As far as New Year’s resolutions go, aiming for a smaller number on the scale is a popular one. But we’ll leave the diet and exercise tips to the experts and focus on what we do best—outline some topnotch luxury timepieces! The use of titanium in watches is becoming more predominant thanks to its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium is just as strong as stainless steel but almost double in strength. So if you want a tough timepiece that doesn’t feel heavy on the wrist, check out these four lightweight titanium watches.

OMEGA debuted its latest addition to the Speedmaster collection, the OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Stainless Steel.

It was an epic night again in Hollywood, as the 77th edition of the Golden Globes took place. The show was hosted once again by British comedian Ricky Gervais, and proved to be a big night for Quentin Tarantino, as his 'Once Upon a Time....in Hollywood' took home the awards for best musical or comedy, supporting actor and screenplay.

OMEGA celebrated the launch of its newest watch, the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, with a private affair at The Top of the Standard in New York. The occasion was shaken (not stirred) by the special guests that included James Bond himself, actor Daniel Craig, as well as 007 film producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

Good design lasts forever. But great designs can lay the groundwork for a bevy of future reinterpretations—a handful of modifications here and there and you end up with a fresher take on the fundamentals.

Even in today's time, with high-tech carbon composites and exotic alloys ruling supreme, there is still that undeniable appeal of 18 karat gold. It can be rather discreet when you opt for white gold, more outgoing in the warm tones of rose gold, or an instant classic when you go for yellow gold. Gold pleases its owner with more than just its visual splendor. It is also the heft of this material that makes you know that you are wearing something special. This is especially true with watches that not only feature a case made of this material but a bracelet as well. The following four watches go all in, as they show off the beauty that you get when you go for only gold;

A relic from the mid 20th Century, the Panda dial has proved its staying power six decades later. Defined as a chronograph dial with a white background and black sub-dials (and nicknamed after the cute creature with that recognizable face), the Panda dial is as fresh looking today as it was when it first appeared. Case in point is this batch of contemporary luxury watches with Panda dials.

A display that tells the current phase of the moon is among one of the earliest complications that were added to a watch. In today's world, not many people have a particular need to know the exact phase of the moon, but in the past, it played a far more significant role in everyday life. While the importance of this complication has changed over the years, its appeal hasn't. Even on modern watches, a moon phase indicator is among one of the most popular complications, yet a vintage watch with this feature has an appeal of its own.

Why settle for off the shelf gold when you can make your own? In the battle of the best materials to use to manufacture watches, some watch brands tinker with secret formulas to produce gold that they can call their own. Depending on the specific blend, the results vary from distinct tones to improved durability. Here are four examples of proprietary gold alloys from top watchmakers.

When it comes to watches, we tend to focus on the movement and its complications. While this is indeed often the reason why we buy a particular watch, a good bracelet, when it is of course fitted with one, can also have a substantial impact on how we enjoy it in day to day life. It should not only firmly yet comfortably secure the watch on our wrist, but it should also match its style. Designing and creating such a bracelet is not an easy task, yet these four brands nailed it.

2019 is a special year for quite a few brands, as it marks for them important events in their history. For some, it was the launch of an iconic model or important movement, while for others it was an event at which one of their watches became legendary. That makes it that these four brands have something to celebrate:

The truth is, nothing beats the original. However, when it comes to watches, some of these original creations are so rare and precious that you either have a hard time finding one or that its prices have sky-rocketed, most likely even both. As they are very desirable, demands outstrip supply, and then it actually makes sense from a business perspective that the brands who originally produced the watch, launch a re-edition. While they are in it for the profit, it also highlights an often important part of their history once again, while it gives their clients the opportunity to own something as close to the original as they can get.

At #TimeToMove, the event in which the Swatch Group has launched its novelties from their top tier brands this year after leaving Baselworldlast year, there was much more than just men's watches. The various brands also launched stunning ladies watches, of which these four are some prime examples;

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;

OMEGA hosted a star-filled tribute at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and the moon landing. George and Amal Clooney, Chiara Ferragni, Douglas Booth, and an impressive line-up of NASA veterans attended the celebratory event.
