IN NUVO

Patek Philippe has created a watch lover’s nirvana with its latest and greatest Grand Exhibition, which runs July 13 through 23 at Cipriani 42nd Street in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.

For much of mechanical horology’s history, slimness in a watch was not only aesthetically preferable, it was a clear sign of superior talent in watchmaking.

FROM THE ARCHIVE: The pocket watch invites the modern man to embrace its legend.

On November 7, the sixth biennial Only Watch auction will take place to raise money for the Monaco Association Against Muscular Dystrophy.

In Monaco’s Only Watch Auction, watch manufacturers bring out their best in hopes of fetching the highest prices—for a good cause.
