From The Archives: Haute Time’s Hottest Pictures

At Haute Time we see experience and photograph a lot of watches from the leading brands on a daily basis. Over the years this has resulted in an incredible database of the most beautiful pictures of the most astonishing watches. We use these to illustrate our articles, both online as well in print, but also on our social media channels. Despite their high-quality do not all photos get used, so some of the images you see below have never been featured on Haute Time before while others might not highlight the latest watches anymore, they remain among our favorites.

A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph Perpetual
Especially at the big watch fairs, time is precious. Many appointments a day, unfortunately, limit the time available to truly appreciated the presented masterpieces. This especially goes for a watch like the A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph Perpetual. Fortunately, great images can help to enjoy later on still the magnificent beauty and technical complexity that such a watch has to offer.

Details Matter
Details matter, especially in the world of Haute Horlogerie. Thanks to the current technology of digital cameras we can highlight the craftsmanship in great detail. That makes the unique tourbillon in the Rotonde de Cartier Minute Repeater Mysterious Double Tourbillon not only more beautiful but even more mysterious!

Smokin’ hot watches!
Sometimes there is nothing better as to be in a studio with a bunch of amazing watches and photograph them in a more artistic way, which is often not possible when visiting the fairs or the brands themselves. In this series of photos Haute Time’s photographer, Alex Teuscher, worked with smoke to show how hot certain watches look!

In the light of beauty
Pictures, and especially the light in pictures, can highlight the beauty in the most extraordinary ways. Here we see caliber P.3000 from Panerai. While this is not nearly even the most complicated caliber of the brand, the beauty of the bridges, the finishing and the details that this movement has to offer is captivating and reminds us what a special place the world of Haute Horlogerie is!
