We live in a time when all manner of influences have resulted in watches being more popular than in any previous decade. While COVID has played a role, its effects – no travel, more money to spend at home etcetera – have driven up demand in an unexpected way. Meanwhile, Instagram and mushrooming enthusiast groups have been stimulating watch conversation and collecting. Then there’s a simple truth about the product itself: it has never been better made or more accurate.

This year’s crop illustrates the turning point: while today’s watches tell the time, more than ever they’re designed to say something about the wearer. Over to you . . .The Speake Marin Dual Time Pink lives up to its name. Presenting two time displays and lashings of pink (Pantone 700C, thank you), the open-worked dial gives a glimpse of the self-winding movement’s workings.

Its estimated 21 per cent revenue growth last year is based on a 14 per cent growth in volume thanks to 2022 production estimated at 1.2 million units. Girard-Perregaux Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition; Chanel J12 Cybernetic and Mademoiselle Prive.The Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition takes cues from the first Laureato launched in 1975 but skins the power unit in ultra-modern ceramic for the case and bracelet. Offered in 42mm and 38mm sizes, each is a limited edition and thereby destined to remain as rare a sight as an Aston winning a GP. That said, the watch is no slouch . . . $36,000-odd.
