The meteorological summer has begun, so it is officially time to take in again the joys that this season has to offer. Short sleeves are more often than not, what we wear during this time of year, putting more of an emphasis on the watches that we are wearing. Here are four sports watches that are perfect for welcoming the warmest season of the year.

It might be a cliche, but a watch is one of the best gifts to give dad for father's day. It combines practical and sentimental values and will provide him with joy whenever he is wearing it. Which watch to get dad depends very much on what style your dad prefers and what he enjoys doing. The following four might give you some inspiration on what to get for that important man in your life.

Summertime means for most people spending time with friends and family on their boat, the beach, or some other location where they can relax for a moment and enjoy life. On such occasions being able to tell what time it is might not be of the utmost importance yet for many is a watch an essential part of their summer outfits. Here are four watches by Hublot that all have a generous dash of 'summer vibes';

That Hublot loves art is something that has already been established. The brand has teamed up with some of the most well-known and celebrated artists from around the world to bring their unique style into the port-hole design that made Hublot such an icon. Next to Richard Orlinski and Romero Britto is also Marc Ferrero among them. The French artist teamed up with Hublot for the second time, creating two watches around what is arguably his most well-known work, 'Lipstick.'

Haute Time had the opportunity to have a one-on-one webinar with Irish football legend Robbie Keane and the watch industry's top names, Rick de la Croix.

This year will be not a Mother's Day as usual. In many countries, people can't take their mother out for lunch or even visit her due to the restrictions concerning the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet that doesn't mean that Mother's Day 2020 is canceled. There are still many ways in which we can surprise our mothers, and perhaps now is the time to treat her on a very special watch, to underscore not only how you feel about her, but also the importance of time, especially time shared together. One of the following four watches might be the perfect option:

The times we are currently facing are challenging for many of us, and for a variety of different reasons. Yet no matter what the reason is, it is essential to maintain hope. Only then can we find the strength to come together, be creative, and work our way productively through the problems. Watches can then be seen as a trivial thing, but apart from being an industry by itself which fuels our economies, can they also serve as an inspiration. When we are capable of making mechanical watches that can measure time with an accuracy of 99.994% (the worst rating with which a watch can still be Chronometer-certified), it serves as a testimony that human ingenuity knows no bounds and that we can persevere. Therefor four mechanical timepieces that can not only inspire but also brighten our day with their colorful appearance.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has a profound impact on our daily lives. In many parts of the world, staying inside is the credo, with people living their lives in social quarantine. This also has quite an impact on many industries, including that of watches. Retailers

What has been only a short few weeks looks almost like another lifetime, when we were able to sit down with Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, to talk about the success factors of the brand. At the time, increased tensions between Iran and other parties in the region seemed to be the biggest fear, but little did we know that soon the Covid-19 pandemic would rule our daily lives and made the LVMH Watch Week the only fair that has been taken place this year so far. Nevertheless, was it a more than an interesting conversation in which he shared freely his insights in what makes Hublot such a success story.

If I had written this article a couple of years back, I would have said that green was a trend color, but this is not the case anymore. Many brands have not only adopted green as a staple color within their collection but also make many different types of watches with this color. From classic dress watches and utilitarian pilots to diving watches and sporty chronographs, green is here to stay, and what better day to wear a green watch than on St.Patrick's Day?

While a tourbillon is, in general, a complication that will put most watch connoisseurs in awe, there is quite a difference among them. The most traditional ones feature a bridge on both sides, in between which they do their mesmerizing dance. A flying tourbillon lacks the front bridge, which allows you to see more of the intricate parts that make a tourbillon work. As the tourbillon is such a popular complication, many brands have made it a focal point for their technical creativity, which has resulted in watches that truly take your breath away.

Staying power is something that every watch brand hopes for when they launch a new model. Achieving this is far more complicated than it might seem at first. Many new models will be tweaked in their design within a relatively short period after their launch, while others ride a wave of fashion only to be discontinued as this wave is taken over by another one. Only with a rare few, the passing of time doesn't seem to get a hold of them. They have become icons for their respective brands, and benchmarks for the rest of the industry. But that doesn't mean that they did it by merely being idle.

Whether auctions like Only Watch benefitting research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or celebrities selling personal watches and donating proceeds to various charities, auctioning high-end timepieces for worthy causes is a common occurrence in the watch industry. Along with these high profile events, some brands also have charity-supporting timepieces as part of their catalog. From wildlife conservation to social change to health care, here are a few fantastic watches that support good causes.

The power reserve of a mechanical watch is not often a topic of discussion, that while in everyday life it can be an essential aspect of how you enjoy your timepiece. Hublot is one of the brands that has always acknowledged this and incorporates this way of thinking throughout its collection.
