Its affiliations with aviation, car racing and diving are what give it a defiant sporty edge, elements of which are conveyed through the aesthetic. And that’s exactly what makes them all the more appealing to the modern day woman.

If you want to get a true understanding of what Haute Horlogerie is all about, and what makes these watches so special, you should visit a watch manufacture, preferably from one of your favorite brands.
