In this series we showcase mechanical and artistic wonders that were especially designed for women and others originally for men that come alive on spirited ladies’ wrists. 2019 brought new options for women demanding artistic and technical excellence in a timepiece. I selected a few from those presented at the SIHH.
The collaboration of designer Georg Forster and L’Epée 1839 has resulted in a clock that made every visitor turn in their tracks. We table-raced with the L’Epée Time Fast D8 like a child at Baselworld.
Time Æon is an initiative aiming to save the soon extinct traditional watchmaking know-how that once shaped timepieces. At the SIHH 2019 we spoke with David Bernard, director of the Time Æon Foundation about their past and future projects.
With its liquid capillary technology HYT has built up the entire brand around the ‘Fluidity of Time’ concept. The philosophy and the constraints of the technology are together shaping the design which is one of the most original out there. François Nunez, VP Creative Director presented the 2019 novelties to us at the SIHH.
