IWC Schaffhausen and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team have unveiled the first official team watch for the debut of the Miami Grand Prix.

The pandemic has not slowed down the development of new watches. Also this year, many brands launched new creations, proving that creativity and technical advancement has not been halted. It also seems that particularly this year, more time was taken to reexamine one's strengths and make new models that truly represent the brand's DNA. This resulted in captivating watches that represent, yet also defy, time, like the following;

In their pursuit of perfection, Grand Seiko developed a style of its own, guided by nine principles. The first watch made accordingly was the iconic 44GS, which was launched in 1967. Today, this instantly recognizable style has fans all around the world and led Grand Seiko to become one of the most renowned names in high-end watchmaking. To mark the 55th anniversary of the "Grand Seiko Style," the brand launched a Hi-Beat GMT model, limited to 1,200 pieces.

2022 is already starting on a high note, as Greubel Forsey is releasing the first piece of their new collection for next year. While watches from this brand are always exceptional, the Balancier S2 is even a bit more. It is continuing the legacy of complex sports watches that the brand established with its predecessors, the GMT Sport and the Balancier S. What the brand did with this watch was to distill the best parts of the original Balancier and make them even purer.

With the Fifty Fathoms became Blancpain one of the pioneers in the field of diving watches, but also in the sky, they are a trailblazer. With the Air Command, originally launched in the mid-1950s, they were part of a new era of rapid developments in aviation. Past, present, and future are now united in the new Air Command that Blancpain launched today.

Titanium has always been an intriguing material to craft watches from. It didn't become widely used in the world of watches until the 1980s, but today it is embraced by a wide variety of brands. Some polish it to perfection, giving it a look similar to that of stainless steel, but in a brushed finish, the deep grey tone that is so typical for titanium tends to give watches a more technical look. This is also the case with the new Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe that Blancpain recently introduced.

Grammy-award-winning music artist and producer Swizz Beatz is a serious watch connoisseur. His excellent taste and understanding of the watch industry and its heritage have led to some fantastic collaborations in the past. Now he joins forces with De Bethune, yet in quite a different way. In 2020 he challenged master watchmaker and brand founder Denis Flageollet to create a watch that unites some signature features of previous De Bethune creations into a unique timepiece. Form and function should go hand in hand, with a focus on beauty, legibility, and user-friendliness. What Swizz Beatz dreamed, Flageollet and his team made a reality in Dream Watch 5.

Hublot and Berluti have fused fashion and watchmaking, leather and titanium, form and substance.

DJ Snake, the most streamed French artist in the world, joins forces with Hublot to unveil an exclusive creation.

Roger Dubuis has made quite a name for itself with its Double Flying Tourbillon movements. However, they also offer an enticing Single Flying Tourbillon. With that watch, the brand proves that being single ain't such a bad thing. They completely redesigned the model, keeping its familiar profile but updating both the movement as well as the case.

The Freak X is a watch that already makes a powerful visual impact. With part of its gear train placed on the dial side, accompanied by a high-tech flying carrousel, is it a true horological delicacy that won't go unnoticed. With the new Freak X Razzle Dazzle makes Ulysse Nardin the watch, even more, an eyecatcher. The pattern is reminiscent of that of zebra's, who use it to conceal themselves and confuse their predators. Especially in World War I, the British Royal Navy painted their ships with a similar pattern, hoping to confuse enemy ships to such extent that it was hard(er) for them to place a hit. It later on also became quite a popular pattern within the art scene.

The Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T is a watch unlike any other. While it may be the least expensive, Swiss-made flying tourbillon with a chronograph on the market today, you wouldn't know. No corners are cut in creating it, as is evident from the finishing, wearing comfort, and that the movement is Chronometer-certified as well. Therefore, it cannot come as a surprise that the watch has been quite a success after its introduction in 2016, and now a new addition joins the line-up.

When it comes to historically important events, Longines was often in the middle of it. In particular, when it comes to aviation history. As the concept of aircraft matured in the 1920s, planes became more common, powerful, and able to fly higher as well as longer distances. This also meant the introduction of new problems, like how to determine your exact location when airborne. To do this a very precise watch was an absolute necessity, as time was used to navigate. In 1929 Navy Captain Phillip Van Horn Weems teamed up with Longines to develop a special system for a watch that would make it easier to navigate. While initially created for use at sea, it was quickly adopted by aviators alike. One of those aviators was Charles A. Lindbergh, who was in 1927 the first man to fly non-stop from the North-America to Europe. He later on also designed a watch with Longines, which became the legendary Hour Angle, aimed at making navigation in aircraft easier and more reliable.

The tale of King Arthur and his legendary knights has captivated generations and was, for Roger Dubuis, the inspiration to create the Knights of the Round Table. The watches in this collection are quite unique, as Roger Dubuis took an artistic approach, in which they combine craftsmanship with the use of disruptive materials.
