If you're one to follow luxury watch trends, you may have noticed an inclination towards shrinking timepiece sizes. However, while there is certainly a growing interest in smaller watches for men, big watches are not going anywhere. Feast your eyes on these four beasts that rock the oversized style with pride.

A Nautilus is by any means a desirable watch, but even among its peers, some rank higher on the scale than others. This also depends on what type of collector you are. Some want the very first version, while others prefer a more recent edition with complications. For those who want something really, really rare, is this platinum Nautilus is right up their alley!

Over the last few years, we have seen a trend of ladies watches getting more and more complicated. With this, the watch brands fuel on one side the growing interest among women for these type of watches, while at the same time cater to those who are already ready to add such a watch to their own collection. Van Cleef & Arpels has built a reputation for creating very elegant watches with unusual complications, which they themselves refer to so nicely as poetic.

No excuses; A commitment to yourself is just as important as the ones you make to other people.

So don't meet those new years resolutions, but beat them. These four sports watches won't do it for you but can help you achieve the goals that you set for yourself.

Few watches have made such a mark on the industry in recent years as the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo. That it is a design statement is not so surprising, it is after all a Bvlgari, but it is also the watch that cemented the brand's reputation as bonafide manufacture among the general watch-buying public. The fact that Bvlgari did this with a range of ultra-slim movements is very surprising, yet at the same time not so surprising at all. When most brands want to truly establish themselves as a manufacture, they start making complicated watches, not ultra-slim movements that only tell time. However, one of the benefits that ultra-slim movements provide is far more freedom regarding the design of the watch. That is of course when you are able to design and make a reliable, ultra-slim movement in the first place.

In the last few decades, it has become a common practice for watch brands to team up with actors, athletes, and other well-known individuals as a part to market their products. In the beginning, this approach was often quite simple, combining a famous name and face to a watch model already existing in the collection. In some cases, special limited editions were made, but again it was usually the watch brand that decided on the design, with limited influence of the celebrity.

One of the most popular complications in the world of watches is still the chronograph. It adds a dynamic feature to a watch and more ways to interact with it. With various subdials it also makes the watch look more sportive and technical. No wonder that the vast majority of brands often have several chronograph models to choose from. However, there are a few that go beyond just being a chronograph, and have once broken the mold in this category.
