The watch will be part of the Baume & Mercier’s offerings for SIHH 2018. However, the luxury watch brand is making the watch available on its website for preorder

Pierre Jaquet-Droz had an unusual talent; he could make the most complicated, real-life looking automatons. These dolls performed extraordinary feats, such as drawing a face down to the last detail or write a letter with an ink pen, perfectly legible. Today that legacy still lives on in the company that bears its name, but now in wristwatches, and the latest is the Loving Butterfly Automaton.

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!

Paul Newman isn't the only American icon who has his timepiece come up for auction, as on December 7th Christie's will offer Joe DiMaggio's Patek Philippe reference 130 and Amelia Earhart's Tiffany & Co travel watch.

The case and plate of new Louis Vuitton Tambour Moon are entirely encrusted in diamonds – a first for a timepiece with the coveted Poinçon de Genève seal.

Granted, these skeletons are not very scary, so that might make them even more perfect for your closet because they will complement a large range of outfits. Skeleton watches have always been quite a challenge to make, as you cut away what a watch so desperately needs: the stability of the main plate and bridges. That makes skeleton watches almost like a walk on the high wire for watchmakers, and so enticing for the rest of us!

With the passing of Roger Dubuis, we lost somebody who has been a big influence on the world of the Haute Horlogerie. While the master himself was not as involved in the company that bears his name as in the past, in part due to the sale to Richemont in 2008, the foundation of complicated avant-garde watches is safely guarded in the DNA of the brand. With a brand like Roger Dubuis, which has so many incredible watches in its collectsion, it is hard to call favorites, but fun for sure!

The high expectations were met today as Paul Newman's Daytona was auctioned during a relatively short but sweet bidding war, being sold for 15.5 million dollars. That makes it instantly the most expensive Rolex ever to be sold at auction, as it scatters the record even quite recently set by the "Bao Dai", the full calendar Rolex that belonged to the last emperor of Vietnam.

Big Bang Unico Golf carries Hublot’s MHUB1580 movement, which has been specially created to allow golfers to calculate their scores on the course.

Jacob & Co is by no means your average brand. In its collectsion, it combines dazzling diamond set watches, with highly complicated watch such as the twin turbo. Amidst all this the Astronomia stands apart, with its unique movement that gives a different spin on pretty much everything.

The Salon Internacional Alta Relojería, or SIAR, has developed tremendously over the years. For its eleventh edition, it welcomed for the first time all the watches that compete in the Grand Prix d ́Horlogerie de Genève, but that was of course not all that was there to see. These are the best watches we came across at this years SIAR:

Using eCommerce to sell high-end watches has moved beyond a trend and is now mainstream and inevitable among the few holdouts

When it comes to Rolex and chronographs, there is always a focus on the famed Daytona, while the brand has made other chronographs that are equally interesting. An example of this is this reference 3525.

The timepieces were recently unveiled in the most appropriate place, Ralph Lauren’s New York men’s flagship boutique at 867 Madison Ave.
