It needed to be daring! This shape embodies the upper end of an instrument’s neck, where everything is harmonized and tuned. Yvan Arpa, a rock’n’roll figure of an inventive and no-limit watchmaking, touched by street culture, is here cultivating his penchant for music. He who used to collect, on the floor of their studio, the plectrums of the band Kiss to make dials, tries here to iconize this rupturist aesthetic.…

Günter Blümlein, tribute and memory

Soon in Geneva in January, the SIHH 2013. Which is largely thanks to one man. Flash back. In 1980, two companies had no idea what they would become. IWC and Jaeger LeCoultre. Their owners invited Günter Blümlein (Gaïa Prize 1996) to their bedside, first as a consultant and then, from 1982, as director. Under his leadership, IWC quickly regained its foothold with a series of wristwatches with innovative designs in…

Stéphane Cornioley, watch dials and virtuosities

Since the age of 5, he who became administrative manager of “Les Cadraniers de Genève SA” has been blowing on a flute. Then a clarinet, and finally a saxophone.
