Ornatus-MundiSince more than one decade, Greubel Forsey is investing in research aimed at developing a mechanical watch movement with 180 days of power reserve.

foverstaThe link between Parmigiani Fleurier and Bugatti is the longest partnership ever between a watchmaker and a car brand. For more than 13 years, exceptional watches with original shapes have been released to celebrate this partnership and have been designed to transcribe the mechanics of supercars into a world of watchmaking.

Thanks to the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie for having given me this opportunity! You're a moderator .....">Story

Baron - Mr RedThere are many types of people who collect high end watches. Recently, there has been a series of heated discussions about those who buy something predominantly because of the need to show the world that they own something valuable. It is argued that there is no real horological understanding from this type of collector beyond the need to show-off and be seen with what others deem prestigious. It is seen as very important to own something that others view as desirable...">Story
