This week in watchmaking was a colorful mix of events, industry talk, and reasons for Geneva being an attractive prospect for horology enthusiasts over being a place of residence. Highlighting the week’s discourse was the recap of the Time at Wynn event in Las Vegas, which was marked by profound discussions on the need for customer-centric watch industry events to bring timepiece aficionados together. As the debate heated, attention switched to vintage military watches, growing public interest in F.P. Journe, and potential herd mentality among watch collectors.

Also causing a stir was Gerald Charles’s Masterlink Perpetual Calendar where Gerald Genta’s design DNA and a map of Geneva became grounds for a debate over the city’s best feature — its accessible departures. Creating waves in the color spectrum was Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual 36 with its delightful Jubilee dial.
