Well, for the 14th month in a row, Swiss watch exports are down. No surprises there. Today the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH) released its latest report, detailing numbers for the month of August, and looking beyond the top-line decline things get a little more interesting. Here are a few thoughts on what’s happening over in Helvetia.
The 750Li xDrive is a rolling Valhalla of luxury and refinement for you to enjoy in private. Often, people buying the 750Li can afford a Rolls-Royce but simply choose not to – for the same reason they don’t drive a Jaguar XJ, a Porsche Panamera, or a Maserati Quattroporte: too loud and too extroverted. If you think a Tesla is advanced, you haven’t seen what the 7 series can do. Read this to find out.
Limited editions in the world of luxury watches are quite commonplace. When you start talking about watches that are a limited release, and limited to a particular country, things sometimes get interesting. This often takes the form of a watch that is available only through a boutique that resides in said country. That is precisely what we have going on here with a new iteration of the Roger Dubuis Exalibur Spider Americas Edition available exclusively through the Roger Dubuis New York boutique.
One week ago, we introduced to you (and far in advance) the first prototype of the TAG Heuer Autavia “Jochen Rindt” reedition, one of the first customer-designed watches made by the industry in a long time. Well, already a good news on its own, this watch was not the only point of interest here, as inside its case is ticking something we didn’t expect to see anymore from TAG Heuer, the Calibre Heuer-03 (ex. CH80, which was supposed to be a project killed before its birth). During the Heuer collectors summit, we had the chance to visit the Chevenez Manufacture (the one that was supposedly stopped…), to see the new movement, to understand the evolutions and finally to talk with the teams, including Jean-Claude Biver, just to bring the light on this complex but, in the end, happy situation.
For some years now, one of the most popular graduation gifts for students living in Stamford, England, has been a mechanical watch. I’m serious. But not the kind made by Rolex, or Omega, or any other Swiss manufacture for that matter. No, teenagers have been taking their parents to the town’s local watchmaker, Robert Loomes, instead. The Robin (for men) and the Robina (for women) have been high on their most-wanted list since the Englishman started putting watches in shop windows back in 2011.

When one of the rarest and most significant watches of the 21st century lands finds its way into an auction catalog, you can expect nothing short of a frenzied, no-limits battle to acquire it. And that’s exactly what happened yesterday, at Bonhams in London, when a George Daniels Co-Axial Anniversary wristwatch hit the block, fetching an astounding £224,500 (approximately $293,000 at time of sale).
Ballast timepieces is in the business of creating big, bold timepieces that are inspired by naval history, particularly historic icons like submarines captained by the Royal Navy. aBlogtoWatch previously reviewed the Ballast Valiant BL-3105 here, and now we’d like to discuss the new Ballast Trafalgar BL-3133 watch.
