Watchland Group's Further Development Impressed at WPHH 2015
A Gathering of Artisans' Masterpieces
The Watchland Group is a collective of watch and jewelry brands, with Franck Muller at its core. Located in the scenic town of Genolier, just outside Geneva, overlooking Lake Geneva, it has hosted its own new release exhibition, WPHH (World Presentation of Haute Horlogerie), in this chateau since 1998.
Particularly noteworthy is Franck Muller, which unveiled its new collection, "Vanguard" in 2014. As expected, 2015 marks the full-scale launch of this collection in Japan.
Furthermore, considerable attention was drawn to Cvstos, celebrating its 10th anniversary. The brand's watchmaking, which leverages cutting-edge technology, has been further refined, with the introduction of watches using new materials, conveying a sense of momentum.
While held concurrently with SIHH each year, the event has grown in vibrancy year by year. This time, it was once again possible to observe the remarkable progress not only of Franck Muller but of the entire Watchland Group.

FRANCK MULLER
To commemorate the full-scale launch of "Vanguard," released in 2014, in Japan in '15, Franck Muller has prepared Japan-exclusive models. Additionally, the brand has ambitiously unveiled its lineup, including a revival of its early double-faced chronograph.
CVSTOS
Cvstos celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2015. The brand has enriched its collection to befitting its memorial year, introducing models that adopt the new case material "forged carbon" for its flagship tonneau-shaped "Cintree Curvex" collection, among others.
