"divine" proportion

Ellipse d’Or

The design of the ellipse was inspired by the principle of the "golden ratio" discovered by the mathematicians of Greek antiquity. This "divine" proportion, 1:1.6181, is the basis for many famous buildings and works of art in history and also that of the Ellipse d'Or.

Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
