It has become an Haute Time tradition: to pay attention around Halloween to an exceptional category of watches: the skeletons. They are a true balancing act, as the watchmakers want to take away as much of the material as possible, yet at the same time must not disturb the integrity of the overall movement. If they succeed, a unique watch is the result. One that allows you to admire their most inner parts, which are often only be seen by the watchmakers themselves. Not very scary, but remarkable for sure!

In a unique double interview, Haute Time dives into the world of high-tech materials, created by NTPT and Richard Mille. They deploy cutting-edge technology to create materials that are as strong as they are light. This is not an easy task, as it is very demanding on both the material producers, watch designers and -makers. In our first installment, we are talking with Aurèle Vuillemier, R&D Manager at Richard Mille.

High-end and exclusive luxury watchmaker Greubel Forsey launches its Double Balancier Sapphire timepiece, exclusively for its North American market.

While there are quite a few watches that command the status of an icon, there are fewer movements that can do the same. Even when they can do that, the vast majority is only known among a group of very dedicated collectors and no so much to the mainstream consumers. There is, however, an exception to this rule. A name that is often used synonymously for both the movement, as well as the watch that it powers: Zenith's El Primero!

McLaren Automotive, the British creator of luxury and high-performance sports cars, has revealed their stunning Ultimate Series McLaren Speedtail.

A leading driver of technological advancements has always been the military—particularly during wartime. This is especially true of timekeeping instruments given the need for coordination and precision during combat operations.

Rolex is one of the most extraordinary brands in the world. While many of its models started their life as so-called 'tool watches,' build for a particular purpose, they grew to become the pinnacle of luxury. This has resulted in a very rich history of remarkable models, in which calling favorites is not an easy task, but at least it is delightful to do!

The stunning "Namastè" by Mangusta will make her U.S debut at this year's Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Lange & Söhne is not a brand that fills the market with introduction after introduction. As a very exclusive manufacture this is simply not their style, but when they do introduce a new model, you can count on it that it is something very special!

In the world of Roger Dubuis, only the best is good enough. This also becomes clear when you look at the 'Velvet,' their collection of ladies watches. They are as rich as the fabric that inspired its name, combining exquisite craftsmanship, eye for detail as well as a superb movement, all in an original design.

Every year the SIAR, Salon Internacional Alta Relojeria, grows bigger. Held in Mexico-city, it is the stage on which bold new designs, often highlighting the unique culture of its host country are introduced. Also, this year we were not disappointed, with several incredible new watches, as well as interesting news!

As a brand, having an icon in your collection can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. While icons will generate interest and revenues, there will always be a point in which you need to move into the future, preferably with your icon, but changing it is still a very sensitive task. This was also a challenge that Chronoswiss faced with their Regulator.

The luxe Italian car brand Lamborghini released its new Aventador S Roadster meeting the needs of all car aficionados through its new benchmarks in performance and technology and customization options.

Collaborations; the watch world is full of them, but to be honest, they not always work out. More often than not it is simply putting famous names together and thinking that because of this the sales of the model will soar. But to reach true synergy both the artist as well as the brand needs to give it a lot more to take it to the next level. The following three watches are excellent examples where neither one rested on the laurels of their previous successes, but simply went to work, and worked hard, to create something truly spectacular.
