Feldmar Staff Picks from Geneva Watch Days
Geneva Watch Days kicked off on August 29 with brands like Girard-Perregaux, BVLGARI, and Oris showcasing their newest pieces. From space-age carbon cases to a new Oris rated to 4,000 meters, the #FeldmarFam is here to break down our faves!
GIRARD-PERREGAUX LAUREATO ABSOLUTE 8TECH
“Eight is a bit of thing for the GP Laureato. From the eight-sided case geometry, to the eight hour markers, the newest addition to the Laureato Absolute collection draws on ultra-modern carbon materials to create watches that astound. No two are exactly alike!”
–Jimmy Inglish
Sales Associate
BVLGARI OCTO FINISSIMO CARBONGOLD
“Matte anthracite? Carbon? Rose gold? And all combined in one of the thinnest watches ever made? That’s luxury. BVLGARI continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking with the latest member of the Octo Finissimo family!”
–Lorel Monroy

RESSENCE TYPE 3 EUCALYPTUS
“When I saw what Ressence was unveiling at Geneva Watch Days, I knew the phone at my desk would start ringing. The Type 3 is the brand’s flagship watch and now in a pale green color, it takes on a whole new aesthetic.”
–Fred Brown

ORIS AQUIS PRO 4000M
“Like a lot of collectors, I’ve got tons of respect for Oris. As an independent brand, they’re famous for going their own way in regards to design and with the new Aquis Pro 4000M, they’ve shown they can run with (and often outrun!) the big boys when it comes to technical prowess.”

ULYSSE NARDIN BLAST FREE WHEEL MARQUETRY 45MM
“Wow, I mean, would you look at that dial!? The new Free Wheel Marquetry from UN adds another feather in the cap of the Blast collection’s already amazing lineage of watches. Utilizing silicon, this one reflects light in ways I’ve only dreamed about!”
–Freddy Yarmus
Sales Associate
ALPINER HERITAGE CARRÉE
“Alpina introduced this vintage-styled watch last year as a salute to the brand’s 140th anniversary. At that time, it was extremely limited, with just 14 pieces made. Now, the Heritage Carrée enters regular production with a steel case and automatic movement. I’m here for it!”
