Swiss Prestige Ltd. is established in 1988 by Emil J.F. Klingelfuss and Jean-Claude Biver with the purpose of representing Swiss watch manufacturers in Asia. From the very beginning Swiss Prestige specialised itself in marketing and distribution of mechanical Swiss watches. Blancpain and Oris were amongst the first brands Swiss Prestige helped to build up in various countries across Asia.

Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been working together for nearly 20 years in a relationship founded on their shared technical creativity and quest for perfection.
In 1999 they began working on a new generation of tourbillon specifically designed to improve the timekeeping of the mechanical watch. Four years later they unveiled "Greubel Forsey" and stunned horological aficionados with their innovative Double Tourbillon 30°, a timepiece clearly demonstrating their twin goals of innovation and excellence.
Robert and Stephen continue to build on their deep traditional knowledge gained with four decades of combined experience in high-end complicated timepieces, by inventing and developing technically valid horological complications to rigorous aesthetic principles.

“源自英国的瑞士制表工艺”
Arnold & Son 雅诺表的名字源自十八世纪的英国制表师约翰·雅诺( John Arnold ),后者以其在航海精密时计( marine chronometer )上的非凡创造力和超卓贡献而闻名。雅诺表延续其光辉传统,致力探索以当代方法演绎传统制表工艺。
雅诺表的制表厂扎根于瑞士制表业摇篮——拉绍德封( La Chaux-de-Fonds ),所有时计——包括复杂机芯——都是由内部研发,并推出了多个大受欢迎的系列,如结构独特的 Time Pyramid 、机芯经彻底镂通的 Nebula 、有着市面上最大的月相显示之一的 HM Perpetual Moon ,又或是立体感令人赞叹的世界时间表系列 Globetrotter。
约翰·雅诺 (1736 – 1799)
出生于康瓦尔郡的约翰·雅诺( John Arnold )于十九岁时离开英国前往荷兰,学会一口流利德语后回到伦敦。这点也令他在乔治三世的宫中备受重用,雅诺向这位来自汉诺威王朝的国王献上了一枚戒指表,是史上最细小的半刻问表。
约翰·雅诺是当时最具创新力的制表师之一,手握多项专利,包括棘爪式擒纵、双层金属摆轮和筒形游丝;他也是其时代多项重大事件的核心人物,如精准测量船舶海上经度的经度奖,并多次赢得英国经度委员会的资助和奖项。
天文学可说是一种最直接和最简单的时间概念,是荷兰著名制表师Christiaan van der Klaauw的灵感来源。 Christiaan van der Klaauw 是享有盛誉的 AHCI 的荣誉会员,于 1974 年创立了公司 - Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches。Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches 是世界上唯一一家完全致力于设计和生产独家手工制作的天文手表的工坊。
2009年,Christiaan van der Klaauw的新纪元开始了。 他交棒给荷兰设计师兼亲密的朋友Daniel Reintjes先生。 他们认识多年,Daniel极之尊敬这位制表师,曾邀Christiaan为其品牌"Dark Rush"制作腕表。Daniel与Maurice Doppert 和 Maria Reintjes van Laar 加入公司成为股东并开始重新为品牌定位。新董事为Christiaan Van Der Klaauw设计了新Logo,并确立了天文腕表的主轴,塑造明确的品牌形象,并推出华丽的天文复杂功能的新品。新方立即带领品牌获得了 2011 年的“年度手表奖”以及 2012 年、2014 年和2016年获得享有盛誉的欧洲年度手表奖。
CVDK 手表的主要特点是天文复杂功能。每款手表都有一个或多个源自天文学的复杂功能。所有手表都采用相同的圆形表壳设计。品牌腕表设计独特,小时刻度位彷佛在地平线之上,而12 点钟位置有 12 个爪子(Klaauw = 爪子)的标志,有如正午的耀眼的太阳。品牌对腕表的细节都一丝不苟,每枚精美的腕表皆以精细和高质素的的材料制作。以品牌的年产量,每只手表说是限量版。因此,每枚腕表都有编号。
De Bethune品牌创立于2002年,是一个瑞士独立高级制表品牌,并完全自主生产研发所有零件。
自创立以来,De Bethune已研发出27款机芯,创造出30次的世界首创,申请注册了多个专利,推出了约150款的耳环,并多次夺下钟表界奖,包括在2011年年,2014年与2018年的「放置钟表大赏」,分别夺得年度最佳手表,最佳计时码表与最佳精准复杂表。
通过其创作,De Bethune延续了18世纪伟大制表大师的作品,他们追求以完美的美学为基础,去追求精准的时间测量。对传统作以现代的诠释,利用最先进的科学技术,重新制定工艺及提供前所未有的美学概念。
表壳的纯正风格,紧致的线条和精美的外观为对极致美学不懈追求的见证,体现了De Bethune对当代制表艺术的诠释。
De Bethune在塑造二十一世纪制表工艺的同时,秉承着坚固扎根于历史,坚决展望未来的优良传统,追求将艺术与科学做有效结合的方法。
