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.

Ever wonder how a watch looks that has nothing left to prove? Then look no further than the Zenith Elite Chronograph Classic! An utterly understated creation that will elevate the pulse of those people who know, but will probably be completely ignored by those who have little passion for watchmaking. That by itself can be a reason to strap this watch around your wrist, but there are so many more!

The Saxonia Dual Time from A. Lange & Söhne is in many ways a very discreet watch. This starts with its size. Measuring just 38.5 millimeters in diameter, and with a height of only 9.1 millimeters, is this watch modestly sized. On the wrist, it wears slightly larger as the vast majority of its diameter is dedicated to the dial. While also available in pink gold, the white gold version adds even further to its discretion.

Designing a watch for men that looks both elegant yet masculine is quite the task, especially in the 21st century. With the Globemaster, Omega tackled that challenge by giving a new interpretation of some celebrated design aspects of the watches from their rich past. By this, they avoid going into full retro-mode, yet did create a modern-day watch with a fresh yet recognizable appearance.

With its Marine-collection has Ulysse Nardin created a very recognizable and refreshingly different watch with a nautical theme. It has been around now long enough to justify as a classic of its own, and the model forms one of the pillars of the brand. While the time-only is a very tempting watch, the chronograph offers just that added bit of dynamic that many watch connoisseurs appreciate so much.

When it comes to diving watches, Rolex has quite the reputation to uphold as they have not one, but two gold-references in this category in their collection. The Submariner and Sea-Dweller might soon have to tolerate a third Rolex joining their ranks, as the Deepsea is working hard on accomplishing this. For 2018 Rolex launched a slightly revised version of this watch, making it even better than before!

When you have something to celebrate, you better do it right! That is what Grand Seiko must have thought when they created the Blue Ceramic Hi-beat GMT “Special” Limited Edition to mark the 20th anniversary of their highly acclaimed 9S-movement. With a diameter of 46.4mm, and being 14.6mm thick, Grand Seiko has created a serious sports watch, fully committed to performance and wearing comfort.

What is exceptional for many other brands is standard for F.P. Journe. There are very few watch brands that they can be compared to, as they walk to their own beat. In Journe's case, that means to strive for the best, each and every day, and that results in exceptional watches, like this Octa Divine.

Earlier this year Cartier had quite a few surprises for us in store: not only did they release an updated version of the Santos de Cartier, but they also introduced a skeleton version which was not only available in pink gold but also in stainless steel.

Our watch of the week is actually a series of watches, as Vacheron Constantin took everybody's breath away last SIHH by introducing five versions of the Métiers d'Art Les Aérostiers. These watches pay tribute to the early days of aviation when hot air balloons where the first means for humankind to explore the earth from above.

Golf is a demanding sport as it requires a combination of power and finesse and extended periods of high concentration. On watches, it puts extra stress because as the club hits the ball, the vibrations can have a negative impact on a mechanical watch. At the same time the watch should also not interfere with the performance of the golfer, especially not when you play at the highest level, such as Dustin Johnson for who Hublot created this exceptional watch.

Breitling is making rapid adjustments to its course under its new CEO Georges Kern. The wings came off the logo, and their focus is now on taking their legendary past into the future. One of the watches that they are trying to accomplish this with is the Navitimer 8 B01 Chronograph 43. An imposing watch, especially in red gold.

Vintage inspired watches usually go back to the mid-1900's. For many iconic watches, this was the time they were first brought to the market. That also goes for the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe, which was launched in 1956, three years after the original Fifty Fathoms. While this was an exciting time with beautiful designs, another era is also known for its unique, and often bold, creations: the 1970's.

This year the large date joined, once again, the Saxonia collection of A. Lange & Söhne, and it might be a watch a lot of watch connoisseurs have been waiting for. It combines A. Lange & Söhne 's purest design with their iconic oversized date. The result is an epiphany of German style and class, now in a slightly large package than the original dating back from 1994.

Anniversaries are there to be celebrated, and when you are a watch brand the best way to do so is by introducing new watches! That is exactly what Jaeger-LeCoultre did earlier this year when it celebrated the 50th anniversary of the famed Memovox Polaris. Of course, does the line-up include a modern version of this iconic alarm watch, but Jaeger-LeCoultre let it accompanied by a world-time chronograph and a time-only model, as well as this chronograph version.

Luxury watch manufacturer Parmigiani Fleurier strengthens its partnership with the luxury supercar brand Bugatti in the Type 390 timepiece.
