There are few places in the world where time seems to slow with grace. Zermatt is one of them. Tucked beneath the mighty silhouette of the Matterhorn, this Alpine gem is where tradition, tranquillity, and refinement intertwine. At its heart lies the legendary Mont Cervin Palace, a hotel that has welcomed travelers since 1857 and continues to embody the very essence of hospitality.

The Spirit of Zermatt, Refined

Part of the prestigious Michel Reybier Hospitality collection, the Mont Cervin Palace is far more than a luxury hotel, it is a cornerstone of Zermatt’s cultural and social life. From the car-free serenity of the village to the postcard-perfect vistas of snow-capped peaks, this is a destination where nature and noble living coexist effortlessly.

Located just steps from the romantic cobblestone lanes of Zermatt’s old town, the Mont Cervin Palace feels both grand and grounded. The iconic red horse-drawn carriage that picks you up at the station? That’s not a novelty. It’s tradition. And that’s what this place does best: heritage, with style.

Where Comfort Meets Character: The Pollux Suite

For the modern gentleman seeking privacy and panoramic beauty, the Pollux Suite offers both in abundance. With its south-facing balcony, the Matterhorn fills your window like a painting in motion. Inside, Alpine elegance reigns: a master bedroom with Jacuzzi and rain shower, a lounge with an open fireplace, and a dining area perfect for room service or a quiet whisky after sunset.

The space is expansive but never overwhelming. Just perfectly balanced between refined luxury and mountain warmth.

Culinary Discoveries

At Mont Cervin Palace, fine dining is not just part of the experience, it’s the cornerstone of it.

1818 Eat & Drink brings the bold flavors of South America to the Alps. Think Argentine beef grilled over the Josper flame, Peruvian spices, and Andean charm. All set against a sophisticated backdrop worthy of its 13 Gault Millau points. A culinary passport for the well-traveled palate.

For an elegant change of pace, Myoko offers a front-row seat to the art of Japanese cuisine. Whether it’s sashimi crafted before your eyes or Wagyu seared on the teppanyaki grill, every bite is an homage to precision and purity.

And for those late-night conversations and smoky reflections, Salon Davidoff awaits. Leather armchairs, Cuban cigars, a crackling fire. I’s a setting where time slows and taste deepens.

Unwind, Recenter, Recharge

At Spa Nescens, wellness takes on an Alpine dimension. Swim from indoors to outdoors in the mountain air, the Matterhorn casting its shadow across the still water. Then, choose from tailored Nescens treatments, saunas, or simply rest in the relaxation room, where the mountain light does more than illuminate, it heals.

This is not a spa for show. It’s a sanctuary for those who understand that looking after the body and mind is a quiet art.

Experiences to Remember

From scenic helicopter flights around the Matterhorn to glacier hikes, or simply strolling through alpine meadows, Zermatt invites you to live slowly but deeply. The team at Mont Cervin Palace is expert at crafting bespoke moments, whether it’s a sunrise summit tour or a sunset apéro on a mountain ridge.

To stay at Mont Cervin Palace is to partake in over 160 years of Alpine hospitality. It is a place where elegance is not performed but lived. Where the Matterhorn stands as a daily reminder that some things, like good taste and grand hotels, never go out of style.

High above St. Moritz, where the air is crisp and the views stretch beyond imagination, Paradiso offers more than just altitude. It offers attitude. This alpine retreat is your invitation to relax, refuel, and revel in summer’s finest moments.

Your alpine Getaway

Getting to the Paradiso is means kicking off an alpine adventure. Whether you prefer an active ascent or a scenic ride, there are several ways to reach this alpine oasis. Hikers and mountain bikers can follow well-marked trails that wind through lush meadows and pine forests, offering breathtaking views along the way. For a more relaxed journey, take the chairlift and glide effortlessly up the mountainside. And for those looking to arrive in style, the exclusive Land Rover Defender shuttle provides a comfortable and rugged ride to the summit. However you choose to get there, the destination is well worth the climb.

A Taste of the Mediterranean, reimagined

The Mountain Club & Restaurant by Badrutt's Palace is a place where leisurely lunches stretch into the early evening, and rustic-chic dining meets high-altitude glamour. The menu is a love letter to Mediterranean simplicity, with South of France inspiration shining through in every bite. Expect bright, flavorful dishes made from the finest ingredients: fresh, healthy, and always beautifully presented.

Whether you’re craving a post-hike Truffle Croque Fondue, the indulgent Paradiso Rib-Eye from the Big Green Egg, or something sweet like the Grande Chouquette Profiterole for two or their signature Zabaione Reposado made with Dom Pérignon and Clase Azul tequila, every dish feels both comforting and elevated.

Rosé-Colored Views and World-Class Bottles

Pairing beautifully with the setting is the Mountain Club’s expertly curated wine and champagne selection. It's one of the most extensive in the Alps. Over 500 labels are available, from crisp whites and bold reds to the most exclusive champagnes served by the glass or bottle. The drinks menu is reason alone to linger. Perhaps with a chilled rosé or a pastis in hand, as you’re playing pétanque with your friends.

Embrace the Slow Life

Here, the pace is yours to set. Paradiso is a place to reconnect with nature, indulge your senses, and embrace a down-to-earth lifestyle in one of Switzerland’s most elevated locales. Guests of all ages are welcome to unplug and unwind. No pretense, just pleasure.

Whether you’re arriving after a hike or simply here for the view, Paradiso high above St. Moritz is a summer paradise in every sense. Because summer is best enjoyed on top of the world.

There are few places where time seems to slow with such style as a beautifully set clay court on the shores of the Mediterranean. Framed by parasol pines and kissed by the coastal breeze, this sun-drenched slice of Riviera life evokes an era when elegance met leisure in the most effortless of ways. An era of timeless Riviera elegance. Best enjoyed in vintage linen, with a wooden racket in hand and a watch by Bucherer CPO on the wrist.

Serving Style and Heritage

This spring, the terracotta clay court, carved discreetly into the garden terraces, became the stage for a throwback tennis session. Inspired by the glamour of 1970s sportswear, we stepped onto the court dressed in crisp whites and oversized collars. Channeling a time when tennis was as much about flair as finesse.

But no retro ensemble is complete without a touch of gold. On this occasion, it came in the form of a Rolex Day-Date Reference 18038, fitted with a rare onyx dial and available through Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned.

Rolex Day-Date 18038

The Rolex Day-Date 18038, introduced in the late ‘70s, is emblematic of an era that knew how to balance luxury with understatement. With its 18-carat yellow gold case and President bracelet, it’s a watch that doesn’t shout, it whispers. The deep black onyx dial, minimalist and polished to mirror-like perfection, offers a compelling contrast to the warm Riviera sun and ochre tones of the clay court.

Though not your typical piece of athletic gear, the Day-Date held its own. There’s something undeniably indulgent about serving aces with a full-gold Rolex on your wrist. A playful contradiction, perfectly suited to this coastal hideaway. After all, tradition and nonchalance make perfect doubles partners.

Post-match, with the clay brushed from our shoes and a chilled citron pressé in hand, the Day-Date returned to its natural state: gleaming in the golden hour light, telling not just the time, but a story. One of craftsmanship, heritage, and the art of living well.

After all, some things, like a good backhand, or a Rolex in yellow gold, never go out of style.

High above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, where steep rock faces meet the clouds and the majestic Jungfrau commands the skyline, a new chapter of Alpine hospitality begins. The Grand Hotel Belvedere, freshly restored to its former glory, opens its doors to a first summer season full of promise. With 90 meticulously designed rooms and suites, panoramic views, and a spa that invites serenity, this 5-star sanctuary in Wengen is a celebration of refined living in the heart of the Bernese Oberland.

An Arrival worth the Journey

Reaching the Grand Hotel Belvedere by Beaumier is more than travel, it’s an immersion into another world. Aboard the iconic Wengernalp train, time slows as the landscapes become more dramatic and poetic. Towering peaks, lush meadows, and cascading waterfalls roll past the windows, setting the tone for an escape that is both grounding and uplifting.

A Room with a View

At the Grand Hotel Belvedere, pristine nature is surrounding the guests. Large windows and balconies frame the Alps like ever-changing masterpieces, while the interiors echo their raw, serene beauty. Spruce parquet flooring, walls finished in natural lime, wool textiles, and locally sourced green granite create a tactile, soothing space. It’s a modern take on mountain heritage: warm, sophisticated, and unmistakably Swiss.

The Flavors of the Alps

The hotel’s culinary offering captures the essence of Alpine terroir with elegance and flair.

Brasserie Belvedere pays tribute to timeless classics with a regional twist. Think crispy pomme paillasson topped with a fried egg and Swiss caviar, or local blue cheese paired with caramelized walnuts and endive. It’s hearty, honest food made unforgettable by its ingredients, setting, and service.

Restaurant Waldrand, the more intimate dining space, leans into Alpine tradition while embracing a refined, shareable style. Focaccia with herb pesto, vegan schnitzel with organic egg, and typical Älplermagronen that elevate the humble mac and cheese into something indulgent and memorable. All this unfolds in a minimalist, nature-inspired setting with curated Swiss, Italian, French, and German wines.

Two Bars, Two Worlds

The Belvi Salon invites quiet conversation and post-hike unwinding with its floral infusions, bespoke cocktails, and a carefully selected list of Swiss wines and spirits. In contrast, the Bergwald Bar brings a vibrant, casual energy. It's the place to start your day with a strong coffee or end it with a generous slice of citrus polenta cake and a local digestif.

A Spa for the Soul

Whether you're easing sore legs after a hike or simply seeking stillness, the Japanese-inspired spa at the Belvedere delivers. With four treatment rooms (including a double for couples), sauna, hammam, ice bath, and a relaxation lounge facing the Jungfrau, it’s designed to restore and reconnect. A heated indoor/outdoor pool completes the experience, blurring the line between sheltered comfort and the wild outdoors.

Drawing on a deep-rooted knowledge about the healing power of alpine botanicals, Susanne Kaufmann created a skincare line crafted from pure, organic ingredients. All sourced directly from nature. Rich in active compounds, her products are not only natural but remarkably effective. The treatments offer visible results and align perfectly with the Grand Hotel Belvedere’s holistic approach to wellness.

Grand Hotel Belvedere, Wengen’s new Icon

For us at Artworth, the Grand Hotel Belvedere is more than a luxury hotel. It’s a testament to the enduring allure of the Alps. It brings together tradition and modernity, adventure and serenity, nature and design. As Wengen hums quietly to the rhythm of the mountains, this new address sets the tone for a new era of Alpine hospitality: elevated, elegant, and timeless.

Let this be your place of pause. Or the starting point for your next great adventure.

There are few pleasures more refined than a spring road trip through the South of France. Winding coastal roads, sun-drenched vineyards, and glamorous ports. Each stop along the Côte d’Azur and into the Provençal countryside offers its own rhythm, its own moment. And what better way to mark time than with a selection of distinguished watches from Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned (CPO)? Four destinations, four timepieces, and one unforgettable journey.

Stop 1: Rustic Elegance at Ultimate Provence

We begin our journey deep in the heart of Provence, where the earthy scent of lavender mingles with the faint hum of cicadas. Tucked between the vines and olive groves near La Garde-Freinet lies Ultimate Provence, a modern winery and boutique retreat. Brutalist architecture meets organic materials in a landscape that feels untouched. And yet, thoroughly curated.

On the wrist: a Rolex Day-Date 18038, in yellow gold. With its vintage charm, onyx dial and presidential gravitas, this reference is a nod to timeless sophistication. In a setting where time moves slower and aperitifs stretch long into golden hour, the Day-Date feels right at home. Both grounded and elevated, like Provence itself.

Stop 2: Monaco’s Urban Edge

Next, we trade the serenity of Provence for the adrenaline of the Monaco streets. Navigating the iconic hairpin turns of the Grand Prix circuit, the city-state offers a heady mix of old-world glamour and modern-day performance. It's here, surrounded by supercars, tailormade jackets, and the shimmer of the Mediterranean, that the Rolex Yacht-Master 116622 finds its stride.

Both bezel and case play beautifully against the polished backdrop of Monte Carlo. As we park downtown and slip inside a café for an espresso, the Yacht-Master reflects not just the thrill of the race, but the relaxed confidence of those who’ve already won.

Stop 3: Afternoon Light at Port de Fontvieille

From the streets to the sea. A short walk down to the harbour reveals the glittering yachts that define Monaco’s nautical culture. Moored side-by-side like floating palaces, these vessels are a testament to craftsmanship, ambition, and bold design. Making this the ideal setting for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 14790SA, a two-tone beauty that captures both sport and refinement.

With its iconic octagonal bezel, this midsize Royal Oak bridges vintage and contemporary aesthetics. Gold and steel shimmer under the Côte d’Azur sun as the Royal Oak nods respectfully to its maritime surroundings. It’s a watch that says: you don’t need to be loud to make a statement, just precise.

Stop 4: Riviera Reverie at the Four Seasons Cap-Ferrat

Perched between pine forests and the sparkling Mediterranean, the Four Seasons Cap-Ferrat is where timeless Riviera elegance meets global perspective. It’s a place of pause. Here, the pace slows, the service is silent, and every vista demands your attention.

It’s here that the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer feels most at home. With its 43mm polished case and deep blue dial evoking the coastline below, the watch is more than a timekeeper. It’s a miniature globe on the wrist. The titanium-rendered continents emerge from laser-sculpted oceans, encircled by city names in red, silver, and blue. A constant reminder of the world beyond this idyllic cape.

Inside ticks the Master Chronometer Calibre 8938, engineered to the highest standards of precision. But it’s the visual impact, the interplay of sun-brushed textures, relief map, and 24-hour ring, that captivates in the Cap-Ferrat light. As the sun dips behind the pines and shadows stretch across the private terrace, this is the perfect finale: a worldly companion for a truly global gentleman.

A Bucherer CPO Watch for every Occasion

As the road unwinds behind us and the sun dips low along the Mediterranean, one truth emerges: luxury isn’t about excess. It’s about choosing pieces that resonate with place, purpose, and personality. Each of these Bucherer CPO watches told a story, not just of timekeeping, but of lifestyle. From the Provençal countryside to the elegance of Cap-Ferrat, this was more than a road trip. It was a masterclass in how to wear time well.

There are holidays you take, and then there are experiences that leave an imprint on your soul. Our Easter escape aboard the Scenic Eclipse, the world’s first discovery yacht, was unmistakably the latter. An ultra-luxury cruise that felt more like a curated journey through time, culture, and sea. This voyage redefined what it means to travel in style.

Scenic Eclipse: A Yacht, not a Ship

From the moment we stepped aboard in Madeira, Scenic Eclipse made one thing clear: this isn’t your typical cruise. Inspired by the sleek silhouette of a sailing yacht and outfitted with cutting-edge technology, the Eclipse isn’t just built to impress. It’s built to immerse. With just 200 guests on board, the sense of space and serenity is unparalleled. And with a nearly 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio, every detail, from your preferred morning coffee to a spontaneous afternoon Zodiac outing, is remembered and delivered with effortless grace.

We were fortunate enough to stay in one of the two Owner’s Penthouse Suites. A floating sanctuary perched at the bow of the yacht. It comes with sweeping ocean views, a private spa pool on the terrace, a dining room for eight, and a bathroom that would rival any five-star hotel. Personalized butler service ensured we never had to lift a finger. To call it indulgent would be an understatement. It was transformative.

The Itinerary: Discovery in Every Port

Day 1 – Madeira

Our journey began with a helicopter flight over Madeira. It revealed a tapestry of terraced hillsides, deep ravines, and dramatic coastal cliffs. Taking off from the yacht's own helipad was a stunning introduction to the adventure ahead, and an immediate indication of how Scenic elevates every moment.

Day 2 – Porto Santo

Less developed and infinitely charming, Porto Santo gave us time to breathe and explore at a gentler pace. We joined a guided hike through volcanic landscapes and ended the day soaking up the sun along the island’s golden coastline.

Day 3 – Tangier

Crossing the Atlantic and arriving in Tangier felt like stepping into a different world. Our city tour led us through the whitewashed Medina, where scents of spices filled the air and time seemed to slow down. A highlight? Mint tea on a rooftop terrace, with sweeping views.

Day 4 – Málaga

Our final stop in Málaga was a wonderful way to wrap up the cruise. More than just a sunny Spanish port, it’s a city rich with art, history, and soul. After exploring the historic center, we retreated back to the yacht club for cocktails.

Beyond Luxury

Of course, no mention of Scenic Eclipse is complete without noting the unmatched facilities: a 550sqm spa sanctuary, multiple dining venues from sushi to French fine dining, a salt therapy lounge, and even a state-of-the-art submersible for underwater exploration.

Whether soaring over ancient islands, wandering the labyrinthine alleys of a Moroccan port city, or sipping a Negroni as the sun melted into the sea, every moment aboard felt tailored to the curious, style-conscious traveler. This wasn’t just a holiday, it was a statement: that luxury today is about depth, authenticity, and discovery.

Venice is a city that doesn’t just exist, it lingers. In its golden light and labyrinthine streets, time feels slower, more deliberate. It’s here, amidst the gondolas and Renaissance facades, that the elegance of a finely crafted watch feels most at home. On a recent visit, we explored the city with four remarkable Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) timepieces, that perfectly captured the spirit of old-world charm and contemporary refinement.

Cartier Santos

The Cartier Santos is a legacy on the wrist. This reference captures the essence of the original aviation timepiece designed by Louis Cartier for Alberto Santos-Dumont in the early 1900s. With its distinctive square case, exposed screws, and slim profile, the Santos feels as at home under a cuff in a Venetian palazzo as it does in the cockpit of a vintage biplane. Worn in the warm Venetian light, it gives off a subtle, effortless elegance—timeless in the most literal sense.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso

There are watches that make a statement, and then there’s the Reverso—a quiet nod to Art Deco design and engineering brilliance. Originally conceived in the 1930s for polo players, the reversible case is as unique today as it was nearly a century ago. The 270.8.62 reference pairs its iconic rectangular form with a silver dial that catches the light with every move. In Venice, surrounded by classical architecture and mirrored canals, the Reverso’s duality feels just right: sporty and elegant, masculine and refined.

Rolex Day-Date

Few timepieces carry the weight and prestige of the Rolex Day-Date. Nicknamed the “President” for good reason, the 18038 reference in yellow gold embodies confidence and presence. With its fluted bezel, uniquely structured dial, and iconic day and date display, this watch doesn’t whisper. It speaks clearly, with authority. Worn in Venice, it adds a touch of opulence without ever trying too hard. It’s the watch you wear when you’ve made it - and don’t need to prove it.

Vacheron Constantin Historiques

For the connoisseur who values heritage with a hint of avant-garde, the Vacheron Constantin Historiques is an ideal companion. Reference 50000H/000A-B582 revives a mid-century aesthetic through a modern lens. The iconic "Cornes de Vache" lugs make it an instant conversation starter. It’s the kind of piece that feels at home in the winding streets of Venice, where tradition and creativity coexist effortlessly. Quietly daring, undeniably distinguished.

Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned

All four watches are part of Bucherer’s CPO collection, meaning they’ve been carefully inspected, authenticated, and restored where necessary by expert watchmakers. This isn’t just about buying a watch—it’s about acquiring a piece of horological history with peace of mind and enduring style.

In a world that moves quickly, these watches remind us of the power of craftsmanship, elegance, and heritage. Whether you're walking the cobblestone paths of Venice or heading into a boardroom, they speak the same language: that of the modern gentleman.

Few watches have achieved the legendary status of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Born in 1931 as a practical solution for polo players who needed to protect their timepieces, the Reverso has since become a paragon of Art Deco design, mechanical ingenuity, and horological prestige. This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues its legacy of innovation with a series of exceptional new Reverso models. Let's have a closer look at three of the Watches & Wonders 2025 releases.

Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds

Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces a refined interpretation of the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds. Its classic design is elevated with a Milanese link bracelet in 18K pink gold and a beautifully grained dial that perfectly matches the case’s warm hue. This modern rendition enhances the Reverso’s ability to balance timeless aesthetics with contemporary style.

The Milanese bracelet, a design element tracing its roots to 13th-century chain mail craftsmanship, offers a luxurious yet sporty look. Highly durable and exceptionally smooth on the wrist, this bracelet adds a subtle vintage charm to the Reverso’s sleek silhouette. The refined dial remains true to the Reverso’s original purity, with faceted indexes and dauphine hands lending depth and sophistication.

At its heart, the hand-wound Calibre 822 provides a 42-hour power reserve. Designed and assembled entirely in-house, this movement seamlessly integrates with the Reverso’s rectangular case, further solidifying Jaeger-LeCoultre’s reputation for technical mastery.

Reverso Tribute Geographic

For the global connoisseur, the Reverso Tribute Geographic offers a sophisticated take on world time complications. Available in steel or an 18K pink gold limited edition of 150 pieces, this new release celebrates the traveler’s spirit with a practical yet evocative dual-dial design.

On the front, a sunray-finished blue (for steel) or chocolate (for pink gold) dial showcases the Tribute line’s elegant simplicity. A large date display at 12 o’clock is framed by polished metal, while a circular small seconds counter complements the watch’s geometric harmony.

The reverse dial reveals an intricate world-time display with a rotating 24-hour ring set into a polished caseback. The steel model features blue-toned details, while the pink gold edition embraces warm black and grey accents. Jaeger-LeCoultre masterfully blends laser engraving and lacquer application to create a striking world map, a reminder that timekeeping is as much about cultural connection as it is about precision.

Powering this masterpiece is the newly developed in-house Calibre 834, featuring a patented world-time mechanism. Unlike traditional world timers, where the city ring rotates, Jaeger-LeCoultre has reversed the function for enhanced legibility—offering a unique, intuitive approach to global timekeeping.

Reverso Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’

Marking 90 years of Reverso excellence, the Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ makes a bold return in a limited edition of 90 pieces. This timepiece blends high horology with artisanal craftsmanship, featuring a stunning reverse dial adorned with a celestial motif.

On the front, an elegant grey sunray-brushed dial maintains the Reverso Tribute’s signature aesthetic, with a Grande Date display at 12 o’clock and a moon phase complication at 6 o’clock. However, turning the case over unveils an artistic marvel: a rich blue enamel dial featuring two apertures—one for a digital hour display and another for a rotating minute disc, framed by a polished pink gold sun and moon against a starry sky. The night sky effect is achieved through layers of deep blue enamel, while engraved latitude and longitude lines subtly reference Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dedication to fine detail.

The hand-wound Calibre 826 powers this exquisite creation. With a semi-jumping digital hour mechanism and a uniquely configured Grande Date display, it showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to mechanical innovation while remaining true to the elegance that defines the Reverso line.

A Legacy that continues to inspire

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s latest Reverso releases are more than just timepieces, they are expressions of craftsmanship, culture, and the timeless pursuit of perfection. Whether through the vintage elegance of the Tribute Monoface Small Seconds, the wanderlust-driven Tribute Geographic, or the celestial artistry of the Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel,’ the Reverso continues to evolve while staying true to its iconic heritage.

For the modern gentleman who values precision, artistry, and legacy, these new Reverso models offer the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. After all, a Reverso is not just a watch—it’s a statement of sophistication that stands the test of time.

For over three decades, Watches and Wonders Geneva has been the stage for the most revered names in haute horlogerie. In 2025, a new era begins. For the first time since its inception, a Maison d’Art has been welcomed into the official selection: Atelier WOCS.

A Maison for the Modern Collector

A Geneva-based independent house, Studio WOCS introduces an avant-garde perspective on time, one that extends beyond mechanical mastery into the realm of artistic storytelling. For the modern collector who values not only craftsmanship but also culture, this marks a paradigm shift: an artistic house no longer exists at the periphery of horology but now stands at its core.

We believe that Studio WOCS redefines what it means to collect. It is not just about ownership, it is about legacy, emotion, and cultural resonance. Each composition within its collection carries the weight of time, not just in terms of measurement but in the memories it preserves. Crafted with the same reverence as haute horlogerie, these ultra-limited edition pieces are created for those who understand that heritage is not something to follow, but something to build.

The Collection: A Visual Journey Through Time

For its debut at Watches and Wonders, Studio WOCS presents six original works, each exploring time through the lens of travel, history, and human connection. Among the highlights:

Heure du Monde | A poetic representation of time zones, transforming cities into cultural emblems that transcend simple geography.

Timeless Express | A surreal journey through memory and motion, where the golden age of travel bends the flow of time itself.

Ascension du Temps | A vertical exploration of horological eternity, structured like a visual temple dedicated to time.

With editions limited to three, six, or twelve per piece, never to be reissued, these works embody exclusivity in its purest form. Studio WOCS does not compromise. It does not conform. It curates time itself.

A Shift in Watchmaking Culture

For a long time, Watches and Wonders has been an exclusive stage for the most renowned names in watchmaking. The inclusion of Studio WOCS is not a mere exception—it is a signal. We believe that watch collectors have evolved and are beginning to recognize that heritage is no longer confined to calibres and complications. The narrative surrounding a piece matters just as much as its technical mastery.

Studio WOCS has already been recognized by the Swiss National Library and the Museum of Design Zurich for its cultural significance. Now, by joining Watches and Wonders, it cements its place in the future of watch culture, not as a guest, but as a Maison with its own language, its own codes, and its own vision.

For those who seek to own a piece of this artistic evolution, we invite you to explore and acquire an exclusive creation by Studio WOCS. Visit their website to discover a world where time is more than measured, it is reimagined.

At Watches & Wonders, IWC Schaffhausen unveiled three exceptional additions to its Ingenieur collection, each exemplifying the pinnacle of horological artistry. Whether crafted from solid gold, innovative ceramic, or housing an intricate perpetual calendar, these new releases are designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Ingenieur Automatic 40 in 18-Carat 5N Gold

The first of IWC’s showstopping novelties is the Ingenieur Automatic 40 in 18-carat 5N gold. A true masterpiece of engineering and design, this watch embodies the bold aesthetic codes of the Ingenieur SL. A watch originally designed by the legendary Gérald Genta in the 1970s. However, its modern interpretation comes with contemporary refinements that enhance both wearability and aesthetics.

The 40mm case and bracelet, entirely crafted from 18-carat 5N gold, offer an unrivaled presence on the wrist. The polished and satin-finished surfaces play with light, exuding refinement from every angle. The deep black “Grid” dial adds texture and depth, while gold-plated hands and solid gold appliqués, filled with Super-LumiNova®, ensure impeccable legibility.

Turning the watch over reveals the IWC-manufactured 32111 calibre, a movement boasting an impressive 120-hour power reserve. Through the sapphire case back, one can admire the meticulous finishing. This includes circular Geneva stripes, blued screws, and a gold-plated oscillating weight. A fitting tribute to haute horlogerie. For the gentleman who values classic elegance fused with modern performance, this Ingenieur is an undeniable grail.

Ingenieur Automatic 42 in Black Ceramic

For those drawn to cutting-edge materials and bold design, IWC introduces the Ingenieur Automatic 42 in black ceramic. This marks the first time the brand has executed the Genta-inspired integrated bracelet design in full ceramic. An innovation that speaks to both aesthetics and function.

The multi-part ceramic case construction is a true feat of engineering. Black zirconium oxide ceramic forms the case ring, bezel, and case back ring. Even the crown and crown guards are crafted from this incredibly hard, scratch-resistant material. The watch is lighter than steel and highly resistant to temperature changes, ensuring supreme comfort and durability.

The signature black “Grid” dial, featuring fine lines and squares, offers a striking contrast against the dark ceramic. Super-LumiNova®-filled hands and hour markers ensure legibility even in low light. Beneath the surface beats the IWC-manufactured 82110 calibre, featuring the brand’s renowned Pellaton winding system and a 60-hour power reserve. The movement is partially visible through a tinted sapphire case back, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this modern masterpiece.

Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41

Bridging heritage and innovation, IWC also unveiled the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41. It's the first stainless steel Ingenieur model to feature the legendary perpetual calendar complication developed by Kurt Klaus.

Encased in 41mm of finely finished stainless steel, this timepiece maintains the iconic Genta design while seamlessly integrating a sophisticated perpetual calendar mechanism. The stunning blue dial, adorned with the signature “Grid” pattern, houses three subdials displaying the date, day, month, and perpetual moon phase.

Powering this remarkable timepiece is the IWC-manufactured 82600 calibre. It features a Pellaton winding system with ceramic components for enhanced durability. Visible through a sapphire case back, this movement ensures a seamless transition between months, including leap years, requiring no manual correction until the year 2100.

A Celebration of Engineering and Elegance

With these three exceptional releases, IWC Schaffhausen continues to redefine luxury sports watches. Whether drawn to the opulence of solid gold, the innovation of full ceramic, or the timeless complexity of a perpetual calendar, the modern gentleman now has three impeccable choices to elevate his wrist game. Visit the IWC Schaffhausen website to discover all their novelties.
