personally i dont view it as winner and non winners... being at this high level of watch making , is a win in itself .

 Thanks foversta

It was great to see Laurent Ferrier get recognition for the  Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral.  From the pictures, it strikes me as one of the most beautifully-finished watches I've ever seen. The movement's finish is just gorgeous.

Congrats to Seiko on its win....now will you please focus a little more on the U.S. market and bring in more of your product?  (e.g., commemorative edition Grand Seikos, Credor, etc.).  And while I'm at it, where's your East Coast U.S. distributor?

I'm sure it's a design and technological tour de force, but the MB&F looks like an owl to me.....but maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Congratulations to the various brands for winning their prestigious awards. 

But special congratulations to Laurent Ferrier, the creator of my favorite tourbillon watch ever. 

 

 

A well respected and deserved win for the Resonance's 10yr anniversary. The Resonance is still unique and has earned it's place in the history books of horology. Congratulations!!!

It was a brave move to change the balanced and symmetrical dial of the original Resonance to this, but it has grown on me and carries the additional 24-hour information in in 'easy' to read manner. I like the splash of red in the minute dial as well. It would have been easy to stay with the success of the original, but this redesign has payed off with the award this week.

Congratulations to F.P. Journe.

My vote for FP Journe

best,

The watches are all beautiful!

And a special congratulations to Laurent Ferrier, for creating such a gorgeous timepiece.

And also to Greubel & Forsey as well as Harry Winston for designing & crafting such unique looking pieces.
