If 2020 had gone as planned, the peak would have headed to Geneva in april to attend Watches & Wonders, the major watch fair formerly known the Salon Internationale de la haute horlogerie, or SIHH

Guilloche – the art of decorative engraving with a rose engine lathe – lends a distinctive character to these faces.

We could all do with some time-fixing now and then. We’d like to stretch it so that the moment feels a little longer, shrink it so it goes away faster, or change it up when it suits us. Cartier likes the idea, too. At the recent SIHH event (that would be Geneva’s annual Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie), it “stretched, shrank and transformed” the iconic timepieces from its Baignoire and Crash ranges into five individually numbered, very limited, and endlessly fascinating jewellery watches for its latest Libre Collection.

Following sihh, watch connoisseurs had another event to look forward to, the week-long baselworld 2016 in its namesake city. Here are some of the most memorable pieces.

Stay on schedule around the world with the latest dual-time designs.
