Baselworld 2012: The glacial cool of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-011
There’s something decidedly comical about raving over nothing more than an alternative dial colour. However, this is Patek Philippe that we’re talking about here, folks. And the white-dialed Nautilus 5711/1A-011 leaves us speechless.

Where Rolex slides, Tudor soars at Baselworld with the Heritage Black Bay

Never mind Baselworld: SIHH 2012 and the Baume et Mercier Capeland
It really isn’t easy to bring up the rear of the SIHH 2012 coverage. But someone had to do it. This said, we wouldn’t waste your time with anything trivial, or mundane. Oh, no. What we’d like to share with you is the very fetching Capeland line of timepieces from Baume et Mercier.

It’s no coincidence that your first encounter with Gruebel Forsey timepieces will likely conjure up fantasy worlds where bunnies rush around (perpetually late), folk celebrate 364 Unbirthdays every year and a deranged Queen has a fancy for removing her subjects’ heads.

SIHH 2012: Baume et Mercier welcomes us into their Hamptons home
Baume et Maercier suprised us at SIHH 2012 by inviting us into their sumptuous, and highly idealised, Hamptons home. Turns out they had more than comfortable couches and gorgeous lighting to offer us.

SIHH 2012: Panerai Radiomir 1940 Special Edition
We continue to argue over the pros and cons of Panerai, but there sure as hell ain’t waiting for us to finish. The 2012 edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie saw Panerai unveil a host of new models, including the suitably strapping Radiomir 1940 in both stainless and rose gold. Fight on.

Our coverage of SIHH 2012 kicks off with what we would argue is the sexiest watch complication and gyration we’ve yet seen: the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Sphérotourbillon.
