Diving watches are often among the most robust creations of the watch world. The demands put on these watches are usually extreme, that is when you are a professional diver. For the amateur diver or people who don't dive at all, these features are often not needed to the extent that they are created. However, their impact on the look of the watch makes it that they have become, and remain, very popular. These four watches are perfect examples of extreme diving watches that also make a statement outside of the water.

When it comes to men's watches, most brands expanded their lineup during the 2019 edition of Baselworld with some solid additions. Some of them favoured evolution over revolution, further perfecting what are already great watches, while others developed breathtaking technical novelties. One of the great difficulties of any fair, and especially Baselworld, is to pick from this wide array of often very different watches the favorites that truly stand out.

Purely based on the numbers, Baselworld is not in very good shape. While the departure of the Swatch Group grabbed the headline, the exodus of participants has been far greater. This year there were only 520 exhibitors, down from over 1.500 in 2016. But these numbers don't tell the whole story, as the 2019 edition might be much more compact, many major players were still there, and contributed in delivering a worthwhile experience.

Sometimes progress is not that obvious. Especially in the world of watches details can make all the difference. Subtle changes have been part of the industry since its conception, and often fuel a constant evolution of excellence. Small varieties in finishing, color, or materials ensure an ever-expanding universe with even more, and better, options for watch enthusiasts to choose from. These watches are also an intricate part of Baselworld and often offer much more then meets the eye!

Watches of Switzerland is on a rapid U.S. expansion and has opened its latest stunning boutique at the revolutionary Hudson Yards retail complex in NYC.

Style without substance is pointless, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't put any efforts in the way you dress and look. Dressing well is a sign of respect, towards others, but also yourself. This is also not necessarily always in a suit or a tie, as in today's world you can be just as professional in a more casual outfit. Of course, your watch game has to be on point, but with the four watches below that is not a problem.

By and large, Rolex watches have established themselves as icons in the fine timepiece space by sticking to signature design hallmarks while continuously improving. The improvements have occurred gradually over the years and the brand’s evolutionary rather than revolutionary approach has certainly paid off. This method probably explains why when a Rolex oddball shows up on the auction block, it will likely turn heads and open wallets

It has happened to many watch collectors; they look over a list of watches that have been auctioned off only to realise that they didn't buy a specific model years ago when its prices were much more modest. It remains very complex to determine beforehand which watches will show a strong value over the years. Rarity plays a role, as well who made the watch, but as the Paul Newman Daytona probably proofs best, they might currently not even be among the most popular timepieces available! These four watches might be up there one day:

The eyes of the world where once again on Hollywood, as the 76th edition of the Golden Globe Awards took place. There was fierce competition, as the quality of the nominated films and performances was very high. On the red carpet, there was also quite some competition on who dressed the most memorable. Many of Hollywood's finest knew perfectly to amplify their personal style with a dashing outfit. And of course, no outfit would be complete without a watch to match!

This is it, the last week of the year! It’s time to say farewell to 2018 and usher in the New Year in style. If your calendar is full of fancy festivities over the next few days, then look to one of these four formal black watches to complement any black tie dress code.

There is no shortage of beautiful ladies watches, but when you are looking one that supports an active lifestyle, the list gets considerably shorter. There are only a few watches that you can take through their paces without having to think twice about it and which look good while doing so. These four, for example, got you covered!

Part of the appeal of the earlier Rolex Submariners is that they transport you to a different time. A time in which these type of watches where worn by people who mainly bought them as a tool for their chosen profession. People that explored the world, that went to places, and in case of the Submariner, depths that no human being has gone before. That appeal can still be found in this Rolex, but especially in the earlier models.

When it comes to calendar watches, ones that display the day of the week along with the date of the month are perennial favorites. Unlike some other watch complications, the day-date is actually a useful one, even in today’s modernized world.

Bringing together two different colored metals on one watch is certainly not new in the luxury watch landscape. However, the use of rose gold rather than more traditional yellow gold to sit alongside stainless steel is a fresher approach to two-tone timepieces.
