Last week, Watches of Switzerland Group PLC (’the Group’) revealed its half-year financial results, yielding great success in the US market.

While Patek Philippe is a manufacture rooted in history and tradition, it didn't become one of the most renowned brands by lack of innovation. Instead, the brand offers innovation on its own terms, focusing on advancing traditional watchmaking with better and more stable performance. The new Ref.5750 Advanced Research Minute Repeater is a watch that has exactly those qualities. It was developed by Patek Philippe's Advanced Research department, which was established in 2005 with the aim of finding and applying new materials, concepts, and technologies to further perfect Patek Philippe's offerings.

It is no secret that Hublot loves art. They have always shown this by collaborating with some of the most prominent artists of our time, like Romero Britto, Richard Orlinski, and Takashi Murakami. This last artist is especially known for adapting traditional Japanese art and placing it in the context of pop culture. His style is bold and striking, as we have already seen with his previous collaboration with Hublot. Now they continue the partnership with the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow.

In its universe of hyper horology, Roger Dubuis likes to seek out like-minded individuals to collaborate. One of them is celebrity tattoo artist Dr.Woo.

When on the court, Rafael Nadal has a distinct preference to wear one of Richard Mille's RM 027 Tourbillons, but his passion for the brand goes beyond that. With the RM 35-03 Automatic Rafael Nadal, this top-athlete has added its fourth timepiece to the collection.

While it has a very straightforward name, the Triple Split from A. Lange & Söhne is an extraordinarily complex watch of which there is no other. When you ask a watchmaker what is among the most challenging movements to create, you would expect to hear a tourbillon or minute repeater. While those are indeed very complex, a split-seconds chronograph also ranks in this category. Two second hands on the chronograph allow comparative times to be measured simultaneously. But what if you do the same with the minutes and hours? A. Lange & Söhne successfully completed this incredible challenge in 2018, when they launched the Triple Split, which remains the only one of its kind.

To celebrate a decade of its love of Art, Hublot hosted an evening like no other at the luxurious Faena Forum Miami Beach during Art Basel this year.

When introduced in 1945, the Datejust was Rolex way to mark its 40th anniversary. It has since grown to become one of their signature collections, as well as an icon in its own right. It was the first automatic watch with a date function ever launched, and today it still comes with those features. Over the years, Rolex let the collection evolve in a way that the company is so well known for. Like a fine wine, the Datejust collection became only better over time, being fine-tuned generation after generation.

In their pursuit of perfection, Grand Seiko developed a style of its own, guided by nine principles. The first watch made accordingly was the iconic 44GS, which was launched in 1967. Today, this instantly recognizable style has fans all around the world and led Grand Seiko to become one of the most renowned names in high-end watchmaking. To mark the 55th anniversary of the "Grand Seiko Style," the brand launched a Hi-Beat GMT model, limited to 1,200 pieces.

In many industries, having passion makes a difference. What is even better is shared passion, such as Hublot and Arturo Fuente cigars have been enjoying since the start of their collaboration in 2012. As Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe puts it; "Arturo Fuente cigars are consistently rated among the best cigars in the world. It was therefore natural that – brought together by our common desire to push the boundaries of excellence, each in our own field – our two companies joined forces and have been partners since 2012. It is in this same spirit that we are taking this opportunity to pay tribute to the patriarch Don Carlos Sr."

Tag Heuer and Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler unveil the TAG Heuer x Jimmy Butler Special Edition Carrera Heuer 02T Tourbillon in Miami.

With the year almost entering its final month, 2022 is just around the corner. For Chanel, it is time to declare red as their signature color for the new year. They do so by launching three distinct Haute Horlogerie creations that bring the heritage of the Maison to life in bold colors while innovative materials and movements channel the future.

Autumn is a special time of the year. This is, in particular, the case when it is an "Indian Summer." With the colors of the leaves already changing but the weather still warm, it creates a unique atmosphere. The following four watches are perfect for this occasion. While they differ quite a bit, they all share that their cases are made from pink gold, giving them a rich, golden luster.

In the world of Louis Vuitton, watches hold a special place. The brand is known for its innovative designs, rooted in its rich heritage. Their creativity seems to have no bounds, but it is not on looks alone on which they have built their success. What powers their watches is equally essential, and Louis Vuitton has a profound preference for complicated movements, especially the tourbillon, as the following three watches prove.

La Esmeralda is an important name in the history of Girard-Perregaux, as it was given to a pocket watch they made for the "World's Fair" of 1889 in Paris. This exquisite timepiece, finely engraved and fitted with a tourbillon and three gold bridges, won the gold medal. Although currently again in the museum collection of Girard-Perregaux, it was initially sold to Porfirio Diaz (1830-1915), then the President of Mexico. As the manufacture is celebrating its 230th anniversary, it felt appropriate to bring back the spirit of this unique pocket watch in a modern-day creation.

It is an interesting question to ask; when does Zenith reach its zenith? So far, it hasn't happened yet, and it is doubtful that it will happen in the near future. Today the brand launches two watches that give a new spin on already existing creations. What they have in common are mouthwatering movements encased in transparency and spiced up with a generous dash of blue.
