My last list a trio of well-priced SIHH offerings could be neatly broken down into a loose theme of air, sea and land. But this trifecta, covering the much broader $10,000 – $35,000 price bracket, is much less easily pigeon-holed. But if I had to find commonalities I could well go with elegant shapes.The Piaget Polo SA case of a simple change making a big difference, I like this rich green take on the sporty Piaget Polo S so much more than I would have expected. It's an absolute cracker, and a real change in personality from the blue.The Cartier Santos de Cartier ChronographNext?up, from Cartier, the masters of shaped watches, is the new Santos de Cartier Chronograph. This is a bit of a funny pick for me, as chronographs, especially more dressy ones, aren't typically my bag. But there you go, the combination of beefed-up Santos case (not that it needed beefing) and unusual chronograph system won me over.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small SecondsThere's not much new or novel here to win me over. It's not a new watch, or even a new case. It's simply a new colour rich red in strap and dial. Really, though, sometimes that's all you need. This JLC Reverso is absolutely gorgeous.
