A goal was scored by Haute Time as we welcomed the timekeeping legend, and CEO of MLG Group, Rick de la Croix, and English former footballer Rio Ferdinand for a chat about the "Beautiful Game" and quarantine days.

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.

The Geneva International Motor Show is gearing up for its 90th edition, slated to take place in early March. As one of Europe’s premier motor shows, GIMS is where some of the leading automakers unveil their most important cars for the year. While various car manufacturers are bowing out of this year’s edition due to COVID-19 concerns, many are forging ahead as planned. As we wait for the show to kick-off, let’s have a look at a few watch and car collabs and the models they’ve produced.

If you look at the top-ranked golfers, you’ll see that almost all of them are ambassadors of luxury watch brands, dutifully wearing select timepieces during trophy ceremonies and press appearances. And if you’re a regular follower of professional golf tournaments, you will have no doubt noticed the heavy presence of watch sponsorships at the events. However, some timepiece brands are taking the partnership with the sport beyond just product placement into product development. Here are three golf watches designed in collaboration with golfers developed to be worn during gameplay.

Picking a valentine watch for a woman seems to be substantially easier than selecting one for men. While women don't shy away from hearts, diamonds, and mother-of-pearl, around their wrist, finding tokens of love that men will wear is a bit more challenging. Here are a couple of suggestions that will not only perfectly express how you feel, but that are also too tempting for most men not to wear them!

There was a time when the perpetual calendar was a complication that could only be found in classic, gold cases, fitted with alligator leather straps. They were revered and treasured, yet only worn when the activities weren't too strenuous or potentially damaging to its complex movement. Times have changed, and today is a gold cased dress watch not automatically the timepiece of choice anymore for the rich and accomplished. In their active lives, they need a watch that can keep up with the pace, yet the fascination for the perpetual calendar hasn't dwindled. When the brands combined both, by putting that revered complication in a sportive watch, something magical happened as the following four watches prove.

Luxury watchmaker Hublot headed to Miami for Super Bowl LIV weekend and celebrated in style with some of the biggest names in football and sports broadcasting.

Can the introduction of an integrated bracelet for a watch ever be big news? It is when it concerns a watch that quite literally was a 'Big Bang' in the world of watches. Fifteen ago, Hublot launched the Art of Fusion at Baselworld with the Big Bang, a watch that has become in no-time an icon in its own right. It propelled the then niche brand to the forefront of luxury watchmaking. A key element has always been the rubber strap, which has been the signature of Hublot ever since its founding.
