Roger Dubuis has always been a source of creativity and originality. The Genevan maison now launches four short videos using a highly original approach to traditional animation in which, like its incredible timepieces, every line is done by hand.

First launched in 2013 in red gold, white gold and platinum, the Legacy Machine No.2 series is completed on the brink of BaselWorld 2017 with a LM2 Titanium limited edition. A lightweight collectors’ item for heavyweight collectors.

Oris is on a mission. They’re not fighting for their lives against sharks, they’re fighting to save the world’s sharks. And the Hammerhead Limited Edition will help fight the threat of shark extinction. Save ‘Jaws’, buy an Oris!

Functional lightness for a not too heavy price. If a 40 gram Richard Mille of a cool million is out of reach but you still wanna rock a seriously light watch, the new Breitling Colt Skyracer in Breitlight® might be just the watch for you.

Last year at Baselworld Seiko presented a limited edition automatic Presage chronograph with an enamel dial. That watch created quite a buzz. Luckily the buzz was heard in Tokyo and now Seiko presents an unlimited collection of Presage watches with enamel dials.

The ultra-complicated Rebellion Predator 2.0 Regulator Tourbillon fuses racing cars and exceptional timepieces in a 30-piece limited series. It presents two complications that are symbols of timekeeping precision and centuries of tradition: the regulator and the tourbillon.

‘Look mom, no date!’ The Heritage 146 is a re-interpretation of one of Zenith’s historic 1960s models. The 38mm case is delightfully slender and the absence of a date keeps the dial refreshingly clean. A great new El Primero-equipped chronograph in blue or brown.

The Angelus U10 Tourbillon Calavera is a timepiece and a piece of art in one. And just one piece is built. This unique watch pays tribute to the old tradition of Mexican Calaveras. These are part of a very ancient tradition of memento mori. A very appropriate theme for a timepiece.

We suspect this purple perpetual calendar by Max & friends is a tribute to the artist Prince, who conquered the world with his emotional song ‘Purple Rain’ and who passed away last year. Either way, this Legacy Machine Perpetual with its 581 components and purple dial is a fantastic composition.

Those with a penchant for the finer things in life know about the L.U.C collection by Chopard. The manufacture in the Swiss town of Fleurier builds unique movements that have no trouble at all competing with the established names in haute horlogerie, and has been doing so for 20 years.

The world has become a very small place. It has become so easy to travel around the globe but because of all the different time zones it is still difficult to adept to keep in sync. Physically, mentally AND watch-wise. That’s why you need a Hublot Big Bang Unico GMT for instance.
