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.

When you work with some of the world's most accomplished athletes, you can count on it that they will take your watches through their paces. For Richard Mille, this is exactly how he likes it, as it challenges him time after time again to take things to the next level. Nadal, who won 19 Grand Slam Singles titles, wears his Richard Mille also on the court. This means that the RM 35-02 not only needs to be very light but also very strong.

When it comes to Rolex's sports watches, the focus is often on their famed Daytona, GMT-Master, Explorer of Submariner, rather than the Yacht-Master. Even today can the Yacht-Master be considered a new kid on the block, as this model wasn't introduced until 1992 and doesn't have such a long history as the other Rolex sports models mentioned. Some refer to it as the Submariner's casual sibling, and there is some truth to this. While visually, it has some similarities, there are also differences. The 60-minute graduated bezel is bidirectional, and Yacht-Master is 'only' waterproof to 100 meters. In effect, this makes it the perfect watch for people who enjoy all kinds of water sports but don't scuba dive.

In the world of Panerai, there is no such thing as a small watch. For many years, the Panerai-life started at a diameter of 44mm and above. These times have changed, as slowly but surely, the brand introduces more modest size siblings of its iconic watches. This includes the Submersible, a model that even among other Panerai used to impose with its generous diameter and thickness. The Submersible PAM00959 still impresses, yet now with a diameter of only 42mm.

Bulgari has spoiled us over the last few years with ultra-thin delicacies that they presented within the Octo Finissimo collection. One of the highlights in this line-up is, without a doubt, the minute repeater. It has a natural attraction to watch connoisseurs because of its complex mechanism, but also due to the sound it makes. Many brands have invested significant resources in improving the vibrance and tone when the hammers hit the gongs, but Bulgari also focussed on the movement itself. Through clever engineering, they succeeded in making it only 3.12mm thick, which is as astonishing as it is record-breaking.

Within the collection of Panerai does the Submersible hold a special place. They are often even bolder than their siblings, which is especially the case with the Submersible Chrono Guillaume Nery Edition. With a diameter of 47mm, it is large, even for a Panerai. The case is crafted from titanium to keep the weight down and has a black DLC coating. DLC stands for 'Diamond-Like Carbon,' which is a robust coating that Panerai applied with a matte finish.

Because the chronograph is one of the most prevalent complications, the variety among them is nearly endless. To create something different and appealing proves to be quite the task, especially when it also has to be in line with the brand's DNA. Jaquet Droz solved this by giving its Grande Seconde Chronograph, literally, a twist.

Skeleton watches have a long and great tradition. Many brands have used this type of watch to highlight their craftsmanship and the beauty of the movements. This is also what Ulysse Nardin does with the Skeleton X, only they give it a distinctly contemporary twist to it, using innovative materials and mixing them with extraordinary design.

The Senator-collection of Glashütte Original is a line of refined classic timepieces, proud of its German pedigree. Made in the small town of Glashütte, near the historic city of Dresden, they represent in many ways the best that the brand has to offer. While this includes complicated pieces such as a perpetual calendar and tourbillon, it is the chronograph that sets the pace.

The Patek Philippe 5212A Calatrava Weekly Calendar was one of the most surprising watches of last year, and for more reasons than one. It is always exciting when an esteemed and traditional brand like Patek Philippe goes into a new direction because you know it has to be good. They most certainly had no problem meeting these high expectations and did so with an entirely new watch.

TAG Heuer is celebrating its 160 years of fine watchmaking history with the release of the new TAG Heuer Carrera Silver Limited Edition.

Owners of the priced watches no longer have to keep a paper copy of their warranty. They will be able to access their digital warranty on their user account in the Ulysse Nardin website or on the blockchain. The blockchain's decentralized certification will make it impossible for the warranty to be lost or hacked.

OMEGA debuted its latest addition to the Speedmaster collection, the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Stainless Steel.

This year it has been fourteen years ago since A. Lange & Söhne launched their Datograph Perpetual, yet it is still holding a prominent position as one of the most desirable pieces within the collection of the brand. As with many of the watches from this esteemed brand, is also this timepiece an elegant and classic creation. Day, month, and leap year are indicated in a traditional way, with hands on subdials. In between them, we find a window for the moon phase display. The outsize date is perhaps the most eyecatching feature of this watch, placed just below the twelve o'clock position, in two rectangular gold-rimmed windows. With this complication does the Datograph Perpetual also honor that typical A. Lange & Söhne tradition of displaying the date in such an oversized fashion.

The Hublot Classic Fusion Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Orlinski Sapphire is a watch full of contradictions. Because of its skeletonized movement and transparent case, it looks rather delicate. In reality, it is more the opposite. The case is crafted from sapphire crystal, which is not only very strong but also very light. The movement may be skeletonized, but Hublot opted for a modern approach towards this, which not only looks great but also ensures that the movement remains rigid.

Creating a contemporary classic is by no means an easy task, as these words combined are, to begin with, a contradiction. That doesn't mean that it cannot be done, as proven by Parmigiani when they launched the Tonda Chronor Anniversaire. This watch was a landmark creation for the brand, with which it also marked its 20th anniversary. It features an integrated split-seconds chronograph movement with a large date complication added as well. Two column wheels control the chronograph's actions, and because the movement runs at 36,000 vph, it makes it possible to measure the passing of time with an accuracy of 1/10th of a second.
