The Best Men’s Watches From Baselworld 2019 Part I

When it comes to men's watches, most brands expanded their lineup during the 2019 edition of Baselworld with some solid additions. Some of them favoured evolution over revolution, further perfecting what are already great watches, while others developed breathtaking technical novelties. One of the great difficulties of any fair, and especially Baselworld, is to pick from this wide array of often very different watches the favorites that truly stand out.

Going All In For Christmas!

Christmas is a special time, for which most people make a little bit of extra effort. This often applies to decorations, the gifts they get, the way they give back, but also to the way they dress. With all the candles and dimmed lights, Christmas is also the perfect season to wear that diamond set watch. The lights show off that fire and scintillation, giving it just that little bit extra for the holiday season!

Time Out: How Sport Has Influenced Watch Designs

As any athlete (or spectator) can tell you, a few seconds can make all the difference between winning and losing in sports. So it’s only natural that professional sports have shaped the horology landscape with watches built specifically for use during competitions.

Great Skeletons To Add To Your Closet!

It has become an Haute Time tradition: to pay attention around Halloween to an exceptional category of watches: the skeletons. They are a true balancing act, as the watchmakers want to take away as much of the material as possible, yet at the same time must not disturb the integrity of the overall movement. If they succeed, a unique watch is the result. One that allows you to admire their most inner parts, which are often only be seen by the watchmakers themselves. Not very scary, but remarkable for sure!

Red Alert For The Best Sounding Alarm Watches!

Watches that make a sound, other than the ticking of their movement, are among the most desired in the watch world. There is simply something about a watch that indicates either the time or that a certain preset time is reached, with an acoustic signal, coming to life exclusively by means of mechanical parts. Among them, alarm watches are usually the most affordable, because generally speaking, they are the least complex. Yes, generally speaking, because not all alarm watches are created equal. Some take it to the next level, by the complexity of their movement, and the clarity of their sound and these three excel in both!

The Hottest Watch Movements Part I

The appeal of high-end watches has always been a combination of different aspects, in which the watch movement plays a very important role. While our eyes are usually focused on the front of the watch, nowadays the glass case back on many models also allow us to take in the mechanical marvels that power it. Many of them are the result of dedication, perseverance, ingenuity, and craftsmanship, which are all needed in their creation process. Some movements have been around in more or less the same configuration for decades, while others have been conceived in more recent times. Time to take a closer look at what we consider some of the hottest watch movements available today!

Complicated Colors In Watchmaking

Colors play an important role in watchmaking. Often not so much on the technical side but for sure on the visual one. They greatly contribute to the character of a timepiece. While paints and lacquers can relatively easily be made in any color desired, other materials are much harder color, but that didn't stop some brands from pursuing it anyway!

Watch Of The Week: Hublot Big Bang Unico Golf

Golf is a demanding sport as it requires a combination of power and finesse and extended periods of high concentration. On watches, it puts extra stress because as the club hits the ball, the vibrations can have a negative impact on a mechanical watch. At the same time the watch should also not interfere with the performance of the golfer, especially not when you play at the highest level, such as Dustin Johnson for who Hublot created this exceptional watch.
