Piaget Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Automatic

Piaget Emperador Coussin Tourbillon Automatic 

This large, 10.2 mm thick watch is incredibly wearable -- for a piece that costs $190,000. With the world’s thinnest automatic tourbillon, it takes away the bulk typically associated with the spinning carriage of the tourbillon. Add that to the micro-rotor placed right in front of the dial, and you have one of the most visually grasping wristwatches I’ve ever seen. It will certainly attract attention despite being as thin as your average manual wind, but when someone asks what it is, you’ll be able to tell them it’s the world’s thinnest. A truly remarkable watch to wear.

Ralph Lauren Sporting Chronograph Guilloche Dial 39 mm 

This watch was introduced last year, but now it’s back with a guilloche dial. This is an excellent dress chronograph and is perfectly elegant at 39 mm. This watch is an amazing wear because it is rather small, and on the wrist it has great presence, especially in bright light where you can see all the work that went into the dial. This is really a stunning chronograph from Ralph Lauren. There aren’t many chronographs you can wear with a tuxedo, but this is definitely one you can. With elegance and sportiness in a watch, the woman in your life will certainly approve.

JLC Reverso Ultra Thin 

The JLC “Tribute to 1931” Reverso may be the watch getting all the attention this year, but the standard production model may wear even better. On the wrist it is tall (46 mm high) but very thin. To me, with its black leather strap and white textured dial, it’s like a tuxedo for your wrist. It is pure class, and those around you know you mean business. This is the 80th anniversary of the Reverso, and this may be the best one yet. The only downside (to some) is that it must be manually wound.
