Swiss brand Longines has got some news for you: the watchmaking brand is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its first Flagship collection. Congratulations Longines! And there is no better way to celebrate than introducing a brand new timepiece: The Flagship Heritage – 60th Anniversary 1957-2017.

On 17 January 2017, A. Lange & Söhne went live on Facebook at the SIHH in Geneva. Host Piers Gibbon, A. Lange & Söhne CEO Wilhelm Schmid and watchmaker Robert Hoffmann discussed the 2017 debuts and answered questions on the timepieces.

At SIHH 2017 we see Ulysse Nardin at the top of its game with some startling watches. The Marine Tourbillon Grand Feu uses an in-house movement with a silicium hairspring and a very delicate white grand feu enamel dial.

On January 17th Walter Lange died at the age of 92. Thanks to his courage, his vision, his critical spirit and his sincere interest in the people around him, he was not only a symbol of continuity, but also a father figure with whom people could identify.

This stunning model from manufacture F.P. Journe is the third and last edition of the Vagabondage Series. It is produced in a limited series of 69 pieces in platinum and 68 peices in 18 K red gold. F. P Journe is known for its specific calibre for a series limited to only 37 pieces.

The all new Lange 1815 Annual Calendar is a very clever watch that still doesn’t take account the leap year but at the push of the button at 2 o’clock it makes up for that. Push the button and the essential calendar settings will move one day ahead. Problem solved.

To honour the 1977 original AP now releases two yellow gold models to celebrate the 40th birthday of that watch. Two versions become available: one with a blue and a even more Seventies looking champagne dial. Still want steel?

What happens when you send Davide Cerrato - the spiritual father of the Tudor Heritage Black Baytudo - to Minerva's manufacture in Villeret and ask him to come up with a new collection of sportswatches. TimeWalker happens.

Launched on November 3, Lornet is the only watch brand whose components are designed, manufactured and assembled in France. The movement is entirely produced internally and assembled piece by piece in the watch-pool Franche-Comté.

GP's Laureato collection is part of the same universe in which the Nautilus, Royal Oak, Overseas and Ingenieur dwell. Piaget's Polo S is a new star in this realm and although the Laureato is an excisting model the revamped model is a fresh start.

Swiss Made has always been a strong symbol but unclear legislation led to Swiss Made products that were not that Swiss when closer inspected. The new Swissness law that is active in 2017 stipulates that 60% of a watch's total value must be Swiss.
