After the 2018 edition, the Swatch Group decided to leave Baselworld and launched this year a new format in which they introduced the novelties of Blancpain, Breguet, Omega, Harry Winston, Jaquet Droz and Glashütte Original. Under the name 'Time to Move' a carefully curated selection of the worldwide press, which included Haute Time, was invited to Switzerland to discover the new watches, with the exception of Glashütte Original, in the manufactures in which they where created. In an intimate setting, this allowed us to fully go into the details of each particular watch and discuss them with the people responsible for their creation. Among them where these four watches which we already crowned as our summer favourites;

Most of us have already enjoyed warm enough Spring weather to awaken that summer feeling that was slumbering there during winter. It brings the anticipation of spending days lakeside or on the beach, firing up the barbeque or dining al fresco at your favorite restaurant. These four watches will for sure help you to further get into the mood, as no summer outfit would be complete without them!

While symmetry and beauty often go hand in hand, it takes true talent to bring balance and harmony to asymmetrical designs. When done right, off-center dials on luxury watches are pure pleasure to look at.

In the German town of Glashütte, they do things slightly different when it comes to watchmaking then their Swiss cousins. This is more a matter of style than quality because some of the best watches in the world come from this part of Germany and among them the Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar.

As so many other industries do, does also the watch industry have trends. In terms of colors black, silver and white rule supreme, with a strong position for blue as well. Green, however, is definitely up and coming, taking a more prominent place among the collections of a wide variety of brands. It might be the color, but this almost always results in very charismatic creations of which these four will make quite a few people also green with envy if you are wearing one!

As a photographer, my work takes me all around the globe. While this never happens without a mechanical watch around my wrist, I have to admit that it is usually my iPhone that provides me with the right time in the timezones my colleagues and family reside. Glashütte Original is determined to change this with the new Senator Cosmopolite, which was my travel companion during a recent trip through Asia.

Baselworld 2018 was a blast, with strong new additions to the collections across all brands. While this is great news for the industry, and watch collectors and connoisseurs, it does make it quite difficult for us to pick out our favourites, but here it goes!

By the time you read this Baselworld is coming to an end. One of the main things to take from the fair is that the watch industry is recovering. We have seen a lot of great watches, across all the brands, and many of them are offered at price points that make sense in today's market. While we go more in-depth on the novelties in the upcoming weeks, here is a short preview of some of the watches we saw at Haute Time's last day at Baselworld!

One of the conclusions of the report is that large, well-funded companies that already have strong brand recognition are doing much better than smaller brands. That advantage is reinforced among luxury holding companies, which again benefit from having big pockets

We explore a handful of timepieces that offer a blend of both sporty and dressy aesthetics for collectors seeking more versatility.

You could argue that the chronograph makes for the ultimate masculine men’s watch. Its affiliations with aviation, car racing and diving are what give it a defiant sporty edge, elements of which are conveyed through the aesthetic. And that’s exactly what makes them all the more appealing to the modern day woman.

While many of these watches can tell time with a reasonable amount of accuracy, making them even more accurate, will require an exponentially greater investment in knowledge and machines, yet the devil is in the details as we venture further into what makes a watch Haute Horlogerie!

When it comes to watchmaking, each country that is a major force in the industry has a style of their own, but perhaps one of the most distinct is the one found in Glashütte, Germany. A watch that is evidence of this is the Glashütte Original PanoReserve.

Yes, it is hip to be square! In a market where round is still the standard, square watches stand out, yet these are four of the watches that set the pace!

"Gründlichkeit" is a German word that can be translated as thoroughness. It is also one of the first words that come to mind when you examine the new Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar.

White gold, at a glance, many people easily mistake it for steel. It is that understatement that gives white gold watches their appeal. Here are five of Haute Time's favorite white gold watches.
