2015 is filled with the promise of innovations for Breguet, Blancpain and Jaquet Droz.

Sascha Moeri, CEO Carl F. Bucherer:
2015 will continue to be exciting for Carl F. Bucherer. Again, grand complications will be introduced and the success of our collections continued. We successfully launched the Pathos in 2014, a new collection dedicated to the ladies. Also the Patravi ScubaTec, our diver’s watch, was a great success. In 2015, we will see new additions to these lines and at Baselworld we will present yet another new brand collaboration combined with products. So, you see, Carl F. Bucherer is looking forward to another remarkable year.

Vincent Perriard, CEO HYT Watches:
An insane year for HYT with the launch of a major watchmaking project every quarter… along with the continuation of the brand’s development abroad with its first boutique… and all this within the complex environment that Swiss watchmaking is probably going to have to cope with over the next 12 to 18 months…

We are celebrating the brand’s 20th anniversary all over the world and through 20 exclusive, intimate dinners with clients and partners of the brand who have always supported us. For the occasion, we will present them with an exceptional piece: the Hommage Minute Repeater Tourbillon Automatic, which is naturally limited to just 20 pieces. From the SIHH onwards, we will also celebrate “the year of the skeleton” to reaffirm our status as a pioneer and virtuoso in the art of making contemporary skeleton calibres! So 2015 will be a year of celebration and affirmation! We sincerely trust it will be crowned with success!
Peter Speake-Marin, CEO Speake-Marin:
Every year is a new beginning as is every day; the year marks a full cycle completed and a new one beginning. For 2015 my hope is that I never forget that fact. Amid the watches, events and travels, the most important part of life is being aware that I am living it every day, and that it is a gift I often take for granted.
