MB&F is known as one of the most creative forces in the world of watches. With timepieces like, for example, the LM Thunderdome and HM7 Aquapod, they combine innovative design with mechanical excellence. That the brand is even capable of recreating one of their own creations with a twist is proven by the HM10 Panda for Only Watch.

A perpetual calendar remains one of the most coveted complications. While there is in today's high-tech world no particular need anymore for such a mechanical timepiece, its complexity remains mesmerizing. Unlike an annual calendar, does a perpetual one not even need adjusting in the leap years. This unique feature is very challenging to make and means that, when it runs continuously, it doesn't need manual adjustment for decades, sometimes even centuries. Watch brands also love to take this esteemed complication to the next level, from both a technical as well as an aesthetical point of view. The following four are perfect examples of this and crafted to be cherished forever.

With its art of fusion, Hublot never had a problem channeling its inner alchemist. This is an intricate part of their DNA, and it becomes particularly apparent with watches like the Classic Fusion Gold Crystal, which the brand launched last year. This all-black watch was decorated on the dial with gold crystals, offering a bold and irresistible contrast. Today Hublot is launching the next chapter, incorporating the gold crystal in the Spirit of Big Bang.

Complications are great, but a combination of them is even better. The Ref.5905 Annual Calendar Chronograph delivers just that, in a way only Patek Philippe can do. With its first annual calendar introduced in 1996, the brand is actually the inventor of this complication. As it only needs manual adjusting every February of each year, it is less complex and expensive than a perpetual calendar, but far more convenient than a regular one. Ref.5905 also taps into the long-standing tradition at Patek Philippe to merge a calendar complication with a chronograph. No wonder that it quickly amassed its own share of admirers.

When it comes to their designs, Longines has often been able to give them a sense of timelessness. They always seem to be current, regardless of when they were created. One of their latest additions to the collectsion, the Spirit Titanium, also possesses this. While brand new, it also has a sense of elegance that reminds us of times long gone, making it appropriate in either. In that matter, it is also tough to designate the true nature of this watch, as it is rugged as a sports watch yet simultaneously possesses an undeniable sense of elegance.

Last evening, Wednesday, September 8th, luxury Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin opened NYFW with a start-studded event, celebrating a striking new Flagship Boutique at 28 East 57th Street, ushering in a new era for the brand.

They are every collectsor's dream, yet the challenges to obtaining them are daunting, a chronograph made for one of the premier squadrons of the U.S. Navy. As one of the most premier makers of pilot's watches, IWC holds since 2018 the license to create timepieces for all U.S. Navy and Marine Corps squadrons. These unique watches are among the rarest, as only a very limited number of them are made, and they are only available for those who are serving or have served at the particular squadron. Now, IWC is making the dreams of, at least some, watch collectsors come true as they launch a squadron of their own, with three chronographs inspired by the collaboration with iconic squadrons.

In the 1980s, TAG Heuer introduced a new divers watch. This was by itself not so surprising as the brand has been doing that for quite some time. However, this watch was different because the entire dial was coated with luminous material to ensure superb legibility underwater. While this cool feature received a warm welcome from professional and amateur divers alike, even people who didn't dive at all were taken by it. The watch quickly reached the status of an icon, and today TAG Heuer is introducing a watch to continue that legacy.

Diamonds can add something to a watch, but how much depends significantly on their setting. They can merely serve as a precious element, or they can elevate the entire timepiece to a higher level altogether. An excellent example of the latter is Breguet's latest addition to their collectsion, the Tradition 7035. Here the diamonds are quite literally integrated into the design of the watch, creating a sparkling symbiosis of precious stones with mechanical excellence.

DJ Snake, the most streamed French artist in the world, joins forces with Hublot to unveil an exclusive creation.

At the Geneva Watch Days, Bulgari surprised us with a wide range of different watches that each impressed on their own. The key element is that they all continued a certain legacy within the brand, further strengthening its pillars of success. As we have grown accustomed of Bulgari, they do so with an undeniable sense of style, (Italian) flair and eye for detail.

The biggest challenge for any watchmaker is to create a design that defies and defines time simultaneously. With its new Tonda PF collectsion, Parmigiani takes it on and makes a clear case for a return to elegance. Clean lines, attention to detail, and refined movements make these watches a compelling proposition for any watch connoisseur. With their integrated bracelets, they wear like a piece of jewelry, oozing exclusivity in a more chic, restraint way.

Marking 175 years of history can be a daunting task, yet not for Ulysse Nardin. Founded in 1846, their legacy in Haute Horlogerie has been firmly based on pursuing precision timekeeping. The brand became one of the best-known suppliers of marine chronometers, delivering them to navies and ship lines worldwide and contributing to science by supplying them to geodesic institutes and astronomical observatories. Ulysse Nardin is introducing seven(!) exciting new watches to their Marine Torpilleur collectsion to mark this moment.

Exciting news from Hublot, as they welcome tennis ace Novak Djokovic into the family. Born in 1987, in the now Serbian city of Belgrade, he started to play tennis from the age of 4 and hasn't stopped since. After turning pro, he quickly worked his way up the ranks of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), where he currently has a firm hold of the No.1 position. He is very comfortable with this place, as he has already been there for over 337 weeks.

To commemorate the company's founding 140 years ago, Grand Seiko is adding another two models to its anniversary collectsion. Both are powered by Caliber 9RA2, the innovative Spring Drive movement that Grand Seiko developed for the occasion. It takes this unique technology to new heights with a slimmer design, thanks to a redesign and repositioning of many parts. Thanks to two mainspring barrels, the caliber has a power reserve of an impressive 120 hours, which it indicates on the back of the watch. The IC has also been updated and comes with a built-in temperature sensor. This allows for an accuracy of around 10 seconds per month.

In 2017 Hublot was one of the pioneers when it comes to the rainbow-setting. In the last couple of years, they have displayed the power of this concept in a wide variety of different watches. Today they introduce a new high in this field with the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon. Because of the integrated bracelet, the brand now has even more metal to utilize the full-color spectrum of the rainbow. They do so in the most precious way, using baguette-cut stones. As a result, 484 stones, weighing almost 36 carats, decorate these watches.
