In its 76th year, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race has become a highly anticipated event on the Australian sporting calendar and attracts global media coverage as the yachts set sail from Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day.
At 628 nautical miles, the course is often described as the most grueling long ocean race in the world. Sail crews from around the world compete in this timed race, starting from Sydney Harbour and sailing down the south-east coast of mainland Australia, across the often choppy Bass Strait and down the east coast of Tasmania to Hobart in a race for the finish line!
The Start Line
Visitors and guests are welcome to participate in the Sydney Race Village festivities from the opening of the Village until after the start of the Rolex Sydney Hobart. Sponsored by Mumm Champagne and Carlton & United Breweries, the Village has a number of attractions and events, including the highly anticipated Rolex Sydney Hobart Crew Party on December 21. Organised by the CYCA Associates Committee, one of the Club’s biggest December events boasts a DJ and late-night dance floor – free to attend for all Members and Rolex Sydney Hobart crews.
The Finish Line
Hobart’s waterfront is busy and buzzing, anticipating and celebrating the arrival of the boats. Come and enjoy the packed program of entertainment, food and drinks, family fun, displays and information at the Hobart Race Village. Nearby, The Taste of Tasmania festival is in full swing celebrating the best Tassie food and drinks on offer and Hobart’s hot spots are within walking distance. Once the boats start rolling in, the atmosphere at Hobart’s Constitution Dock rises excitingly, culminating in the celebration of New Year’s Eve on the waterfront.

The Hofburg Silvesterball | Vienna, Australia
31st December 2020 (Canceled Due To COVID-19)
UPDATE: Due to the current situation and the unforeseeable development of worldwide travel restrictions, the HOFBURG Silvesterball will unfortunately not take place on December 31, 2020.
Since our ball guests have come to Vienna from more than 45 nations so far, we are unfortunately forced to take the situation into account. We thank you for your trust and we are confident that there will be a time for all of us to celebrate again.
Held in the Hofburg Palace, the Hofburg Silvesterball is the highlight of New Year’s Eve in the heart of Vienna. The program includes top-class performers from Vienna’s opera houses, dancers, bands and orchestras playing everything from waltz to jazz to modern pop, making your night at the former imperial winter residence truly unforgettable. In addition to a spellbinding opening ceremony, you will be treated to a fantastic midnight show and a firework display above the old town. Once the fireworks have subsided, keep dancing on until the early hours of the morning. There are plenty of attractions away from the dancefloor too: pick your own lucky four-leaf clover or attach your resolutions for the year ahead on the wish tree.
There are varying levels of tickets – some offering a full 4-course dinner, others reserved seats at a table (categorized by different ballrooms) while others are just entrance and nothing else. Guests can also choose to purchase Waltz dance lessons which are held at the palace earlier in the day (so that you feel confident to whirl around the dance floor later that evening)!

Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris” 2021 Releases
Of all the Calatrava watches since 1932, one model, in particular, has received the most attention – the one with the bezel decorated with a guilloched “Clous de Paris” pattern introduced in 1985.
It is this “Clous de Paris” bezel design Patek Philippe has revived for this year’s new Calatrava designs along with the introduction of an updated manually wound movement, a slightly enlarged case and hour markers in gold for a sleek refined appearance.
Available in two versions, the 2021 Calatrava comes in rose gold with a silvery grained dial and a white gold model with a charcoal gray dial.
Origin and key dates of the Patek Philippe Calatrava “Clous de Paris”
1932 – Launch of the first Calatrava, the famous Ref. 96 (the first Patek Philippe model with a reference number) with the manually wound caliber 12-120.
1934 – The Ref. 96D (“D” short for Décor) features the same manually wound caliber 12-120, the same round dial with applied hour markers, and the same slightly curved strap lugs as the Ref. 96, but distinguishes itself with a bezel decorated with the guilloched “Clous de Paris” motif.
1953 – The Ref. 2526 is the first Patek Philippe wristwatch endowed with a self-winding movement, the caliber 12-600 AT.
1972 – The Ref. 3520D with a manually wound movement (caliber 177) combines a “Clous de Paris” bezel, an hours/minutes dial with Roman numerals, and a case with straight strap lugs.
1982 – The Ref. 3796 with a case and dial inspired by the Ref. 96 is powered by a self-winding caliber 215 PS movement with subsidiary seconds.
1985 – Launch of the famous Ref. 3919 “Clous de Paris” with a manually wound caliber 215 PS movement, subsidiary seconds, white dial with black lacquered Roman numerals and straight lugs. This model, was produced for 20 years and became one of the most celebrated timepieces in the world of horology.
1988 – The Ref. 3992 with a “Clous de Paris” bezel and straight lugs is powered by a self-winding, ultra-thin caliber 240 movement.
2000 – The Ref. 5107 equipped with the self-winding caliber 315 S C movement features a dial with sweep seconds and an aperture date.
2000 – The Ref. 5115 “Clous de Paris” with the manually wound caliber 215 PS movement echoes the dipping curved strap lugs that recall the Refs. 96 and 96D.
2001 – The self-winding caliber 240 movement powers the Ref. 5120 “Clous de Paris” with hour and minute hands, Roman numerals and straight lugs.
2004 – The Ref. 5196 combines a manually wound caliber 215 PS movement with subsidiary seconds as well as a case and dial inspired by the Ref. 96.
2006 – The Ref. 5119 with elongated slender Roman numerals is a reinterpretation of the Ref. 3919 in a slightly larger case (36mm instead of 33.5mm) and it retains the manually wound caliber 215 PS movement as well as the straight lugs.

Breitling reveals their latest watch designs at Watches & Wonders 2021: The Premier Heritage Collection featuring six new Chronograph, Duograph and Datora models.
Breitling’s new releases from Watches & Wonders 2021 include six new Premier Heritage Collection pieces inspired by Breitling’s three-generation of founders.
Léon Breitling, who founded the company in 1884, originally patented a simple timer/tachymeter that could measure any speed between 15 and 150 km/h, an invention featured in the 1906 Vitesse pocket watch.
In 1915, his son, Gaston, created one of the first wrist-worn chronographs with an independent pusher at 2 o’clock. This innovation separated the start, stop, and reset functions from the crown, making it infinitely more practical for timing sports.
Then in 1934, Léon’s grandson, Willy, patented the second independent chronograph pusher at 4 o’clock.
Along with being a watchmaker, Willy also understood people’s desire for elegant and glamorous timepieces, leading him to design the original Premier watches in the 1940s.
“This heritage-inspired design with a stylish modern twist embodies some of Breitling’s most famous innovations, and revives Breitling’s legacy of inventing the modern chronograph. This truly is our heritage revived,” says Georges Kern, Breitling CEO.
The new generation of Premiers – the Breitling Premier Heritage Collection has been designed to bring the timeless elegance back to life and includes pieces from three specific categories: The Chronograph, The Duograph, and The Datora.

Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire Technical Specifications
In 2016 Hublot created the first Big Bang Unico Sapphire crystal watch, and now at this year’s Watches & Wonders event, have revealed the Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire – the first Big Bang with an integrated case and bracelet made entirely from sapphire crystal.
“For such an exceptional creation, we opted for the new Automatic Tourbillon caliber with its sapphire bridges, the transparency of which creates a stunning spectacle,” says Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO. “The act of creating an integrated case and bracelet from sapphire was, however, deemed impossible. But we were the first brand to gain perfect mastery of sapphire, industrializing it and making it reproducible in series production.
It took us five years to bring our first sapphire cases to life – and almost as long for the bracelet. Producing both from sapphire and integrating them together is the pinnacle of the in-depth work undertaken by all of Hublot’s teams. We are proud to be the ones writing the first lines in this new chapter in the history of materials”.
The Big Bang Integral Tourbillon Full Sapphire case has been reconstructed to remove almost all of the visible screws and overhaul the case’s general geometry to integrate it with the sapphire bracelet. Hublot also developed inserts and attachments to allow light through every component.
In terms of the movement, the in-house developed and manufactured HUB6035 automatic manufacture caliber is the beating heart of the piece and is a perfect balance between the micro-rotor at 12 o’clock and the tourbillon at 6 o’clock.

Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery
Launched in 2020, the Big Bang Integral fully integrates the bracelet into the case to achieve a visually balanced design. It is this platform Hublot decided to use as its “High Jewellery” piece for 2020.
Since the “One Million $ Model” reveal in 2007, Hublot has released a unique piece of High Jewellery each year that more often than not exceeds $1,000,000 and this year Hublot has presented the one-off Hublot Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery watch.
Featuring Hublot’s in-house automatic tourbillon caliber housed in a case and bracelet set with 484 baguette-cut diamonds for a total of 31 carats, the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is a fusion of Hublot’s innovation and know-how with High Jewellery in a single 43-mm-diameter piece, all in perfect balance.
“Every year, for the last 14 years, we have created a piece or a collection of exceptional High Jewellery,” says Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO. “This year, the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is our 30th unique piece of High Jewellery. Our primary goal: to surpass all our limits, to challenge ourselves to go beyond our initial expertise of watchmaking, and to achieve the exceptional with watches that are entirely set with precious stones and smash all the records in terms of working hours, the number of carats, the combination of types of setting, and selling point. In so doing, our watchmaking know-how – in terms of mechanisms and complications – and our identity – the fusion of materials – remain essential. Hundreds of hours are spent on preparation – from the design, with regard to setting the precious stones, to searching for and cutting the stones, and to the setting itself – because setting a watch like the Big Bang Integral Tourbillon High Jewellery is a true technical and aesthetic achievement. We never give in to doubt because we like to make the impossible possible.”
