BASELWORLD 2018:

MeisterSinger Introduces its First Astronomical Watch

Baselworld 2018:

Grand Seiko Announces a New Caliber and Multiple New Watches

Ferdinand Berthoud Looks Into the Past to Introduce a New Regulator Watch

It’s only been a few years since the Ferdinand Berthoud marque was resurrected by the Chopard Group but there’s no doubt that it has been extraordinarily impactful during that time.
