Review by Margaret W, From Espana Hondarribia

The tomboy spirit
Chanel draws on masculine clothing and its watchmaking corollary to blur boundaries. We were already more than happy to wear boyfriend jeans, XXL sweaters, a trendy tux or a man's shirt. This time the Boy.Friend watch is pushing the style combo right the way through to the wrist. An octagonal shape, generous dimensions, b lines and highly contemporary sobriety outline the contours of this elegant watch offered in beige gold or white gold, with or without diamonds, in two sizes. To extend an androgynous look or lend a disruptive touch to a sensual aura, Boy.Friend embodies that which is feminine by drawing on masculine inspiration. There's no longer any point in stealing your man's possessions!

Graphic geometry
Black, white, contrasts, straight lines, and shapes which echo each other in perfect symmetry… Between futurist aesthetics and graphic reminiscences of geometry classes delivered at school, clothing pays tribute to black and white combined through rigorous shapes. This chic trend is also influencing watchmaking, as elegantly illustrated by Tiffany & Co with a cocktail watch that beautifully offsets deep black with the white sparkle of diamonds. Eighty-six round and baguette cut diamonds frame the refined white mother-of-pearl dial. The linear precision is almost mathematical.

Red passion
Red, everywhere, from head to toe… From stilettos to coats via stockings, this winter the color of passion is spilling over onto ladies' wardrobes and making its way onto wrists with a plethora of watches complete with stylish straps. A single touch is enough to light up the moment and the feminine figure. At Vulcain, the guilloche dial and strap create a harmonious tone-ontone effect. A row of diamonds on the 42mm bezel illuminates this alarm watch featuring colors that give a delightful twist to its design and add a warm touch to winter days. To be paired with matching lipstick and nail polish…

Brilliant in every sense of the term
Between strass, sequins and lame fabrics, fashion is draped in luster. Yet there is nothing bling about this hot trend that Patek Philippe interprets with all the discretion and classicism for which it is renowned. The Ladies' Annual Calendar is complicated and brilliant in both literal and figurative senses of the term, enhancing its mechanical sophistication with a mother-of-pearl dial whose iridescent beauty reflects the sparkle of a circle of 361 diamonds. Robed in the warmth of pink gold, a moon phase, annual calendar and small seconds make themselves at home on the wrist. Golden, brilliant, and quintessentially elegant.

Animal finery
Tiger, zebra, leopard print, shearling, furs… The animal kingdom is an ongoing staple in feminine wardrobes, interpreted through all manner of colors and guises. In watchmaking, the same wild enthusiasm has taken hold of the passing of time. Harry Winston, having glorified feather art in subtle and sumptuous creations, has now moved on to butterfly wings. The Premier Precious Butterfly Automatic 36mm reveals an amazing miniature canvas consisting of iridescent pigments taken from the wings of the dainty insect. The result is fascinating : captured by Harry Winston, hours and minutes dance with endless grace across a kaleidoscope of bright colors…

Lace and embroidery
Sometimes bohemian and precious, often poetic yet always traditional, embroidery asserts itself in a delicate and transparent manner on timepieces and timepieces. Far from being outdated, the art of embroidery and lacework is a vibrant skills to which Hublot pays tribute. To create the Big Broderie, Hublot worked with Bischhoff, a benchmark firm in the field of 100% Swiss Made embroidery. A skull motif embroidered on tulle was used before being encased and molded in carbon fiber like a stack of sheets. A new and exclusive process for a resolutely haute couture watch.

The first Leroy boutique was opened by Charles-Basile Leroy in 1785 in the arcades of the Palais Royal in Paris. The history of the brand continued through the 20th century and is going through a renaissance today.

Leroy has been owned by the Festina Group since 2004. In 2010, a decision was made to settle in Besançon, at one time the capital of French watchmaking where Leroy's workshop was set up in 1889. Back then, it was important for Leroy's watchmakers to be close to their Swiss suppliers and to the Besançon Observatory with which the brand wished to collaborate.

At first, our plan was for Leroy movements to be made in Switzerland and the watches assembled in France. We have since reconsidered that decision, and relocated to the Vallee de Joux, in Le Sentier, where Festina has a factory. This move allows us to have the "Swiss Made" designation. It is a better launching pad for us.

Leroy has a rich history. So many brands that shall remain unnamed make up a past to give themselves credibility. But Leroy has signed timepieces and the authentic records that trace its history back to the 18th century.

The Leroy family of watchmakers created exceptional timepieces for generations. And that explains their exceptional clients that included Napoleon Bonaparte, Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria, Dwight Eisenhower, Antoine de Saint Exupery, even Debussy and Matisse. All this is preserved in our archives.  

Today, among the high-end brands of watchmaking, I would cite in the same benchmark, A. Lange & Söhne, Kari Voutilainen, Laurent Ferrier and Philippe Dufour, who create beautiful timepieces in an artisanal way.

The most noteworthy is the "Leroy 01" that is part of the collections of the Musee du Temps in Besançon. 

In 1867, Leroy made a watch with nine complications that impressed watch collectors around the world and in particular, the Russian Count Nicolas de Nostitz, who decided to order an even more complicated watch with 11 complications. That watch was then presented at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1878 and subsequently delivered to Count Nostitz.

In 1896, after the death of the Count, Doctor Antonio Augusto de Carvalho Monteiro, a Portuguese collector, acquired the watch. He asked Leroy to add even more complications. Leroy presented the new watch boasting 24 complications at the Universal Exhibition in 1900 where it won the Grand Prix.

The Leroy 01 remained the world's most complicated watch until 1989, when it ceded that honour to the Patek Philippe calibre 89.

The challenge for us, given that so much has been done by Leroy in the areas of chronometry, sports, military, marine, was to select an angle for our future development.

We chose the path of chronometric precision. The primary raison d'être of a mechanical movement is its precision. You can always add poetic complications, but to be credible, we felt we needed to continue on the path of precision.

We are aiming to produce 800 to 1000 pieces annually in the next few years with price points between 25,000 and 200,000 Swiss francs, notwithstanding the grand complications.

In the meantime, we must make our name known to the retailers. Our distribution network is limited for now. We are present today at Dubail in Paris, Hausmann in Rome, Pisa in Milano, Morini in Forte dei Marmi, and soon at Antoine de Macedo in Paris.

We have a magnificent card to play and it is all coming together.

Watches have always had my fullest attention. As far as I can recall I have been fascinated by the lifestyle that watches represent. And flipping through National Geographic magazines during my youth in the 1970s, I realized that in fact. Rolex truly offered the lifestyle they communicated in their ads, as the articles inside the magazine showed participants in daring North Pole as well as deep-water expeditions wearing their rugged watches. These pictures had a huge impact on me and the dramatic and b visuals from the articles National Geographic became my hypothetical future Curriculum Vitae.
Dream watch
Rolex was however not the only big advertiser in National Geographic. Patek Philippe also often dominated the first spreads of the magazine and I recall ads dominated by a large sword with a watch attached to it. The watch was the Nautilus and I must have been six or seven years old when I saw this particular advert for the first time.
At that age you dream about becoming a knight in shining armour (at least I did) and therefore my interest for the Nautilus hanging from the sword made it an instant dream watch.
For many years I cut out pictures of the Nautilus, whenever it was featured in my parents' glossy magazines, and I even put Patek Philippe stickers underneath my skateboard, prompting the other guys at the ramp to ask what shoes/boards/trucks this Patek-dude offered.
30 years in waiting
It was not until 2007, 30 years after I saw the first advert, that I purchased my first Patek Philippe Nautilus. It was however not only the memories of the big sword that made me decide to purchase a ref. 5711 Nautilus. It was also a friendship with the owner of a vintage watch shop in the centre of Copenhagen that influenced me in adding this dream watch to my collection.
The store-owner always talked lovingly about the Nautilus. The designer behind it, Gerald Genta, the perfect case/bracelet ratio, the slim movement inside with the 21-carat gold rotor and of course the fascinating black/blue dial. His passionate comments about the Nautilus struck a chord with me and I knew that I would own one at some point in my life.
Collecting the Nautilus
The purchase of the ref. 5711 Nautilus triggered my fascination for this model range and since then my collection of Nautilus have grown substantially as I have added another four to my collection: a ref. 5980 Chronograph in steel, a ref. 5726 Annual Calendar in steel with a leather strap and two ref. 5712 models with power reserve and moonphases - one in steel and one in pink gold fitted with a crocodile leather strap.
It may seem like a unilateral way of collecting watches. I do however collect other brands, but not one specific model. But perhaps I merely suffer from a bad case of Nautilism?

GMT XXL - Summer 2009

After devoting its cover page and its special report to the Aquanaut in 2007 and to the Gondolo in 2008, this year's Swiss edition of GMT XXL is focusing on Patek Philippe chronographs: from the thinnest in the world (following page) to the most iconic, unveiling the engraved brand-new Patek Philippe Seal (see box).

After it was launched in January 2006, the Annual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 5960 in platinum instantly became a bestseller among Patek Philippe's complications. With its patented Annual Calendar and Patek Philippe's proprietary self-winding chronograph movement, it offers functions that are very useful in everyday situations. Now, this technical opus also comes in a case made of 18K rose gold and is engraved with the Patek Philippe Seal. Developed and manufactured in-house, the self-winding chronograph caliber addressed an expectation long harbored by many aficionados and collectors of Patek Philippe timepieces.

In addition to the normal time indication, the movement stands out with numerous features. It has a flyback column-wheel chronograph, a power-reserve indicator, an annual calendar with day, date, and month, and a day/night indicator. The winding power is generated by a unidirectional central rotor in solid 21K gold. With its classic column wheel and a vertical disk clutch, the movement combines the traditional chronograph control concept with a modern power transmission solution. It offers high functional reliability and eliminates the danger of hand bounce when the chronograph is activated. Because of its low-wear design and the absence of any negative influence on the rate accuracy of the watch, the chronograph hand can be used as a continuously running seconds hand without hesitation.

The patented Patek Philippe Annual Calendar is a full-function calendar that automatically recognizes months with 30 and 31 days and when kept running only needs to be corrected by hand once a year on March 1. It displays the day, date, and month in three apertures and controls the day/night indicator at 6 o'clock. On three concentric scales, it indicates elapsed minutes and hours while the chronograph is running. On the two outer scales, the longer red hand counts the minutes from 0 to 30 (red numerals) and from 30 to 60 (blue numerals), while the shorter blue hand keeps track of as many as 12 elapsed hours along the innermost scale. The day/night (am/pm) indication is a small round aperture that progressively changes its color from white (day) to dark blue (night) and vice-versa.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR CHRONOGRAPH REF. 5970

An iconic Patek Philippe complication since the 1930s and 1940s, the famous Perpetual Calendar Chronograph pursues its majestic evolution with the serenity of a multiple record-holder in sales orchestrated by the finest auctioneers. Presented in rose and white gold versions with a new 40 mm diameter at the 2004 Basel Show and in yellow gold in 2008, reference 5970 with its distinctive lugs appears this year in a platinum version, with an ebony-black dial. The broad bezel opening leaves even more room for the dial which now comes in black, thus providing space for a 1000-based tachometric scale arranged around the minute track, yet without reducing the clear read-off of the hours and the perpetual calendar indications.

WORLD THINNEST SPLIT-SECONDS CHRONOGRAPH REF. 5959

With the world-first presentation of the thinnest ever split-seconds columnwheel chronograph in 2005, Patek Philippe reaffirmed its supreme mastery of complications. Despite measuring just 5.25 mm thick, Caliber CH R 27-525 PS is endowed with all the signature features of traditional fine watchmaking. It is housed in a magnificent platinum case designed in the classic Officer watch style and measuring just 8.5 mm thick. This feat is due in particular to the distinctive construction of the minute counter which moves continuously forward instead of jumping after each complete minute, as is generally the case. The minute counter is driven by an intermediate wheel (a small toothed wheel that is part of the time-setting mechanism), which meshes with the cannon-pinion. This intermediate wheel has the same number of teeth as the cannon-pinion, which performs one revolution per hour; it therefore turns at the same speed, which makes it possible to feature a 60-minute dragging counter on the dial. The shaft of the minute counter crosses through the entire movement right through to the chronograph mechanism on the bridge side.

PATENTED TEETH PROFILE

Another exclusive feature of this movement is the fact that the chronograph mechanism wheels are fitted with patented tooth profiles. To transmit the energy from the fourth wheel to the chronograph wheel via an intermediate wheel, the normal solution is to use three finely toothed wheels with a triangular tooth profile. This profile is designed to reduce "clearance" or the play between the teeth. To avoid any shake of the chronograph hand, its driving wheel is slightly slowed down by means of a friction spring. The new tooth profile of the above-mentioned three wheels serves to guarantee optimally smooth operation of the chronograph.

Visit of the Patek Philippe Museum

Located in a building that was constructed in the early 20th century, the Patek Philippe Museum exhibits important collections of horology and enamelling of Genevan, Swiss and European origins, from the 16th to the 20th century. The building also houses a library featuring more than 8000 works on horology and related subject-matter.
The museum's historic collections are essentially composed of watches, musical automata and portrait miniatures. It is also home to the prestigious creations that Patek Philippe, the Geneva-based firm of master watchmakers, has been designing, developing and producing since its foundation in 1839.
