As it has done every summer for the past ten years, GMT appears in an XXL version to highlight the best of fine watchmaking. Through seven dozen pages, the brands most forcefully epitomising the Swiss watchmaking scene invite you to journey through the Jura mountains, to embark on a rally through the Bernese Alps, to visit the must-see city of Geneva, and even whiz down to the Côte d'Azur where they have set a date this coming autumn for the biennial Only Watch event during the Monaco Yacht Show, an exceptional event related in detail by GMT since its very first edition in 2004. The particularly generous format of our summer issue serves to emphasise the extent to which artistry and craftsmanship transcend the technological breakthroughs achieved by the Swiss watch industry. Each in its own way, the companies presented in this collector's edition illustrate their expertise in the field of horological techniques, design and fine workmanship. Finally, we take a look behind the scenes at the virtuoso artisans and engineers pooling their efforts to give life to authentic mechanical gems. Our sincere thanks are due to these magicians for entrusting us with sharing some of their secrets with you.
