Breguet Is Betting On Blue With New Models

Blue is here to stay, not only for nautical-inspired watches but throughout the spectrum of different types of timepieces.

Throwback Thursday: Patek Philippe ‘The Garrard’s 2497’

Not all watches are created equal, and this is even the case when we are talking about Patek Philippe. Among its rich history, does reference 2497 hold a special place.

This is especially true for the new Tonda 1950 Double Rainbow Flying Tourbillon. The watch is powered by caliber PF517, a movement that not only impresses with its complications but also with its finish.

Haute Time Talks About Success Factors With Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe

What has been only a short few weeks looks almost like another lifetime, when we were able to sit down with Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, to talk about the success factors of the brand.
