This week we take a sneak peek at a new biography of Jean-Claude Biver, interview A. Lange & Söhne’s CEO Wilhelm Schmid and make a splash with Carl F. Bucherer.

We continue our round-table discussions on the ladies' categories for this year’s GPHG with a look at the jewellery category today. Later this week the editorial team will share its thoughts on the Petite Aiguille category before we turn attention to the men's categories.

Olivier Müller, was lucky enough to see the proofs of the new biography of Jean-Claude Biver before they even reached the hands of the proofreader. This week, he brings us a sneak peek at the book in the form of some extracts that illustrate just why this genius of the watch industry merits an entire book about him.

“Jean-Claude Biver is a genius of the industry who rightly merits a biography”
