Carbon is a material that has got increasingly more traction in the watch world, especially in recent years. While it is still not a common material, in part due to its specific production process, it offers significant advantages and adds a very distinct look to a watch. This is also the case with the recently introduced Defy Classic Carbon. One of the reasons that Zenith took this step was the lightness of carbon fiber. The Defy Classic Carbon, with an integrated carbon fiber bracelet, weighs a mere 65 grams. This is already half the weight of the same Defy made from titanium, another material known for being relatively light.

Sparta is a classic example of modern yachting that checks off every box.

The Santos de Cartier Chronograph can best be described as dynamic elegance. Its sense of refinement comes from the iconic case and its distinct bezel, which now extends to where the bracelet or strap begins, one of the hallmarks of the in 2018 redesigned collection. While it maintains the recognizable profile of the Santos, it also provides it with a fresh look. The chronograph version is visually more dynamic than its time-only sibling. This is in part due to the subdials, which Cartier spaced out perfectly. The dial features the signature Roman numerals, along with a partial railroad track along the outer perimeter, marking the hours and minutes.

Bugatti stands for the continuous quest for technological innovations and the Bugatti Bolide surpasses all expectations!

The Damier pattern is synonymous with Louis Vuitton. It was the man himself who designed this checkered pattern, which already decorated the trunks and suitcases the company made in the late 1800s. It most certainly stood the test of time, as it is today not only still in production but also in high demand as one of Louis Vuitton's signature patterns. It is also the source of inspiration for two new Tambour watches that come with a sportive twist.

Diamonds are often thought to be the rarest and expensive gemstones in the world, but this is not the case. While they are most certainly precious, there are gemstones found in much lower quantities, like the Paraíba tourmaline. This gemstone was discovered for the first time in 1989 in the Brazilian state of Paraíba, hence its name. Later on, there were also deposits found in Nigeria and Mozambique. To put their rarity into perspective, a single Paraíba tourmaline is mined for every 10,000 diamonds.

Benetti Diamond 145 is a 44-metre superyacht that will take the yachting experience to a new level.

Ulysse Nardin has always had a strong connection with the ocean. This is evident not only from their watches but also from the events that they sponsor. They are, for example, the official timekeeper of the Vendée Globe. This challenging yacht race takes place every four years, in which the participants have to sail a total of 21,638 nautical miles (40,075 kilometers) non-stop and unassisted from start to finish. However, Ulysse Nardin is also doing more, as they have set up a special research unit dedicated to studying sustainable innovation for watchmaking projects.
