10 best watches for men of 2018
From Rolex to Bulgari, check out our list of the year’s most exquisite watches for gents
As we wrap up another year of great watchmaking, we take a look at some of our favourite launches this year. From revived classics and vintage reinterpretations to wholly new executions of complications, here are 10 watches that defined 2018 for us.
1. Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona
This one needs no explanation.
Photographs of the latest Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona flooded social media in March when it debuted at Baselworld. The 40mm timepiece, which comes in Everose gold, boasts rainbow-coloured, baguette-cut sapphires decorating the bezel.
The timepiece is driven by the Perpetual calibre 4300, which comes with 72 hours of power reserve.
2. Blancpain Tourbillon Volant Heure Sautante Minute Rétrograde
The 42mm timepiece comes with a flying tourbillon at 12 o’clock (which looks as if it is suspended in air, a trick made successful by removing the lower bridge and replacing it with a sapphire disk) – but the real star of the show is the jumping hour and retrograde minute complications at 6 o’clock.
