Like many of the watch brands, Europa Star takes its annual break this time of year.

Consequently, our daily news service on the website will be interrupted for the next two weeks and will resume the week beginning 13 August 2012.

In the meantime, you will be able to discover some new watch models that will be posted in our Watch Gallery and catch up on reading any articles you may have missed in the current issue. Our next issue, which will feature a report on alternative movement and assortment suppliers to the big groups, as well as a market focus on North America and an article on the price ranges for tourbillons, will be published at the end of August.

For more holiday reading, we also offer a sneak preview of the Lakin@Large column for the next issue, in which Malcolm Lakin deals with the highly topical subject of watch brands who are associated with this year’s summer of sport.

Happy holidays!
