The debate between vintage and avant-garde is a favorite among watch lovers, but it’s no longer their debate. Brands are now chiming in on the subject, and the watches on display at Baselworld 2014 made strong statements for either side. Some reminded everyone of their rich heritage by adapting an iconic case, introducing modern materials to a tested movement, or by exploiting their expertise of a particular complication. For others, the only way was forward, with daring, futuristic, and some might say, provocative designs that would complement any collection nicely. The debate between vintage and avant-garde is far from settled, and the ten watches in the following selection might not stand the test of time themselves, but they are the ones that impressed us the most this year.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend especially when they are backed by complex mechanics! The watch industry is getting serious about watches for women and is developing unique complications instead of adapting those made for men. These five timepieces, introduced at Baselworld 2014, are beautifully engineered. Behind their stunning looks hides some of the most elaborate craftsmanship from high-end watchmakers, including tourbillons and moonphase indicators.
