This is why we can’t have nice things. Okay, maybe that’s overly dramatic, but suffice it to say that I was looking forward to wearing this sweet new MB&F M.A.D.2 green watch by Eric Giroud for about two weeks, all the way until the late-March embargo expired, to be able to give you a full review.

In 2024, ABTW readers made themselves heard over 20,000 times. Our comment section creates a small community, offers readers a chance to give their own thoughts on watches, and even seems to create friendships (or internet facsimiles thereof). There’s always plenty of negativity (though our moderators try to make sure things stay civil), but there are also jokes, praise, and storytelling. The focus is always on watches, but sidebars are a common feature.

Our guesses at what will be a hit with readers, though, are often about as accurate as a weather forecaster.

As the year comes to a close and we spend time with families and friends over the holidays, it’s time once again to think back on the year and share watches the aBlogtoWatch team wore most this year. As is our wont, we’ve all brought new pieces into the collection and rediscovered the beauty and joy of old pieces. The watches below found their way onto our wrists more than any others and helped define the year in watches as we experienced it.

The year is coming to an end and, as such, it’s time to reflect a bit on the bounty of new watches we saw this year. As watch lovers, there’s a part of us that appreciates every watch that comes out — more watches is a good thing and means the industry and the hobby are chugging along. But we are also a group with very strong opinions, and inevitably some releases get panned and some get praised.

A foundational value at most elite watchmaking institutions in Switzerland is the freedom of not having to rush. Taking your time to do it right, do it well, and do it beautifully are what many enthusiasts value from top-tier production facilities. Factories that are in a rush, often make high volumes of lower-complexity goods for the mass market. Factories that can take their time with each item they make, are where marvelous and intricate things are made.

They call the space “La Fabrique des Arts,” and it is an apt description of what happens here. Louis Vuitton’s La Fabrique du Temps has assembled a dream team of experienced artisans to make their luxury timepieces among the most beautiful and elaborate in the world.
