In a relatively short period of time, Cartier has put itself forward as one of the experts when it comes to skeleton watches. Thanks to an innovative approach to this craft, the brand has been able to embed it in its DNA. One of the ways that they have been able to do this is by connecting it to another hallmark of them; the Roman numerals. By crafting the bridges in their shape, and organizing the different parts of the movement below them, a very expressive watch is created in the process, especially when this movement is fitted in the case of the Santos de Cartier.

Earlier this year Bugatti introduced La Voiture Noire at the Geneva Motor Show making top of the list as the most expensive new car to ever be released.

With vintage watches, the value is often a numbers game. It is an equation that combines desirability with rarity. When it comes to the first you can hardly do any better than Patek Philippe. For the latter, not even all rare watches are created equal. Some were just produced in small numbers, while others may have unique features that set them apart from the rest. In the case of this Reference 530, it is a combination of those two aspects that make it so very special.

Brilliant Flying Tourbillon models to get you into the swing of spring.

Few watches are as well proportioned as the Langematick Perpetual from A. Lange & Söhne. With a diameter of 38.5 mm it is rather modest in size. Combined with a height of 10.2 mm it sits extremely comfortable on the wrist, yet still packs a punch because of its expressive design. The watch features a perpetual calendar with large date, moon phase and 24-hour indicator. All this information is presented in a very balanced and legible way, which is definitely an important part of the charm of this A. Lange & Söhne.

The latest watch is the first in a trilogy entitled "Sky, Earth, Sea."

Marketing plays an important role in the world of watches. While often genuine, there is sometimes a bit of an overkill, making it that some models are presented with much more pedigree than they actually have. As to many watch enthusiasts historic credibility plays an important factor in their purchase decisions is it not so strange that this happens. In 'Pure Pedigree' we zoom in to the true history of some of the worlds most iconic watches, starting with Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms.

Can a classic be contemporary? Maybe not in the strict sense of the word, but with its reference 3797 Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon, is Breguet most certainly making a case that this is indeed possible. It utilizes traditional craftsmanship yet brings it together in such a way that this classic watch has a contemporary edge.

The Freak is in many ways what Ulysse Nardin is all about: It is innovative in terms of design as well as technical execution. When the original version of the Freak was introduced in 2001, it was the very first watch in commercial production that used parts made from silicon. Because it is fitted with a flying carousel, those elements were also clearly visible. In the little under two decades that the Freak is now part of the Ulysse Nardin collection, the watch has evolved in many ways, with as latest addition the Freak X.

In the luxury watch realm, there are a handful of icons that go by a single name without needing a reminder of which brand makes it—and the legendary Navitimer is most certainly one of them. Launched in 1952 with a slide-rule bezel to compute complex navigational calculations, the Navitimer was designed with professional pilots in mind. A particularly popular vintage Navi is the “All-Black” 806 from 1959. So to celebrate 60 years of that cult classic, Breitling presented the Navitimer Ref. 806 1959 Re-Edition.

The new Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster is the latest addition to the AMG GT group, and both its design and technology continue to bring appeal to the growing class.
