Both elicit a cool factor that sets them apart from the typical high jewelry fare.

In a time in which global economies are full of uncertainty, the watch industry is clearly doubling down on its top-end client in hopes their bank accounts are more likely to weather the storms ahead. New releases were dominated by high complications, heavy artisanal decoration, and a lot of gold.
