AUDEMARS PIGUET Royal Oak Offshore Perpetual Calendar 41 MM $60,900

I never received a wristwatch during the winter holidays. I just don’t come from a line of watch collectors but that didn’t stop me from wishing for one, but that didn’t stop me from wishing for one…

I’ve been left to wonder what my first timepiece would have been if I had found one under the pine tree all those years ago. Would it have provided the spark that so many of us get when handling a truly great timepiece for the first time? Hopefully, I’ll be finding this out right about now.

And I invite all of our readers to share with us their holiday wristshot on Instagram, whether it features a new addition unwrapped earlier this morning, or an old friend whom you wanted to share one of the most joyful week of the year.

In the meantime, make sure not to miss our holiday special, a fabulous editorial photoshoot which includes some of our favourite timepieces launched in 2015, including perpetual calendars from Audemars Piguet and MB&F, the Hublot Big Bang Italia Independent Blue, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Rose Gold and many, many more…

Wishing all of our readers the very best during their holidays,
Arthur
