KEEP WATCH Officine Panerai has introduced a new timepiece to its Luminor Marina collection.

The Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic is enhanced with a steel bracelet made of links that echo the bridgeshape of the device protecting the crown. The new bracelet is sturdy yet lighter than previous models and is paired with a lightweight case. The watch’s black dial has beige markers that are luminous in the dark. In keeping with Officine Panerai’s heritage, the watch can be used underwater: the 42mm model is water resistant to 10 bar, while the 44mm version can withstand 30 bar. grc Officine Panerai, 19 rue du Rhône, 1204 Geneva, +41 (0)22 818 6644, panerai.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 46

Knitwear, skirts and trousers in colours ranging from beige, azure and olive green to grey, gold and pale pink are at the centre of the collection, which pays tribute to nature and colourful landscapes. Accessories such as caps, chunky boots and stylish gloves add the perfect finishing touches. js Brunello Cucinelli, Bahnhofstrasse 36, 8001 Zürich, +41 (0)43 497 3530, brunellocucinelli.com FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 42

Made of halfshearling and finished with transparent commando soles, the Milo in Sport Calf with Shearling (CHF895) looks great paired with denim.

IN STORE: BONGÉNIE With 17 shops across the country, Bongénie Grieder is a leading light in Swiss luxury retail. The family-run business is now headed by Pierre Brunschwig, as president, who talks to Ginger Rose Clark about the group’s historic store in Geneva and how the company balances contemporary and classic appeal

‘The first shop opened in Geneva in 1891 ‒ a long time ago. The company began as a bazaar selling products for the home. In the early 1970s we bought Grieder in Zürich and became a national brand.

‘The metamorphosis from a series of appliance shops a century ago to the current stores is down to my grandfather, Émile Brunschwig, and his sons Michel and JeanJacques. Today Bongénie not only carries ready-to-wear fashion but also accessories, perfumes and home furnishings. Bongénie Grieder is now considered the leading chain of top-of-the-range stores in Switzerland.

‘The Geneva department store has an interesting history. After a fire ravaged the shop in 1964, a sale of damaged items was organised at Geneva’s exhibition centre and a temporary store was built in containers in the centre of the city. After less than a year’s work the six-floor building was reopened.

‘Originally, I worked in finance, but was not happy. Marketing and fashion were more interesting to me so I joined the family business.

Save money by shopping tax free, see page 52

There is a certain pride in belonging to a family business and we have many projects to develop. Today, our stores are places designed for visitors to stroll, meet others, and try and buy products; these are spaces that are defined by luminosity, a well-selected range of goods, comfort and customer service. Contemporary and playful architecture, restaurants and bars, and hair and beauty salons are included in our diverse selection, where the most contemporary brands sit alongside more classic labels. We want to cater to different lifestyles, to welcome a cosmopolitan public of all generations to our atmospheric shops.

‘We have a mix of local customers and foreign visitors, depending on the time of year. Bongénie Grieder dresses a demanding customer, who loves beautiful materials, who has taste and who follows fashion. Every day is therefore a new challenge in our business.’

A fine Swiss timepiece is the ultimate in luxury. Beth Druce discovers the newest releases from the leading brands Right: Omega watch components

30 | F E AT U R E

T

oday the word luxury may be widely used, yet the world of haute horlogerie, with its intricate products and its finesse, is truly worthy of the term.

In this supremely specialist industry of handcrafted mechanical timepieces (those that are operated by a mechanism, rather than electronically) the legacy and expertise of Swiss houses are the envy of watchmakers throughout the world.

While a mechanism made in Switzerland has a special cachet, the specific appeal of a single timepiece is often a personal thing. Anthony Walker has been collecting watches for 20 years and has a keen interest in what attracts someone to a watch. ‘For me,’ he says, ‘the most important thing is that the movement, the case, the face and hands have been designed to be as one; that there is continuity and harmony to them so nothing looks incongruous.

A bought in or multi-purpose mechanism does detract from the sense of heritage and design but can be overcome.’

Patek Philippe, established in 1839, is Geneva’s oldest independent and familyowned watch house. It both develops and manufactures its mechanisms in-house and is famed for introducing the world’s first perpetual calendar wristwatch back in 1925. The house is distinguished for its early use of precious metals and stainless steel in cases and bracelets. In 2014 its Supercomplication pocket 53 57

watch sold for $24m, making it the most expensive watch on record today. For 2017 the brand celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Aquanaut, a sporty timepiece that was originally made in stainless steel with a black dial. This year’s commemorative edition, the 5168G, has a blue dial and a white gold case. Ultimately, however, Patek Philippe is a house renowned for its occasion watches. The 5970R is Walker’s dream model.

A timepiece with a double complication (a complication is any function over and above timekeeping), it is regarded by many as one of the best watches the house has ever made.

In 1868 Boston watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones founded IWC in Schaffhausen, bringing together new technology, Swiss watchmaking and hydropower from the nearby river Rhine.

Fast forward 150 years and IWC is distinguished as much for its watches as for its pareddown aesthetic and celebrity following. The house is built around a concept of watch ‘families’; Pilot’s, Portugieser, Ingenieur, Aquatimer, Da Vinci and Portofino have become classic styles in their own right while the Grande Complication and the IWC Vintage collection cater for a specific and very discerning niche customer. For 2017 IWC has reworked the Da Vinci collection, which was first introduced during the 1980s, and it is currently looking to widen the appeal of the watch family to women. ‘We are Above (clockwise from top left): Portugieser Perpetual Calender watch; Da Vinci Automatic Moon Phase 36; Ingenieur Chronograph; an expert watchmaker’s meticulous attention to detail; Big Pilot’s Watch Annual Calendar Spitfire, all IWC Schaffhausen

For 2017 IWC has reworked the Da Vinci collection and is looking to widen the appeal of the watch family to women consciously trying to anchor the brand in the minds of women, who account for a significant proportion of watch lovers,’ explains Franziska Gsell, IWC’s chief marketing officer.

IWC is not the only watch house that is keen to draw the female watch buyer closer into the fold. Omega has been producing watches

since the 1890s and for 2017 the house has unveiled the Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Chronometer ladies’ collection and the Ladymatic fine jewellery range ‒ a jewellery collection inspired by Omega’s classic Ladymatic timepiece.

In addition, 2017 also marks the 60th anniversary of the Omega Speedmaster chronograph. It is the watch

that was worn by Buzz Aldrin when he set foot on the Moon in 1969 and its design is recognised and admired the world over. For the anniversary, Omega has released a commemorative edition of the Speedmaster, with proportions that match those of the original 1957 model. While there are many obvious technical

FOR THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE OMEGA SPEEDMASTER THE BRAND HAS RELEASED A SPECIAL EDITION WITH TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS. IT NODS TO THE GROWING APPEAL OF THE DESIGN OF VINTAGE TIMEPIECES

improvements (the chronograph caliber 1861 rather than the original 321, and the radium lume is replaced with SuperLuminova that replicates the colour), ultimately the edition is a celebration of the very first style, and it nods to the growing appeal of the

design of vintage timepieces.

While trends change and evolve, the selection of a watch is ultimately about what appeals to the individual.

For Walker it is about complications. A tourbillon (a mechanism that spins on itself) is, he says ‘enchanting to simply stare at and watch’.

A perpetual calendar, he adds, ‘is a wonder of calculation and engineering’. Swiss watch houses by their very nature offer a level of mastery that is held in high esteem, but it is for the wearer to decide which elements of a timepiece, be it the function or aesthetic, will be best suited to them

SWEET TREATS From classic truffles to innovative creations made with honeycomb and even peppercorns, Switzerland’s reputation as a haven for chocolate lovers is thoroughly deserved.

Hannah Lewis discovers some of the best makers

Switzerland has played an important part in the history of chocolate as we know it today.

In 1875, Swiss chocolatier Daniel Peter was the first to add powdered milk to chocolate, creating the now ubiquitous milk chocolate and – frankly – revolutionising the industry. Four years later, in 1879, Rodolphe Lindt created the conche, a mixer that is still one of the key tools in chocolate making to this day. Without these Swiss pioneers, we might never have discovered the exquisite pleasure that comes with sinking your teeth into a beautifully made truffle or chocolate bar.

Today Switzerland is famous for its cocoa creations. Its leading chocolatiers are revered across the world for the delicious sweet treats they produce. From historic purveyors to modern masters, our selection of some of the best chocolate creators in Switzerland is underlined by a guarantee of great service, consistently beautiful presentation and, above all else, fantastic tasting chocolate that will have you coming back for more. globalblue.com

SPRÜNGLI Sprüngli started making luxurious chocolates in 1836 and opened its current flagship – on the corner of Bahnhofstrasse and Paradeplatz in Zürich – in 1859. It was one of the first great Swiss chocolatiers and helped establish the nation’s reputation for excellence in the field. For more than 180 years the masters at Sprüngli have handmade pralines, truffles and more, freshly produced each day using recipes passed down through generations. Only the finest ingredients are selected, and no chocolate will ever contain artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Choose from the wide range of classic and newly devised chocolates and enjoy with a delicious cup of coffee at the adjoining café.

D U R H Ô N E C H O C O L AT I E R The first Du Rhône opened in 1875 and took its name from the emblematic rue du Rhône on which it stood; the company’s main public space is now an extensive boutique on rue de la Confédération. The team is led by master chocolatier Jean-Pascal Sérignat and it makes world-class confections using traditional Swiss methods. Only top-quality cocoa beans from South America and west Africa are used, with no additives or preservatives. Du Rhône is famous for three chocolates in particular, each of which is an award-winning ganache. Coline consists of 70% dark chocolate with beans from Brazil and Papua New Guinea; Imperial is flavoured with Earl Grey and unsmoked China tea; and Mocca Glacé, featuring delicious mocha notes, is made to a recipe kept secret for more than a century. Our recommendation?

Try all three.

Du Rhône Chocolatier, 3 rue de la Confédération, 1211 Geneva, +41 (0)22 311 5614, du-rhone.ch A U E R C H O C O L AT I E R The Auer family has been making chocolates for five generations, so it is no surprise that the goods on offer at its Geneva boutique are some of the most renowned in the city. You’ll find a wide variety of flavours and styles here, whether you’re looking for something mild, sweet and smooth or you are craving serious cocoa content. The pralines are standout and the truffles completely divine. Be assured that every chocolate at this shop is handmade.

With more than 50 different varieties on offer, a selection box is a necessity. There are a number of different sizes, so make sure yours has some of the classics: truffles, pralines and ganaches.

L ÄD ER ACH As a leading supplier to catering companies and confectioners around the world, Läderach is used to clients with exacting standards. The same stringent quality control is applied to every piece of chocolatey goodness it sells in its boutiques. The company is famous for its blocks of frischschokolade – fresh chocolate – which come loaded with delicious additions, from nuts or dried fruits to honeycomb and

M A X C H O C O L AT I E R Named after the founder’s son who loves chocolate just as much as his father and grandfather, Max Chocolatier is the youngest establishment on our list. It has forged a strong reputation for excellence since it started in 2009. The König family scours the world for the best raw ingredients, which are then transported to the Max factory in Lucerne, where diligent research and hard work result in some of the most delicious chocolates you could hope to taste. The team wants its clients to feel that they’re tasting chocolate for the first time, so even the smallest bite of Max’s chocolate will be enticing. Look out for seasonal truffles, such as chestnut in autumn and caramel and pink pepper in winter.

even peppercorns. We also love the chocolatecoated mini mousses – fluffy egg white foam on a crispy waffle, covered in rich Swiss chocolate.

Läderach offers beautiful selections to take away as gifts and souvenirs. The only problem is trying not to eat them all yourself.

Founded in 1983, Chronoswiss hails from Lucerne and is one of the more niche Swiss watchmaking brands, although its sleek products are no less luxurious or high quality than some of the better-known industry names. In 1987 Chronoswiss was the first company to create a regulator wristwatch series. Two decades later, the greatly anticipated Sirius Grand Regulator was released, and it continues to be a bestseller.

The brand’s love of detail and horological finesse is evident in this latest addition to the Regulator collection. The timepiece presents an innovative three-dimensional dial in a new, contemporary look.

Сегодня слово «роскошь» встречается настолько часто, что уже в какой-то мере утеряло свое первоначальное значение. Чтобы понять, что означает настоящая роскошь стоит лишь взглянуть на творения haute horlogerie. Эта индустрия по ручной сборке механических часов (тех, что управляются не электронно, а за счет сложных механизмов) обязана своему существованию знаменитым швейцарским мануфактурам, которые являются пределом мечтаний многих часовщиков по всему миру. Хотя на каждом механизме, собранном в Швейцарии, ставится особая отметка, для будущего владельца все решает дело вкуса.

тем, что именно привлекает людей в тех или иных часах. «Для меня, – говорит он, – самое главное, чтобы ход, корпус, циферблат и стрелки составляли единое целое; каждая деталь должна продолжать и дополнять другую, не должно быть ничего лишнего. Многофункциональный механизм отвлекает от наслаждения простотой эстетики, хотя с этим и можно смириться».

Patek Philippe – одна из старейших мануфактур в Женеве, основанная в 1839 году. Компания разрабатывает и выпускает часовые механизмы, известные на весь мир. Одним из важных изобретений бренда стало создание в 1925 году механизма с функцией вечного календаря. Бренд одним из первых стал использовать драгоценные металлы и нержавеющую сталь для изготовления корпусов и браслетов. В 2014 году ручные часы Patek Philippe Supercomplication были проданы за рекордные 24 миллиона долларов. В 2017 году бренд отмечает 20-летие спортивной модели Aquanaut, которая изначально выпускалась в корпусе из нержавеющей стали с черным циферблатом. Юбилейная модель этого года (5168G) имеет голубой циферблат и корпус из белого золота. Однако больше всего мануфактура Patek Philipe известна своими часами для особых случаев. Любимая модель Уокера – часы 5970R с двойным усложнением. Их считают одними из самых лучших за всю историю бренда. В 1868 году часовой мастер из Бостона Флорентин Ариосто Джонс основал мануфактуру IWC в швейцарском Шаффхаузене, объединив новые технологии, швейцарское мастерство и гидроэнергетику близлежащего Рейна. Спустя 150 лет наручные часы IWC не утратили утонченную эстетику, как, впрочем, и своих звездных почитателей. В основу компании положена концепция часовых «семейств»; Pilot’s, Portugieser, Ingenier, Aquatimer, Da Vinci и Portofino – всегда считались классикой, в то время как Grande Complication и коллекция IWC Vintage – рассчитаны на особую клиентуру. В 2017 году IWC перевыпустил коллекцию Da Vinci, которая впервые появилась в 1980-х годах, специально для женской аудитории марки. «Мы стараемся познакомить с нашей продукцией все большее число женщин, на долю которых приходится значительная часть часовых

энтузиастов», – комментирует Франциска Гселл, главный маркетолог IWC. IWC – далеко не единственная часовая мануфактура, желающая привлечь больше покупательниц. Omega выпускает часы с 1890-х годов, и в 2017 бренд представил новую женскую коллекцию Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Chronometer, а также серию ювелирных украшений Ladymatic, основанную на классической модели часов Omega Ladymatic. Кроме того, в 2017 году исполняется 60 лет с даты выпуска хронографа Omega Speedmaster. Их носил астронавт Базз Олдрин во время высадки на Луну в 1969 году, поэтому дизайн этих часов знают во всем мире. В честь юбилея компания Omega выпустила памятные Speedmaster с пропорциями, идентичными оригинальной модели 1957 года. И хотя часы заметно усовершенствовали (калибр хронографа – 1861, вместо оригинального 321, а радиоактивную подсветку заменила заменила похожая по цвету – SuperLuminova), модель отдает должное

изначальному дизайну и говорит о растущей популярности винтажного дизайна. В то время как тенденции меняются и развиваются, выбор конкретной модели в конечном счете зависит от индивидуального вкуса. Для Уокера все решают усложнения: «На турбийон можно смотреть часами, ну а вечный календарь – это настоящее чудо математической и инженерной мысли». Швейцарские мануфактуры предлагают изделия высочайшего уровня мастерства, но только будущий владелец может решить, что для него важнее – редкая функция или неповторимая эстетика.
