Michel Parmigiani, the founding father of the brand that bears his name, started his career restoring watches. Over the years he has worked on the rarest and most amazing clocks, pocket- and wristwatches ever created. This has given him a great understanding of movements, decoration techniques as well as design. In 1997 he brought all this experience together, founded his brand and designed, build and launched the Toric.

There is no denying that there is something special about grand feu enamel. This classic material gives a watch a unique lustre, and every watch connoisseur is familiar with the skills needed to create such a dial. In general, white is the color of choice when brands craft such a dial, but Breguet now shows us the luscious seduction when you opt for blue instead.

Zenith has always had a passion for fine cigars. Although a completely different product from watches, the craftsmanship, knowledge and passion needed to create a top quality product isn't. It is, therefore, no wonder that Zenith joined Habanos in celebrating the 50th anniversary of their Trinidad cigars with four very special Pilot Type 20 Chronographs to mark the occasion.

When a capable watchmaker such as Chopard calls its creation 'All-in-One' you have every reason to be delighted! The brand introduced the first edition of this extraordinary watch in 2010 when it celebrated its 150th anniversary. Over the years it has proved its staying power, as one of the most complicated watches that Chopard has to offer.

Twenty-five years ago Omega launched the Seamaster Diver 300M. It was part of a collection that was one of the pillars of Omega for decades, but this new watch was different. With its distinct bracelet design, wave dial and charismatic bezel it broke the mould and became an icon. For a diving watch that is quite something to accomplish, as in many cases their design is very traditional, often using one or more design elements of that other icon; the Rolex Submariner.

Ever since its introduction is the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon a great success! It is perhaps the Swiss watch that offers the most bang for your buck. With the collection starting at $17.000,- you are getting an automatic chronograph, with a flying tourbillon, powered by a manufacture movement which is also Chronometer certified. As TAG Heuer took no shortcuts in terms of quality or finish, it can't come as a surprise that this watch ranks as one of the bestselling tourbillon watch ever.

Class pur sang, that is, and always has been the Piaget Altiplano. A refined case, which is so distinctly understated that connoisseurs immediately know that they are looking at something special, houses a movement that comes from a royal lineage of ultra-slim movements.

Let's be honest; a partnership between a car manufacturer and a watch brand isn't always a good idea. When the aim is purely a commercial one and more an exchange of logos rather than a true understanding of each others DNA, failure is often just around the corner. That is why the alliance between Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini is such an exciting one because it has everything but is lacking the logos!

Bovet is a brand known to go above and beyond to create the most exceptional complications. However, they are also dedicated to bringing them to life in a very engaging and mesmerizing way. That makes a Bovet not only instantly recognizable but also stand out in the world of the Haute Horlogerie.

A Nautilus is by any means a desirable watch, but even among its peers, some rank higher on the scale than others. This also depends on what type of collector you are. Some want the very first version, while others prefer a more recent edition with complications. For those who want something really, really rare, is this platinum Nautilus is right up their alley!

Over the last few years, we have seen a trend of ladies watches getting more and more complicated. With this, the watch brands fuel on one side the growing interest among women for these type of watches, while at the same time cater to those who are already ready to add such a watch to their own collection. Van Cleef & Arpels has built a reputation for creating very elegant watches with unusual complications, which they themselves refer to so nicely as poetic.

At first glance, the Slim d'Hermes L'Heure Impatiente is your typical Hermes watch. Especially the font of the numerals and the shape of the lugs contribute to this unmistakable style. But on second glance: what are those indicators at the bottom of the dial, and why does it have not only an extra crown but also a pusher on the left side of the case? Because this Hermes comes with a very unique complication!

The beauty about perfection is that it often looks so easy. This is quite deceiving as getting to this point means that you need to be one of the best in the industry and an absolute master of your chosen craft. Jaeger-LeCoultre is just that, as it is a manufacture whose name is even spoken with great respect by its competitors.

When Piaget launched their Polo S-collection, it was the reintroduction of stainless steel in their men's collection after the Upstream. Earlier this year the brand expanded the number of styles that the watch is available in, now introducing precious metal cases, as well as leather straps.

Omega has a knack for making extraordinary, limited editions of the Speedmaster. With its rich history, there is a lot of inspiration available and with the Speedmaster "Dark Side Of The Moon' Apollo 8, the brand takes this to the next level! It was in 1968, that the crew of the Apollo 8 became the first humans to ever see the dark side of the moon, hence the theme of this watch!

When a watch brand is collaborating with an artist, they take a considerable wrist. Artists are by nature free-spirited people who have a vision of how their work should look, and when they get free reign over a watch, the DNA of the brand itself can be greatly compromised. Hublot was also exposed to this risk when they collaborated with Richard Orlinski, and while his design did give them some production challenges.
