For me, the Tudor Black Bay 41 Monochrome, and the Grand Seiko Green/White GMT, were the stars of the show.

The Cartier Santos Dumont Rewind.

Love the red face and the backwards clock may be insane, but it is definitely a talking point...

Question: Did they fix the movement so if you make a mistake you can go 'back in time' without having to send it back for service? i seem to recall many years ago you had to get it fixed by a watchmaker. Surely they fixed that in the new model ???

Pretty odd, but my favorites are the collaboration MB&F MAD 1X Jean Charles de Castelbajac and the Rolex 1908. Neither of which I’ll be able to get I’m sure…

These pieces are not my traditional style but they resonated with me. The colors and styling are fresh and out the box. Everything else was just meh…

Between Rolex and Tudor, probably the red/black Tudor BB58 GMT on bracelet.

I found W&W to be a bust this year.

First, no Morning Show. That was a big drop. I loved waking up and watching YouTube covering the models. Second, no real earth shaking models. To answer the question asked : I thought the BB monochrome looks great and I might even track that down; I also liked the Rolex GMT black/grey - but I'm not likely to buy it....and I liked the Doxa 200T Those look fun. And that was it. Nice, but as a trade show....kinda meh....

+1 as loved watching their shows, streamed seminars, and evening wrap-up. It was nicely presented, plus it provided manufacturers an opportunity to showcase their latest creations, answer questions, etc.

Surely some luxury magazine can easily create a professional live stream.

Laurent Ferrier! Not nearly enough press. Great release.

The Chopard sector dial is really nice.

I like the gold Tudor but I can't see myself paying more than $5K for a Tudor. Same can be said for the TAG Skipper. Cool watch.

As for Rolex, that 1908 is amazing, great dial.

Some crap too but that's for a different post!

Time to buy one and in 30 years time, it’ll be pretty handy.
