For Baselworld 2016, the world's largest watch and jewelry fair, Hublot is preparing the prestigious Big Bang Unico Sapphire wristwatch, a watch made of sapphire, a material second only to diamond in hardness. Behind the unique case hides the in-house UNICO mechanism, which is visible from all angles due to its transparency. Only 500 pieces will be available, which will not be cheap.

Paco Santamaria makes unusual wristwatches that are watches in function but in form anything but. They are made from everyday objects, such as drain, cubes, button, blade, sharpener, spoon, scissors and other objects. Are you curious about what those watches would be like? Then you've come to the right place.
With the prestigious Swiss Alp wristwatch, the H. Moser & Cie brand did exactly the opposite of the current trend among wristwatch providers. Instead of (re)creating a classic wristwatch and embedding a digital heart in it, they did the opposite. The Swiss Alp wristwatch was inspired by modern smart watch designs (so much so that they are likely to be sued by Apple), but it is a purely mechanical wristwatch.
When it was released in 1969, the Heuer Monaco wristwatch was one of the most revolutionary wristwatches in the world, with innovations such as the first automatic chronograph, and it also held the title of the first waterproof wristwatch with a quadrilateral case. It was considered the symbol of Grand Prix competitions and also won over Steve McQueen. At Tag Heuer, they paid tribute to her with the Tag Heuer Monaco Reissue wristwatch, which in many ways embodies the famous watch.
The elegant Porsche Design 1919 wristwatches are named after the founding year of the Bauhaus art movement, which was founded as a school in 1919 in Weimar, Germany by Walter Gropius. The watch embodies the philosophy of the famous movement that has developed a recognizable style. This one was heavily influenced by usability and tried to connect art and practical design work. This philosophy is also followed by the new Porsche wristwatches, which, like their cars, are not cheap. You'll need to shell out at least US$3,400 for a single one.
Wristwatches that are unique, special, beautifully designed and aesthetically perfect attract the interest of fashion enthusiasts. If it is true that clothes make a person, it is probably true that a watch reflects our attitude to time. If time is priceless to you, a beautifully designed watch adorns your wrist, proving that you have a respectful attitude towards time.
We usually have clocks to tell when something started. The What Watch wristwatch, on the other hand, is a watch that marks the time when something memorable happened. Thanks to the Bluetooth 4.0 connection, the associated application and a special button that "stops time", this wristwatch allows you to record the exact time when an important moment happened, and to complement it with photos and comments.
We don't know about you, but with wristwatches like these, smartwatches don't move us at all. The Harry Winston Opus 14 is another one of those classic wristwatches that smart watches don't reach their knees. Its mechanical mechanism was inspired by the jukeboxes that were once found in every restaurant in America. Opus fans waited a long time for a new model in the series, but the wait was worth it!
The jump from a classic to a smart wristwatch can be painful, which is why many people don't opt for it. Most smart watches are far from reaching the elegance of classic wristwatches. You can already see from Mars that you are carrying a computer. Well, a few examples can at least partly disprove us, but even these examples will not convince the most ardent fans of the classics. But they will be convinced by Chronos, a technological attachment in the form of a button battery that hides inconspicuously under the case and turns a classic wristwatch into a smart watch.
We haven't yet marveled at the Klokers Klok-01 wristwatch, here is the Klokers Klok-02, a beautiful wristwatch that allows us to travel through time. Of course, it is not a pocket time machine (and therefore also a pocket watch), but we can check the current time anywhere in the world with a single push of a button. Which is almost as "cool" as a time machine, isn't it? And even if it isn't, the Klokers Klok-02 should convince you with its unusual appearance.
The 4th Dimension Watch is an aesthetically pleasing wristwatch that connects space and time. It is decorated with an unusual design, as the curved hands circle like an eagle over its prey above the spiral steps that serve as the dial. Each of the 12 steps represents one hour of the day. If you're looking for something different for your wrist, this is it!
Devon Star Wars is a luxury wristwatch that will make you succumb to the temptations of the dark side of the Force. The watch was signed by the prestigious Devon watch brand, which attached an astronomical price to it - 28,500 US dollars, for which you get a wristwatch, which even the best smart watches do not reach to the knees. The hybrid electronic-mechanical watch was produced by the Los Angeles company in cooperation with the American aerospace industry and the production company Lucasfilm, and the unique timepiece will be released in an extremely limited edition.
