Request consultationWelcome to the Horology Hub, the journal of the Maison. Expert guides, news and insights into the world of Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Cartier.
From buying advice and care instructions to watchmaking stories. Our watchmakers and dealers share their knowledge from the workshop: value development, authentication, the background to great references.
We don't write about every new presentation. What you read here comes from our atelier in Munich, from the workshop, the consultation appointment, the purchase meeting. Our own experiences, our own observations, our own recommendations, written by the people who work with these watches every day.
Whether you are looking for your first Lady-Datejust, want to understand your Submariner better or simply enjoy the stories behind the great manufactures. The Horology Hub will accompany you. Read up. Write to us with a question. We will answer personally, usually within an hour.
