A comeback can be a risky thing. Take ‘old’ football players for instance who at the end of their careers abroad return to their first club out of love. But love doesn’t win football matches. Girard-Perregaux last SIHH appearance was in 2012 and this year the brand made its comeback.
With the Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance the company takes up the challenge to create a highly accurate movement. If the principle of resonance is applied properly it creates a very stable motion, which results in high precision, energy savings, a large power reserve and the exclusion of negative effects on the time measuring. Shocks do affect the two balances used, but because of the resonance they quickly recover their rhytm.
Green is the new … You fill in the dots. Blue was the ‘it ‘colour at SIHH 2017 but green is also coming up strong this year with the green H. Moser & Cie., the green edition of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Oris AND the MeisterSinger No 02 ‘Rensing green’ to prove it.

But also because the new Da Vinci line offers one especially good-looking Perpetual Calendar Chronograph model. A complication made by the master watchmaker Kurt Klaus in midst of severe horological crisis.
Not words but watches. When it's purely about beauty, when complications are conspicuous by their absence, that's when we look at colours, materials and shapes. And that's when it’s advisable and wise to keep silent. ‘Watch and enjoy’, is the motto.
