Since 1967, the Cartier Crash has remained one of the most recognizable and unconventional watch designs ever created.

From its origins in London under Jean-Jacques Cartier to the latest Cartier Privé skeleton edition, the Crash continues to fascinate collectors through its distorted case, daring proportions, and unmistakable identity.

The 2026 version pushes the concept even further with a fully skeletonized “caliber-dial” structure and a redesigned crown position, while preserving the spirit of the original icon.

Last night saw the third Salon Worldtempus at the Chez Calvin restaurant in Eaux-Vives, where deputy Editor in chief Anders Modig Davin talked with TAG Heuer’s master watchmaker Carole Kasapi, who now goes by the title Haute Horlogerie Watches & Movements Strategy Director. In their conversation about innovations, sensibility, and complications, with plenty of questions from the audience, both recent products and human emotions were touched upon.

In an opinion editorial for WorldTempus published on May 1, Ms. Forestier argued that watch complications should be categorized “I think we should classify them by using seven pillars. This would clarify for the consumers what they are buying into. Because there will always be marketing people saying things are complex when they are not,” she asked rhetorically.

Around 35 people from Geneva, Valée de Joux, Bern, and neighboring France joined the event where Chez Calvin’s friendly staff offered a generous apéro riche paired with exquisite wines from Domaine de Beauvent in Bernex and Gamay from La Gara in Jussy – both vineyards less than 10 kilometers from the restaurant. Despite the rainy Tuesday, the evening had a summery vibe since the restaurant last week revamped itself for its summer theme “Chez Calvin by the sea”.

For its 50th anniversary, Patek Philippe delivers a collection that feels familiar… yet deliberately restrained.

Between clean dials, subtle variations, and even a Nautilus desk clock, the celebration avoids excess. But the real message lies beyond the Nautilus itself.

With the introduction of the Cubitus, the Maison signals a clear shift, redefining its vision of the modern sports watch and quietly pointing toward the future.

With the Joia, Baume & Mercier returns to balanced proportions and a clean, refined design inspired by the 1980s.

A 28 mm case, no lugs, and a seamless bracelet give it a true jewelry-like identity, while practical features like interchangeable straps and a quartz movement keep it accessible.

From everyday wear to more formal settings, Joia reflects a measured approach: subtle, versatile, and designed to remain relevant over time.
