Belstaff, the British heritage adventure luxury brand, drops a gorgeous new campaign today called, “Worship the Ground” to highlight their iconic Belstaff Trailmaster boot. Since it’s creation in 1955, the boot has been worn by racers, aviators, and pioneers like Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who had been called “the world’s greatest living explorer,” according to the Guinness Book of World Records). He is the first man to reach both Poles, the first to circumnavigate the world along its poler axis, and he nabbed the Sultan’s Bravery Medal from the Queen of England for fighting terrorists in the late 60s.

He’s the star of the “Worship the Ground” campaign along with Riley Harper, a famed Hollywood stuntman—a series of images shot by famed British portrait and fashion photographer, Rankin. The photographs explore what the catchphrase means to Fiennes and Harper. The artwork highlights the strength of the boot, which is made from 100% cowhide leather and lined in calf leather and uses a story Italian-made rubber sole. With a zipper and two straps, the boot is easy to kick on and off all the while providing your feet and ankles with top grade support.

Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.

The watch world is rich with history. With brands like Rolex, Omega, and Tudor coming out of Switzerland, it is easy to forget that they all owe a little part of their success to the father brand of all wristwatches, Patek Philippe. Since they created the first Swiss wristwatch for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary in 1868, they have innovated and led the way to create a massive watch industry that chronophiles love.

This year, at Watches and Wonders, they showed again that they are the best in the business by providing a whole slate of timepieces for us to ogle for the coming year. Here are all the watches Patek Philippe dropped in Geneva that you need to know about.
