162 November 2013 www.bahrainthismonth.com The realm of timepieces has two hemispheres: the inner life of a watch and its outward appearance. The movement that ticks inside keeps track of time and controls the indications. The external elements protect the movement and make the watch operable. To a great extent, they are responsible for the aesthetic appeal of the timepiece. At Patek Philippe, these two hemispheres combine to form a single cosmos in which the movement and the appearance of the watch constitute an inseparable entity. In the past, the inner life of Patek Philippe timepieces was showcased at Baselworld with emphasis on silicon technology, the chronograph initiative and minute repeaters. At Baselworld 2013, the manufacturer more actively focused on the visual facets. marketplace PATEK PHILIPPE
