The combination of hand-craftsmanship, mechanical movements, precious metals, colorful gemstones and high- watchmaking finishes such as grand feu, champlevé, or plique-à-jour enamel are a winning formula. Not only do they add up to unrivaled beauty but they also add value. That makes luxury watches more collectible and sought-after by aficionados than ever before.
SEIKO SPB291 The King Seiko Special Edition recalls the wisteria that bloom in the Kameido Tenjin Shrine in Kameido, Japan — the birthplace of King Seiko watches. The dial is a color known as Tenjin-fuji violet, a shade as nuanced as the perfume of the flower that inspired it. The watch’s sleek 37 mm stainless steel case is water resistant to 100 meters. Inside is an automatic mechanical movement with a 70-hour power reserve.
NOMOS AHOI NEOMATIK ATLANTIK Nomos is one of the most respected brands among watch aficionados for its sleek designs and superlative quality. The Ahoi Neomatik is a very wearable (36.3 mm) dive watch that will take you to 200 meters, with hands and indexes that light up underwater with Super- LumiNova that glows green in the dark.
ORIS PROPILOT X KERMIT EDITION Surely the most cheerful introduction of the year is the Oris ProPilot X Kermit Edition. Oris collaborated with Disney (which owns the Muppets) for the watch. It has a tiny portrait of Kermit that appears in the date window at 6 o’clock on the first of every month. The dial is Kermit-green, the case is titanium, and the movement is the automatic Oris caliber 400 with a 120-hour power reserve.
