10 great watches from Watches & Wonders 2024

Live Mint  

As always with Watches & Wonders, it is nigh on impossible task to pick favourites. The superb new Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT is a case in point, or Grand Seiko’s handwound version of the ‘White Birch’ for that matter. With that in mind, it was extremely refreshing to see brands offering timepieces with complicated movements, like the Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Duometre Heliotourbillon or the IWC Portugieser Eternal Calender. However, there were watches that bucked that trend too, like Zenith’s many new iterations within the Defy line, or Nomos Glashütte’s funky limited edition versions of the Tangente. ZENITH DEFY REVIVAL A3648: While Zenith is renowned for making one of the first automatic chronographs in the 60s, this capable diver recreates the brand’s important 1969 dive watch.

It’s a fool’s errand to create an objective list of the “best watches of 2022”. This year, we got great watches for every budget, and, mercifully, this year’s releases also confirmed that watch sizes are moving back in the smaller direction. I’ve written about it in this column before, so I will say just this: I never liked gold watches, …
