Today, three of the LVMH watch brands – Bvlgari, Hublot and Zenith – are releasing part of their new collections for 2021. As part of the novelties presented by Hublot this year, we have new takes on the Big Bang, with classic or complex movements, playing on materials and colours, as well as a new women's watch. Let's get an overview of the 2021 Hublot watches.Big Bang Integral Ceramic in new ColoursThe trend for watches with integrated bracelets is showing no sign of abating. Following this trend, Hublot unveiled the Big Bang Integral last year at the LVMH Watch Week 2020. The model can be distinguished from other Big Bang watches by its three-link bracelet integrated into the 42mm case. Following the already existing black ceramic version, Hublot now launches the Big Bang Integral in three new ceramic colours; white, navy blue and grey.

Introducing the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater now in Platinum - Monochrome-Watches
During the past few weeks, there had been quite a few novelties from Vacheron Constantin, with for example, one that was quite interesting, THE most complicated watch in the world. At the 2015 Edition of Watches & Wonders, Vacheron Constantin also renew one of their long-time tradition: bespoke and unique watches, with the release of their Cabinotier collection.?Alongside these exciting novelties, there's also quite an understated and discreet one, that hides however a superb watch - that can also argue to be a technical prowess - the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater, that comes now in platinum.Everything in this watch is discretion and understatement, starting from its introduction to its actual look. Except for the target used to actuate the minute repeater mechanism on the left side of the case,?the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Ultra-Thin Minute Repeater Calibre 1731 is simply traditional and classical, making it impossible to imagine the superb movement
Hands-On Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years Of James Bond Steel
In 1962, on the 5th of October to be precise, the world discovered a character that will become a legend of the silver screen. Adapted from the 1958 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, Dr. No will start an emblematic series of 25 movies featuring a British secret agent working for MI6 under the codename 007, James Bond. 60 years later, the impact of the series is undeniable. James Bond isn't only a character, it's a lifestyle, gathering elements that have become as iconic as the man. Cars, of course, such as the DB5, but also watches. And if multiple brands have been involved in the earliest days, Omega has, since 1995 and GoldenEye, become the archetypal Bond Watch. And now, both parties celebrate 60 years of 007 movies, with the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years Of James Bond. And if it comes in steel and with new colours, the main topics are the comeback of the wave dial and the cool animated caseback… Some good GoldenEye vibes are in!60 Years of James Bond 007 Movies
Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Power Reserve Chronometer, the heavy diver - Monochrome Watches
The choice for dive watches is quite literally endless. There are thousands of good, very good, or extremely good dive watches out there. There are also plenty of so-so dive watches, so it is very possible to lose track of what's what in this popular category. Thus, we feel it is our duty to share some options outside the beaten path of Submariners, Seamasters or Panerais. One of these options is Clerc, a brand dedicated to dive watches with a bold design. Today, we bring you the Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Power Reserve Chronometer, first introduced last year, in one of our extensive reviews, including specs, lots of pictures and of course, our personal thoughts!A dive watch is not only popular amongst actual divers. Most are very rugged, usable tool-watches but a lot of them never go near their depth ratings. Nevertheless, most of them see water in one way or another (shower, swimming pool, heavy rain) so it is a comforting thought that your precious watch is able to take a bit of a beating
