Cases from every angle

watch case

When choosing a watch, you do so based on a range of criteria, including the material, the colour, the design and the shape. The case shape is crucial, as it is an expression of your personality. While we usually go with a round shape –the most popular–, there are in fact others to choose from. You will increasingly come across different shapes, such as rectangular or even triangular. Let’s take a closer look at case shapes.  

Different case shapes

Here is an overview of the most common case shapes in the world of watches. 

The standard shape: round 

The quintessential classic shape, a round case suits both men and women. It is an easy-to-wear shape for every occasion that goes with every style of clothing.

The geometric shape: square and rectangular 

Square and rectangular dials and cases have been very popular in recent years. These shapes, which convey a more serious and formal image, are often used in the watch industry. 

The feminine shape: oval

The oval is a highly regarded shape among women. With this shape, it is possible to stick with a rounded form while adding a touch of originality.

The in-between shape: cushion-shaped

Are you deciding between square and round? Then the cushion shape is made for you! This square shape featuring rounded corners captivates enthusiasts with its unconventional lines.

The ultra-masculine shape: barrel-shaped

Drawing on the silhouette of a barrel, this shape is used less often than the others. It is more popular with men than with women. It is a bold choice that looks good with a range of styles.

Come visit our shops to learn more about our models! We look forward to helping you discover all the secrets of our case shapes. You will inevitably find the perfect one for you.

Elegance and durability with the Portofino Chronograph 39

gisele bundchen iwc portofino chronograph 39

The new IWC Schaffhausen campaign focuses on the latest addition to the Portofino collection, the Portofino Chronograph 39. It is worn by supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Here is a closer look at this timepiece that is both elegant and durable, like the new muse.

The perfect ambassador for the Portofino Chronograph 39

Gisele Bündchen, the new face of the Portofino Chronograph 39, perfectly represents the environmental values that are so dear to IWC Schaffhausen. The famous Brazilian supermodel is part of this focus, serving as IWC’s first Environmental & Community Projects Advisor. Moreover, she has been a UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador since 2009. In the campaign, Gisele Bündchen wears several watches from the brand, most notably the new Portofino Chronograph 39, an elegant designer timepiece. A collaboration that makes perfect sense.

A chronograph for everyday use

The 39 mm chronograph has a stainless steel case, a silvered dial and rhodium-plated hands. It is powered by the IWC-manufactured 69355 calibre. The durable and precise chronograph movement features a classic column-wheel design allowing for the measurement of time intervals up to 30 minutes. It is visible through a domed sapphire glass that has anti-reflective coating on both sides and builds up a power reserve of 46 hours. The watch is water resistant to 5 bar. The Portofino 39 comes with a beige calfskin strap. The strap can be changed quickly and easily, allowing you to go with a different style whenever you want.

The Breitling Chronomat family is welcoming two new members

breitling chonomat gmt 40

Breitling has recently announced that it is releasing two new Chronomat models. On the one hand there is the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 and on the other, the Super Chronomat Automatic 38, both of which will be the perfect fit for any wrist. New sizes, new features and a streamlined look for the latest Breitling pieces.

The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40, a watch for travellers

Because travel is back on the agenda, watchmakers are focusing on GMT complications. GMT is the abbreviation of Greenwich Mean Time, the very first international time zone. The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 has two time zones and a casual, versatile design. The dials come in black, blue, green, anthracite and white and are combined with a steel bracelet and case. The GMT hand stands out on the dial with its bold red colour. The watch is powered by Breitling Calibre 32. The 24-hour scale allows users to track a second time zone and know whether it is day or night. The crown is Chronomat’s signature “onion” type. The timepiece is water resistant to a depth of 200 metres. A timepiece combining the air, land and sea in an elegant, understated style.

Anya Taylor-Joy, the new face of the Reverso Classic Duetto

jaeger-lecoultre anya taylor-joy

This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre has sought out a new face, a symbol of elegance. The Swiss watchmaker has chosen the talented actress Anya Taylor-Joy as a new ambassador. Let’s take a closer look at Anya Taylor-Joy, the latest Reverso Classic Duetto and the wonderful models that we carry at our GENEVE shops.

Anya Taylor-Joy and Jaeger-LeCoultre, a perfect match

Anya Taylor-Joy was born in Miami to Anglo-Argentine parents. She spent her childhood in Buenos Aires and London. You are likely to have seen her in critically acclaimed roles like in the series The Queen’s Gambit. She is also part of a family with close ties to Polo, and she herself is very interested in watchmaking. The actress perfectly embodies timeless elegance and multifaceted charm. For Jaeger-LeCoultre, there is no doubt that she is the epitome of the Reverso Classic Duetto. 

The new Reverso Classic Duetto

The Reverso Classic Duetto timepiece is both elegant and brilliantly modern. It draws its inspiration from the codes of Art Deco style with its rectangular case, reversibility and iconic gadroons. The latest piece is a reinterpretation of a model from the late 1930s that features a similarly elegant, although completely different, style on the other side of the dial. This feminine watch has two sets of hands. It also features the three-lined gadroons, 12 Arabic numerals, two-tone finished dials and sword-shaped hands. The distinguished look is enhanced with the circular graining adorning the inside cradle. Two different perspectives offering incredible beauty and finesse to all who wear it.

How to choose a watch strap ?

watch strap

Choosing a watch strap is as important a step as choosing a watch. The strap provides not only comfort, but also style. It is a daily reflection of your personality. There are ever more strap options on the watch market, which allows you to change the strap based on your mood and desires. GENEVE wants to help you choose your watch strap to fit the occasion and your tastes.

Choose the best watch strap for you

It is sometimes difficult to make a decision regarding the strap. First of all, we advise you to take your style into account. If you have a rather classic look, not all strap styles will necessarily suit you. On the contrary, if you do physical work or practice intense physical activities, the watch strap must last over time and withstand extreme situations. First think about your style, but also about when you will be wearing the strap.

Different watch straps 

Here is a guide to help you choose.

Rubber straps

Increasingly more common, rubber straps have been very popular for several years now. These kinds of water-resistant straps pair perfectly with sporty timepieces and are resistant to perspiration. Hence, if you like scuba diving and sports in general, the rubber strap is the ideal option for you! However, avoid rubber straps for formal evenings, as their sporty look is not appropriate for this kind of event.

Fabric straps

Fabric straps are the most versatile kind, as they can be used for sports and for dressier occasions. Reliable and robust, they can last for several years. They are an elegant and comfortable option.

NATO straps

Created by the British Army for pilots, NATO straps have become true fashion accessories. They are resistant and easily washable. NATO straps are especially great because they can be easily changed according to your mood.

Leather straps

For daily use, leather straps are elegant and classic. They can be worn in any circumstance. They are comfortable and come in a multitude of colours. However, we do no suggest wearing them when you come into contact with water.

Steel bracelets

Steel bracelets are also an interesting choice for everyday wear, because they are comfortable, solid and, most importantly, easy to clean! If you have a strong personality, go with a traditional steel bracelet. Conversely, if you prefer something more understated, a Milanese mesh bracelet will be perfect for you.

If you need help choosing your watch strap, we look forward to helping you at our shop.

The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph: the pilot’s watch for all generations

Breitling has been making us dream with the Breitling pilot’s watch for 70 years now. To celebrate this anniversary, Breitling is unveiling a more modern, younger, more colorful reinterpretation of the collection. Let’s take a look at the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph, a true watchmaking icon that has always been on everyone’s lips.

An in-house movement for stellar performance

In addition to the perfect combination of Breitling’s heritage and new on-trend design codes, the latest Navitimers are also very precise tool watches. Indeed, all the timepieces contain a self-winding mechanical movement, the COSC-certified Manufacture Breitling 01 calibre. The movement builds up a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, making it ideal for changing watches over the weekend. It is also extremely precise, oscillating at 28,800 vibrations per hour.

A modern and retro style for the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph

The Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph retains its look and feel by keeping the elements that have always been there: a circular slide rule, baton indexes, a trio of chronograph counters and a notched bezel. Nevertheless, it has an updated profile thanks to the flattened slide rule and domed glass. The watch has a slimmer silhouette, which enhances the view of the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber 01 through the transparent case back. It is available in three different sizes –41, 43 and 46 mm–, ensuring that there will be a model that is perfect for you! The case comes in a first version in stainless steel and a second version in 18-carat red gold. As for the bracelet, you can choose between a metal bracelet and an alligator strap. Meanwhile, the dial sports a palette of colours between blue, green, copper or even black and white. And the detail that makes this watch even more wonderful is the return of the winged logo of AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) at 12 o’clock. In short, the Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph features a more up-to-date look that is sure to delight all generations.

RARE HANDCRAFTS BY PATEK PHILIPPE IN 2022

La Rare Handcrafts Exhibition 2022 de Patek Philippe se trata de una exhibición abierta al público la cual se celebró en los salones Patek Philippe, en la ciudad de Ginebra. Esta exhibición tuvo lugar durante el 6 de abril hasta el 23 de abril, a excepción de los domingos. 

Con esta edición de 2022, por primera vez, esta exposición además, en  su historia, se trasladó fuera de Ginebra, concretamente a París, del 14 al 22 de mayo. 

En esta exposición, no solo se pudo disfrutar de las grandes obras de diseño, si no que también se pudo disfrutar del trabajo de los artesanos en directo. 

Todas las piezas expuestas en este gran evento, pasaron acto seguido a sus nuevos dueños, los cuales las usaron para decorar sus casas y no volverán a salir. Es por lo que, este evento, es la única oportunidad de poder verlas, disfrutarlas y sentirnos cerca de ellas. Estamos frente a un evento de obligatoria asistencia para todos los amantes del mundo de la alta relojería, o básicamente del arte en general. 

De este evento hemos podido destacar dos creaciones en concreto: 

20118M “Bol d’Or” y 995/130G-001 “Swan”

20118M “Bol d’Or”

Esta pieza se trata nada más que un “Pendulette Dôme”, un modelo de reloj de mesa de los más famosos de la marca de relojería suiza. Ofrece una gran superficie externa, esta superficie lo que permite es que se convierta en un espacio óptimo para poder plasmar en dicha superficie cualquier tipo de trabajo artístico o artesanal. 

Cuando hablamos de esta pieza de colección hablamos de técnicas de esmalte cloisonné y paillon para reproducir de una manera casi exacta la Regata Bol d’Or. Se le rinde homenaje a esta regata ya que el actual presidente de Patek Philippe, Philippe Stern, ganó dicha regata un total de 7 veces.  

El 20128M “Bol d’Or” es una pieza única en la que las técnicas utilizadas, las ya mencionadas y otras como la pintura en miniatura. Esta obra de arte lleva inscritas además las fechas en las cuales Philippe Stern ganó dicha regata. Podemos observar también como en la carcasa de esta obra está dibujado el recorrido de la regata con hilo de oro. 

Con una cifra de 13,8 metros de hilo de oro y 64 colores opacos, semi opacos y translúcidos se realiza la pintura de esta fenomenal obra de arte. Además, viene equipada con un calibre 17 PEND, movimiento mecánico cuya energía se genera mediante un motor eléctrico.

20118M “Bol d’Or”

995/130g-001 “Swan”

La siguiente pieza se trata de un reloj de bolsillo, al cual se le atribuye el nombre de “swan”, ya que su principal motivo decorativo es un cisne. Para la creación de esta obra los artesanos de Patek Philippe recurren al esmaltado, marquetería de madera y grabado manual. 

El fondo del reloj está hecho con esmalte negro y sobre el se encuentran aplicados en oro blanco, los índices horarios en forma de números romanos del tipo Breguet. Hasta las agujas, incluida el segundero, también se han elaborado con oro blanco y están decoradas con grabados manuales. 

En el reverso de esta obra encontramos la figura de un cisne hecha con una asombrosa técnica de micro marquetería. Se elige el cisne ya que es un animal típico de Ginebra. Se usan 23 tipos distintos de madera en las 223 final láminas y 30 incrustaciones  que conforman esta figura. 

En el interior de este reloj de bolsillo encontramos el calibre 17” LEP PS, un movimiento de carga manual con indicación de segundero pequeño.
