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.

Other exclusive brands Swiss Prestige helped to establish in Asia in the past are amongst others Corum, Hublot, Gerald Genta and Ulysse Nardin.
Today the company is firmly established as a leading distributor of fine Swiss watches throughout Asia. Through its head office and subsidiaries, Swiss Prestige represents well-known Swiss watch brands in Hong Ko...
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.
"We are sculptors of time, choreographers of the passing hours and architects of watch movement - with a ...

“源自英國的瑞士製錶工藝”
Arnold & Son 的名字源自十八世紀的英國製錶師約翰·亞諾( John Arnold ),後者以其在航海精密時計( marine chronometer )上的非凡創造力和超卓貢獻而聞名。 Arnold & Son 延續其光輝傳統,致力探索以當代方法演繹傳統製錶工藝。
Arnold & Son 的製錶廠扎根於瑞士製錶業搖籃——拉紹德封( La Chaux-de-Fonds ),所有時計——包括複雜機芯——都是由內部研發,並推出了多個大受歡迎的系列,如結構獨特的 Time Pyramid 、機芯經徹底鏤通的 Nebula 、有着市面上最大的月相顯示之一的 HM Perpetual Moon ,又或是立體感令人讚嘆的世界時間錶系列 Globetrotter。
約翰・亞諾 (1736 – 1799)
出生於康瓦爾郡的約翰·亞諾( John Arnold )於十九歲時離開英國前往荷蘭,學會一口流利德語後回到倫敦。這點也令他在喬治三世的宮中備受重用,亞諾向這位來自漢諾威王朝的國王獻上了一枚戒指錶,是史上最細小的半刻問錶。
約翰·亞諾是當時最具創新力的製錶師之一,手握多項專利,包括棘爪式擒縱、雙層金屬擺輪和筒形游絲;他也是其時代多項重大事件的核心人物,如精準測量船舶海上經度的經度獎,並多次贏得英國經度委員會的資助和奬項。
天文學可說是一種最直接和最簡單的時間概念,是荷蘭著名製表師Christiaan van der Klaauw的靈感來源。 Christiaan van der Klaauw 是享有盛譽的 AHCI 的榮譽會員,於 1974 年創立了公司 - Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches。Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches 是世界上唯一一家完全致力於設計和生產獨家手工製作的天文手錶的工坊。
2009年,Christiaan van der Klaauw的新紀元開始了。 他交棒給荷蘭設計師兼親密的朋友Daniel Reintjes先生。 他們認識多年,Daniel極之尊敬這位製錶師,曾邀Christiaan為其品牌"Dark Rush"製作腕錶。Daniel與Maurice Doppert 和 Maria Reintjes van Laar 加入公司成為股東並開始重新為品牌定位。新董事為Christiaan Van Der Klaauw設計了新Logo,並確立了天文腕錶的主軸,塑造明確的品牌形象,並推出華麗的天文複雜功能的新品。新方立即帶領品牌獲得了 2011 年的“年度手錶獎”以及 2012 年、2014 年和2016年獲得享有盛譽的歐洲年度手錶獎。
CVDK 手錶的主要特點是天文複雜功能。每款手錶都有一個或多個源自天文學的複雜功能。所有手錶都採用相同的圓形錶殼設計。品牌腕錶設計獨特,小時刻度位彷彿在地平線之上,而12 點鐘位置有 12 個爪子(Klaauw = 爪子)的標誌,有如正午的耀眼的太陽。品牌對腕錶的細節都一絲不苟,每枚精美的腕錶皆以精細和高質素的的材料製作。以品牌的年產量,每隻手錶說是限量版。因此,每枚腕錶都有編號。
De Bethune品牌創立於2002年,是一個瑞士獨立高級製錶品牌,並完全自主生產研發所有零件。
自創立以來,De Bethune已研發出27款機芯,創造出30多次的世界首創,申請註冊了多項專利,推出了約150款的腕錶,並多次奪下鐘錶界大獎,包括在2011年、2014年與2018年的「日內瓦鐘錶大賞」,分別奪得年度最佳腕錶、最佳計時碼錶與最佳精準複雜錶。
通過其創作,De Bethune延續了18世紀偉大製錶大師的作品,他們追求以完美的美學為基礎,去追求精準的時間測量。對傳統作以現代的詮釋,利用最先進的科學技術,重新制定工藝及提供前所未有的美學概念。
不做更多,而是做到最好; 汲取過去的靈感,重新創造,並與其他知識領域串起連結:這是指導De Bethune開發鐘錶機制和表達藝術創造力的原則。錶殼的純正風格,緊緻的線條和精美的外觀為對極致美學不懈追求的見證,體現了De Bethune對當代製錶藝術的詮釋。
De Bethune在塑造二十一世紀製錶工藝的同時,秉承著牢固紮根於歷史,堅決展望未來的優良傳統,追求將藝術與科學做有效結合的方法。
