March 2009Live from BaselWorld, Day4: Maitres du TempsTue, 03/31/2009 - 11:05 — Jeremy OsterEvery once in a while something very special evolves. In this case it is the beautiful collaboration of 3 of the watch industry's legends: Roger Dubuis, Daniel Roth and Peter Speake-Marin. Each brings a unique expertise and together they bring experience, know-how and the respect of their peers. Chapter 1 launched successfully last year. Now we see Chapter 2: a simplified, less complicated version; one that will appeal to those who appreciate complicated timepieces yet demand clarity and aesthetic perfection. Live from BaselWorld, Day3: HublotSun, 03/29/2009 - 23:57 — Jeremy OsterJust 2 weeks ago Melissa and I were in Miami for Hublot's pre-Basel event. Since then the hard working watch company has made changes and refined much of the product first shown in Miami. Quite amazing. When I ran into Jean-Claude Biver he was very matter of fact about the improvements. This is a company on top of its game. Probably the most exciting line-up of new products in Basel. They do not rest and are not content to simply lead the market. They define a company ethos that does not look over its shoulder. Rather, it only looks forward. Fantastic. Live from BaselWorld, Day3: B.R.MSun, 03/29/2009 - 09:22 — Jeremy OsterBernard Richards Manufacturing has quietly been making some of the most exciting watches on the market. I say quietly, that is unless you are into motor racing or bike racing or exotic motorcycles like Ecosse in which case you would be very familiar. Located in France, BRM is the first true French Manufacturer for many years. His new Tourbillon is now available in a 48mm case which is remarkably comfortable to wear. He also introduced a couple of new models which really add to the appeal of the line and are quite affordable.

Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile Live from BaselWorld Day1: Bell & RossFri, 03/27/2009 - 15:31 — Jeremy OsterThis has been one of the hottest brands of the last few years. The BR Instrument collection has been a huge success and has really redefined this small French company. This year they have developed the collection even further with some amazing additions to the BR01 range. The BR03 collection remains unchanged as does the BR02 series. Live from BaselWorld Day1: BlancpainFri, 03/27/2009 - 12:31 — Jeremy OsterOne of the reasons for attending Basel is not just to see the brands we carry but also to check out all the other brands. Some we monitor for the future. Others we just look at and walk away from. We always go to Blancpain. This year they introduced a new collection in a beautiful and classic 43.5mm case all based on a new in-house 8-days power reserve movement. The car is pretty nice too. |
