtre de L'heure bleue in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The theme of this 18th edition was to create an animation on the dial side of the 6497 movement, using the existing hand-setting system.

Six schools of watchmaking, eight watch industry apprenticeship centres and one private workshop rose to the challenge. The contest is open to all third-year students of schools of watchmaking and watch industry apprenticeship centres in Switzerland, to students of Lange Uhren GmbH and those undergoing their training in private workshops. This year's theme honed the creativity of the young apprentices, who submitted 83 projects for appraisal by members of the jury. The latter were five in number, all neutral and based outside the Institute but active in the world of watchmaking and the arts in Switzerland: Estelle Fallet, chief curator of the Museum of Art and History of Geneva, Andre Evrard, an artist based in Colombier, Jean-Marc Figols, chief instructor of apprentices at Patek Philippe in Plan-les-Ouates, Giulio Papi, Technical Director at Audemars Piguet (Renaud & Papi) in Le Locle, and finally Yves Piller, a Neuchâtel based clockmaker.

Eight prizes were awarded according to the following criteria: originality of design, quality of execution, functionality of the system and cleanliness of the movement. In the final analysis, Stefan Kuhn of Zeit Zentrum in Granges won the prize for the best all-round work with his «spider» movement. Mario Dunst, of the IWC International Watch Co, was awarded second prize with his «boat» movement and Lionel Moerch, of Joux Valley Technical College, came third. In addition Samuel Schmid, also of the Zeit Zentrum, received the prize for originality for his «caterpillar» calibre. Stefan Kuhn won a week's stay in New York. Students in the top seven places, together with Samuel Schmid, received a Cartier watch, while other participants were presented with a Cartier book.
The contest's rules made the following stipulations: all apprentices worked on the base of the 6497-1 movement; all components linked to the development of the 2012 theme were produced by the participants; they were allowed to use both sides of the calibre (bars and bottom plate); the movement was required to operate before and after carrying out the time-setting function; the time allowed was 32 hours, spread over two weeks (excluding cleaning and assembly of the movement), and lastly, the participants were required to submit a work log describing the operations carried out.

WORLDTEMPUS - 13 February 2012

This is a year when personal choices will truly come into play. Indeed, the breadth of selection is one of the greatest ever, and finding just one trend to highlight simply wasn't possible. This year, brands seem to have focused on offering timepieces that recall their heritage or history, timepieces that are vintage-inspired, or watches that are so technically complex they can only be made in very small editions. What's more, the watches offered are often united by their bold sense of style or ultra-thin, elegant appeal - and black is the color of the year, with more and more brands turning to DLC or even ceramic. Finally, beautiful dials for both men and women take center stage, with many brands offering gemstone accents or special artisan treatments.

100 years or so
At SIHH, for instance, Cartier celebrated 95 years of the quasi-legendary Tank model with a host of modern interpretations. Similarly, Vacheron Constantin celebrates 100 years of the Malte line - the brand's first tonneau-shaped watch was unveiled in 1912. As such, the brand has a host of exciting new Malte tonneau timepieces. Additionally, Audemars Piguet celebrates the 40th anniversary of the famed Royal Oak this year - releasing a variety of stunning new pieces. Many of the newest wristwatches by Baume & Mercier take their inspiration from watches created in the 1940s, and Jaeger-LeCoultre's Memovox Deep Sea Vintage has its roots in the early dive watches from the 1950s. In women's watches, Montblanc steals the limelight with a collection that honors Princess Grace with reinterpreted rose petal motifs contemporarily styled.
Not only is reinterpreted history in the forefront this year, so too is technological prowess and innovation. In fact, some might argue that certain brands are focusing so intensely on garnering new patents and developing new devices that the watches are almost becoming close to untouchable in price. Among such highly defined watches ranging in price from 220,000 to 270,000 euros at SIHH we found the new Duometre a Spherotourbillon by Jaeger-LeCoultre and A. Lange & Sohne's complicated 624-component Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar featuring a patented month ring. Three years in the making, this watch features simultaneously jumping displays.

 
High tech
Some brands at Geneva Time Exhibition, for instance, also offered enticing high-technology timepieces. At Heritage Watch Manufactory, a relatively young brand, the focus is clearly on technical prowess, with such innovative new pieces as true constant force. These pieces' cases and dials were designed by the legendary Eric Giroud and are so exceptional and require such intense hand workmanship that just a few handfuls are made annually. Also at GTE, Cabestan unveiled its Trapezium watch, engineered by master watchmaker Eric Coudray. Named for Euclidean geometry, wherein a quadrilateral with no parallel sides is called a trapezoid - or trapezium - the new geometrically inspired watch offers grand visibility no matter which angle one looks from. The mechanism incorporates a chain and fusee that automatically corrects loss of torque in the mainspring and delivers a constant force to the tourbillon, which is mounted vertically. The decorative side panels and transparent case back also provide lavish 360° views of the mechanism inside.

Indeed the list goes on - suffice it to say that technical innovation is the wave of the future, right alongside watchmaking's rich heritage.

Despite challenging export markets over recent months, the SIHH will continue to play its key role as a foremost private event for professionals in the Fine Watch segment. This next edition will welcome an exclusive clientele of retailers, all ambassadors for Fine Watchmaking worldwide and who will play a decisive role in leading the way out of recession in 2010.
This 20th Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie will thus open its aisles to Greubel Forsey and Richard Mille in a "City of Fine Watchmaking" that will be an even more prestigious showcase for these 19 companies, each of which strives to uphold the culture, innovation and professions that are the foundations for technical and precious Fine Watchmaking.
