Cartier yellow gold watch. cartier
A parade of stars from the “Watches and Wonders” show in Geneva, which takes the form of a red carpet. jewelry that tells the story of time at Cartier, a leap into the future at Roger Dubuis and Hautlence, sporty luxury at Tudor…
precious moments
The 2023 edition of the Clocks and Wonders show was celebrated by many international figures: actress Julia Roberts, tennis player Roger Federer, soccer player Ronaldinho, surfer Nick von Rupp and mountaineer Nirmal Purja, freestyle skier Eileen Feng Gu or Taiwanese actor-singer Edward Chen Hao. – All of them created unforgettable moments in Geneva.
Jewelry that tells time
Just like the rich vintage of Cartier, which satisfies all desires and all styles. The Cartier Privé collection is enriched with the Tank Normale, whose design is inspired by the 1917 original, Santos-Dumont is equipped with the new automatic skeleton caliber 9629 MC, developed to enhance its sober and refined lines, and Santos presents a new color smoky green. Another star of the year. The bathroom returns to its original shape. Sometimes a mini bracelet that matches perfectly with other bracelets in the house with just a Clou or Love in mind, sometimes a jeweler in black and white mode proves to be universal. Among our favorites is the Clash watch [Un]limited, which completes the jewelry collection of the same name, and whose articulated bracelet, between square studs and movable balls, is decorated with a new alloy, purple gold.
At the intersection of jewelry and watches. creating a piece like this is a balancing act that Jaeger-LeCoultre sets out to do this year by creating its first high-jewellery necklace. A manufacturer that celebrates the golden ratio presents the Reverso Secret Necklace. This Art Deco piece of jewelry offers a new way to wear the iconic case. The cordonette, the black cord used for 1930s Reverso models, has been revised to become a flexible chain composed of diamond and polished onyx beaded links, with a diamond case attached to the end. The pendant watch is definitely on trend, having also been spotted at Piaget, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel.
Sports luxury
At Tudor, the new Black Bay is a technical and aesthetic evolution of its iconic diver’s watch with a burgundy bezel launched in 2012. Now certified by Metas, the Master Chronometer features a 41mm case with an improved profile. We’ve found the perfect balance in Black Bay’s new steel versions, which are offered, among other things, in the perfect diameter for all wrists, 36mm. Between blue, light champagne or anthracite numbers, our heart swings.
Journey into the future
In the Carré des Horlogers, where independents shine, Hautlence presents the Vagabonde X Black Badger, born from a collaboration with designer James Thompson. He’s nicknamed the “master of light” in reference to Badgerite, a three-dimensional fluorescent composite, with which he works to impart an artistic hue to whatever he touches. This watch is no exception. it reinterprets the wandering hours, rotating hours and minutes, and the TV screen casing to give it a retro-futuristic look. Roger Dubuis invites us to discover his Hyperlife. A robot dog greets us at the stand, just as adorable (or terrifying, it’s up to you) as the real thing. This year, it reveals the future at the heart of a unique masterpiece. The Monovortex Split Seconds Chronograph showcases all of the watchmaker’s technical know-how and innovations that will mark the years to come, including the exclusive, lightweight and durable material, MCF (Mineral Composite Fiber), in vibrant red.
Pilot cocktail party
The most beautiful evening of Clocks and Wonders 2023. Probably the one hosted by Zenith, which showcases its iconic Pilot watch, which has been upgraded in black ceramic by a team of designers. In the program of celebrations? Cocktails, a set by DJ Klaus and above all a lot of fun and good humor. The surprise of the evening. A private concert by Sophie Ellis-Bextor who redefined the early 2000s playlist with the release of her hit Murder on the Dancefloor. “DJ, I’ll burn this damn house down…»
