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.

This weekend it is time for some action again in Geneva, as Phillips will be having its November auction. As is usual, there are many highlights among the 226 lots that will hopefully be welcomed by their new owners. As always, the selection is remarkably diverse, but also very high-end not only in terms of make and model but also in terms of quality. Here are a few lots that caught our eye!

Characterized by concentric circles that divide a watch dial into multi-toned sections, sector dials were a popular style in the early part of the 20th century.

Square watches are not always the most popular choice, but when it’s done right donning straight edges on your wrist is a refreshing change of pace.

As students are heading back to school in droves armed with new supplies, clothes, and shoes to flaunt on campus, get into the spirit of the season with a fine timepiece that’ll earn you an A+ for style.

From Cartier to Vacheron Constantin, a handful of watch manufacturers are offering a way for clients to customize luxury timepieces right from the source.

Some watches are big for the sake of being big. Other then a large diameter they have very little to offer. There is, however, a category of watches that not only uses all the real estate they have available, but they also need it! They feature movements that fill the case and require large dials to show a multitude of complications in a fashionable order. They are the behemoths of the Haute Horlogerie, and they are large for a good reason!

Recently we already discussed how the tourbillon turned from a relatively obscure device to increase the precision of a watch or clock, to the favorite complication of collectors. Nowadays there is a wide variety of different tourbillons, but in this article, we are exploring the most traditional configuration, the one in which the back of the tourbillon is secured on the main plate, with a bridge securing the front.

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.

Summer is here, and that means that the lives of most people tend to move more to the outdoors. Pools and beaches, dining al fresco, go sailing or simply sit down and relax in the garden, these five watches will perfectly match your summer mood!

It must be painful to the other sex, but women have a far larger range of watches to choose from. While many men immediately look elsewhere when there is even a hint that a certain model might also be worn by the fairer sex, women do not have these issues. In fact,

With the release of a reverse 'Panda-dial' version did Vacheron Constantin's sportiest watch, the Overseas Chronograph, just got a whole lot...sportier. This watch once again proves what a difference a dial can make! While the Overseas has already twenty years a firm place in Vacheron Constantin collection, the current generation didn't arrive until 2016. In comparison to previous versions, it made the Overseas more contemporary in its styling, and with the new reverse 'Panda-dial' does Vacheron Constantin extend this feeling even further.

Last year after Baselworld I wrote an article about the many beautiful blue dials that caught my eye. This trend continues to live on, as also at this years SIHH, there where blue dials galore, including some very special one!

As a Grad-Feu enameller, Vanessa Lecci hand-paints enamel dials for the likes of Vacheron Constantin, Hublot, Parmigiani Fleurier, and JeanRichard1861.

It is not uncommon to remake something decades after it was first launched....at least, in the car world. Aston Martin did it not too long ago with the DB4GT, and Jaguar just announced that it will make another 25 D-Types, which they stopped producing in 1956. In the watch world, this is a bit more uncommon, yet Vacheron Constantin did something similar with this chronograph in 1990, at the request of a client.
