Is it a coincidence that guichet watches, which were quite popular during the Art Deco era, would experience a resurgence during the year of that movement’s centennial? We think not. “In that era, people were really looking towards the future, for new ways of doing things and new ways of expressing style. I think we are in a period that is very similar,” observed Nicholas Manousos, executive director of the Horological Society of New York. Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Bremont and Jaeger-LeCoultre all introduced Guichet watches this year; two of those introductions are reimaginations of pieces originally introduced during the Art Deco period.
