Favorite offerings from Watches and Wonders 2023
Okay, what are your two or three favorite watch releases? For me it is the Rolex Perpetual 1908 and the Cartier Tank Normale.
Great choices!
I would add Patek 5224R, the ingenieur in titanium, the ultra thin pink dial alpine eagle by Chopard. Trilobe Une Folle Journée Diamant is an exercise in excess, but impressive given it was done by a small independent brand! Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribu...
Personally....
I very much appreciate the 'audacity' of it, relative as it may be when it comes to all manufacturers in general........
Thanks for a very interesting thread to recap this pretty amazing week...incredibly difficult to give only three, but let me list the following pieces (I'm just not considering the latest out-of-catalog Patek Rare Handcrafts in this selection :-)
#1: Patek 5531G #2: Patek 5316P #3: And yes, to be always fair and fun, also the new "Celebration OP" from Rolex (41mm)! Cheers. ...
I am sorry but the question was about "offerings"!
Just kidding, unobtainable but wonderful - all 3! I had a chance to see, alas not listen to, the first one in person - spectacular.
Technically correct, since someone will be offered them (and I bet they won't refuse! ;-)) I'm of course familiar with the original (non-limited) R version from visits to Geneva, but I badly look forward to seeing this new G this summer! :-) Cheers.
My girlfriend's drawing (this is a real unique piece! ;-))) ...
1908!
Thinking of having a watchmaker throw some anglage on the bridges and rotor, just for added enjoyment.
For me?

My winners
Baume et Mercier Riviera Azur 300m with Baumatic. Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Concept. Special note for Grönefeld 1969 Delta Works Rubber Clad Inserts.
I really enjoyed
The panerai that came out, especially the new « brunato » finish on cases ...
Nothing that makes me want to go bother an AD for
My favorite were- Chopard 1860 Reverso gold (can't decide black or burgundy) IWC ingenuir ti Bonus - Cartier prive normale platinum
I like your choices of the Rolex 1908 and the Cartier Tank Normale. Great looking pieces, though IMO they're not quite all that they could be.
The Rolex 1908 movement could be finished to a higher standard for the price point (or just lower the price). And while I absolutely love the platinum Tank Normal bracelet, the white metal handset leaves me cold. That watch would be a showstopper with a s...
I may be in minority here
But I feel that the new watches, in general, was boring. I mean, not even a single watch that I'd say wow, I must have that one. Some, few, nice watches. but mostly, mix and match of cases and movements, and this or that color. Patek, for me, wins #1 in d...
My twin brother. :-)
This for example, makes me happy (78, unpolished, from first owner-I've owned it 10 years now) ...
