The Salon International de Haute Horlogerie has started. A few weeks back i already posted about the SIHH and the first novelty that was revealed…. the Richard Lange Pour Les Merites. The last few days more brands share their new masterpieces. You can read about them and see them at many watchforum like Perpetuelle, a forum dedicated to the love for beautiful timepieces.

Here is a full list of all brands that will expose on the SIHH:

In the next week i will post about the most remarkeble new releases and of course my personal favorites. Let me start with a very watch with a very special moonphase, the . Besides a very clean and classy design this watch features a manufacture movement, the Piaget 860P. This mechanical self-winding movement with 72 hours of powerreserve is housed in a 46.5mm large white gold case.

In the Netherlands there are ten authorized dealer. One of them is Eugen van Baal in Nijmegen, who was so kind to host a Glashütte Original lunch during the European GTG in november last year.

Another remarkable beauty watch is the the Mont Blanc Grand Chronographe Régulateur of Mont Blanc’s Collection Villeret 1858.

The most eye-catching features on the new chronograph are the regulator dial with its small hour circle at 12 o’clock and a large central minute hand. These are complemented by a second time zone display, a day/night indicator, a combined power reserve / winding display, the continuously running seconds hand and the chronograph function with its single-button operation and a large centre chronograph hand.

The next days i will post about more beautiful new watches releaved during the SIHH.
