Luxury watches are crafted with precision, for excellence and endurance, and backed by many years of tradition. These are some of the reasons timepieces have remained so cherished over the years, so collectable across generations, immune to fickle passing trends.
Here STYLE gathers watches tailored for all occasions from Jaeger-LeCoultre, Panerai, Richard Mille, Rolex and Speake-Marin: some suited to the pressures of diving, others to those of the C-suite, or to the need to make an impression at social functions. All might make a memorable addition to your dream watch collection.
