Diamonds have the power to transform the look of a watch completely. It can give sportive watches a touch of elegance, where it makes quite a difference if the understated baguette-cut is selected, or the more vibrant brilliant cut, while a mixture of both has an appeal of its own as well. For Hublot, diamonds are also part of the 'Art of Fusion,' as they seamlessly integrate them in the following four stunning watches;

The small town of Glashütte, located in the beautiful region of Saxony, Germany, has a population of just over 7,000 people. Despite this, it is the beating heart of German watchmaking, with the manufacturers of Nomos, Tutima, Moritz Grossmann, A. Lange & Söhne, and Glashütte Original all located within the city limits. Glashütte Original holds a unique position among them, with a collection that contains watches in both a sportive as well as classic Glashütte style, all with manufacture movements.

Luxury automobile maker Rolls-Royce has revealed a brand-new visual identity for the first time in 20 years, launching in September.

When you work with some of the world's most accomplished athletes, you can count on it that they will take your watches through their paces. For Richard Mille, this is exactly how he likes it, as it challenges him time after time again to take things to the next level. Nadal, who won 19 Grand Slam Singles titles, wears his Richard Mille also on the court. This means that the RM 35-02 not only needs to be very light but also very strong.

'One More Wave' is a unique charity that helps wounded and disabled veterans with customized surfing equipment and connects them to a worldwide community of volunteers to catch some waves together and relish their therapeutic power. These surfboards are all handmade in the workshop of 'One More Wave' in San Diego, California.

They can do this thanks to volunteers, donations, sponsors, and partners like Ulysse Nardin and Watches of Switzerland.

Platinum has the reputation of being the most prized of all the precious metals. In luxury watchmaking, it is often only used for top-of-the-line models. Here they often create a contradiction, as the appearance of polished platinum is rather understated. Grand Seiko takes a different approach for their Grand Seiko Elegance SBGZ001, which is crafted in their renowned Micro Artist Studio.

Gold prices have, in recent weeks, reached new record highs. In times of uncertainty, people tend to go back to old standards. Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, we already saw a renewed interest in gold-cased watches. This trend was, to some extent, also fueled by watch brands creating their own alloys, which gave them a unique edge in a very competitive market.

The partnership between Lamborghini's Squadra Corse and Roger Dubuis is a strong one because the DNA of both brands is so similar. When Lamborghini powers up to create its first, limited edition, track0only hypercar, Roger Dubuis has no problem keeping the pace with a hyper watch to match.

Partnerships are part of Hublot's DNA, and many of them are continuing adventures in which they explore what hasn't done before in watchmaking. This is also the case with the partnership that they have with Maxime Plescia-Büchi, the Swiss tattoo artist and founder of Sang Bleu. When his signature designs are transformed in watches, they become tattoos that not only you can take off, but which also tell time.

The history of Cartier is filled with many incredible watches, often in unique shapes. Over the years, many have become icons of 'La Maison' and gathered quite a few fans along the way. Others remain somewhat of a mystery, as they are so rare that they hardly ever come up for sale, and are often not more than a footnote in most books. This is also the case with the Tank à Guichets, with its novel way of indicating the time.

While no official standards are indicating when a watch can be called (ultra-)thin, it is reasonably easy to pass your judgment about it. The heights of both the movement and the watch itself are common knowledge for most watches, and can therefore be compared to the record-holders in a specific category. Especially in recent years thin movements, and watches, have become en vogue again, as many people realized that in a sense they represent the nec plus ultra of the watch industry. Watches like the Bulgari Octo Finissimo also showed that it is not only classic dress watches that can benefit from this. Even the cool-factor of a modern-looking watch for every day, and every occasion, increases significantly when powered by an ultra-thin movement. Leave it to the following four watches to that thin is in.
