Here are the other watches that stood out at last week’s SIHH 2019 watch fair in Geneva
There were originally 10 watches on this list but two of them, Vacheron Constantin’s Traditionnelle Twin Beat Perpetual Calendar and Piaget’s ultra-thin Altiplano with meteorite dial have been covered earlier. Below are eight more watches from SIHH 2019 that also struck the right chord, be it technically, aesthetically or both.
1. Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpétuel
Stunning good looks aside, the fifth Gyrotourbillon from Jaeger-LeCoultre boasts a smaller multi-axis spinner so that the watch can be smaller for a better fit on the wrist. Other technical feats include a constant-force mechanism that consistently feeds the tourbillon with energy and a minute repeater that mimics the chime of London’s Big Ben.
