Biography
The year was 2010, and I was less than a year into a new side gig writing about watches when I received a call asking if I’d like to visit a manufacturer in Switzerland, and document the experience. “What brand is it?” “Parmigiani Fleurier.” “I’m in.” Unbeknownst to me at the time, this trip would go on to shape my career. Not because of the brand or what I saw in their facilities in Fleurier, remarkable as they were (and continue to be), but because of the people I would encounter on the way. Being in and around the watch industry for 15 years has afforded me some pretty wild experiences, and taken me to some unforgettable locations. But the industry has seen considerable change over the years, particularly of late, and the path forward hasn’t always been well lit. The one consistent bright spot has always been the community of enthusiasts, not just in the watch space, but in the adjacent realms as well. Connecting with an incredibly diverse set of individuals the world over, gaining exposure to their perspectives, their interests, and their experiences with their passions has made the intervening years the most satisfying of my professional life. The goal here is to continue exploring the watch industry, its products, and its people with the same curiosity that brought me here. That means reviews, expeditions, editorials, and interviews, whatever form it may take. Further, and just as importantly, The Deep Track is my way of staying connected to the passionate enthusiasts and collectors out there that make this space as vibrant as it is.

The French fashion house has since fleshed out the collection with a variety of sizes, and this year we’re getting the Cut Le Temps Suspendu. This is a concept that took home a GPHG price when it was introduced back in 2011, and this year it’s being expressed within the design language of the Cut

By Blake Buettner Verified| The Deep Track Podcast@ Cartier had another strong year at Watches & Wonders with a focus on their core strengths, including something unexpected in the form of a new Tank à Guichets within the Cartier Privé framework. This digital display was first debuted by the French brand in 1928, and has made sparing appearances in the near century since, most recently in 2005 as part of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris
