1969 is one of the most important years in the history of Zenith, as the brand not only launched their famed El Primero but also introduced the very first Defy. This collection would grow to become one of the pillars for the brand, which it still is today. To mark this momentous beginning, Zenith is launching the Defy Revival A3642, a watch with a distinct vintage flair and a generous dose of character.

It is rare that a watch brand partners with a Japanese Manga and anime series, but when it happens, it can result in a timepiece unlike any other. Lupin The Third is an institution in the world of Manga, with the very first edition being published in 1967. Shortly after the launch of the original El Primero in 1969, it appeared on the wrist of Daisuke Jigen, the partner in crime of the main character Arsène Lupin III. It featured a black, grey, and gilt dial Zenith had never produced, but a bond was formed between the watch brand and the Magna series. This was strengthened even more in the final episode of the first series, with Jigen wearing a "panda" dial version of the watch.

To mark the centennial anniversary of Mercedes-Maybach, the brand continues its journey towards maximum individuality, independence and comfort with two high-tech models - the "Edition 100"

Antonio Brown is a respected veteran within the NFL, starting in 2010 at the Pittsburgh Steelers and currently playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also won the Super Bowl for the 2020 season with this team, scoring the third touchdown of the final game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Known for his distinct style and eye for quality, it is no surprise that Brown teamed up with Skeleton Concept, the French Haute Horlogerie atelier. Together, they dreamed up a unique customization launched today as the Antonio Brown Concept and based on the Rolex Submariner 'Hulk' 116610LV.

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. He applied his magic touch to the Monotroubillon, crafted from Eon gold and limited to just 8 pieces. Haute Time sat down with Dr.Woo, to talk with him about this exciting collaboration;

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.

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."

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.

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.

Although they both have a completely different heritage, are Bulgari and MB&F not that different in the way that they approach watchmaking. While they are firm believers in craftsmanship and have a keen eye for details, they are both also innovators. This innovation can be technical advancement, but also in terms of design, both brands love to push the envelope. So when they decide to collaborate, true magic happens.

2022 is already starting on a high note, as Greubel Forsey is releasing the first piece of their new collection for next year. While watches from this brand are always exceptional, the Balancier S2 is even a bit more. It is continuing the legacy of complex sports watches that the brand established with its predecessors, the GMT Sport and the Balancier S. What the brand did with this watch was to distill the best parts of the original Balancier and make them even purer.

Making a complicated watch is one thing, but giving it a unique, novel appearance is something entirely different. It means that you master the mechanical challenges needed to create such a watch and control them to such an extent that you can determine the look and position of the complications on the dial. Ulysse Nardin is a brand that loves to play with these possibilities, and for them, it has become part of their DNA. An excellent example of this is the Marine Mega Yacht, an ocean-going watch that uniquely displays its rich heritage.

Hublot has the ability, like no other, to capture the soul of a place in a timepiece. It has done so for several hot spots in the world already, from the Mediterranian beauty of Capri and Mykonos to the vibrance of Las Vegas and London. Now it is the turn for the "City by the Bay," San Fransisco, to be immortalized in a timepiece. For this, Hublot selected their Big Bang Chronograph and went, as usual, the extra mile.
