One of the most unusual features (for watch enthusiasts) of this extremely unusual, difficult, and unpredictable year, has been an upset of the normal calendar of new releases, which is the most dramatic I've seen in two decades and more of writing about watches. Probably the single most notable news on this front has actually been the absence of news from two companies. These are Rolex and Patek Philippe which, in anything approaching normal conditions, are usually at the top of everyone's list of must-sees at Baselworld. Competition, indeed, is fierce among watch journalists to be first to publish stories about new watches from both brands.
