Geneva Week 2014: third day wristshots

 

Another busy day and  some nice encounters with other PuristSPro mods and members in the SIHH corridors.

Obviously, the team will come back with more detailed reports, the purpose of these wristshots is just to give you a quick idea of what's going on in Geneva!

Zenith decided to adopt a purer style with some nice evolutions of existing models.

This Open comes with a Vermot blue dial:

This Type 20 GMT 1903 is a really unusual watch! Look at the finishings of the figures!

I like a lot this very pure and elegant version of the annual calendar, boutique edition:

Even the Captain watches get a more refined dial:

The Chronomaster 410 is back with this large but elegant watch:

Hublot didn't forget the ladies with these colourful watches:

When black become the Unico atmosphere:

The Spirit of Big Bang features a Zenith El Primero movement with a tonneau-shape case:

I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit S2C, the factory of Yvan Arpa which produces parts for Artya Watches and Spero Lucem.

This year, Artya is presenting watches which go deeper in the bullet concept with bullets without case used as indexes:

Still bullets without case:

This is the Russian roulette watch with its rotating dial. It is powered by a skeletonized Unitas:

After may years at the SIHH, it was my first appointment with Panerai! Nicolas and I we could shoot a large part of the collection and Nicolas will come back with  a detailed report. In the meantime, enjoy these wristshots of this white dial luminor powered by the in-house P5000 caliber.

This Destro was a must-see and one of the key pieces of the collection:

But this year is the year of the chronograph. I would like to highlight this piece, a Radiomir 1940 with a platinum case powered by a Minerva movement:

Then, JLC, as usual, proposed us a very comprehensive new collection.

I could appreciate the PG Duometre UTT:

This enamel dial version of the Duometre Quantieme Lunaire is very seducing but the diablotine has a bad impact on my mind! I would be quite nervous to see this always moving energic hand!

This Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic is a very valuable way to propose a watch with character which remains wearable:

Can we call this a cultural revolution? The Reverso gets an Automatic movement! The Grande Reverso Night & Day also features a flawless dial:

As you can see it, it was another busy day!

Stay tuned!
