While the demand, or appreciation, for vintage watches of the leading brands seems to be still on the rise, the same can be said of certain watches that are of a far more recent make. Especially limited edition, or limited production, watches can be in high demand, and an excellent example of this is Patek Philippe's Sky Moon Tourbillon.

If you’ve heard of a wave of watchmakers who represent the nouvelle horlogerie, then you certainly know the Swiss company Urwerk.

The eight-leg, eight-day clock was inspired by cephalopods, marine chronometers and the James Cameron's 1989 film, "The Abyss"

Asking to pick four favorite Vacheron Constantin from their vast collection is much like putting a kid in a candy store, and letting it pick only four of all the candy it is surrounded by. Tough job, but these four stand out, although all for different reasons!

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

When it comes to Rolex, the dial can make all the difference. Think of the Stella dials on the Day-Date or the Paul Newman dials on the Daytona, while with the Rolex Submariner the difference is all in the details. With the Datejust however, there is not one particular dial that made a prominent name for itself, but there are some out there that should, like this Lapis Lazuli dial.

Danny Govberg has transformed Govberg Jewelers from a Philadelphia-based store to arguably the most successful watch retailer in the U.S.

Military watches have always had a great appeal to collectors, especially when it concerns vintage examples. One of the most sought after pieces is the Breguet Type XX.

A. Lange & Söhne has for long been an Haute Time favorite, and for a good reason: The combination of German craftsmanship, desirable complications, and an incredible finish is hard to beat. Although founded in 1845, it was relaunched in 1990 as it has been brought back to its former glory after spending decades behind the iron curtain.

If there is one thing, we can't deny it is the fact that Eric Clapton has exquisite taste. This also extends to his watch collection with this stunning Rolex Daytona as a prime example!

It is somewhat of a contradiction: to create a complicated watch, and then make it look as simple and understated as possible. This not only requires technical prowess, but also quite a bit of skill from the designers, as nothing is as difficult as making a complicated watch look simple, yet these four watches do just that!

You like it, or you don't: an integrated bracelet on a watch. Unable to detach, it defines the look of the watch, for better or for worse. In case of this Patek Philippe Ref.3450/1, it is the first, adding to the character of this imposing watch.

We spend a lot of time discussing highly complicated watches, or beautiful vintage pieces, which we all love, but the fact of the matter is that the majority has one or two watches that get worn the most. They might not be the most complicated, but many of them are fine watches that offer the perfect balance between being robust and good looking, making them go along just fine with whatever you wear and whatever you do! While it indeed differs from person to person what that watch is, these are some of the front runners!

When traveling across the globe, there is nothing quite like having a watch on your wrist that can keep up with it. Measuring time in different time zones simultaneously is something that is not that extraordinary anymore, with nearly every brand offering at least one model that can do this. However, when you travel the world in the comfort of your own private jet, many of these watches simply won't do. Then you are looking for the best, the most complicated, the most expensive GMT-watches, and these Three might just fit the bill!

In 1941 the world was in the midst of WWII, yet this was also the time that Patek Philippe introduced a landmark watch, the ref.1518. This was not only Patek Philippe's very first watch that united both a perpetual calendar with a chronograph, but also the very first time that such a watch was made in series.

A look back at the Universal Genève Cairelli Split-Second Chronograph, one of the most coveted military watches ever produced.
