CELLINI HOSTS WATCHMAKERS IN NYC
At Cellini’s Meet the Watchmakers event two days in October, the New
York retailer hosted appearances by seven of today’s top watchmakers.
Bart and Tim Grönefeld were special guests during both days of
the event. He was joined one day by Denis Flageollet of De Bethune
and Stephen Forsey of Greubel Forsey. HYT opted to unveil the world
premiere movement designed by award-winning watchmaker Eric
Coudray. The second day of the show included Felix Baumgartner
of Urwerk, Romain Gauthier and Kari Voutilainen. Visitors viewed
and tried on many rarely seen watches, including the Greubel Forsey
Double Tourbillon 30° Technique in blue ceramic, Urwerk’s UR-100
SpaceTime, Grönefeld’s 1941 Decennium Tourbillon, De Bethune’s DB25
Starry Varius Tourbillon and Voutilainen’s 28ti.
In addition, a selection of watches pre-selected for the 2019 Grand
Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève were on display both days. Nominated
watches from Bulgari, Grönefeld, Laurent Ferrier, Ressence, Ulysse
Nardin, Voutilainen and Zenith will be shown, along with a selection of
past GPHG winners.
