Unconventional Tourbillons That Set The Pace For The Future

A tourbillon is often considered one of the most traditional complications. One thing that comes into play with this is its respectable age as it was developed by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1785 and patented in 1801. However, it took until the revival of watchmaking after the quartz crisis to be used extensively in wristwatches. Now there hardly isn't a brand that doesn't have one in its collection. Standing out can then be a challenge, but at the same time, it also offers the opportunity to innovate and pave the way for the future of this highly regarded complication.

The Hottest Skeletons For Your Closet

Halloween is here again, and that means that it is time to don yourself in your scariest outfit and celebrate. Details often make the difference between a good outfit and a great one.

These four watches would fit right in during the holiday, but will also be the rest of the year a 'skeleton' you gladly have available in your closet.

Even Before SIHH Starts One Thing Is Clear: Blue Remains The New Black!

With SIHH only a short week away some trends can already be established from the pre-releases of the brands participating. One of them is the continuation of a phenomenon that we have seen develop over the last few years; the rise of watches with a blue dial. In fact, we are getting to the point that we can hardly call it a trend anymore, but more the new normal as blue seems to be here to stay in full force. These blue dial beauties will hit the boutiques in 2019!

Haute Complication: Girard Perregaux Neo-Tourbillon Skeleton with Three Bridges

For a watch connoisseur, few things hold as much pleasure as a well-executed watch. A watch in which all details have been taken into consideration, not only as a single part but also as a part of the whole. Where every detail has been carefully crafted and finished, and put together with patience and care. When all this happens it results in a watch like the Girard Perregaux Neo-Tourbillon Skeleton with Three Bridges.

Spectacular World Time Watches: At Home Around The Globe

A GMT-watch is nice, but it only shows what time it is at home as well as in the time-zone you are currently in. With our world getting more interconnected every day for some people this might not be enough. While on the beach in Rio you might need to know if you can call a business partner in Asia, or if the markets in Europe have already closed. For that, a world time watch is most convenient, as it shows the current time around the globe.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato: Back in Business

When it comes to 1970’s sports watches the Girard-Perregaux Laureato has always been somewhat of an insider's choice. It does not have a following such as the Patek Philippe Nautilus or shares the recognizable profile of the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet. For some, that might make it even more desirable, and those among us will be pleased that Girard-Perregaux has significantly expanded its line-up.

Five Favorite Photo’s Of SIHH 2017

The SIHH gives you the opportunity to see and handle some of the most amazing new watches. All those masterpieces available at a single venue is exhilarating yet also hard work, especially for Haute Time's photographer Alex Teuscher. Light conditions are always challenging at a fair, and there is a constant pressure to finish up in time make it to the next appointment. Simultaneously it is also important to respect the subject and photograph it in an environment that it suits. In the digital age, you can, fortunately, see very quickly if you are on point, and very little things are as gratifying as ending a long yet exciting day, seeing that the fruit of your work is actually looking pretty awesome!
