This Saturday evening, Christie's in Geneva was the stage for ONLY WATCH 2017, a charity auction in which the proceeds are being used to help find a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Watch brands donate unique watches to the auction, giving collectors and connoisseurs the opportunity to own a truly unique watch. While all watches did well, some did a bit better than others!

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!

While the demand, or appreciation, for vintage watches of the leading brands seems to be still on the rise, the same can be said of certain watches that are of a far more recent make. Especially limited edition, or limited production, watches can be in high demand, and an excellent example of this is Patek Philippe's Sky Moon Tourbillon.

It is somewhat of a contradiction: to create a complicated watch, and then make it look as simple and understated as possible. This not only requires technical prowess, but also quite a bit of skill from the designers, as nothing is as difficult as making a complicated watch look simple, yet these four watches do just that!

When traveling across the globe, there is nothing quite like having a watch on your wrist that can keep up with it. Measuring time in different time zones simultaneously is something that is not that extraordinary anymore, with nearly every brand offering at least one model that can do this. However, when you travel the world in the comfort of your own private jet, many of these watches simply won't do. Then you are looking for the best, the most complicated, the most expensive GMT-watches, and these Three might just fit the bill!

Of all complications, the minute repeater remains one of the most coveted. It is so complicated to make that it will always remain a rarity. While tourbillons have enjoyed increasing popularity, also because it is available at a much lower price point, the minute repeater remains a precious expression of the art of Haute Horlogerie.

If you want to get a true understanding of what Haute Horlogerie is all about, and what makes these watches so special, you should visit a watch manufacture, preferably from one of your favorite brands.

A very subtle and discreet watch, it actually houses an impressive complication, especially for the 1920's. The lever on the side of this Cartier already shows us a hint of this.

Some watches put everything on the table, and when you are a minute repeater tourbillon that is quite a feat! Girard-Perregaux did just that and added their iconic bridges to it, for good measure.

Minute repeaters are among the most difficult complications to create, yet also one of the most desired by watch collectors and connoisseurs.

They might not always be the most obvious choices, but we fell in love with these four case backs for various, very good, reasons.

Is there a slowdown in the watch industry? You wouldn't think so when you saw the new watches that the brands introduced during the SIHH. From complicated skeleton watches to understated dress watches, it was all there and everything in between. We picked out 10 favorites.

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!

One of my all-time personal favorites from Patek Philippe is reference 3974. When this watch was launched in 1989, it was the most complicated wrist watch in the world.

Few complications are as prestigious as the tourbillon. While many brands have one in their collection, there is still something special about getting it from the brand that invented it: Breguet, especially when it is not just a tourbillon, but they add something to it!
