Limbs. Scenes. Wow. These three words aptly describe what went down at Augusta golf course yesterday evening when Rory McIlroy finally put his Masters hoodoo to bed with a dramatic play-off win against Justin Rose. It was one for the ages, a real ‘remember when Rory did it’ moment. With victory comes golfing immortality as McIlroy has effectively now completed the sport. He is now only the sixth player in history to have his name on all five majors – the last person to do so was Tiger Woods in 2000.

Every spring, Watches and Wonders hits the horology world with a buffet’s worth of the best new watches to froth out over. It’s impossible to convey just how massive the Geneva-based watch fair is – it’s like if Paris, London, Milan, and New York’s fashion weeks were all jammed into a single day.

Forget being aligned to the biggest football tournaments – or some of the most famous players in the world for that matter. Surely a sign of Hublot hitting the big time is when watch nerds on social media start gaining huge fanbases by calling themselves Mr Hublot? 2025 marks a lot of anniversaries in the watch world – Breguet, Audemars Piguet, MB&F and Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato – but few are likely to be celebrated more loudly than Hublot’s Big Bang hitting the big 20.
