Timepieces just seem to get more and more exciting – such innovative technicality only keeps us on the ball, as well as on time. Marcus Watches on London’s New Bond Street has one of the most important collections of Haut Horology in the world and here are three of their most recent examples, including MB&F’s amusing robot bedside clock.
BWD is the world’s leading luxury watch customisation business and iconic watch brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe are given the bespoke Bamford treatment. De Grisogono is more often known for its exciting jewellery (see our Finery feature on page 31) but the company also has a growing section of men’s watches such as the one they have created with Samsung. Last but not least, Jaeger-LeCoultre has recently launched a new version of its iconic Reverso in celebration of the watch’s 85th anniversary.
