Our journey at Watches and Wonders 2024


Sparkling PR was present at the most important event in the world of fine watchmaking with the aim of promoting two of our clients’ 2024 launches. The Salon attracted a total of 49,000 international visitors, including professionals, industry media and the general public.

ICONIC BRANDS AT WATCHES AND WONDERS

We had the pleasure of working with Eberhard & Co., during its first time at the event where the Swiss Maison presented its novelties, the Chronographe 1887 Édition Limitée, in a limited edition of 250 pieces, and the Chronographe 1887 Automatique. Two chronographs with exclusive calibres, representing a new synthesis, in a contemporary key, of the Maison’s DNA, in a space whose design was inspired by the Eberhard & Co.’s emblem, the Shield: a strong symbol of authenticity, security and solidity.

We also joined Singer Reimagined, where the brand presented its latest model, the Divetrack, a watch designed to meet the demands of the most discerning divers and watch enthusiasts alike. The brand presented the Divetrack first-hand at the Beau-Rivage Hotel, where Marco Borracino, Singer’s co-founder, was present to talk about the brand’s creative process with the attendees.

OUR JOURNEY DURING GENEVA WATCH WEEK

As strategic partners of world-renowned brands, such as Eberhard & Co. for the Spanish press and Singer Reimagined for the international press, we constantly strive to achieve ambitious goals that go beyond the traditional expectations of public relations. Our essential pillar is individualism and personalization. That’s what we did in Geneva. From personalized emails about each of the brand’s novelties and participation, to confirming RSVPs and accompanying the press on site, each stage was planned and executed to guarantee results. By introducing the brand’s novelties in person, we not only highlighted the technical and design features, but also created an ambiance that encouraged involvement and interaction with those who attended.

We had the pleasure of welcoming over 70 renowned media from the world of watchmaking, such as GMT, Worldtempus, Tiempo de Relojes, Fratello Watches, Monochrome Watches, Revolution, GQ, CH24, Watch Time, Watchonista, Montres Magazine, among many others.

In terms of coverage, we successfully negotiated articles among international media such as, GMT Magazine, Worldtempus, Monochrome Watches, Quill & Pad, ABlogToWatch, The Limited Edition, Gear Patrol, Watches by SJX, Uncrate, Acquire, ABC, Máquinas del Tiempo, Tiempo de Relojes, Relojes y Estilo, Relógios & Relógios, Watch I Love, Hiconsumption, CH24, Men’s Health among others.

At Sparkling PR, our aim extends beyond brand visibility. We work to guarantee their distinctiveness, acknowledgment and success through meaningful and professional relationships with the press. And this is what we call a journey.

Singer Reimagined x Genus: The 8-Track Watch


For this year’s Only Watch charity auction, Singer Reimagined and Genus are rekindling the flame of the childlike sense of wonder that lies dormant in each of us, bringing back a flow of memories: the 8-Track Watch. This timepiece is a fusion of the mechanical-aesthetic, the horokinetic, the auto-emotional that brings back childhood memories and the passion for miniature versions of the cars for “when we grow up”.

8-TRACK WATCH: THE RACER

The 8-Track is a fusion of ideas, passions, mechanics and two watch brands: a watch with a Singer aesthetic in a case inspired by the iconic watches of the 60s and 70s, with a deep connection to the world of motorsports; the perfect setting for the exceptional mechanics of the display complication invented by Genus. The 8-Track Watch is a meeting of minds between two brands, both iconoclasts in their own fields, both with a taste for and a natural attitude towards pushing the envelope beyond limits and conventions.

THE ENGINE BETWEEN TWO BRANDS

What could be more logical for a car restorer than to work with an engine builder?
At the center of the watch, no dial but a unique automotive display. In the background, the GxS-23-Ru caliber, whose components are designed and hand-worked by the Master Watchmaker. The quiet power of the GxS-23-Ru caliber. Faithful to the foundations of Genus’ watchmaking approach, it takes on a new form, as a micro-sculpted racer that zips around its track: yet another testament to the flexibility and versatility of this singular watchmaking brand.

“The journey to create the Divetrack was fueled by a passion to redefine the diving watch for the modern era. Inspired by the adventurous spirit of divers and the timeless elegance of the 60s and 70s chronographs. Divetrack is our answer to the unasked question of what makes a watch truly indispensable under the sea. Every challenge faced in its creation. It was an opportunity to innovate, ensuring the Divetrack not only meets but exceeds the expectations., says Marco, Singer’s CEO and Co-Founder.

A SYMPHONY OF PRECISION WITH SINGER REIMAGINED

Crafted over a decade of development, the Divetrack boasts a dedicated 24-hour version of the AgenGraphe automatic movement featuring 479 parts and a robust 72-hour power reserve.
Its innovative design ensures optimal legibility underwater, with all chronograph functions centralised for easy and intuitive reading.

The Singer 24-h AgenGraphe Caliber is not merely an advancement; it’s a revolution in mechanical watchmaking. It challenges and redefines age-old principles, introducing a new era of ingenuity.

Finally, you will have the chance to see the watch for the first time during Watches and Wonders in Geneva. At the Hotel Beau-Rivage. From April 9 to 13, 2024.

The Beauty of Darkness x Minase Watches


Minase Watches launches a new limited series of 25 pieces: Horizon GEN DLC.

In Japanese, GEN is spelled with the kanji character “玄”, which offers several meanings such as depth, darkness, mystery or the color black. With this, these terms perfectly describe the new limited series, a Horizon clad in deep, glossy black DLC (Diamond like Carbon), alternating between brushed and polished areas.

MINASE WATCHES: THE DLC COATING (DIAMOND LIKE CARBON)

Minase has chosen the Horizon model as the ideal expression of this DLC finish. Inspired by the watch’s similarity to the horizon line stretching over the sea and designed with pure, simple lines.

The case, crown, indexes and buckle are DLC-coated. Secondly, this treatment enhances the hardness of 316L steel by depositing fine layers on its various components. DLC treatment offers a great resistance to scratches. It has a Swiss ETA 2892-2 movement.

THE JAPANESE KNOW-HOW

Still, the design of its sides is an influence by a Japanese sword, the Horizon watch combines the calm of the ocean with the strength of the Katana (the Samurai’s sword). Also, the case and bracelet appear on a single plane. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal perfectly follow the curve of the watch.

Therefore, the model will be available for viewing for the first time at the District Time Exhibition in Washington (March 2-3, 2024).
