Haute Time’s Hottest Ladies Watches Of 2019
The time that ladies watches where smaller men's watches with diamonds added is long gone. Today they often unite several different crafts into a single creation, being a driving force of the Métier d'arts and quite frequently powered by sophisticated, mechanical movements. In some form follows function, yet always with an elegant touch, while others do it the other way around. This makes the world of women's watches so incredibly diverse, as perhaps even more with men's watches are the only boundaries the imagination and capabilities of the maker. That this result in exceptional watches was also proven this year with these stunning creations;
Four Complicated Ladies Watches That Show Beauty Beyond The Dial
A refined mechanical movement, preferably fitted with an exciting complication; for a long time, this was nearly non-existant within a ladies watch. A quartz-powered smaller version of a men's watch, usually with some diamonds added, was how many of them looked. But fortunately, times change, and these days there are more and more interesting ladies watches with beautiful movements, some even purposely made for them. The following four watches most certainly set the pace in this category.

MB&F Dedicates The Legacy Machine FlyingT To Women
MB&F is no stranger to making unexpected and whimsical timepiece creations (or as the brand likes to like to call them, horological machines). Although young by watchmaking standards, the 14-year old company boasts an impressive archive of mechanical marvels shaped like robots, sea creatures, spaceships, and more.

In the luxury watch space, a brand’s long history is often touted as an advantage as it signals experience, longevity, and continued relevance.

The New MB&F HM9: Pushing The Envelope To The Next Level (Again)
With MB&F you sometimes wonder how they can move on to the next watch based on their past creations. As both their designs as well as their movements are cutting edge, it is hard to see the next logical step, at least when you name is not Maximilian Büsser and you founded the brand. The challenge is to not only offer a new watch with an incredible wow-factor but also to inject it with sufficient MB&F-DNA and have it as a natural extension of the current collection. With the introduction of the new MB&F HM9, we can say once again; mission accomplished!

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!
Haute Time’s Favorite Watches From MB&F
You always have more fun when with friends, especially when they are working in the watch industry and your name is Maximilian Büsser.

When he starts a project all involved don't think outside the box; they simply ignore the fact that there is a box in the first place.

Exploring Creative Ways To Display Power Reserve
Among other complications, the power reserve indicator always seems to be a bit dull. You do not have the continuous motion of a tourbillon, the playfulness of a chronograph, or the imposing look of a big date. However, many watch connoisseurs have a secret, or not so secret, crush on this complication. Where there was a time when a 48-hour power reserve was the most of it, now even the most common watches sport five days or more, and some might only take winding once a month. That gives the power reserve indicator a whole new level of excitement, especially since many brands now also display it in a far more creative way!
Hands-on With The New MB&F Legacy Machine Split Escapement
For quite some time now, there is a trend of putting balance wheels out in the open.

With their Legacy Machine's MB&F gave the balance wheel center stage and with the new Split Escapement, this show is elevated to new heights!
