SIHH-2009 Opens in January
October 29, 2008
In 2009 the 19th Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie will be held from January 19 to 23 in Geneva, that is one day less than it was planned earlier.
We remind you that next year SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie), one of the main watchmaking fairs, for the first time will be held two months earlier than BaselWorld-2009. Before the dates of both watchmaking fairs overlapped and it was rather convenient for the participants and the guests.
At the forthcoming salon the following brands are going to present their novelties: A. Lange&Söhne, Alfred Dunhill, Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier, Cartier, Girard-Perregaux, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, JeanRichard, Montblanc, Officine Panerai, Parmigiani Fleurier, Piaget, Ralph Lauren, Roger Dubuis, Vacheron Constantin and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Alfred Dunhill Watches
January 31, 2008
Alfred Dunhill company started in 1893 in London. It was the first company that produced accessories for the first drivers. In 1903 Dunhill produced its first watch for motorists: it was not a wristwatch but a panel watch that was waterproof. But in course of time Alfred Dunhill company began to produce very stylish wristwatches that featured a lot of useful functions: for example chronograph Motoring Watch or Motor Cycle Watch Ns 895 with a folding dial cover. The range of watches was very wide: the customers could choose among the watches of any shape.
In 2003 the company began to work together with a well-know haute horlogerie expert Tom Bolt. This union resulted in the rebirth of the company’s watch line: under Bolt’s guidance new original collections of watches were created and each of these collections reflects the spirit of innovation that has been characteristic for Alfred Dunhill since its foundation. Bolt continued to create special watches for motorists. Among the most successful models are designer CarWatch, WheelWatch and PetrolHead, classical-sporty CityTamer, CityDrifter, CityFighter, chronograph BobbyFinder, and a women model Parody Rose. Each watch has a peculiarity of its own: delicate english nobility of style and extreme functionality.
CarWatch (based on automatic caliber ЕТА 2824-2) in an original case made of rose gold and ceramics resemble an automobile of the 1950-60s. At the ceramic bezel there is a place for a golden plate on which one can engrave the car’s number. Automatic steel chronograph BobbyFinder SP30 with a patented shutter fro the chronograph’s buttons is made in red and black. This watch is especially notable for stylish additional dials.
Tom Bolt’s favourite model is City Tamer. It is based on an automatic caliber ЕТА2824-2. The watch is available in rose and white gold or in steel. In a golden version the hand are made of multicolored gold. Cut sapphire glass resembles the outlines of the first Rolls-Royce’s headlights.
