Earlier in the year we ran eRelyx Watch Madness – an NCAA-style tournament to crown the hottest watch on the market. The Panera Luminor Marina beat out the IWC Portuguese Chronograph in the finals. (Click the bracket below for a larger version).
We’ll be running another tournament soon. In the meantime, tell us which watches are hot today. Here’s our list, in no particular order:
Panerai Luminor Marina – who are we to argue with you, the readers.
Cartier Ballon Bleu – this watch is on fire! So hard to find pre-owned. And so many celebs are wearing it – Johnny Depp, Tamara Ecclestone, Sofia Vergara, Julianne Hough, Ozzy Osbourne, Adriana Lima, etc. (Click on the celebs’ names to see a picture of them wearing the watch).
IWC Portuguese Chronograph – the runner up from last year. Still very hard to find in great, pre-owned condition. And if you do find one, it won’t come at a big discount to retail.
Rolex Submariner Date or GMT-Master II with Ceramic Bezel – a classic, slightly redesigned. Hard to argue with this legend.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore – a bit edgier. Worn by a ton of celebs in the music and sports world – Jay-Z, Tamara Ecclestone, Novak Djokovic, LeBron James, Justin Timberland, etc. (Click on the celebs’ names to see a picture of them wearing the watch).
IWC Yacht Club – yep, another IWC watch. They know how to make solid, classic, attractive watches. I’ll refrain from adding the Big Pilot, but it could be on the list.
