Haute Timepieces: Franc Vila FV Evos 8 Cobra Blue Bandido Watch

Watch collectors either love or hate designs from Franc Vila. No other watch has a face that loosely resembles a cobra head—set into a case that looks like an egg sitting on its side. The reptilian look is furthered by the segmented scale style of the rubber strap (a separate crocodile strap is also included).

Haute Timepieces: Rebellion T-1000 Watch

There is no doubt that the name of Rebellion’s newest flagship “T-1000” model holds a double meaning. While “T-1000” clearly refers to the watch’s intense volume of power reserve for the mechanical movement, it is also the name given to the villainous liquid metal android from the future in the 1991 movie Terminator 2.

Haute Timepieces: A. Lange & Sohne Grande Lange 1 Luminous Watch

Many watch owners take for granted their luminant watch dial; though this component is typically a standard feature on timepieces, many classic luxury timepieces do not possess this luminescent ingredient. So, no, your typical high-end watch will not glow in the dark.

Haute Timepieces: Blancpain Carrousel Répétition Minutes Le Brassus Watch

For serious watch enthusiasts the most interesting fact about the new Carrousel Repetition Minutes Le Brassus watch from Blancpain is a relatively obscure technical feature. If you are familiar with the high-end movement complication known as the tourbillion, you may have heard of its cousin, the carrousel (aka “karrusel”)?

Haute Timepieces: Glashütte Original Senator Diary Watch

Swatch Group’s finest offerings for 2010 are arguably from its German made Glashütte Original brand. A new complication in its perpetually fashionable Senator line is an alarm that can be set up to a month in advance. Typically, mechanical alarm watches only allow you to set the time of day for the alarm to ring, with a setting to switch the alarm on or off.
