Haute Time’s Favorite Watches Of SIHH 2018: Part II

One article was simply not enough to highlight our personal favorites of the SIHH 2018. So after part I, we now continue with part II!

SIHH 2018: Panerai Redefines Entry-Level With New Luminor Logo

There is a certain irony to it, but when you say Panerai, the first watch that comes to mind with most people is the basic Luminor. While it sits on the lower tiers of Panerai's collection, regarding complexity and price, it is a watch that remains very close to the original DNA of the brand. During this years SIHH, Panerai introduced a six new versions of the Luminor Logo, all powered by a new manufacture caliber.

Haute Time’s Favorite Watches Of 2017 Part I

When the new year is coming closer people tend to look back at what the current year has brought them. During the course of the year, the tide turned, and many brands enjoyed, once more, increased sales. This was in part due to some incredible new models that were introduced, which worked up an appetite with watch collectors and connoisseurs. At Haute Time we also look back, with our favorite watches of 2017!

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!

Large Watches With Room For Big Complications

Smaller and thinner watches seem to be the trend again lately, but sometimes you just need a larger watch. Not only because you enjoy wearing something substantial on your wrist, but also because this provides the room to fit it with the most extraordinary complications!

Bad Boys In Bronze

We are currently in an era in watchmaking in which there is significant innovation regarding the materials of which watch cases are made.
