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;

Loren and JR Ridinger’s Utopia IV designed by Rossinavi won at the World Superyacht Awards in London among an impressive lineup of world-class vessels.

When it comes to automaton's Jaquet Droz has a reputation to uphold, as they are the benchmark in the industry for this. While the automatons created by the brand's founder where already mesmerizing, incorporating such technology in a wristwatch is equally challenging. For Jaquet Droz this is merely a challenge that they take on with expertise and great imagination as they proof once more with the introduction of the Magic Lotus Automaton.

A Rolex with a moon phase is by any means something special. It is a complication that throughout its history they didn't make that many of. Reference 6062 is among them most certainly one of the more special, mainly because Rolex integrated quite a few features that were at the time not at all common to find in a single watch.

McLaren Automotive revealed its unique rendition of the modern Grand Tourer: the new McLaren GT. The elegant and sleek GT redefines the Grand Tourer category by merging a compelling blend of innovative materials, supercar performance and a dynamic driving experience.

In 2015, Patek Philippe unveiled a new Annual Calendar Flyback Chronograph model in the form of the Ref. 5905 in platinum. And at Baselworld this year, a fresh rose gold version joined the lineup. Here’s a look at the brand new Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Chronograph Ref. 5905R.

Of all the complications, the tourbillon must be the most mesmerizing. It is therefore not surprising that most brands also make this complication visible from the dial side so that whoever is wearing it, can fully enjoy it. For others, this is not enough, and they like to take the tourbillon to a whole other level;

Ulysse Nardin will release its latest timepiece, Skeleton Magma X, at Haute Living’s Luxe & Leisure Weekend at Brickell City Centre this weekend in Miami.

A watch that offers a second time-zone can be indispensable when travelling, but you truly have to take it through its paces to see if changing the timezones can be done with ease. In many cases, this is overlooked by its manufacturers. It either requires a special tool to get through a tiny pusher on the side of the case, or you have to use the crown. While the latter is already more convenient than the first, you still run the risk of changing more settings than you intended to on the watch. Hublot cleverly solved these problems in its Big Bang Unico GMT.

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.

To debut a new hand-wound caliber earlier this year, Grand Seiko introduced four new watches to the Elegance Collection—two of them with Urushi lacquer dials inside their rose gold cases. Discover this pair of limited edition Grand Seiko Elegance Collection timepieces featuring an ancient Japanese decorative technique.

Chronoswiss has especially in recent years been a brand that unites the best of both worlds. On one side traditional craftsmanship is still a cornerstone of their DNA, but now they utilize this in a far more progressive way, cleverly playing into the trends of current times. The new Retrograde Fusion is a perfect example of this strategy.

There is a significant change visible in the field of ladies watches; they now tend to be more complicated, in either technical execution or design. The majority of these watches shows a refinement that comes from every single detail. Precious gemstones remain to play an important role to make just that right accent, or as one of the main ingredients for these gracious watches. At Baselworld this trend was also clearly visible, with many delightful creations.

Another Bombardier aircraft is upon us, we think. Different from the ultra-long range Global 7500, the Global 8000 travel range is planned to increase by 300nm (555km) to 7,900 nautical miles (14,631 km); the Global 7500 is 33.8m (111ft) in length with a 16.6m cabin; and now connects some of the world’s most unprecedented city pairings: Los Angeles to Dubai, Sydney to Sao Paulo, Tokyo to San Juan.

In a historic night in the world of boxing, Hublot and the WBC raised $1.2 million for retired boxers at the Night of Champions gala & auction.

In 2018 Bulgari smashed all thinness records with the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic. In one sweep it became not only the world's thinnest tourbillon but also the world's thinnest automatic tourbillon. That's not all, because perhaps its greatest accomplishment is that it also became the world's thinnest automatic watch. Up until now, this last record was usually held by watches that featured no additional complications, such as a tourbillon, because they tend to add to the height of a movement.
