When it comes to perpetual calendars does IWC has quite the reputation to uphold. It was mainly thanks to master watchmaker Kurt Klaus that this became one of the brand's signature complications. While we can especially credit the Da Vinci for achieving this in the first, putting the perpetual calendar in a 'Pilots'-watch, another thing IWC became famous for, only further enhanced its popularity. While a perpetual calendar is, in essence, a very classic complication, this gives it a contemporary edge.

The Swiss not only know how to make watches, they also know how to sail. Alinghi has been most successful at it, winning the America's Cup, one of the world's most demanding sailing competitions, not once but twice. These are not their only achievements as they have on their mantle eight D35 Trophies, won the Bol d'Or seven times, and were victorious in four Extreme Sailing Series championships. Since 2019 Omega is their timing partner, which they now celebrate with a watch. This is not a Seamaster as one would expect, but surprisingly a Speedmaster.

In the world of Panerai, there is no such thing as a small watch. For many years, the Panerai-life started at a diameter of 44mm and above. These times have changed, as slowly but surely, the brand introduces more modest size siblings of its iconic watches. This includes the Submersible, a model that even among other Panerai used to impose with its generous diameter and thickness. The Submersible PAM00959 still impresses, yet now with a diameter of only 42mm.

There was a time, not so long ago, when green was a rare color to encounter on a watch. Now it seems to follow firmly into the footsteps of blue. This color was once a bold statement next to black and silver dialed watches but has now become another staple. In the past few years, we have seen many more watches that feature green dials and details. Will this color now become a common option, instead of a trend, especially now also TAG Heuer and Blancpain launch new watches featuring it so prominently?

The summer of 2020 looks for many people quite different than what they had imagined. We are used to visiting exotic places far away from home, yet now many of us are forced to find sites for relaxing and recreation closer to home. Hublot is, however, determined to keep the summer vibes alive with their new Big Bang Unico Sky Blue.

As a brand, Omega has no shortage of pedigree. Both the Seamaster and the Speedmaster have been around for decades while enjoying continuous success. While these are the collections that often grab the headlines, the brand also has a third success story, as the Constellation enjoys an equally rich and long heritage. It has always been a watch that offered a sense of elegance with a sportive touch. This became especially true when in 1982, Omega introduced the bezel with the four claws, which have grown to become a signature feature of the Constellation. Now Omega is adding even more flavor to this collection with new gentleman's models.

The chronograph is among the most popular complications. Many of them have reached the status of being an icon, often for very different reasons. As there are so many chronographs to choose from, here is a short-list of four that any serious watch collector should consider adding to its collection.

With the cancelation of Baselworld, it could have very well been a year in which Patek Philippe wouldn't launch a single new watch. However, that is fortunately not the case, as they introduce not one, but three new grand complications. While some are varieties on already existing watches, they all bring something new to the table that makes them very desirable.

Online brand boutiques are more and more, becoming a pillar of success to many brands. Especially the Covid-19 pandemic has magnified the benefits that they can reap from it, also because clients seem to be increasingly more comfortable to purchase their high-end timepieces online, directly from the brand. Zenith already had quite an extensive online boutique for the European market but is now expanding this, with the launch for the United States. To mark the occasion, they also introduce a new limited edition of the Defy with it.

Time flies when having fun, as it is hard to believe that TAG Heuer is already into the third-generation of their Connected watch. After since it was first introduced, it quickly became a benchmark for the industry. Not only because of its practical use and intuitive controls but also because the watch itself can be very easily customized to meet your own style. In regards to this, TAG Heuer has ever further up their game with the introduction of new models, interchangeable straps, and some new watch faces to welcome the summer.
