NEW: The SIHH in Genève started

The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie celebrates its 20th anniversary today. The SIHH will take place from January 18th to 22nd 2010 in Genève, Switzerland. The start of the SIHH means new press releases from the luxury brands. The exhibitors this year are:  A.Lange & Söhne, Alfred Dunhill, Audemars Piguet, Baume & Mercier, Cartier, JeanRichard, Girard Perregaux, Greubel Forsey, IWC, Jaeger LeCoultre, Montblanc, Officine Panerai, Parmigiani Fleurier, Piaget, Ralph Lauren Watch & Jewelry Co, Richard Mille, Roger Dubuis, Vacheron Constantin and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Above you see three new watches. The first one is the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix chronograph limited edition. It is made from high-tech materials as carbon and it is equipped with a selfwinding movement. The second one is the Jeager-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2. This model is developed for the most extreme conditions and equipped with a mechanical Chronograph with GMT-function. The thirth is the Richard Mille RM028. This watch is available in titanium and a rubber strap. It is a diver's watch following the trend set out by the first Richard Mille diver's watch RM025.

These are also new complicated watches. The first one is the Panerai Radiomir Oro Rosa. This watch is 42mm and the case is pink gold. It has a new in-house calibre, the P.999. This calibre is hand-wound and features a 60-hour power reserve. The second watch is the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Chronograph. It offers a stylish take on traditional watchmaking, integrating a column-wheel chronograph in an elegant case from its Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection. The last watch is the Greubel & Forsey Double Tourbillon in red gold. This year Greubel & Forsey makes its first appearance. Newly installed in the original and innovative manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the team of 63 highly qualified watchmakers patiently work together to contribute to the highly manufactured timepieces stemming from the new inventions: the Double Tourbillon 30°, the Tourbillon 24 secondes, and the Quadruple Tourbillon (SIHH, 2010).

Tomorrow there is coming more from the SIHH.
