Artya: “We test things; they may work, or they may fail, but we always push boundaries”

1 week ago | europastar.com | Serge Maillard

Your browser does not support the audio element. Combat sports memorabilia, a gleaming motorbike, skulls and wolves, all evoking ArtyA’s most rebellious side, are still very much present when one ventures into the brand’s basement workshop in Meinier, set in the tranquil Geneva countryside. At first glance, nothing appears to have changed since our last visit a few years ago. It is only on opening the cases of the latest creations that the journey they have made becomes apparent.

2 weeks ago | europastar.com | Serge Maillard

Your browser does not support the audio element. As revolution raged in France, where he had served both the king and the queen, in 1793 Abraham-Louis Breguet found safe haven in Le Locle, in his native Neuchâtel, and may well have wondered what the future held.
Minerva: of a rare calibre

2 weeks ago | europastar.com | Serge Maillard

Your browser does not support the audio element. A great specialist of chronograph timepieces, eminently recognisable thanks to its fluted bezel, the brand which Charles-Ivan Robert founded in 1858 in Villeret (where the manufacture is still based today) has influenced the history of watchmaking. Despite having changed hands several times during the course of its long existence, it can boast uninterrupted activity. Today, it is a part of the Montblanc constellation within the Richemont group.
Bell & Ross: 20 years squaring the circle

3 weeks ago | europastar.com | Serge Maillard

Your browser does not support the audio element. Bell & Ross equals Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo. It’s also France and Switzerland, circle and square, the BR-03 and the BR-05, professional and urban, skull and skeleton. Duality is at the core of the brand. It’s not even sure whether it should be classed as one of the largest independents or one of the smaller majors. And so much the better, as the “creative label” that Belamich and Rosillo set up in 1994 doesn’t like to be pigeonholed.
Singer Reimagined, an uncompromising path

4 weeks ago | europastar.com | Serge Maillard

Your browser does not support the audio element. Singer Reimagined is, first and foremost, defined by its own unique language and strong design codes, with a distinct identity since its launch in 2017. This is undoubtedly thanks to the expertise of its CEO, designer Marco Borracino, who conceived the identity of the watch brand to be associated with the Californian company acclaimed for “transforming” classic cars. “We are firmly grounded in our design logic that is also very clear,” he explains.
Interview with Richard Vaucher, new president of Arc Horloger

1 month ago | europastar.com | Serge Maillard

Your browser does not support the audio element. The new president of the Arc Horloger association, Richard Vaucher, has watchmaking in his veins: for how many generations has his family name contributed to a field that is at once an industry, a craft, and an art. A graduate of the Saint-Imier watchmaking school in the early 1980s, a particularly trying period for employment in Swiss horology, he was nevertheless recruited by the local giant, Longines.
Christophe Hoppé, watchmaking as a lifestyle

1 month ago | europastar.com | Serge Maillard

Christophe Hoppé’s life is one of striking contrasts: cultural, climatic, and horological. The Frenchman grew up in Saudi Arabia, where his father worked in the electricity sector, before returning to his native Alsace. He then decided to leave the Swiss side of the Jura, where he had gained extensive horological experience, to move to Australia, his wife’s homeland. There, he established one of the country’s few local watch brands, Bausele.
Caran d’Ache draws a line between generations

Your browser does not support the audio element. Imagine Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but with pens, fibre tips and coloured pencils instead of fudges and candies, and you have the inside of the Caran d’Ache factory in Geneva. The last remaining manufacturer of its kind in Switzerland is filled with weird and wonderful machinery which — necessity being the mother of invention — has been largely purpose-adapted by the company.
