The Girard-Perregaux marque presented their latest interpretations of the 1966 series at the SIHH exhibition, held recently in Geneva. The 1966 collection first appeared in 2006 and since it’s arrival has become an ever-more important element of the Girard-Perregaux portfolio, with it’s popularity growing in this ultra-competitive sector.

The folk at Hublot appear to have come over all lovey recently when the launch of the latest edition of the Big Bang series was announced! Specially manufactured for St Valentine’s Day 2010, (and don’t forget it’s February 14th!)  the new piece is somewhat of a departure from the ‘typical’ Big Bang in that it [...]

Jaeger-LeCoultre made some ‘noise’ at the SIHH 2010, held in Geneva last week, when the company recalled one their past icons with the unveiling of not one, but two new Memovox models.

I was really impressed with IWC’s offerings on display at SIHH this week in Geneva. I wrote about the Da Vinci Chrono Ceramic already and indeed have gone back to admire it some more.

The JeanRichard manufacture have removed the covers from another new model at the SIHH exhibition in Geneva this week.

The polished and satin-finished [...]

IWC today revealed their newest addition to the successful DaVinci series, using the occasion of the 2010 SIHH exhibiton in Geneva to debut the piece.
