With SIHH only a short week away some trends can already be established from the pre-releases of the brands participating. One of them is the continuation of a phenomenon that we have seen develop over the last few years; the rise of watches with a blue dial. In fact, we are getting to the point that we can hardly call it a trend anymore, but more the new normal as blue seems to be here to stay in full force. These blue dial beauties will hit the boutiques in 2019!

The eyes of the world where once again on Hollywood, as the 76th edition of the Golden Globe Awards took place. There was fierce competition, as the quality of the nominated films and performances was very high. On the red carpet, there was also quite some competition on who dressed the most memorable. Many of Hollywood's finest knew perfectly to amplify their personal style with a dashing outfit. And of course, no outfit would be complete without a watch to match!

They keep on coming! Cartier just announced four amazing limited editions that will join their collection in 2019. They not only highlight La Maison's exceptional finesse when it comes to the shape of watch cases but also their heritage as one of the world's leading jewelers is perfectly showcased.

Not quite round and not quite rectangular, the cushion-shaped watch is like the little black dress of timepieces—it’s universally flattering on any wrist. Whether you prefer sporty, casual, or dressy, here are four cushion watches to cozy up to this season.

When 2019 has barely started, SIHH is scheduled to open its doors. From January 14th to 18th the exhibiting brands will delight us with the most mesmerizing new creations. Traditionally many of those brands also launch a few new watches before the show. While impressive, they usually keep the real fireworks until the fair itself. Given the very high level of the watches that they have already introduced, 2019 is bound to going to be an amazing year in watches!

Spoiled by a long summer, most people living in the northern hemisphere now have to deal with lower temperatures, and in some cases even snow. This sets the scenery for the upcoming holidays, and with that also for these watches, which go very well with a bit of winter wonderland!

When you say Cartier, you also say cats, big cats to be precise, as they have been for decades a rich source of inspiration for the brand. A big influence in this was Jeanne Toussaint (1887 - 1978) who became the brand's director of jewelry design in 1933. The story goes that she was on safari in Africa with Louis Cartier when they encountered a panther. She immediately envisioned a piece of jewelry, as she apparently exclaimed: 'Diamonds, onyx, emeralds; a brooch!.' When back in Paris, she immediately went to work, and a legend was born!

Apparently, they make for the perfect combination, as especially in the high-end part of the watch world it is hard to find a ladies watch that is not adorned with diamonds. This clear connection makes it especially in the Western part of the world very difficult for brands to sell watches set with diamonds to men, even when placed on a more masculine watch. For women diamonds are almost a must yet the way the brands incorporate them into their designs greatly differs.

Especially since we are moving into autumn, the appeal of warm colored gold seems to be at a height. These hues have an even warmer tint and glow to it than traditional 18 karat yellow gold. Its popularity has been on the rise for quite a few years now, and many brands utilize its rich appearance to create exceptional watches. But what are these types of gold exactly?

Square watches are not always the most popular choice, but when it’s done right donning straight edges on your wrist is a refreshing change of pace.
