In the midst of the hectic schedules and bustling halls of SIHH, Andrew and myself, along with freelancers Sandra Lane and Justin Mastine-Frost, found a spare hour to sit down in front of the steady lens of Marcus' camera to discuss our favourite watch of SIHH while they were fresh. But rather than just cherry-pick the (many) exceptional watches on offer, we opted to make things a bit trickier by breaking the watches down by price. So, in part one of our four-part mini-series we talk about the (roughly) sub-$10,000 price point. So, here are (what we think) are the best watches of SIHH 2018 under $10,000. ?Stay tuned for the other instalments.Sandra's pick the Hermes Carre HIt's lovely, the shape of it as it goes onto the wrist is almost like a bathtub.Felix's pick the Montblanc 1858 Chronograph (in bronze)It's a really good, strong, general-appeal chronograph.Andrew's pick the Cartier Santos de CartierCartier are acknowledging a lot of broader trends in the way they've packaged this up.Justin's pick the Zenith CP-2 Flyback BronzeIt looks stunning. Bronze is everywhere now I've got a soft spot for it [bronze] because of the whole forced patina thing.
