Foversta's report from the 2009 Salon du Collectionneur at the Grand Palais in Paris offers a unique glimpse into a luxury watch exhibition from over a decade ago. This article highlights the presence of several Richemont Group brands, providing a historical perspective on their offerings and booth presentations at a significant collector's event. Foversta's detailed photo essay captures the essence of the show, making it a valuable resource for understanding the watch landscape of that era.
As always, I was perfectly welcome by the Lange team (big thank to Gaetan!). The surprise was the presence of a stunning WG Tourbillon Pour le Mérite. The Lange booth: WG Tourbillon PLM: Did you say "Chaîne & fusée" ? Richard Lange PLM: The new PG Lange 31 days: The Platinum one: WG Zeitwerk: PG Zeitwerk: We appreciated the presence of an engraver from Helmut Wagner's team: Fr.Xavier
Thanks to Josephine, I had the opportunity to handle the 4 watches of the latest set of the Masques collection. Believe me, it is very difficult to shoot them. The Vacheron booth: The Masques: A few more pics: Fr.Xavier
I only shot one Panerai, the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT + the Radiomir Titanium (Minerva caliber) of our friend Patrick: This Radiomir Titanium is gorgeous... Fr.Xavier
Thanks to Franck, I had the opportunity to see the two big novelties from Piaget: The Moonphase and the Regulateur. I already presented these watches in my SIHH report but it is a pleasure to shoot them again... especially the WG version of the Moonphase. The watch is large (46mm) but balanced. One of the most impressive moonphases of the industry. Fr.Xavier
and ofcourse THANK YOU for the great report !
Which watch houses the caseback pictured in your last photo? The engraving is gorgeous! That WG Zeitwerk looks fantastic on your wrist, FX! Hmm...a sign of things to come for your collection? Cheers, Daos
