SIHH 2013: What you miss if you don't go to the GTE
Although not with a long history like the SIHH or Basel the GTE "Geneva Time Exhibition" has grown to be a rendez-vous for small brands and Independents. In short everything that is interesting!
The following is a quick fly-by (only 77 images). I asked each (almost all) exhibitor to show me the two watches they most wanted PuristS to see. As you can see I sometimes have problems counting and the order can only be described as chaotic. Enjoy!
If this is not enough info for you, you will just have to stop by and look for yourself.
This year the GTE is being held in the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices built in the 1880s in the middle of the Rhône in downtown Geneva.

Have I stirred your curiosity ?
The GTE is only a small jump from the SIHH, do it!
To some of these pieces I will come back in the next days.

Really awesome post Don
showing us that there is really big world out there Thank you for eye opener Sincerely Damjan
I am fascinated by Reuge's universe. Really charming.
Thanks for the superb post, Don. Good to see you at work. Maybe will you be the only one to cover the SIHH, if snow doesn't stop falling. :) Best! Nicolas
Sometime pictures are better than words...
Thanks for sharing Don, looking forward to going tomorrow. Cheers Andrew
The RGM tonneau . . .
. . . with matching shaped movement is intriguing, Don. I believe you've covered this one before (the movement, at least), and hope there's a bit more detail to come. Art
thanks Don for the unique collection of watches. I am ...
Looking forward to more details.
I want that turtle!
Thanks Don for sharing, I'll surely be glad to read your post again this week and try to learn more about some of them. Have a good time there this week. Cheers, Mark
I immediately thought the same thing ...
... and then I thought of all the other little mechanical toys around our house that could be transformed with a beautifully finished high-end movement. And this could breed a whole new niche market in automatons. We still need art around us that amuses. ...
First thing I thought; already got my wife "on my side"
Because it's so cute (to her) and so very cool (to me). Clock works run it, I presume? And higher class clock works that this little guy! Imagine all the things that could be mechanized! Cazalea ...
+1 for Turtle!
This automata sticks! Don, hopefully you can grab a video. Thanks for the report. Kong
Ok, we all have to share it.
Piece unique. I'm in for the waiting list. Limited to twelve people, one per month. Vte ...
I would call it, the beautiful movements exhibition.
The first series of pics are great. Look at all those gorgeous movements, love them. A must visit for any watch enthusiast around Geneva, no doubt. Would love to, but my six hours visit to the SIHH is not enough. So, thanks for taking us there with this i...
Arrived today to horrid weather
Lotsa flight delays...will try to make it down tomorrow. Some Indies I have not heard before as well Will call you mate Best, Horo
I like The Turtle...
Thanks Don for your post! I missed the turtle at the GTE! Googled the maker. It's a Tortoise Automaton. Will definitely do some research about that! Thanks Don!
thanks for taking the time for this Don
some very interesting pieces there and a plethora of tourbillons. best G.
