New offices in Geneva with a new team, a new booth in Hall 1 of Baselworld featuring around a hundred new watch references to be discovered – and at least as many jewellery creations… The watch and jewellery wild child is making a dramatic return to stage-centre, yet without wiping out the past. Its iconic Quenttin boasting a 31-day power reserve that stunned the watch industry when it was launched now appears in an extremely appealing titanium version. This year the equally ostentatious EPIC II collection welcomes a generous black PVD-coated automatic chronograph featuring a bezel set with baguette-cut blue sapphires sparkling around the multilevel carbon fibre dial and creating a striking shimmering effect on the counters. Isn’t that what it’s all about ?
