TERRIFIC TRIO
The PEAK Singapore
|May 2025
Three brands new to Watches and Wonders 2025 give us more reason to swoon over independent high horology.
-
The recently concluded edition of the world’s most important luxury watch fair saw a record turnout this year. Over 55,000 visitors took to the immense halls of Palexpo Geneva to marvel at the new releases from over 60 brands — the largest event ever.
Out of this dizzying number, seven manufactures are either new to the show or rejoining it. All except for Bvlgari are independent houses, showcasing the wide-ranging perspectives and niche expertise of artisanal watchmaking.
Here, we highlight three such brands that are available in Singapore and why they deserve to be on your radar.
01 CHRISTIAN VAN DER KLAAUW
Based in the Netherlands, Christian van der Klaauw (CVDK) is a master of astronomical complications, entirely devoted to crafting timepieces that mirror the heavens.
Founded in 1974, it specialises in miniature planetariums, moonphase displays, and orbital tourbillons, all executed with micromechanical precision. Each CVDK creation is a wearable, limited-edition observatory that appeals to collectors who seek both technical brilliance and poetic artistry of the cosmic variety.
