In this issue
In this issue we look at playing the role of the enabler, showcasing some of the best to come out of the industry this year. In November, the GPHG tour made its way to Kuala Lumpur for the first time, and if you already forgot all the deliciously beautiful watches displayed, we highlight once again the nominated timepieces and also the winning watches. We have a great many pages of the magazine dedicated to the people who take the words hand-made quite literally, delving into the world of Metiers d’Art. Of course, not forgetting the watch on the cover, Cartier’s beautiful new Santos-Dumont and the man who inspired the collection. So, strap yourselves in for a good read, have a great festive season and a smashing new year!
