Currently available for download in the WT shop and on digital newsstands, the summer edition of GMT offers its readers an air-land-sea trilogy synonymous with vacation time, as well as with fields of expression explored by a number of watch brands, and a compass for our editorial team throughout this edition. As slim and light as a puff of breeze, the Octo Finissimo on our cover sets the tempo, while the fourth world record it earns Bulgari does not prevent management from keeping their feet on the ground. The same goes for Thierry Esslinger, the recently appointed CEO of Breguet, who evokes the Marine adventure and the reason for which Breguet’s commitment to the seas naturally also involves both air and land.
When Patek Philippe offers a new dual-time watch designed for pilots, we immediately take the controls to offer our readers a top-flight analysis in our test bench column. Earth consists of rock, and that is what the astonishing castle owned by Bovet is made of. It also happens to be the company’s headquarters. The staging of these three elements naturally also applies to our in-house photoshoot portfolio, revealing 2018 new models, some of which as exclusives or in preview mode. The transition from photography to watch photo competitions is a natural one that we invite you to take by taking part in the first of its kind for an international public, on watch-photo-awards.com. The wonderful world of watchmaking still has plenty of surprises in store for us!
