This is the Hublot watch for people who don’t traditionally like Hublot. It is in the Classic Fusion collection and has a skeletonized tourbillon movement. To be honest, I sort of get a sense of glee when I post a picture of an Hublot watch on my wrist, share it on Instagram (aBlogtoWatch), and people battle on whether it is wonderful or hideous in the comments.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Réserve de Marche Watch Hands-On
For class and confidence it is hard to beat a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master collection timepiece. When I say this I mean two things. First of all, these are formal timepieces meant for fancy occasions and suits. A smart person could pull it off casually, but this is an elegant creation before it is a sport watch [...]
Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge Watch
Now isn’t that pretty? This is a special Milan Boutique edition of the newer Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin watch. The version with the limited “heritage” dial that is.

Richard Mille RM 037 Watch
One of the new Richard Mille watches to be debuted in January for 2012 is this RM 037 timepiece.

Taken from previous Richard Mille watches are the hour markers [...]
Audemars Piguet Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak Limited Edition Watch
Now here is a watch that is going to be a pain for people to buy who want one. Little guys like this get wooed over when announced, a year or so seems to go by before any are actually released for sale, and then the wars begin about availability because they are so limited. [...]

Richard Mille RM 033 Watch Hands-On
Richard Mille joins the thin watch craze in 2011 with their 6.30mm thick “Extra Flat Automatic” RM 033 watch. For the complexity of a Richard Mille watch case 6.30mm thick is pretty darn good. The brand makes sure to maintain as much of the signature look as possible in the design of the case – [...]
Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin Watch Hands-On
Jaeger-LeCoultre’s answer to the thin watch in 2011 was with their Reverso. Many of the Richemont brands were releasing their own slim watches, and I think the Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin is one of the sleeker models. As of now it will come in at least four versions. Some unlimited models including one with a more [...]
Cartier Ballon Bleu Extra-Flat Watch Hands-On
Among Cartier’s many new releases for 2011 was this ultra-thin version of the popular Ballon Bleu. I am not totally sure why the Ballon Bleu is so popular. As a women’s watch I totally get it. It has a elegant, bubbly beauty to it and some nice rounded curves. I mean the word “balloon” is [...]
Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Extra-Thin Watch
As there is a deep place in my heart for wild and complex watches, so too is there is place in my heart for the tasteful and simple. Honestly, some days you want a watch that soothes and elevates, as opposed to one that boggles the mind. The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Extra-Thin is really [...]

Many, many of you want a simple and classic watch versus everything else that is out there. These watches don’t have the immediate sex appeal of a lot of the complex or flashy watches that are out there, but instead grow on you like a good friend, instead of grow tiring once it takes you [...]
