After a weekend of invigorating Swiss mountain air in anticipation of the biannual "Glacier Patrol" mountaineering race sponsored by TAG Heuer, which was sadly canceled at the last minute, it's back to work for a week of interesting watch-replica news, from today with an interview with Thierry Stern.

Further interviews will follow later this week as Isabelle Guignet speaks with Chronoswiss owner Oliver Ebstein and Kurt Kupper, the CEO of the traditional music box and vending machine manufacturer Reuge. She also reports on a visit to the Officine Panerai factory in Neuchâtel, while Olivier Müller looks back on 80 years of the brand's Radiomir model.

Combining the latest trends with historic watchmaking traditions, the brand has just announced that its first 188 timepieces will be available on a subscription basis this year, reviving a concept first started by none other than Abraham-Louis Breguet.
