GMT No 91- Spring 2024

Since the year 2000

If only all the complications our planet is currently encountering were as beautiful as those that watchmakers have been
tirelessly creating for centuries, we’d all be on cloud nine. This reading experience is thus intended as a light-hearted
interlude, somewhat like a magic carpet taking the form of this magazine and introducing you to a wonderful world of
creativity, passion and talent. The dream is within reach and can indeed be leafed through. For 25 years, GMT has been defending the values of fine watchmaking with a fervor constantly fueled by the imagination and expertise of watchmakers from brands both large and small. There have never been so many of them exhibiting at Watches and
Wonders as well as at Time to Watches, the trade show for start-ups. Does this mean fresh momentum sufficiently attractive to boost end-customer visits to boutiques? Within an ailing watch industry, most brands are banking on the positive effects of new releases and we present 40 of them, along with the trends observed at the previews in which our
editors took part. The same is true of LVMH Watch Week, on which we also report in this issue. Innovation remains a must in watchmaking, as demonstrated by Audemars Piguet and Chanel, each unveiling their blue ceramic watches.
Warm, vivid colors have been the hallmark of H. Moser & Cie. dials since its revival, which continues to motivate us to feature them on our spring cover. Sincere thanks to Jérôme Lambert, who chose to grant GMT his first interview as CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre, perhaps as a birthday present? The Manufacture in Le Sentier is also on the program of the second
edition of the GMT Watch Safari slated for the end of October. We hope that by autumn the economic climate will be more conducive to festivities, as we look forward to celebrating this quarter-century with our readers and the entire watchmaking community.
