WatchTime India - April - June 2025

Dans ce numéro

On the cover we have Montblanc's Iced Sea Automatic Date 0 Oxygen that introduces the proprietary 0 Oxygen concept in the Iced Sea Automatic Date collection, which has quickly grown to become the brand's most popular one. Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, and Piaget, three historic brands, celebrate landmark anniversaries this year. So, in ‘Icons are Forever’, we dive into why Vacheron Constantin’s 222 is truly timeless, and in 'A Legacy of Invention’ we recount 13 of Breguet’s and its founder’s pivotal accomplishments; in “Celebrating a Legacy”, we cover two new Piaget Polo 150th Anniversary Editions. We explore how the worlds of jewellery and watchmaking collide in the story 'Partners In Time', at the same time taking a deep look at one of the most celebrated watch designers of the last century, Jorg Hysek. We also turn the spotlight on Christopher Ward in the story ‘Sailing To Success’, as we deconstruct how the brand manages to provide high horology at affordable price points. In 'Front Man', we talk to Hublot’s newly minted CEO, Julien Tornare, on his plans for the brand, India, and the Hublotista community. Our ‘Focus’ stories highlight the recent Bvlgari X MB&F Serpenti collaboration, while our design highlight is on Perrelet in the story 'Dynamic Design'. For the collector feature, we interview Ninad Umargekar,   a Mumbai-based collector, marketer, and the co-founder of the men’s everyday carry (EDC) brand HELLO. All this and much more in the new issue.
