    Win a one-year subscription for the GMT Magazine

    How many issues of GMT Magazine are published per year in Switzerland?
    4
    6 ---See below.
    8

    HERE it says '4 issues per year + 1 special issue.' 5 isn't an option so is 4 the required answer?
    HERE, under 2012 it says 'With six annual editions, GMT becomes the Swiss B2C watchmaking magazine with the highest publication frequency...'
    On their Facebook 'about' page it says "GMT magazine is published in Switzerland six times a year." so I guess answer must be 6. That is the only comment I have found that specifically states "published in Switzerland".

    Win a pair of cufflinks from Chronopassion

    Which was the first boutique (except for Horlogerie Suisse in Florence) to offer Panerai watches, before the brand was acquired by Richemont?
    Bucherer
    A l'Emeraude
    Chronopassion

    Haven't been able to find a definitive answer yet. I suspect the answer is Chronopassion as they are the prize provider but have not been able to confirm.
    ETA: The article HERE says, "From 1993, when Panerai was only known through private distribution, Laurent Picciotto was one of the first to fall for the Italian Naval combat swimmers’ watch and put it on the market.". Laurent Picciotto is the founder of Chronopassion.
