Watches of Switzerland
“SalonQP opened its doors last night at London’s Saatchi Gallery with a glittering VIP champagne reception. Stars attending the event included quadruple Olympic gold-medal-winning British sailor Ben Ainslie and adventurer Charley Boorman, as well as legend of the watch industry, watchmaker Peter Roberts.”

“Peter Roberts, a legendary watchmaker in the English horological scene who can boast having instructed the likes of Peter Speake-Marin and Stephen Forsey (of Greubel Forsey), is now technical director of Bremont. Additionally, Roberts used the seminar talk entitled “40 Years of Watchmaking” to announce that “it’s now or never”: the brilliant technician is launching his own 40-piece limited run of a wristwatch entitled Grand Complication 5. Based on vintage hand-finished and hand-restored Valjoux 88 movements, it includes a column-wheel chronograph, a 24-hour GMT indication, a full calendar (day, date, month) and moon phase. All shown by legible hands.”

“The announcement was, for me at least, the highlight of SalonQP. I have been admiring Peter’s WOSTEP watch since I first saw it a few years ago, although there were many others in the room, including fabled watch journalist Ken Kessler, who have been waiting a lot longer.”
