Our annual publication L'Orologio Almanacco, edition 2022/2023, is now available at newsstands and in a digital version, purchasable via our App, which can be downloaded free of charge from Google Play and the App Store.
The cover is dedicated to one of the most important Rolex novelties of this year: the Deepsea Challenge, which sees Rolex use titanium for the first time and translates into commercial reality the prototype that in 2012 went down to the deepest point of the oceans in the Mariana Trench. A professional diver's watch, guaranteed water-resistant to an astonishing 11,000 metres.
An analysis of the dynamics of the watch market in 2022 confirms the growth of haute horlogerie. And in the luxury sector, the first watch and luxury goods fair entirely dedicated to the 'second wrist' market is born: Re-Luxury. Fabienne Lupo, creator and CEO of the format, tells us about it.
Plus, the most important auction results worldwide, the winners of the GPHG, the 2022 initiatives of L'Orologio Club, the posts that provoked the most comments and discussions on our Instagram profile, and the main news items that characterised the watchmaking year (the most emblematic launches, anniversaries, events, sustainability initiatives, partnerships).
As is tradition, once again this year a special space is dedicated to some of the best Italian watchmaking salons, with their suggestions for Christmas presents.
Happy reading!
