The event is a bright light in the horological dark ages of late winter
With the watch industry’s big annual horology fest, Watches and Wonders, still three months away, the Swiss watch industry likes to keep its powder dry in the dark days of January. So it’s often slim pickings for watch hounds after some novelties. A bright spot however is LVMH Watch Week, which took place in Miami a few days ago. Featured are new pieces from Bulgari, TAG Heuer, Hublot, and Zenith—and this time around the newsworthy reappearance of niche brands Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta.
Last week the brand debuted two new ceramic Classic Fusion pieces in unusual yellow and sky-blue ceramics featuring Orlinski’s faceted approach in case and strap. This being Hublot, of course the insides matter just as much as the outsides, and both feature the HUB6021 manual-wind skeletonised tourbillon movement.
