World of Watches - Festive 2024

En este asunto

The final weeks of December are reminiscent of the calm before the storm. We finally find the time for upkeep, and whatever else that needs attention before January hits and we are caught up in the ebb and flow of work once again. With that, we have designed this magazine issue to be more reflective of the world of watchmaking. Yes, the theme is The Journey and taken in the most literal sense we have put a fantastic travel watch on the cover. But more than that, the theme can also be interpreted in a more metaphorical sense where we look at the journey watchmaking, as an industry, has taken over the years.
