Could Rolex be Planning to Acquire Independent Watch Customizer Artisans de Genève?

Deciphering the buzz in the horology scene, queries arise regarding the potential acquisition of Artisans de Genève by Rolex. Artisans de Genève, an independent company, is known for its distinctive and highly crafted customizations of Rolex watches, which leads some to speculate a potential buyout. Interestingly, an article released by Coronet, rumoured to have links with Rolex, fuelled these speculations. However, before you start staking out your celebratory Dom Pérignon, the considerations are a little more complex than the customary business dealings.

Unveiling Laco and Circula ProLab: Celebrating 170 Years of German Watchmaking Excellence

Pforzheim, Germany, often referred to as the ‘Golden City’, is renowned for its deep-rooted legacy in jewellery and watchmaking. Two of its local brands, Laco and Circula, share an impressive 170 years of history in this craftsman city. As they each celebrate respective anniversaries, the two have decided to commemorate it uniquely, with the release of a collaborative pair of watches called ProLab.

ProLab originates from elements of both brands’ collections - ‘Pro’ from Circula’s PROTrail and Laco’s PRO line, and ‘Lab’ symbolising a collaborative space. While initially, the idea was to release a single piece, the brands chose to introduce two watches, adequately representing the identity of each brand and a mutual vision of timepiece excellence.
