Watchlist

I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to become a “watch guy.”

I recently gave in to a years-long desire for a Tag Heuer Carrera automatic chronograph. Apparently watches are like tattoos: it’s hard to stop at one.

Here are some of the timepieces that I’d love to (someday, Sarah, someday) have on my wrist. First up, the BR 01-93 GMT by Bell & Ross.

This smart-looking and giant watch has a date window and a second timezone display (indicated by the orange arrow). Looks to be around $3,500.

My next lust object is alas only a prototype. Tag Heuer’s Monaco Twenty Four concept watch. The movement is sandwiched between its sapphire face and case back, and suspended by four shock-absorbers. It looks amazing. In all likelihood, won’t ever be offered for sale.

Finally, we have the Rolex Day-date II in platinum with black concentric dial. Elegant, and definitely a dress-up watch. Around $40,000. Someday, man.
