welcome 

two thousand and eleven has been a very exciting year for us and we are proud to share with 

you this excitement in the collections we are showcasing at our boutiques in Portomaso and 

renovated store in Valletta. the selection of precious jewels and exclusive timepieces is one of 

the most expansive we have ever displayed. this edition of the Diamonds International times 

celebrates this broad collection as well as the imagination and astonishing ability of the master 

craftsmen behind some of the world’s most luxurious brands. 

Fine Jewellery - the key looks in the jewellery design for 2012 rely on the fancy coloured 

stones. Deceptively complicated settings are used to create maximum luminosity and every 

imaginable shade makes an appearance from lemon yellow and tangerine to violet, pink and 

black. Classic white diamonds remain a perennial favourite, in ever more flamboyant creations 

from the haute joaillerie houses. 

Fine Watches - In the world of business style, the new mantra has become: smarten up and 

sober up. Men’s style has straightened out and sobered-up - and with this trend has come a 

much desired return to classic design. In 2012, size still matters, but big is no longer beautiful 

- even chronos and perpetual calendars have slimmed right down. Watches have a 1930s and 

1940s style with traditional looking colours and finishes. Watches that could have been worn 

by our grand fathers have taken the world of haute horlogerie by storm. 

the financial crisis wasn’t just an end to an extended period of over-consumerism; it also 

sounded a death knell for ostentatious and complacent style, and ultimately a return to good 

taste and good value for money. Classic styles have not been so important for generations and 

the new collections reflect the return to a more subdued set of values. 

this is what the 2012 collection portrays and I encourage you to see for yourself.

April 1819. François Constantin takes responsibility for the worldwide 

business expansion of Vacheron Constantin. During a business trip to Italy, 

this visionary man coined the phrase which would become the company 

motto in a letter addressed to the manufacture: « …do better if possible, and that 

is always possible …». 

True to this motto and to the spirit that forged its history, 

Vacheron Constantin still remains committed to pushing 

the boundaries of watchmaking in order to provide its 

clients with the highest standards of technology, aesthetics 

and � nish.

look forward to two revised and one newly developed 

watch models. With the IWC-manufactured 59210-calibre

this traditional watch family impressively scales the Mount 

Olympus of haute horlogerie. 

ZENITh 

Designed for men with distinguished taste, the Zenith 

Moonphase line associates a stream-lined design and a strong 

identity; it expresses a very masculine elegance and takes its 

place in Zenith’s family of “Classical” timepieces. the ultra-thin 

automatic watch with large date and moonphase indicator 

is assembled with 228 part and 28,800 vibrations per hour 

ensuring performance, reliability and precision.

subtle design of its lugs to the clarity of its dial featuring a small 

seconds subdial.

Whether extra-slim models with manually wound or 

automatic movements or complicated watches, they are all 

true to the technical principles, the artistry and the traditional 

values of the Breguet watch. Classique wristwatches capture 

the essence of Breguet’s original features. In some models, the 

precious materials of former times and fired-enamel dials with 

arabic numerals will delight Breguet enthusiasts.

an ultra-thin ideology is at the heart of Piaget’s culture and 

history. since the ‘50s, the legendary 9P and 12P movements 

have inspired a range of calibers as thin as they are efficient.

today, majestically highlighting the refined aesthetics of the

gErALD gENTA 

Gerald Genta is one of the most important protagonists in 

the haute horlogerie. this great man was brilliant, cultured 

and a true gentleman, the traits of character that we will most 

clearly remember are the generosity, the creativity and the 

passion for horological tradition of this colourful figure. his 

visionary mind gave rise to numerous watchmaking legends, 

and he made an unequalled contribution to the field of haute 

horlogerie. Mr Genta was born in Geneva, to Italian parents. 

Mr Genta had artistic learning, earning a swiss federal diploma 

in jewellery and goldsmith training at the age of 20. Later on 

in life Genta would once again turn to painting and sculpture, 

a practice that had made a profound impact on his work with 

watch design. 

as a young man he trained as a jeweller, but it was as a creator 

in which he excelled. his mind sprouted with ideas that his 

skilled hands translated into sketches and designs that he sold 

to jewellers, and in later years, the watch industry. 

In 1970’s audemars Piguet turned to Gerald Genta to come up 

with a watch and his creation was the birth of the royal Oak. 

his death has come just a year before the 40th anniversary 

of the model that catapulted audemars Piguet to fame. his 

genius was such that in the 70’s he produced a steady stream 

of creations, occasionally shocking the industry by his daring 

association with unprecedented shapes and materials with 

complex mechanisms. Genta designed for Omega, Patek 

Philippe, IWC, universal Geneve, and many others. It was in 

the 1970s that he founded the brand bearing his name and 

opened an atelier in Geneva. he later started his own brand 

that carried his name making pieces that were, to say the least, 

complicated and unique. 

he became recognised for his retrograde watches, Perpetual 

Calanders, Minute repeaters and Grande suonerie. In the 90’s 

Gerald Genta agreed with Bulgari Group and handed over his 

brand, due to strong competition from the big maisons. 

George Daniels 

A Passion for watches 

A tribute to two of the world’s watch making geniuses: gerald genta & george Daniels 

Dr gEorgE DANIELs 

Master watchmaker George Daniels passed away on the 

21st November 2011. Dr Daniels had worked in his 

profession for more than sixty years and in the course of 

his life was presented with more honours than any other 

horlogist. George Daniels was a former Master of the 

Clockmaker’s Company in London and former President of 

the horological Institute. he received various prestigious 

awards, one of which in 2010, when he was Knighted as a 

Commander of the Most excellent Order of the British 

empire (CBe). this honour was bestowed upon him by Queen 

elizabeth II for his contributions to watchmaking. 

Dr Daniels will always be remembered for his invention of 

the Omega Co-axial escapement, a mechanical movement 

that changed watchmaking forever. Omega produced its first 

movement fitted with a Co-axial escapement in 1999 and 

introduced its proprietary Co-axial calibre built around the 

escapement in 2007. today, with very few exceptions, all of 

Omega’s mechanical watches are equipped with Co-axial 

movements. he was one of the only watchmakers in the 

world who could create every working part - including the 

screws, which were all hand-made. 

George Daniels was asked in 2009 if he was surprised by the 

renewed popularity of the mechanical watches. his answer 

was characteristically clear, “Not at all,” he said. he went on 

to say “I have often said that I’ve never been in doubt that 

the mechanical watch would survive. My mantra has long 

been that the survival of the mechanical watch is ensured 

by its qualities: it is historic, technical, intellectual, aesthetic, 

useful and even amusing. these properties have sustained the 

popularity of mechanical watches through the ages and are 

bound to carry it well into the future. 

One of the real benefits of the Co-axial escapement: it will 

play a major role of extending the popularity of mechanical 

watches into the 21st century and beyond.”

Performance & Precision 

Born of the desire to defy the laws of mechanics by 

combining the greatest number of functions in one case, 

ultra-complicated watches are the ultimate expression 

of the watchmaker’s art. These timepieces are almost 

exclusively made as a very limited edition - some will 

only ever be made once - for the joy of collectors and 

admirers of exploits. Numerous timepieces should 

warrant the title of “complicated” and even “very 

complicated”. Since these watchmakers have made every 

effort to extend the limits of their art - and demonstrate 

their own dexterity - by combining the greatest possible 

number of functions in the restricted space afforded by a 

watch case. 

The foremost ‘Manufactures’ continue to vie in their 

bid to create the “world’s most complicated watch”. 

Among these historical exploits, particular mention must 

go to Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger LeCoultre, 

Zenith and Audemars Piguet. Alongside such stunning 

demonstrations of savoir-faire, watchmakers propose 

an impressive number of “grande complication” watches 

which, while having fewer functions, are even more 

attentive to simplicity of use, functionality and legibility. 

brEguET 

Breguet’s Classique Hora Mundi was a Baselworld star 

this year. In simple terms, it is the first example of a 

mechanical timepiece with an instant-jump time zone 

display. All of the displays jump between time zones with 

the push of a button. Once you see it, the concept is so 

intuitive, you wonder why it has not been done before. 

uLyssE NArDIN 

Ulysse Nardin continues to be in the forefront of 

watchmaking technology by pioneering new materials in 

manufacturing high precision movement components and 

most innovative timepieces. Ulysse Nardin Sonata with an 

alarm with cathedral gong, countdown indicator and a dual 

time system with instant time zone adjustor. 




Duo Metre - An exceptional timepiece with amazing 

focus on each detail beginning with the mechanics and 

ending with the spectacular decorated finish of the 

movement. The movement nicknamed the “dual Wing: 

is powered by 2 separate mechanisms that drive the two 

features of the watch (Time & Chronograph), while a 

single regulating mechanism ensures equally high accuracy 

of all features.

In 2007 Mont Blanc joined forces with Minerva

The Striking 10th is capable of timing events with accuracy 

down to 1/10 of a second. It accomplishes this thanks to its 

“high beat” movement, which oscillates 36,000 times per 

hour, or 10 times per second. Other chronographs only 

oscillate at five or eight times per second, making them 

unable to claim the precision of the Zenith El Primero
