Hublot remains a relative newcomer to the world of luxury Swiss watches, with the company being founded as recently as 1980. Nevertheless, in the space of a few decades, their timepieces have emerged as some of the most sought after in the world and new releases from the brand that pioneered the ‘Art of Fusion‘ are highly anticipated.
In this post, we take a closer look at the main Hublot offerings showcased at this year’s Baselworld event.
1. Techframe Ferrari Tourbillon Chronograph
Perhaps the most newsworthy addition to the Hublot catalogue this year comes in the form of the Techframe Ferrari Tourbillon Chronograph, which has been designed in conjunction with the Italian car company Ferrari in order to mark their 70th anniversary. The watch is available in three versions – King Gold, PEEK Carbon, and Titanium
An entirely new model, rather than a re-design of an existing one, the timepiece has an architectural and bridged design. Its powered by the in-house HUB6310 manual-wound caliber, has a single-button chronograph function and a flying tourbillon. However, it is a limited edition model, with each of the three versions getting just 70 models each.
In January, at the Salon International de la Haute Horologerie (SIHH), Audemars Piguet unveiled their latest range of new watches. This year, the focus from the manufacturer has primarily been about giving face-lifts or visual adaptations to existing models, with one very notable and obvious exception.
Here, we take a closer look at the range of new AP watches for 2017 and how they differ from predecessors.
1. Royal Oak Chronograph 20th Anniversary
In order to mark the 20th anniversary of the original Royal Oak Chronograph, Audemars Piguet unveiled a total of eight new model variations, helping to give the collection a face-lift. All of these models keep the basics of the Royal Oak Chronograph 41mm, released in 2012, but the primary change is the switch to two-tone dials.
This means that every dial has sub-dials of a contrasting color, with options including black and white, white and black, blue and grey, grey and blue, blue and rose gold, and chocolate and rose gold. Three of the new models are available in all stainless steel, four are made from rose gold and one combines titanium and platinum.

Now let’s take a look at the difference. Now obviously since these have the same model number of 116613, they’re gonna have pretty much all the same features and well it’s the same features.
Comparison of the dial:
The difference being, obviously you see the one on the right is blue and the one on the left is black. Now is that the only difference? Well, in fact pretty much yes. The clasp, the bracelet, the case, the crown, they’re all gonna be the same. The only difference is one is blue and one is black. Now where is it blue and where is it black?
You can see on this bezel here that my right finger is going around, that’s all blue. And along with the dial. And you can see on your left here that this is all black on the bezel and all black on dial. And that’s pretty much the difference. Now we made this video because a lot of you guys at home can’t decide between black or blue. And we wanna put them side by side so that you can do it from home and decide, do I wanna go with black or do I wanna go with blue?
Blue dial or Black Dial?
Now I’m gonna give you some hints from my personal taste on this. Because I’ve seen more than 10,000 watches and most people, in general, when they’re picking up the two-tone Submariner, they’re looking for the blue one. The blue one you see on the right. And that’s because blue, it’s more of a special color than the black one and it’s specific to just the two-tone and the white gold. Whereas black, you see here, it can look similar to both the stainless and the yellow gold.
Differences in text:
All right? You’ll also notice here, the dial is slightly different between the black one and the blue one. What do you notice about the writing in the black one? The writing here is actually white. Whereas on the blue one, what color is the writing? The writing is actually gold.
Which submariner is right for you?
Okay, now I’m gonna try this on my wrist and let you guys see what you think. What do you think would be good for you guys? Leave it in the comments below. What do you prefer? Do you prefer this black one that you see, black and gold. Or do you guys prefer more the blue one that you see on my right wrist? Which one would you wanna wear? Black or blue?

Today we are comparing two 31mm Lady Rolex Datejust (178384) Watches. We are comparing the one on the left which has the original factory diamond dial and bezel, with the one on the right which has an after market custom diamond dial and bezel. You can already see that the difference is hard to spot but as you can imagine the difference in price is HUGE!
Just to make it clear: Both have REAL diamonds in similar size, quality and quantity, but the dial and bezel for the Lady Datejust on the left has been produced by the Rolex Factory and assebled that way in the Rolex Factory. The dial and bezel for the Lady Datejust on the right where produced by a different company and added to a basic Datejust Model by an expert swiss watchmaker. Lets discuss the differences.

The Sky Dweller collection was first introduced in 2012, and is arguably the most complicated and bold Rolex timepiece of recent times, thanks to its large case size, dual-time capabilities, 24-hour display, date window and month display functions. As a result, it has been marketed as an ideal traveller’s watch.
Until this year, the Sky Dweller was only available in precious metals like Everose gold, white gold and yellow gold, often retailing upwards of $45,000.
