There are a lot of very tempting things about this exquisite Patek Philippe, but first and foremost that it is such a very understated watch! With its distinct tonneau case and subtle Roman numerals, it shows that it is a fine watch, yet disguises how technically refined it is!

We sat down with Maximilian Büsser to talk about how his haute watch brand, MB&F, rose to the top of modern luxury watchmaking.

Swiss horologer Hublot and luxury shoemaker Berluti have created two exceptional timepieces that embody Hublot’s “Art of Fusion” philosophy.

The perpetual calendar is one of those coveted complications by watch connoisseurs. It is the technical complexity of having a watch that always displays the correct date, and can even deal with leap years, that brings quite some appeal to the table. Not every watch brand can make this complication, and when they do, more often than not they can be found in very classic styled watches. Not Hublot, who made the perpetual calendar part of their legendary Big Bang collection!

Franck Muller is best known for its complicated watches, often fitted with tonneau-shaped cases. So what happens when the brand opts for the most common case shape in the world of watches and fits it with manual wind movement? Then you get the Franck Muller Round Skeleton!

Luxury watchmaker Zenith teamed up with recording artist and producer, Swizz Beats to throw a memorable launch party for its new Defy collection.

A. Lange & Söhne has produced four of its models with deep-blue solid-silver dials: The Lange 1, Lange 1 Daymatic, Saxonia and Saxonia Automatic

Hublot and street artists Hush and Tristan Eaton create limited-edition timepieces that embody the label’s latest art concept – “Fame vs. Fortune.”

Some brands have been focussed on a single complication for a very long time. This goes for sure for Heuer, who has nurtured the chronograph as the focal point of most of its endeavors. That they excelled at this can not only their current collection testify for, but also their vintage models such as this single button chronograph from 1930.

Today WatchBox officially launched globally and buying, selling and trading pre-owned luxury watches will never be the same again. With a concept that already proven its worth in the US market, the rest of the world can now also experience this new way of buying, selling, and trading pre-owned luxury watches, as WatchBox takes it to the next level.

Some colors are far more popular in the world of watches then others. Black is always a favorite, not only for straps and dials but also for watch cases, blue is very popular this year, but what about white? We are not talking here only about the color of the dial, which remains popular, but also the cases. Then white all of a sudden becomes a rarity, although some examples do exist!

Few places in the world can rival with jewelry shopping in the Big Apple. New York City not only houses the boutiques from some of the most esteemed names in Haute Joaillerie from the continent but is also home to America's own major league of jewelers. Their popularity has made it that they even have been included in pop-culture, such as in Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" or the iconic movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's." When you find yourself shopping for jewelry in New York City, make sure to include the following places:

Swiss luxury watchmaker, Hublot inaugurated a unique exhibit to mark the opening of its latest boutique at Pisa Orologeria in Milan.

It seems somewhat of a contradiction, as such an esteemed and respected name in diamond trading, to have watches in your collection that are not set with precious stones. In fact, it illustrates how far Graff has come, as their watches are now generally accepted as masterpieces, even without diamonds.

Among other complications, the power reserve indicator always seems to be a bit dull. You do not have the continuous motion of a tourbillon, the playfulness of a chronograph, or the imposing look of a big date. However, many watch connoisseurs have a secret, or not so secret, crush on this complication. Where there was a time when a 48-hour power reserve was the most of it, now even the most common watches sport five days or more, and some might only take winding once a month. That gives the power reserve indicator a whole new level of excitement, especially since many brands now also display it in a far more creative way!

The announcement of the pre-SIHH models always feels like Christmas is coming early! These previews most certainly wet the appetite, and are a sign of great things to come! Among the brands that participate at the SIHH, Cartier, Ulysse Nardin, and Hermès have already given us a taste what to expect this January.
