High-end luggage maker T.T. Trunks has crafted a case especially made for the traveling watch collectors, the Travel Watch Trunk.
The Travel Watch Trunk opens up on three programmable “swiss-kubik” winders (to wind automatic watches and preserve their energy).
Behind those winders, a storage space has been imagined so that you could slip your belongings such as your wallet or coin purse, key holders, passport or any other item you may bear in your pockets.


The Urwerk Champagne Supernova is a limited edition twist on Urwerk’s UR-110 Torpedo watch launched early this year.
The radiant and very nice looking color comes from a coating of Zirconium Nitride on the bezel, which provides the distinctive pale gold hue that gives rise to the “Champagne Supernova” nickname.
Zirconium Nitride is a high-performance ceramic coating that provides superb scratch, wear and corrosion resistance.


Louis Vuitton continues to develop its iconic “Tambour” design with the addition of this new ultra high-end model, the Tambour Minute Repeater.
The timepiece comes in a 44mm white/pink/yellow gold case (your choice), manual wind mechanical Louis Vuitton Caliber 178, and smoked sapphire crystal displays.
To catch up with the hottest fashion trend, the Louis Vuitton watch is endowed with a smoked skeletonized dial.


Watchmaker Vacheron Constantin has opened its 28th boutique—and its first-ever in the United States—on New York’s Madison Avenue.
The new outpost will join Vacheron Constantin’s existing boutiques in other cosmopolitan capitals like Moscow, Shanghai, Dubai and Geneva.
Ideally situated on the corner of 64th Street and Madison Avenue, in a historic building reminiscent of a 15th century Florentine palace, the exceptional location pays tribute to fine Italian art and the brand’s classic aesthetic.

Luxury Swiss watchmaker Hublot has created a $5 million diamond-encrusted ladies’ watch and plans to unveil it next year, Bloomberg reports.
The watch contains as many as 300 carats of polished diamonds, and is more expensive by $2 million than the Big Bang diamond watch model sold this year.
“Women are buying more than men, women are buying more often than men and women are very influential over men, so you have three good reasons to work on this population,” Chief Executive Officer Jean-Claude Biver said in an interview.


Maximilian Busser and Friends (MB&F), an independent watchmaker known for its extreme designs, has taken the wraps off its new Legacy Machine 1 watch.
Jean-Francois Mojon developed the design of the model’s movement, while Kari Voutilainen took care of its impeccable finishing.
The Legacy Machine No 1 is based on the idea of what if MB&F designed a watch not in 2011, but 1911. The end result is a watch that is traditional in shape.
Beating inside the new MB&F watch is a hand-wound three-dimensional movement. It supplies a 45-hour power reserve.
