Our Watch Director will choose the best luxury watches for men this spring

MAperielle innovation, unusual case forms and “classics with a turn” continue to dominate the landscape of men. In front of the clocks and miracles in April, when big rackets such as Rolex and Patek Philippe publish their new models for 2025, LVMH – the brands Hublot, Tag Heuer and Louis Vuitton belong to just a few with his publications.

At the end of last year I visited the Hublot Innovation Lab in its production in Nyon, Switzerland, where new materials are dreamed of and the high-tech-colored ceramics (made from zirconium oxide) are tested and tested. A soft, sky blue ceramic is the latest result of this future -oriented department and the perfect shadow for dressing in the new season. Louis Vuitton's fanfare moment was the tambur Convergence with a new in -house movement and unusual housing design that shows the time through a small aperture. There is practically no dial on this watch-a mirror-polished gold housing in which the face would traditionally be located. The result is a mechanical high-tech curiosity.

In the meantime, Vacheron Constantin has finally delivered a steel version of the newly published 222, Vacheron's popular and super cool sports clock, which was introduced for the first time in 1977 when the Swiss house was 222 years old. The model was reissued in yellow gold in 2022, and this steel version of this model is theoretically more accessible in the price (but you will continue to reset 30,800 GBP). Now the brand is celebrating its 270th anniversary. So expect much more of it in the course of the year.
