When Rolex launched the Sky-Dweller in 2012, a gaggle of press assembled outside of the Rolex booth at Baselworld. Beautifully merchandised in the window were various Submariners and a taller, clearly more important, stand covered by a silk cap. Exactly at the pre-ordained time, on the first day of the show, the silk was ceremoniously…

F.P.Journe never fails to surprise me – which in itself is a surprise in a way. I so closely associate F.P.Journe with François-Paul’s modernized take on classical French-meets-Swiss watchmaking.

The oohs and aahs were not subtle at Watches & Wonders 2025 when it was clear what new model would join the Cartier Privé collection.
