“Top Ten Novelties From Watches & Wonders 2023”
Nice selection.
https://monochrome-watches.com/recap...rera-glassbox/ If there is one that doesn’t belong in the list, it’s the Ingenieur, IMHO. Generic movement, ugly crown guards and way overpriced. |

A slow year. What all of our wallets needed no doubt.

Definitely a year to recover from last year’s excitement for our wallets.

This year only the FFC and the 5316 are exciting but out of my reach. |

These Patek references have been released for a while hence I did not include them. I thought #5 and #6 are very accessible for collectors as they are not limited. That LUC 1860 production is 100 per year starting in 2024.

Love Monochrome mag, but their list on that page really misses the mark Looking forward to Simon's timepiece reaching enthusiasts.

Can easily see all being sold now (spoke with Simon in January). From the 'sneak peek pics' back then, it was easy to see the very high handcraftsmanship. Bravo to Simon and the watchmakers.... and very much look forward to your pics :)

Of the watches listed, the Reverso Chrono would be my choice. I'm not a huge dress watch fan, but that is one that I would happily wear to any formal or semi-formal occasion. Stunning watch in the flesh.
