WatchProSite members share their New Year's Eve watch choices, featuring F.P. Journe, Patek Philippe, and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Discover personal stories and iconic references.

As the year draws to a close, ChristianDK invites the WatchProSite community to reflect on their horological choices for New Year's Eve. His post sparks a delightful tradition, prompting collectors to share the special timepieces accompanying them into the new year. This annual ritual highlights the personal connection collectors have with their watches, transforming them into markers of significant life moments.

I’m slowly beginning preparing for the last day of the year and tonight’s festivities. I just want to take the opportunity to thank you all who contributed this year.

What watch is going to bring you out of the old year and into the new? A calendar watch perhaps? I’ve picked something simple but with seconds.

Happy new year to you all

Christian

Thank you for your always civilized facilitation of this forum. It is a pleasure reading and (sometimes) participating. Tonight, it looks like the Reverso Chronographe Rétrograde will get the nod. The original one from the late 90s. My CB is looking at me sideways, but I think this will be the choice. Happy New Year to all my fellow watch enthusiasts! Claus

Wishing you likewise a spectacular party and a healthy, happy and prosperous (and how could I forget - watch filled) 2026 ahead! Still some time away from being able to join you on the FPJ forum with a Journe of my own but maybe 2027 😊🤷🏻‍♂️🤞🏻
