Working hard and playing hard are synonymous with Loren and JR Ridinger, highlighted in the superyacht Utopia IV. The new 63 meter luxury yacht designed for the Ridingers is a unique performing superyacht with a sporty essence and great attitude.

Today Grand Seiko launched in collaboration with Watches of Switzerland an exciting new watch, the Toge Special Edition, that embodies elements from both Japan, as well as the United Kingdom, the home country of the watch retailer. It features many unique elements, most noticeably its dial, which has Grand Seiko's signature Mount Iwate motif, yet now in British racing green. It is combined with a warm gold tone for the GMT-function, which gives the watch a dynamic appearance, as well as making it very easy to read.

How thin can you go? For Piaget, this has been a question that they have been answering since the late 1950s, and early 1960s when they already set records with their manual wind caliber 9P and automatic caliber 12P. At the time, the goal wasn't purely to create the thinnest watch on the market, but more to give Piaget's designers as much freedom as possible when they create their timepieces. When we fast forward to today, we see a slightly different perspective. While Piaget's ultra-slim movements still give freedom to its designers and find their way in beautiful watches, being thin has gotten an appeal of its own.

A. Lange & Söhne CEO Wilhelm Schmid joined Haute Time in the latest edition of "Talking Time" for a conversation on the importance of time, the digital shift in the watch world, and the brand's latest releases.

It was 1992 when Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced a collection that would grow on to become one of the pillars of the brand. The watches of the Master Control collection all featured a restrained design, giving them an understated appearance. This was the way that Jaeger-LeCoultre demonstrated its excellence, as everybody familiar with them, knew that these watches where fitted with some of the best movements in the industry. Almost three decades later, little has changed, as the new Master Control collection is once again prone to become a benchmark.

The Grande Seconde has always been an essential model in the collection of Jaquet Droz because it represents, in many ways, the essence of the brand. With its clean design and oversized sub-dial for the seconds, is it a watch that is instantly recognizable. The Grande Seconde Quantième added to that a date indicator, which Jaquet Droz incorporated in the design in such a way that it adds even more charisma. A tempting watch was the result, but with a diameter of 43mm, also a watch that was rather generous in size.

Last year Lange & Söhne surprised us by introducing the Odysseus, not only the brand's first sports watch, but also their first regular-production timepiece in stainless steel. On the dial, it combined a large date with a day-indicator as well, while a subdial for the seconds gave the watch a touch of vintage flair. These ingredients haven't changed for the latest addition to the collection, apart from the fact that it is now crafted from white gold, features a new color dial, and comes on a rubber strap.

Haute Time goes live with Roger Dubuis CEO Nicola Andreatta on Zoom to discuss the brand going digital, Watches & Wonders, the industry's future and more.

Haute Time had the opportunity to have a one-on-one webinar with Irish football legend Robbie Keane and the watch industry's top names, Rick de la Croix.

This year will be not a Mother's Day as usual. In many countries, people can't take their mother out for lunch or even visit her due to the restrictions concerning the Covid-19 pandemic. Yet that doesn't mean that Mother's Day 2020 is canceled. There are still many ways in which we can surprise our mothers, and perhaps now is the time to treat her on a very special watch, to underscore not only how you feel about her, but also the importance of time, especially time shared together. One of the following four watches might be the perfect option:

What started 70 years ago as an extraordinary watch for elite forces of the Italian navy during WWII has become one of the most recognizable and popular sports watches. The Panerai Luminor paved the way for oversized watches and has earned its position as an icon. However, Panerai never allowed the Luminor rest on its laurels, but instead used it as their preferred platform to push the envelope, either with complicated movements or with innovative materials. The latter is also what they used for the three special models of the Luminor that Panerai created to celebrate its 70th anniversary.

2020 marks the return of the Pasha de Cartier, which also happens to celebrate its 35th birthday. The watch was initially launched in 1985 and one of the great successes of the brand. It was created by Gerald Genta, who cleverly combined the Vendome-lugs, designed and patented by Louis Cartier in 1934, with a round case and a prominent canteen-crown. It resulted in a very expressive watch that today hasn't lost any of its appeal.

A goal was scored by Haute Time as we welcomed the timekeeping legend, and CEO of MLG Group, Rick de la Croix, and English former footballer Rio Ferdinand for a chat about the "Beautiful Game" and quarantine days.

A moon phase display is among the oldest complications in watches. Despite the fact that their practical use is limited, do they remain very popular. With good reason, as a moon phase is adding some old school appeal to a watch as well as a touch of romance. At the first edition of Watches & Wonders Geneva, this complication was therefor also generously present, and we are especially over the moon of the following four watches

IWC has crowned 2020 as the year of the Portugieser, and that means that we can welcome lots and lots of new additions to this collection. Some are just revamped versions of old favorites, but many are also entirely new watches, some with innovative complications.

This past weekend, Haute Yachts held a virtual "deck-side" conversation with The Yacht Guy and Florida Yachts International Owner and Brand Ambassador Ralph Navarro on the yachting industry's latest as quarantine and restrictions are close to being lifted.
