I have received the Cartier watch and noticed that there was a small dent on it. Oh well, what do you expect for a swiss army watch for [$]!

Review by Angela Raymond, From United States Hamptonville

This will be a big year for heritage at Cartier with the opening of the renovated farm in La Chaux-de-Fonds that is the new home for the brand's metiers d'art craftsmen…

I am always delighted when people link this to the idea of heritage. It's not necessarily the definition of my role in terms of heritage but it is also how I see things. We are building tomorrow's heritage today and this is precisely what the metiers d'art are. It is today's riches that will become tomorrow's heritage.
Heritage is often seen as something that is oriented towards the past and people only see the idea of preservation. But this is not the main aspect of my work. I have to consider the preservation of today's work. In other words, based on the experience that we already have, decide what we should keep for future generations.

How do you approach this challenge, particularly in an era where technology is evolving rapidly?
To take just one example, consider photography. We have been systematically photographing our creations since 1906. So the evolution of photographic techniques is also part of our heritage. Today, of course, we are in the digital age and we photograph everything digitally. We have our own internal studio with our own full-time photographers.

How big is your team?
There are around 40 people in the design studios, then the heritage department is divided into three units. The archives are split across three sites: Paris, London and New York, where there are about 10 people working. The documentation department is based solely in Paris and consists of five people working on everything that is not considered as belonging to the archives but which nevertheless forms part of our history. The archives concern everything from creation to production and the sale of our products, which by its very nature is confidential. Only our designers have free access to this. Documentation, on the other hand, is available to everyone because it is either material that the brand has made public over the years or material in the public domain that makes a reference to the brand, such as advertising, mentions in literature, appearances in films and the like. The third department is the collection, which is stored in a safe in Geneva, where five people work.

How do you approach the strategy for Cartier?
I have regular interdepartmental meetings to discuss style and trends and the direction we should be heading in. I like to do this outside of the day-to-day business, where we are often working to specific briefs and at a very fast pace. So I like to add something extra and look to create objects that meet a brief that does not exist. But this is a battle with time. I organize cultural seminars at least once a month where we meet other artists with our designers or visit museums and exhibitions. This is essential to gain fresh ideas and not to get too absorbed in developing things that people have asked us to develop, in order to be able to invent outside the box. It's also interesting to see people's different reactions at the same time when faced with the same thing, which helps us to share the overall visions for the brand with everyone.

What is your biggest challenge?
My biggest challenge is having to say no. It's very easy to say yes but creative types can be very sensitive so if I say no to something I have to be able to explain and justify myself.

Black is associated with virility, power, mystery; and blue with the night, infinity, space, the ocean and even royalty. Grey? That would be…. That would be what exactly? Now here's a colour of which the attributes are not yet clearly defined, yet which is attracting an increasing number of brands. Above and beyond silver or white gold dials that are naturally grey, a large number of models are appearing with "applied" shades of grey. Sober and elegant, it has the advantage of treating existing dials to a brand-new look. Grey also has the ability to blend into chic, sporty or everyday environments. Could this be watchmaking's latest chromatic 'nugget'?

Institutional manufacturers in the forefront

Several brands are hooked. Starting with Chaumet, which has just revealed a steel Dandy chronograph with intense grey hues, alternating between a polished surface and satin-finished sides. This sober piece thus plays on the multiple reflections which grey can provide in order to produce a sport-chic look.

Cartier's ultra-thin Ballon Bleu de Cartier comes with a new anthracite guilloche face. Here, the Manufacture plays on the contrast between the depth of the grey and the glow of the gold. Its finely chased dial allows it to capture the light in a number of ways, resulting in endless variations in tone depending on the light.

Chopard, on the other hand, opts for a slate-grey shade with the L.U.C.XP. Available in rose or white gold variations, this timepiece, winner of the 2006 Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in the ultra-thin watch category has become a classic of Chopard's L.U.C. collection. The new slate colour of the dial equipped with four Arabic numerals and applied hour-markers enhances the sobriety of the creation and emphasises its elegance even further.

Talking about slate, Harry Winston has applied the principle almost literally with the new Midnight Monochrome Automatic that appeared in stores a few months ago. Like all the brand's "Monochrome" versions, it explores the nuances of a single shade applied to the dial. The slate effect chosen here gives the model a distinctly a mineral appearance, far from the perfection of smooth dials and even featuring a large number of eye-catching rough patches.

The two-tone approach of a grey dial and gold hour-markers also appears to have captivated Vacheron Constantin, as illustrated in its recent 20-piece limited series created for Parisian retailer Dubail's 20th anniversary.

Subtle shades of grey for a casual chic atittude

A few weeks ago at the SIHH, Audemars Piguet presented its brand new Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, a piece featuring a slate-grey dial with a "Mega Tapisserie" motif, which endows the watch with multiple faces according to how it catches the light.

Still on the sporting side of Fine Watchmaking, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe comes in a dark grey like the seas for which it was intended.
Finally, Ball Watch regularly uses this colour which appears on two of its current models: the Trainmaster Roman and Cannonball. The combination is quite unique, since it marries this modern grey with a design drawing on the brand's aesthetic fundamentals from the 1930s. A daring move that proves a perfect success!

Light grey or dark grey: why choose?

DeWitt has gone in a different direction with each shade of grey getting its own dial, as illustrated in the two variations of the T8 Tourbillon, each showcasing one of the shades to maximum effect.

At Jaquet Droz, the chromatic nuances of grey are used in accordance with the technical nature of the watch. On the mineral front, ceramic goes grey to magnify the dials of the Grande Seconde Reserve de Marche by Jaquet Droz, while a slate-grey dial also graces the Chrono Monopoussoir Cercle Ardoise..

In the realm of the new watchmaking generation, Christoph Claret is a long-time fan of grey dials. He successively unveiled these shades in the Kantharos launched in 2013 and the Poker in 2014. Slowly but surely, the master watchmaker is tending to assert a powerful aesthetic signature consisting precisely of these grey dials swept over by red hands.

The forerunners

At Zentih, grey is part of the brand's heritage. It is also one of the primary colours used by EL Primero since 1969. The brand with the guiding star remains true to this colour, notably with its re-edition of the 410 version of the famous calibre, which was launched a few weeks ago. It had been preceded by the Elite Ultra Thin in similar hues and remains a grey reference for Zenith.

In addition, speaking of "chronograph legends born in 1969 ", it is entertaining to note that TAG Heuer's famous Monaco has also been re-interpreted in a "Vintage" variation, entirely clothed in grey and launched in 2010.

That same year, Glashutte Original unveiled the PanoMaticLunar XL, with a superb uniformly deep grey matt dial. Girard-Perregaux also offer a similar moonphase with a grey dial on the most recent Vintage 1945 XXL Large Date and Moon Phases model.

For women, grey is coming into play more progressively. In 2013 Patek Philippe launched the Ladies Nautilus models with new smoky grey dials adorned with a relief motif forming small waves and specially created for the ladies' model.
