A Haute Time favorite from the collection, the F.P.Journe Chronographe Rattrapante in titanium grade, 5 is the ultimate sports watch.

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:

In less than a week, we will be welcoming not only a new year but the start of a new decade. As we say goodbye to the 2010s and usher in 2020, there are already a handful of freshly announced watches on our wish list. Here are four new watches to covet in the coming new year.

Records are there to be broken, but who would have thought that this would happen last weekend at Christies' in Geneva, Switzerland in such a spectacular way? There the biennial auction to support the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Only Watch, took place. It consisted out of 50 one-of-a-kind watches donated by the respective brands. The auction raised a very impressive CHF 38,593,000,- of which CHF 31,000,000,- was contributed by the sale of a single watch; the only stainless steel Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A-010.

A picture can sometimes say more than a thousand words. At Haute Time, we have the privilege of having the world's most exclusive, rare, desirable, and expensive watches in front of the lenses of our camera's. Over the years this has resulted in an archive filled with the most amazing photos; time for a little flashback!

The biennial Only Watch charity auction is gearing up for the 2019 edition, slated to take place in November. For those who are not familiar with this event, Only Watch auctions off one-of-a-kind models created by some of the best watch brands in the business with proceeds going to fund research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Last year F.P. Journe launched its Centigraphe and Automatique Réserve in titanium, a material that most certainly suits two of the most sportive watches of the brand. However, precious metals have always played a very important part in the universe of Journe, as gold is even his material of choice to craft movements from. It is, therefore, more than fitting that he now introduces both models in platinum as well as in 18k 6N gold.

What is exceptional for many other brands is standard for F.P. Journe. There are very few watch brands that they can be compared to, as they walk to their own beat. In Journe's case, that means to strive for the best, each and every day, and that results in exceptional watches, like this Octa Divine.

This Saturday evening, Christie's in Geneva was the stage for ONLY WATCH 2017, a charity auction in which the proceeds are being used to help find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Watch brands donate unique watches to the auction, giving collectors and connoisseurs the opportunity to own a truly unique watch. While all watches did well, some did a bit better than others!

Both companies are known for producing a small number of high-end hand-crafted timepieces with nearly all of the components built in house

Say the name Journe, and many watch enthusiasts will get instantly excited, as the Master-watchmaker from Geneva has built an impressive reputation based on equally impressive watches. It is however not always the complications that do the talking, as this Chronometre Souverain shows.

A titanium chronograph doesn't sound like something François-Paul Journe would make, yet he does, but of course, it is not just any titanium chronograph.

What makes a luxury watch so luxurious? The answer to that can be found in the details. Creating a watch is not that difficult, but making it refined more so. That is why Audemars Piguet advertising slogan, "To Break The Rules, You Must First Master Them",
