Our new monthly competition and news from Only Watch and GPHG 2015

While our daily competitions throughout the summer are keeping the Swiss postal service busy, the change of month means that another valuable prize is up for grabs in our latest monthly competition. This month we are offering a fantastic Arche music box worth 3,900 Swiss francs from Swiss brand Reuge, which is famous for encapsulating its mechanical music boxes in designs that range from children’s toys to coffee machines.

“The build-up to GPHG and Only Watch 2015 has started”

Paul O'Neil

The numerous watch factories dotted around Switzerland may be getting ready for their annual holidays but there is no let-up in the pace of watch-related news. Last week saw the announcement of the unique pieces that will be auctioned at the Only Watch sale later this year (follow all the news in our special Only Watch 2015 section) and the news that the GPHG 2015 has teamed up with Dubai retailer Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons to organize the first-ever Dubai Watch Week. With entries for the GPHG 2015 now closed and the candidate watches set to be published at the beginning of next week, you can follow all our GPHG 2015 related coverage in a special section.

With De Grisogono’s New Retro collection hitting the stores now, I took the opportunity to review a little renaissance in the field of rectangular watches, which you can read today. The technology of the Apple Watch may not be inspiring for the Swiss watch industry, but could its shape have inspired some of the more avant-garde rectangular watches launched this year?
