Luxury Watches:
For more than 75 years, Lacoste has been a luxury lifestyle brand both on and off the court. What began with an iconic crocodile logo embroidered polo has evolved into a full collection of apparel and accessories for men, women and children.
The collection of Lacoste timepieces range from the sleek and sophisticated Club Collection, the everyday yet elegant Sportswear Collection, and the high-performance Sport Collection. As part of the Sport Collection, the Biarritz Rose combines form and function effortlessly and is the perfect complement to any ensemble.

Luxury Watches: At Baselworld this year, the bar was considerably raised for watch manufacturers as industry leaders introduced more complicated movements, new advancements in time-telling technology, and some of the most stunning horological concepts the market has ever seen.
But while luxury timepiece brands were busy diving headfirst into innovation with completely new pieces and collections, they were also working hard to bring their classics into the 21st century with updates and additions to existing collections. This is just what Ulysse Nardin has accomplished with the newly refreshed Dual Time Collection.
Luxury Watches: Bell & Ross' BR-01 Airborne limited edition released at the last Baselworld Fair was a great hit. It may not exude professionalism like its more traditional counterparts, but the design of the watch is all about paying tribute to the type of professionals that Bell & Ross base their company credo on. With the new limited edition BR-01 Airborne 415 and BR-01 Airborne 672, Bell & Ross bridges a fairly wide gap between Military and bejewelled Haute Joellerie watches.
Luxury Watches: Vacheron Constantin and the Barbier-Mueller Museum have joined forces in changing the face of haute horology. Inspired by the ancient art of tribal masks, Vacheron Constantin has introduced its latest four-piece series in the Métiers d'Art Les Masques collection.
Each year, Vacheron Constantin has revealed its superb craftsmanship to the world with the annual release of Métiers d'Art. Only 25 sets are produced each annually, adding to the collection's value and exclusivity. Each individual timepiece in the Métiers d'Art Les Masques collection provides a remarkable representation of primitive art, spanning over 2,000 years and four continents.

Luxury Watches: Since Baselworld 2009, the watch industry has seen the reemergence of the classic, hand-crafted timepiece.

Luxury Watches: At this year's Baselworld fair in Switzerland, Alpina announced many new additions to its Avalanche Extreme line of watches. One offers a function that Alpina fans have been waiting for since the Avalanche Extreme collection was first released. The new automatic chronograph model. It is bound to appeal to a wide range of enthusiasts.
Chronograph watches in general are very popular. You will find dedicated books and web sites, and the complication has had its role in shaping military and sport history. Alpina's Avalanche Extreme Chronograph runs on the AL-850 calibre - Alpina's new automatic chronograph movement. The mechanism is equipped with 25 jewels and is beautifully decorated as are the rest of the company's movements. Through the see-through "exhibition" back of the watch case, you can admire the black PVD coated oscillating rotor, which is engraved with the company logo and partly cut out to show more of the movement's components underneath.
