The Salon Internacional Alta Relojería, or SIAR, has developed tremendously over the years. For its eleventh edition, it welcomed for the first time all the watches that compete in the Grand Prix d ́Horlogerie de Genève, but that was of course not all that was there to see. These are the best watches we came across at this years SIAR:

When Ferdinand Berthoud was launched as a brand it took the watch world by storm, and its very first model, the FB 1.1, even won “Aiguille d’or” Grand Prix award at the 2016 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. The FB 1.3 takes this now even to new heights.

Haute Time had the pleasure of talking with Guy Bove, Creative Director of La Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud. He gave us an insight into how it is to bring an old brand back to life, and how the design came together.

In the fast paced environment of Baselworld, schedules are tight and transit times sometimes non-existence. You go from appointment to appointment, handling the greatest and latest watches. One of the biggest challenges during Baselworld is getting great photo's. Lighting is a constant problem, and time is always a restraint.
