Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 360 (HK$123,900) 'It is one of the most accurate watches in the market. As a mechanical watch, it can mark 1/100 of a second. This watch is a limited edition with only 100 pieces in the world.' Corum Admiral's Cup competition 48 (HK$41,600) 'This watch has a huge diameter of 47mm. The trend is for big watches and the market wants sporty designs. This Corum watch has it all.' Zenith Defy Classic Power Reserve Elite (HK$45,000) 'A lot of people ask for this watch. It's made of different materials and gets its design concept from cars. It has a black titanium case with rotating bezel and screw-in crown. Its bracelet has a rough texture. This watch is full of character.' IWC Aquatimer Cousteau Divers (HK$43,700) 'This watch is dedicated to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, a French explorer, ecologist and researcher who studied the sea and all forms of marine life, and to Calypso, a ship he equipped with a mobile laboratory for field research. It is a limited edition, with 2,500 pieces around the world. Every watch has a piece of wood from Calypso embedded in the back.' Breguet Marine (HK$144,000) 'Breguet doesn't have many sporty watches, but this is one of the rare ones with a plastic strap. Movements are quality assured. This watch is sporty but as elegant as other Breguet models.'

Sarcar Solitaire (HK$1.52 million) 'This watch has diamonds weighing 16 carats. A lot of men like this watch, especially those in the gambling business because the spinning diamonds symbolise quick turnover and it is believed to bring good luck. We have sold six watches in the past couple of months despite the high price.' Franck Muller Masterdate (HK$251,000) 'It shows the month, date and weekdays and has a very creative design.' Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grand Reveil (HK$258,000) 'This watch has a very manly design. It has an alarm and is the first mechanical watch to vibrate. The watch also has a display window showing a sun or moon, representing day or night.' Omega Seamaster James Bond Co-Axial (HK$22,600) 'The Omega is popular because of James Bond. This model is a limited edition and 10,007 watches have been made. But in the new James Bond movie (out on November 17), Bond doesn't wear this watch, he wears an Omega Planet Ocean.' Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore (HK$141,000) 'This is very popular and good for men and women.'
Betty Leung, managing director of Prince Jewellery & Watch

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony (HK$209,000) 'Vacheron Constantin is a popular mechanical brand, especially on the mainland. This watch is square and many people looking for a square watch tend to choose this one.' DeWitt Chronographe Sequentiel Sport (HK$218,000) 'This brand is new to Asia but it is a renowned Swiss brand. It had a much better start in Asia than expected. People like its unique design.
