The Hublot is simply a stunning time piece.
The design incorporates a polished and brushed black ceramic case that measures 44.5mm. The whole thing is held together with H-shaped titanium screws, Kevlar lateral inserts, double AR coated sapphire crystals and a titanium back plate.
The movement is automatic and incorporates 252 parts, a rhodium plated sandblasted mainplate, polished bevelled satin brushed bridges and a Tungsten oscillating weight.
The strap and buttons are black rubber, which form part of a design that has a water resistance to 100m.
You get all of this for £4,370 ($8,085)

There seems to be a resurgent hullaballoo going on at the moment about “Tiret New York Second Chance” time pieces. Personally I find them a very sickly form of bling, but they are considered a luxury item by some, hence them being featured here.
Tiret’s co-founder Hip Hop Producer Damon Dash is behind these unique watches and they seem to be flying off the shelves.
Retailing for a staggering £24,000 (some customised watches have retailed for as much as $1 million) the Second Chance Chronograph which has been designed by Daniel Lazar is largely a piece of overt “look at me” work. Nothing wrong in that and for those bling fanatics out there good luck to you with this one - but for me personally, it really doesn’t cut it in terms of style. Yes, each timepiece includes 519 Belgian Exire diamonds (that’s five times the Tag Heuer Diamond Fiction) but sometimes less is more!

It’s called the Tag Heuer Calibre and is really, really, really something special. Here’s the lowdown:
