Sneak peek at the heart of the next ‘halo’ model. Looking to launch by late March or April and will announce more details closer to the date.
Do ignore the case back text as it was taken from the previous mirage case back, it’s not a tourbillon so pricing will be more accessible.
CITIZEN ACQUIRES MANUFACTURE LA JOUX-PERRET

While everyone was obsessively looking towards China, and even the smallest Chinese investment in Swiss timekeeping was scrutinised down to the last detail, there was a bit of news, announced just before BaselWorld, that took the Swiss watch community totally by surprise: the Japanese group Citizen had acquired Manufacture La Joux-Perret! Or, to be more precise, it purchased the holding company Prothor, which, besides the La Joux-Perret manufacturer of movements and modules, encompasses the component parts maker, Prototec, and the high-end watch brand, Arnold & Son. The transaction was reportedly in the neighbourhood of CHF 65 million, with the Prothor group earning about CHF 40 million in turnover, employing some 150 people.
