this season’s cover for
SHOP Switzerland. His
bold compositions celebrate
mechanical detail, making
him the perfect choice for this
illustration, which is inspired
by our feature on page 28
about how Switzerland’s
traditional fne watchmakers
are using smart technology.
The illustration shows a
hybrid watch which is both
classic and cutting-edge,
with an elegant, conventional
face ofset by the bright,
geometrical shapes of hi-
tech workings. Bratislav
Milenkovic’s clever, colourful
artwork has previously been
commissioned by the New

depending on the occasion. The magical effect of the feathers suggests the flamboyance of the Venice carnival, and the intricate design is entirely in keeping with the skilled work of watchmaker Georges Édouard Piaget, who founded Piaget on his family farm in the small Swiss village of La Côte-aux-Fées in 1874. fmPiaget Serenissima cuff, CHF360,759, Piaget, 40 rue du Rhône, 1204 Geneva, +41 (0)22 817 0200, piaget.com

IN FINE FEATHER
Swiss heritage brand Piaget is making waves with one of its latest offerings, a cuff bracelet in striking shades of blue and green. The white gold cuff features rare feathers as well as emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. It is called Serenissima, which means ‘the most serene’ and is a term sometimes applied to Venice, whose carnival helped inspire the bracelet. The design is particularly clever: the feathers can be removed so that the cuff can be worn two ways,

HANDCRAFTED HAVEN
Fabrikat in Zürich is a state-of-the-art store filled with beautifully crafted yet practical items that range from stationery to homeware and travel goods. It has been devised by Regina Schibli and Donovan Gregory, the team behind the creative agency Designers’ Club and the unconventional art space The Trace Gallery. All the furnishings have been especially made
for the space, and the attention to detail in the handcrafted wooden cabinets is particularly impressive. Yet what really sets Fabrikat apart is the unusual and exciting produce, from prints and rolls of paper to handmade stools. Even if you visit with just one item in mind you’ll probably leave with a suitcase-full. rdFabrikat, Militärstrasse 76, 8004 Zürich, +41 (0)44 542 4644, fabrikat.ch
YOU’RE INVITED
After popping up in temporary venues in Berlin and Zürich, Qwstion Invites now has a permanent residence in Zürich. The new space is more than just a store: it provides young designers with a platform to showcase their products. Zürich native Damian Fopp is the first lucky participant in this scheme. His designs will be seen alongside the studio’s own collections and other selected brands ‒ for spring/summer 2016 these include Hanna Kawasaki and Clod Bernegger. rdQwstion Invites, Badenerstrasse 156, 8004 Zürich, +41 (0)43 535 2461, qwstion.com

MOLESKINE’S NEW DEPARTURE
Luxury stationery brand Moleskine made its café debut in late 2015 at Geneva Airport. The idea of travel is integral to the brand, so this is an ideal location. Developed in partnership with Caviar House Airport Premium, Moleskine Café offers freshly prepared food as well as notebooks, pens, pencils and bags. There’s an arty feel, too, with artworks on display and with cups decorated by Carlo Stanga, author and illustrator of the Moleskine book I am Milan. Part boutique, part coffee house, part gallery, this is a perfect space to sit and jot down thoughts or sketches – in one of Moleskine’s striking notebooks, of course. thMoleskine Café, Geneva Airport, 1215 Geneva, +41 (0)22 717 8540, moleskine.com

BIODEGRADABLE JEANS
Freitag, the Swiss company that recycles industrial waste materials into accessories and clothes, has launched a line of five-pocket jeans. The company started in 1993 when Markus and Daniel Freitag, brothers and graphic designers, created a messenger bag made from used truck tarpaulins, discarded bicycle inner tubes and car seat belts. Today, as well as bags, Freitag produces dresses, shirts, T-shirts, and now jeans. The heavy-duty denim is made from linen and hemp which together with the yarn and lining are 100% biodegradable. Once you remove the metal buttons the jeans are naturally compostable. The E100 jeans for women and E500 men’s jeans are available in indigo blue and black, all priced at CHF240. rdFreitag, Geroldstrasse 17, 8005 Zürich, +41 (0)43 366 9520, freitag.ch
FASHIONABLE FAVOURITES
The two boutiques of luxury multibrand retailer Vestibule are favourite haunts of Zürich’s most fashionable set. Just off Bahnhofstrasse, the St Peterstrasse store offers high-end womenswear for every occasion, from casual separates to glamorous eveningwear. Founder Laurence Antiglio has a keen eye for fashion, so the store is always filled with must-have items. Brands include Chloé, Isabel Marant, Golden Goose, Forte-Forte, Sonia Rykiel and 3.1 Phillip Lim. The success of the first boutique led Antiglio to open a second. Set on Seefeldstrasse, this store stocks designer items and is also home to Minibule, an equally well-curated selection of children’s clothing. Vestibule is renowned for its great personal service, so don’t hesitate to speak to the friendly staff should you need any assistance. hlVestibule, St Peterstrasse 20, 8001 Zürich, +41 (0)44 260 1331; Seefeldstrasse 56, 8008 Zürich, +41 (0)44 260 1320, vestibule.ch

KEEPING TIME
The new Roger Dubuis shop in Geneva is an exciting addition to the company’s portfolio of stores. It is situated on the city’s historic place de la Fusterie, a location that is of special significance to the luxury watch manufacturer as it was near here that founder Roger Dubuis started his watchmaking career. The new shop has been designed to resemble a jewellery box. Its décor in bronze, black and red has been carefully chosen to resonate with shades intrinsically linked to the Roger Dubuis world. As in all Roger Dubuis boutiques, there is a library where customers can relax and learn more about this striking brand. They can also arrange visits to the factory, which is only 15 minutes’ drive from the store. thRoger Dubuis, 5 place de la Fusterie, 1204 Geneva, +41 (0)22 321 2828, rogerdubuis.com

As traditional watch manufacturers experiment with smartwatch technology, Beth Druce takes a look
at cutting-edge connectivity developments in the haute horology industry
53 55

Previous page and above: Frédérique Constant Horological Smartwatch
The launch of the first Apple watch last year gave rise to an interesting question: would mechanical watchmaking
continue to dominate the world of haute horology or would the new Apple product usher in significant change? Twelve months on, the luxury watch industry shows no signs of abandoning its mechanical roots, yet a few smartwatches have been released by Swiss watch houses and they are proof that technology and mechanics do not have to be mutually exclusive.
In part, this has been accelerated by the creation of a horological smartwatch platform which was developed by Manufacture Modules Technologies Sàrl (MMT), a partnership between companies in Switzerland and California’s Silicon Valley. The platform enables traditional-looking watches to be developed with smartwatch technology; they don’t have digital screens or charging cables and so they retain their classic, refined aesthetic. MMT has facilitated smartwatch technology for a range of Swiss brands including Mondaine and Frédérique Constant.
The latter is renowned for its traditional approach to watchmaking ‒ yet was one of the first Swiss watch brands to release a smartwatch.
Called the Horological Smartwatch, the Frédérique Constant timepiece is available in a stainless steel or rose gold-plated case. It has a galvanised black or silver dial and diamond-cut hands that display information analogically. It connects to a smartphone but can also function autonomously with its sensors, and its sophisticated attributes include tracking sleep patterns and physical activity. The MMT technology it uses has a low-power bonus: the battery will function for more than two years before needing to be charged.
Breitling also offers an impressive new product. Developed, assembled and finished in Switzerland, the Exospace B55 has evolved from the Breitling Cockpit 50. It runs on Breitling’s SuperQuartz movement and has an analogue display of the time as well as two additional displays on the dial. Designed for serious use by pilots, it includes features such as chrono flight time logs. It is made from

titanium and has a rotating bezel with rider tabs that act as reference points to mark important deadlines, and an eye-catching two-tone rubber strap. As timepiece reporter Ariel Adams noted on A Blog to Watch, it is the connectivity that provides the user appeal. ‘When it comes to complex analogue digital watches … using the functions to their fullest extent requires a bit of a learning curve. Breitling has taken a major and very practical step in allowing your phone to simplify the user experience of a complicated watch.’ For Adams, the use of new technology is more than justified.
The Tag Heuer Connected is Tag Heuer’s first smartwatch. It comes with a Google-powered operating system and at 46mm in diameter it looks very similar to the brand’s mechanical Carerra. Made from grade two titanium and with a titanium deployment buckle and interchangeable rubber strap, it has one crown that acts as the control centre. It features three Tag Heuer faces: a chronograph, a three-hander and a GMT. The chronograph

Above (from left): H Moser & Cie Swiss Alp watch; Bulgari Diagono Magnesium Concept
is operated by tapping the screen, once to start or to stop, twice to reset. As a review in the online magazine Hodinkee.com pointed out, ‘it is important to note that this is not a hybrid at all, but rather a true smartwatch’. And this was reflected in the high level of publicity that surrounded its launch.
Bulgari is also looking to the connected future, having teamed up with Swiss company Wisekey, expert in near field communication (NFC), which allows phones, tablets and laptops to share data. The result is the Diagono Magnesium Concept watch; its NFC chip unlocks an application that stores vast amounts of encrypted data and can communicate with other devices. When the watch is tapped against a smartphone, the app is engaged.
With many esteemed Swiss watch brands still to explore the connected market, it is interesting to see German label Montblanc dip its toe in the water with the Timewalker Urban Estrap. A Bluetooth accessory rather than a smartwatch, it can control music, receive smart notifications as small vibrations and preview emails, all from the wrist.
The concept of a Swiss-made smartwatch marks a fork in the road for haute horology. It is a big talking point, but it is still too early to tell whether traditional watchmaking will take a different route as a result. Perhaps the
final word should be given to H Moser & Cie, whose Swiss Alp watch might not have any smartwatch functionality or connectivity, but bears a strong physical resemblance to the Apple watch, with its rectangular case, and its lugs that mimic the wire lugs of the Apple original. Luxury smartwatches might be a serious topic of conversation, but this Swiss watchmaker is settling for a light-hearted approach
Smartwatches released by luxury Swiss watch houses are proof that technology and mechanics do not have to be mutually exclusive

CAFÉ SOCIETYSlow coffee is becoming increasingly popular in Switzerland, and across the country piquant blends are being served by a growing number of relaxing, independent cafés. Dominique Fenn takes her pick of the best
Switzerland is a nation of coffee enthusiasts. On average each resident drinks about 1,200 cups of coffee a year, making the country the third largest consumer of the drink in Europe, after Finland and Norway. It’s no coincidence that Switzerland is home to Nespresso, whose headquarters are in Lausanne.
Offsetting such big business is the growing popularity of café culture in Switzerland. Traditionally the Swiss drink coffee at home rather than in bars, as their neighbours in Italy do. But a new breed of coffee purveyors has been gently changing the nation’s habits. These small-scale speciality companies are frequently cafés, roasteries and shops combined. They’re keen proponents of the growing trend of slow coffee, which celebrates freshness, sustainability and quality.
Generally the Swiss like strong, robust brews. Dark roast espresso and kaffee crème, a long espresso-based drink with milk, remain the most popular coffee beverages. Yet the new wave of specialists is increasingly introducing greater subtlety of flavours from a wide choice of beans and blends. From Bern and Basel to Geneva and Zürich, their chic yet laid-back cafés are the perfect places in which to savour the slow coffee trend.

This bright, retro-stylish café offers a great choice of innovative coffee-making methods, including super-fast Aeropress and cold brews, for which grounds are steeped in room temperature water for a good 24 hours. Also on the drinks menu is Hario filter coffee, the key for this Japanese technique being to pour the beverage very slowly. Sustainability and flavour are of prime importance: beans are carefully sourced and the food menu emphasises local organic produce. Breakfast is a feast of cold meats, cheese, muesli, croissants and more, and is served all day. Café Frühling, Klybeckstrasse 69, 4057 Basel, +41 (0)61 544 8038, cafe-fruehling.chP

Café Noir is rated by locals as one of Zürich’s best places for coffee, so it’s often crowded. Be prepared to queue, but rest assured it will be worth the wait. This is an intimate space, seating about 12 people inside and with a few tables outside on a leafy terrace. Furnishings are shabby-chic and the laid-back atmosphere is often enhanced by background jazz music. A small and enticing selection of cakes and pastries is on offer to anyone who likes to sip their brew alongside something sweet, and there’s also a little shop section where you can buy beans to take away. Roasting takes place here several times a week and customers are welcome to watch the process. Café Noir, Neugasse 33, 8005 Zürich, +41 (0)43 535 4677, cafe-noir.ch

Locals say that a visit to Bern would be a wasted trip if you fail to take in Adrianos. By day this is a buzzing café, proud of its reputation for offering the best coffee in town. In the evening it also becomes a cocktail venue and bar, serving beer from its own microbrewery. The owners frequently travel far and wide to research trends in coffee, and they are steadfast
exponents of fair trade. Some pioneering techniques are used here, with one of the inhouse roasts cold-pressed overnight. Several blends are available to take away as perfect souvenirs of a break in Bern. Adrianos, Theaterplatz 2, 3011 Bern, +41 (0)31 318 8831, adrianos.ch

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОДклассическую эстетику в силу отсутствия цифровых экранов или зарядных устройств. Клиентами MMT уже стали многие швейцарские бренды, включая Mondaine и Frederique Constant.
Frederique Constant считается традиционалистом в индустрии, однако именно он первым в Швейцарии выпустил умные часы. Модель называется Horological Smartwatch и доступна в корпусе из нержавеющей стали или с розовой позолотой. Гальванический черный или серебряный циферблат и изящные стрелки показывают время привычным аналоговым способом. Эти часы могут подключиться к смартфону, а могут работать автономно: для этого они оснащены разнообразными сенсорами, в том числе – для отслеживания ритмов сна и физической активности. Еще одним преимуществом встроенной технологии MMT можно назвать низкое потребление энергии: батарейка будет работать без подзарядки более двух лет.
Интересный новый продукт представляет Breitling. Модель Exospace B55 создана на базе Breitling Cockpit 50 и полностью прорабатывается и собирается в Швейцарии. В основе часов – фирменный механизм SuperQuartz. Они оснащены аналоговым циферблатом, а также еще двумя дисплеями. Поскольку эти часы разработаны для серьезного использования пилотами, они способны фиксировать хронологию полета и выполнять другие сложные функции. Их корпус сделан из титана, ремешок – из двухцветной яркой резины, а вращающийся безель со специальными отметками призван напоминать о важных дедлайнах.
Журналист, освещающий тему часов, Ариэль Адамс отметил в публикации для A Blog to Watch, что возможность подключаться к другим устройствам очень привлекательна для пользователя: «Когда мы имеем в виду сложные часы, соединяющие аналоговые и цифровые технологии, то необходимо время и усилия для полного освоения всех функций.

Бет Дрюс рассказывает о новых моделях часов, в которых соединяются новые умные технологии и высокое часовое искусство
Появление первых часов Apple в прошлом году спровоцировало бурные дискуссии: будет ли механика по-прежнему считаться вершиной часового искусства или новый продукт Apple предвещает революцию в этой сфере? Однако прошло двенадцать месяцев, а индустрия так и не утратила интереса к механизмам. Изменение курса проявилось только в том, что некоторые швейцарские компании представили собственные умные часы, чем доказали, что новые технологии и классические механизмы вовсе не исключают друг друга.
Большую роль сыграло появление умной часовой платформы Manufacture Modules Technologies Sàrl (MMT) – совместного проекта компаний Швейцарии и калифорнийской Силиконовой долины. Эта платформа позволяет дополнять традиционные наручные часы новейшими технологиями, сохраняя при этом

globalblue.com
Breitling сделал важный и практичный шаг: он позволил вашему телефону помочь вам использовать сложные часы». С точки зрения Адамса, такое использование новой технологии более, чем оправдано. Tag Heuer Connected – это первые умные часы бренда
Tag Heuer. Они оснащены операционной системой, которую поддерживает Google и очень похожи на механическую модель Carerra с диаметром циферблата 46 мм. Их корпус выполнен из титана второй категории, сменный ремешок резины закрепляется титановой пряжкой. У них одна заводная головка, которая служит целым центром управления. На дисплее отображается три циферблата Tag Heuer: циферблат хронографа, циферблат с тремя стрелками и циферблат GMT (среднее время по Гринвичу). Хронограф управляется нажатием на экран: один раз – старт или стоп, дважды – сброс. Как отмечено в обзоре в онлайн-журнале Hodinkee.com, «это не гибрид, а, скорее, по-настоящему умные часы». И эта мысль повторялась в многочисленных публикациях, сопровождавших презентацию модели.
Bulgari также интересуется технологиями будущего и работает над новинками совместно с швейцарской компанией Wisekey, которая занимается коммуникациями ближайшей зоны (NFC) и совместной работой телефона, планшета и ноутбука. Плодом их партнерства стали часы Diagono Magnesium Concept: встроенный в них чип NFC запускает приложение с огромным количеством зашифрованных данных и может обмениваться ими с другими устройствами. Приложение активируется нажатием на часы по близости от смартфона.
Параллельно с многими швейцарскими брендами рынок умных часов прощупывает и немецкий бренд Montblanc. Его часы Timewalker Urban способны через Bluetooth управлять музыкальным проигрывателем, получать смарт-уведомления в виде небольших вибраций и просматривать почту – и все это с вашего запястья.
Этот этап в развитии швейцарский умных часов знаменует развилку в истории
высокого часового искусства. Но пока еще слишком рано говорить о том, насколько кардинально преобразится эта индустрия с большой историей. Не исключено, что финальное слово будет за H Moser & Cie. Часы этого бренда Swiss Alp не обладают умным функционалом и не подсоединяются к другим устройствам. Однако они внешне очень похожи на часы Apple: тот же прямоугольный корпус и часовые ушки, которые повторяют ушки модели Apple. Умные часы могут быть важной темой для дискуссий, но H Moser & Cie в этом обсуждении задает собственный тон.

فيما يختبر صناع الساعات التقليدية تكنولوجيا الساعات الذكية، تلقي Beth Druce نظرة على تطورات
التصالت المبتكرة في مجال الساعات الفاخرة
مع إطلق أول ساعة Apple السنة الماضية طرح سؤال مثيرللهتمام: هل ستستمر صناعة الساعات الميكانيكية بالسيطرة على عالم الساعات الفاخرة أم سيحدث منتج Apple الجديد
تغييرا ملحوظا؟ اليوم وبعد مرور 12 شهرا، لم يظهر قطاع الساعات الفاخرة أي إشارة تفيد بتخليه عن جذوره الميكانيكية،
بل أطلقت بعض دور الساعات السويسرية بضع ساعات ذكية وتبرهن أنه من غير الضروري أن تكون صناعة الساعات ميكانية
أو ذكية حصرا.وما شجع هذه النزعة، جزئيا، هو منصة الساعات التقليدية
Manufacture Modules الذكية المبتكرة من قبل وهي شراكة بين شركات في
سويسرا وSilicon Valley في كاليفورنيا. تتيح المنصة تزويد ساعات تقليدية بتكنولوجيا الساعات الذكية؛ وبما أنها ل تتمتع
بشاشات رقمية ول بأسلك شحن، تحافظ على مظهرها الكلسيكي المتقن. يسرت MMT تكنولوجيا الساعات الذكية لمجموعة من
Mondaine العلمات التجارية السويسرية ومنهاوFrederique Constant. وبالرغم من شهرة الخيرة بمقاربتها التقليدية إلى صناعة الساعات، كانت من أوائل
العلمات السويسرية التي أطلقت ساعة ذكية.Horlogical Smartwatch هو إسم ساعة
Frederique Constant وتتوافر بغطاء من الفولذ غير
اللصق أو المطلي بالذهب الزهري. تتمتع بمينا سوداء أو فضية مغلفنة وعقارب مقطوعة بالماس. تتصل بهاتف ذكي لكن
بإمكانها العمل مستقلة من خلل حساساتها وتتمتع بخصائص مبتكرة تشمل تعقب أنماط النوم والنشاط الجسدي. وتتميز تكنولوجيا MMT التي تستخدمها باستهلك بسيط للطاقة؛
بالتالي يمكن استخدام البطارية لما يزيد عن سنتين قبل الحاجة إلى شحنها.
كما تقدم Breitling منتجا جديدا مثيرا للهتمام. صممت ساعة Exospace B55 وجمعت وأنجزت في سويسرا وهي
النموذج المطور عن Breitling Cockpit 50. تعمل بموجب آلية SuperQuartz من Breitling وتشير إلى الوقت من خلل العقارب بالضافة إلى نموذجي عرض آخرين في المينا.
ارين، تشمل خصائص على سبيل سجلت وبما أنها مصممة للطيوقت خاصة بالرحلت الجوية. تصنع من التيتانيوم وتتمتع بقرص
قابل للبرم، يحوي نقاط بارزة تستخدم كنقاط مرجعية للشارة إلى المهل الزمنة المهمة بالضافة إلى سوار مطاطي من لونين
A في Ariel Adams ملفتين للنظار. وبحسب ما ذكر المدونBlog to Watch، التصال هو الذي يجذب المستخدم إلى هذه
الساعة. يقول: "لستخدام كافة خصائص الساعات الرقمية المعقدة
Breitling ذات العقارب، تحتاج لبعض الوقت. لذا قامتبخطوة كبيرة وعملية من خلل ابتكار طريقة يسهل فيها
هاتفك تجربة استخدام ساعة معقدة." يعتبر Adams استخدام التكنولوجيا الحديثة أمرا مبررا للغاية.
Tag Heuer Connected هي الساعة الذكية الولى
من Tag Heuer. إنها مزودة بنظام تشغيل يعمل بواسطة Google وبما أن قطرها 46 ملم، تبدو شبيهة للغاية بساعة
Carerra الميكانيكية من العلمة أيضا. صنعت من التيتانيوم
من الدرجة الثانية وتتمتع بقفل من التيتانيوم وبسوار مطاطي قابل للتبديل بالضافة إلى تاج يستخدم كمركز تحكم. تشمل
ثلثة أوجه Tag Heuer: كرونوغراف وثلث عقارب وتوقيت غرينتش. يعمل الكرونوغراف بالنقر على الشاشة، مرة للتشغيل
أو التوقف ومرتين لعادة الضبط. ذكرت مقالة في مجلة عبر النترنت Hodinkee.com: "تجدر الشارة إلى أن هذه الساعة
ليست هجينة على الطلق، بل إنها ساعة ذكية عن حق". وظهر ذلك في التغطية العلمية الرفيعة المستوى التي رافقت إطلقها.نتيجة اهتمام Bulgari أيضا بوسائل التصال المستقبلية، تعاونت مع الشركة السويسرية Wisekey الخبيرة في اتصالت
المجال القريب )NFC( التي تتيح تشارك البيانات بين الهواتف واللواح الذكية والجهزة المحمولة. فكانت النتيجة ساعة
