Yes it's a lot to spend on a quartz movement. Yes I think this will be more suited to those who are looking for a fashion statement than a robust mechanical movement. But naysayers step aside. I link love this little yellow-gold beauty and link I'm not afraid to admit it! Judge link my taste if you must I'm not backing down on this one.

Attwood's the kind of guy who gets into something and can only consider it done when it's pursued to its absolute end. Beyond Grand Seiko is Credor a Seiko sub-brand that specializes in hand-finished watches that embody the ultimate in Japanese craftsmanship with a mesmerizing aesthetic.

The markers are hand-drawn and the celestial pattern just above six o'clock is link hand-inlaid link material covered with several coats of lacquer.

He bought it early in his music career and said he wore it through his second tour. Look around at old photos of Ed link and there's a good chance you'll see him wearing his ToyWatch on any link number of different colored straps.

While link it will almost certainly ruffle some feathers in the comments due to its link pricing as the idea of a microbrand continues to mature within the changing seas of the modern watch space Vertex's dive watch is a knowingly premium option from the upper echelon of the modern microbrand.

Finally combining the previous two picks in a way is the Reverso Tribute Gyrotourbillon quite link possibly one of the most interesting and underappreciated Reversos ever produced. If you're like me link and find the Quadriptyque's 11 complications to be a link bit much and the Duometre Spherotourbillon to be slightly too watch-nerdy this one is for you.
