The start of a new year is a perfect, and traditional, time to reconsider where we want to stand in life. Many New Years resolutions are made, and why not also apply one to your wrist. Give the new year a fresh start, and start 2018 in style with one of these four watches!

Breguet Tradition Dame 7038

Breguet Tradition Dame 7038
Although a very elegant timepiece, it is not only the looks with which this Breguet Tradition Dame 7038 entices you! Also on a technical level is a very tempting watch fitted with the inverted in-line lever escapement which is a signature feature of this collection, combined with its various high-tech silicon parts, such as the pallets and the balance spring. While the engine turned mother of pearl dial reflects old school dignity, the rest of the watch is full of action, not only because of the visible gear train and balance wheel, but also due to the retrograde seconds on the left side of the watch. Wrapped in a 37mm rose gold case with a diamond bezel, this Breguet is also in terms of size, just right!

Franck Muller Vanguard

Franck Muller Vanguard Lady Moon Phase
Franck Muller has always been known for its elegant case shapes and intricate use of diamonds. With the Vanguard Lady Moon Phase, it shows once again what an amazing looking watch you get when you bring those two together. The case is set with colorless, brilliant cut diamonds, which is a challenge in itself given all the curves. Also, the dial features a pave setting, in which the oversized Arabic numerals seem to float on top, while it at the same time highlights the moon phase at six o’clock.

Hublot Big Bang One Click Italia Independent

Hublot Big Bang One Click Italia Independent
Hublot‘s collaboration with Italia Independent fortunately also extends to their ladies watches, combining the brand’s unique style with Swiss watchmaking perfection. By combining diamonds, velvet, and ceramic, Lapo Elkann and Hublot have created a surprising, contemporary watch, with an intriguing personality. It blends in and stands out in a way that only an Italian design can, and is one of those watches you simply don’t want to take off and become your faithful daily companion.

Cartier Panthere

Cartier Panthere
The Cartier Panthere was an icon in the 1980’s, yet its design so timeless that it is not surprising that Cartier reintroduced this watch early last year. Instantly recognizable as a Cartier, it is one of those watches that is always suitable, and fitted with the Figaro-bracelet, it is also very comfortable to wear. While this diamond set version is bound to attract even more attention, Cartier also offers a few versions that are a bit more under the radar.
