TAG Heuer’s latest pieces presented by GENEVE COMPANY

tag heuer lvmh watch week

LVMH Watch Week was held in Singapore in early January. Some watchmakers presented their newest pieces during this fourth edition, and TAG Heuer was among them. From a connected watch to a Monza, there really was something for everyone. Let’s take a closer look at the models presented at the event.

The TAG Heuer Monza Flyback Chronometer 

You are likely quite familiar with the older models in the range. The first model was released in 1976 to celebrate driver Niki Lauda’s victory in the Formula 1 World Championship. The watch now comes in a 42 mm carbon case housing a skeleton dial and sub-dials in translucent smoky blue sapphire crystal. The date window, which has a disc with a luminescent background, is located at 9 o’clock The Flyback complication allows you to easily reset the chronograph as well as measure speed and heart rate. The timepiece contains a COSC-certified movement, the Calibre Heuer 02 Fyback, with an 80-hour power reserve. 

The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Solargraph

Last year, the watchmaker presented its first solar-powered watch featuring its so-called Solargraph technology. At the time, it released a diving watch with a six-month power reserve that was charged by sunlight. This year, the model is back in full force in a brand new titanium version with a 40 mm case housing a partially transparent dial. And good news! We carry it on our website and at our shop!

The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 60th Anniversary Edition

To commemorate 60 years of the Carrera chronograph, TAG Heuer is launching a 600-piece limited series inspired by the 1963 model. The 39 mm case holds a panda dial with a silver sunburst backdrop. The watch contains Calibre Heuer 02 with an 80-hour power reserve.

And what about smartwatches? Here you go! 

If you haven’t got the picture yet, TAG Heuer would like to stand out from its competitors with its smartwatches, so it was only natural for it to present an array of models. There is the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 42 mm in black DLC-coated titanium with a sandblasted finish and the signature design of the iconic Carrera chronograph. TAG Heuer also keeps golfers in its sights with the Connected Calibre E4 42 mm Golf Edition in titanium, a model featuring Full Shot Tracking technology that will take your golfing game to the next level. Its light weight is a great advantage. There is also the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Sport 45 mm, perfect for serious adventurers and sportspeople. The barometer allows you track elevation when jogging or hiking.

GENEVE presents Roberto Coin, the Venetian jeweller

roberto coin

Roberto Coin was established in 1996 and bears the same name as its founder. The brand’s creator is passionate about art and fashion. After his career in the hotel industry, he decided to pursue his dream. Today his creations are world renowned. Let’s take a closer look at his history and passion for jewellery.

Italy as a main source of inspiration 

Roberto Coin is a well-travelled man who draws his inspiration from nature, people, architecture, art and food. His creations testify to it. However, what inspires him most of all is undoubtedly his native country, Italy, and more specifically the wonderful city of Verona. It was the tragic love story between Romeo and Juliet that first captivated Roberto Coin, then the history of the city.

The floral motif at the heart of the Love in Verona collection

If you are familiar with the Love in Verona collection, you already know that it features a floral motif. But why? Roberto Coin goes back to medieval times, to the time of Romeo and Juliet, and imagines the hills of Verona full of blossoming flowers. Flowers were widely present during the Renaissance, a symbol of romanticism and love. For Roberto Coin, the flower motif is the essence itself of perfect love, the love that we all dream about.

The future of Roberto Coin jewellery 

All of the brand’s creations are designed to last a long time, both because of their quality and because of their timeless design. Roberto Coin seeks to maintain a meticulous process to preserve the brand’s identity and uniqueness. The company is also committed to ensuring transparency in terms of all the raw materials used. The origin of the materials must be exclusively conflict-free and from socially and environmentally ethical sources.

One this is certain, the Venetian jeweller Roberto Coin will continue to make us dream.

How to change a watch battery

quartz-watch

Do you have some quartz watches somewhere within your great collection? As you know, quartz watches do not work the same way as your hand- or self-winding watches do. Indeed, quartz timepieces run on a battery. This battery will eventually die, at which time it will need to be replaced to make your watch work again and to prevent corrosion. Here are GENEVE’s tips for replacing a battery.

When to change a watch battery 

In general, a watch battery will need to be replaced about every two years. How long it lasts may vary depending on how the owner uses the watch. Before changing a watch battery, you will often have to wait for your watch to stop running. However, some watches have an end-of-life (EOL) function that will alert you that it will soon be time to replace the battery. The seconds hand will start making five-second jumps. 

Things to consider before replacing a battery

Before beginning, take time to choose a suitable space where you can safely change the battery. Choose a bright, quiet room and make yourself comfortable. It is especially important that you never put your fingers on the watch movement, as you risk damaging it permanently. Once you have changed the battery, make sure that the seal is in the right place and in good condition. Do not hesitate to visit us at the shop if you need help.

How to change a battery

Changing the battery is one thing, while opening and closing the case back is another. There are three different kinds of case backs: snap-in case backs, screw-down case backs, and case backs with individual screws. Here is a look at how to proceed in each case.

Opening and closing snap-in case backs

If you have a watch case knife, you can open a snap-in case back by inserting the tool into the slot and using leverage. Closing it is not always easy; if you cannot do it, visit your watchmaker.

Opening and closing screw-down case backs 

If you have a special tool for opening screw-down case backs, we advise you to position the tool in the notches on the case back and gently turn. 

Opening and closing case backs with individual screws 

For case backs with individual screws, use a screwdriver suited to the size of the screws in order to avoid damaging the case back. To close it, just screw the screws back on.

Why should white gold be rhodium plated?

rhodium white gold

White gold is no doubt one of the most highly sought after metals. It is highly resistant and has a bright white colour that is easy to wear on a daily basis. However, no matter how well you care for them, white gold rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings acquire a patina over time. Yet, there is no need to worry; it is not irreversible! Indeed, there is a way for your jewellery to regain its colour and brilliance, as if it were the first day. This process is called rhodium plating. Following is an explanation of the features of white gold and this method.

All about white gold

White gold is an alloy. While yellow gold is usually a mix of 75% gold, 12.5% silver and 12.5% copper, white gold has less copper and more silver, which gives it its white colouring. Rhodium is then used to adjust the colour. Rhodium plating gives a piece of white gold jewellery a particularly dazzling white hue. White gold is highly regarded because of its resistance to shocks and corrosion, as well as for its beauty and timelessness. However, over time, shocks and friction will eventually wear down the rhodium layer to reveal an egg white colour that is not as shiny.

What is rhodium plating?

Rhodium plating is a technique used on white gold and silver jewellery. The main purpose is to give the piece a dazzling white hue. Before a piece of jewellery is rhodium plated, the jeweller thoroughly polishes it to ensure that it is completely smooth, which is a very important step for the quality of the plating. Once this is done, rhodium plating begins. Rhodium plating starts with ultrasonic cleaning, which will remove any residue that has accumulated over time. Once the piece of jewellery is clean, it will be soaked in four baths in a row. It will be degreased, rinsed several times, and then dipped in the rhodium plating solution. This last step will give your white gold jewellery a second life, making it appear as if it were new. To ensure that your jewellery never loses its shine, we strongly advise that you have it rhodium-plated by a professional every two years or so. And of course to take care of your jewellery on a daily basis.

If you have any white gold jewellery in need of a cleaning or rhodium plating, make an appointment at our GENEVE jewellery shop!

In January, go ice blue with the BR-X5 Ice Blue Steel

bell&ross ice blue

A colour that is appearing increasingly more often on wrists, ice blue is the ideal shade to incorporate into your wardrobe this winter. Bell & Ross has released the BR-X5, a precise, pure, lightweight and durable timepiece. An introduction to this unique model.

Pure architecture 

The watch features a water-resistant multi-component satin-brushed and polished steel case measuring 41 mm in diameter. Seen from the front, it seems discreet, but from the side, it has a pure, radical architecture. The ice blue sunburst dial catches the eye and adds an elegant touch. The hour markers are coated in Super-LumiNova® for optimal readability, even in low light conditions. The skeletonised metal hour and minute hands are also coated in Super-LumiNova®. 

A watch powered by an excellent manufacture movement

Developed by the manufacture Kennisi, the BR-CAL.323 is Bell & Ross’s first COSC-certified movement. It builds up a power reserve of three days, meaning that you can take off the watch for the entire weekend and it will still be running on Monday when you put it back on. There is a large rounded aperture at 3 o’clock. With this timepiece, Bell & Ross focuses on precision and reliability. 

A first for Bell & Ross

The BR-X5 stands out from other models by the brand due to its movement and to the functions displayed on the dial. Indeed, Bell & Ross offers something new with the date window at 3 o’clock and the circular power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. It is a new visual identity that the brand presents with the BR-X5.

Necklaces

Depending on your dress, you may not be able to wear a necklace. However, if you are able to and want to, a necklace will enhance your neckline.

For example, coloured stones or a long necklace that falls on your bare back.
