SIHH<\/strong><\/em> took place in Geneva, Switzerland over the past week, giving some of the world\u2019s top brands the opportunity to showcase their new season novelties.<\/p>\n

Interchangeable Straps<\/h2>\n

Whilst traditional watchmaking<\/strong> remains largely unaffected by the invent of smartwatches thanks to the skill, detail and expertise required to create such timeless pieces, there is one element that has infiltrated the design process: interchangeable straps. This year, several brands introduced styles that were able to be customised.<\/p>\n

Hublot\u00a0<\/strong>presented the new updates of it Big Bang One Click Sapphire<\/em> style,\u00a0Vacheron Constantin<\/strong>\u2018s Dual Time<\/em> model will be delivered to clients with two or three straps and its Perpetual Calenda<\/em>r will also have the interchangeable strap option. Over at\u00a0Cartier<\/strong>, the brand announced that its famed Santos de Cartier<\/em> timepiece has been updated with a QuickSwitch<\/em> function that allows customers to switch between a leather or metal bracelet simply by pressing a button a button on the back of the watch and\u00a0Panerai\u00a0<\/strong>revealed its new Quick Release System<\/em> on its Luminor Due<\/em> styles for easy personalisation.<\/p>\n

Outstanding designs<\/h2>\n

Cartier<\/strong> delivered one of the most mesmerising pieces during the week: the R\u00e9v\u00e9lation D\u2019une Panth\u00e9re<\/em>. Five years in the making, the piece features 900 tiny gold beads that seemingly melt into the face of a panther on the watch face with a flick of the wrist. The design has two patents, one for the liquid inside the watch face that allows the beads to rise and fall and another for the glass.<\/p>\n

Another breathtaking piece came courtesy of\u00a0Van Cleef & Arpels<\/strong>\u2018 new Lady Plan\u00e9tarium<\/em> novelty. The numbered design is completely new for the house \u2014 it was\u00a0started from scratch three years ago \u2014 and features the solar system on the watch face. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Moon all revolve around the dial in the exact sequence they follow in reality, meaning, for example, that it will take 365 days for the Earth to fully rotate around the face.<\/p>\n

Vacheron Constantin<\/strong> was the final presentation we attended during the week and its new M\u00e9tiers d\u2019Art<\/em> collection was a standout from the week. Inspired by the first hot air balloon flights taken in France between 1783 and 1785, there are five limited edition pieces, each of which tells a different story through the hand-engraved motif on the dial.<\/p>\n
