Lady Tortue, so very feminine

Is it still possible to manufacture a pure ladies’ watch? Is this still possible without falling into the eternal so-called female reductions of male models?

The “JC Biver” brand already stirs up envy

What is the connection between Lange and Cyma?

{News published in 2009} Walter Lange, founder of A. Lange & Söhne celebrated his 85th birthday. When asked what his very first watch was, he answered “A Cyma”.

Manufacto, the magic owl

I saw on social networks an ‘eye‘ on a dial. Almost disturbing, inquisitive, confusing… Didn’t he have a more soothing visual? Philippe Jacquin-Ravot, miniature artist and master enameller, a supporting member of the JSH Magazine family. A loyal follower with an active and prescriptive attitude. As a result, this former graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Lyon, a defender of handmade and unique creations, has gratified me with his galloping imagination…

Rolex buys Bucherer: the crowning achievement of independencies

Until Rolex announced its takeover of Bucherer, the brand with the crown had only one boutique in the world, in Geneva, in order to comply with cantonal law allowing it to use the city’s name in its branding.
