It was hard to know what to expect, as so much would be different this year at Baselworld. With the attending brands now down to just over a hundred, the show is more compact, yet the new fair management also took the opportunity to make good use of this space. Greenery, indoor ponds and more luxurious culinary options have given the fair a more upscale appearance, one that is matched by the amazing watches that are presented here!

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!

Price is something we rarely discuss at Haute Time and for a good reason: the watches we feature have transcended from being merely a functional device to become an object of art. Yes, they tell time, and sometimes a few things more, but the way that they were designed and created is fare more an artistic process than anything else. However, to obtain such a piece of art money needs to change hands and becomes a natural limitation for the number of people who want to get one. The following watches are far beyond the horizon for most collectors, but unfortunately, that doesn't make them any less desirable!

Diamond set watches have a terrible disadvantage. Most people are so impressed by their visual impact and the price tag that comes along, that they forget how complicated it is to create such a marvel. The following watches are therefore first and foremost unique masterpieces that combine the noble art of watchmaking with that of diamond cutting and setting!

Baselworld is always a place full of surprizes, some large and some small. One of those big surprises is the Blancpain Villeret Tourbillon Volant Heure Sautante Minute Rétrograde. This watch combines a jumping hour with retrograde minutes and a unique flying tourbillon.

Few places in the world can rival with jewelry shopping in the Big Apple. New York City not only houses the boutiques from some of the most esteemed names in Haute Joaillerie from the continent but is also home to America's own major league of jewelers. Their popularity has made it that they even have been included in pop-culture, such as in Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" or the iconic movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's." When you find yourself shopping for jewelry in New York City, make sure to include the following places:

Smaller and thinner watches seem to be the trend again lately, but sometimes you just need a larger watch. Not only because you enjoy wearing something substantial on your wrist, but also because this provides the room to fit it with the most extraordinary complications!

Why settle for one tourbillon in your watch when you can have more? We take a closer look at three of our favorite double tourbillon watches!

Usually, complicated watches come with equally complicated names. Jacob & Co, however, keeps it clean, crisp and simply with the Twin Turbo. A very appropriate name by the way, because the watch features indeed two major complications, and does so in a very expressive style.

A visit to Baselworld is a feast for the eye, as it offers some of the world's most spectacular watches. Exotic materials, intricate complications, and precious gem settings can quickly get the price tag up to astronomical heights. Here are five of the most expensive watches that were presented at the fair!

The essence of a watch is keeping accurate time, but that has never stopped watchmakers turning them into more. At Baselworld we were delighted by a few watches that delighted us by motion, music and light!

Ask Haute Time's Director of Photography, Alex Teuscher, what he likes to do best, and you likely get as an answer " do a proper shoot". Unlike Baselworld or SIHH, where time is a rare commodity and equipment has to be unpacked and packed with each appointment, a proper shoot first of all means having time. Time to create something like these "Smokin' Hot Watches".

While a conventional tourbillon is already mesmerizing to watch, a multi-axis tourbillon only multiplies this pleasure. Let's take a look at some of the
