There are progressive brands, and then there is Ulysse Nardin. While it is, in essence, a classic manufacture, it uses the Swiss watchmaking tradition as a foundation to innovate and push the envelope. This has resulted not only in many progressive watches, with equally innovative movements, but also in introducing new materials in the world of watchmaking. Haute Time sat down with Stéphane von Gunten, Ulysse Nardin's Research and Innovation Director, to discuss the latest developments.

Check out Haute Time's picks for the ten most outrageous super yacht concepts from the future that we wouldn't be surprised to see in reality soon.

Hublot never sits still, and while Baselworld is the usual epicenter of the brand to introduce new watches, they don't let that limit their sense of innovation. Also this week in Geneva Hublot introduced some watches that pay once again tribute to the "Art of Fusion", expanding existing collections in extraordinary ways!

When Ferrari created the LaFerrari, they pushed the boundaries of what people come to expect from the brand even further away. The same does Hublot with their MP-collection, so when the two are combined in a single watch, you can expect something extraordinary.

With Hublot, innovation is a way of life. It was a key ingredient when Carlo Crocco founded the brand, and it erupted into the "Art of Fusion" when marketing genius Jean-Claude Biver joined the company and introduced this phrase to the watch world.
