The 35 Best Men’s Watches to Buy in 2020 fake Cartier
Many ask me which watch to buy.
I often answer a smartwatch.
They are practical, full of functions and thanks to the apps who knows what they will do one day. In 2020 they are what was quartz in 1969: one of the many essential innovations of that endless process called progress.
But whether it’s a pocket or a wrist even after centuries, the watch is still the best friend that a man can always carry with him.
That the watches cost a few tens of euros or unreachable figures, you fake Cartier can even look at them just to please yourself and when others make you understand who you are. Smartwatches – all the same – no, or not yet. When I am in a restaurant I notice that many people have the exact same model on their wrist, like having an iPhone. But a telephone is not normally a personal object, a clock is.
If you think of a sports companion, look for it among a robust everyday model or an underwater timepiece that is waterproof up to 100 meters. If you think of an elegant model do not stop at the first appearance and look beyond: sometimes just replacing a strap to change its face and at the same time it will become even more your personal effect.
Do not neglect to choose it of a size suitable for your wrist: it is useless to buy a watch just because it is famous (and others like it) if you will immediately see that it is not suitable for you.
What you will see is not a ranking of the best watch brands but a guide to buying what the undersigned would buy now. In this list you will find prestigious watches as proposals for all budgets.
THE BEST WATCHES FROM A TO Z:
1. anOrdain Model 1
You never had the courage to even ask how much a watch with a Grand Feu enamel dial costs but today you can even afford it. anOrdain is an independent watchmaking laboratory located in Scotland and produces around 380 watches per year. The translucent reflections of the Model 1 dial are thrilling. It mounts a reliable and basic Sellita SW200-1 and various colors can also be chosen for the straps. A handmade product sold at a staggeringly cheap price. They also build a second, more informal model.
Price: £ 1,200 (approximately € 1,433 plus tax)
2. Armin Strom Gravity Equal Force
The latest news from Armin Strom, an independent Haute Horlogerie brand, could just be the case for those who have the mechanics running through their veins. It is a watch whose movement has a special charging barrel: deeply modified it contains a system for stopping and disengaging the automatic winding. The goal is to ensure constant strength. A mechanical feat to drive the most competent watchmaker crazy with envy.
Price: CHF 16,900 (approximately € 15,066 plus tax)
3. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Automatic
Since 1993, the Royal Oak Offshore collection has offered an even sportier interpretation of the mythical Royal Oak resulting from the futuristic pen of Gérald Genta. The model I chose is the latest new 2019: it has a 42 mm steel case with screwed crown and blue ceramic chronograph pushers. The blue dial with “Méga Tapisserie” motif, Cal 3126/3840 manufacture movement and blue rubber strap are also a must.
Price: € 26.500
4. Bell & Ross BR V2 -93 GMT 24H
Bell & Ross has made a name for itself with its famous square clocks that incorporate the instrumentation of the airplane dashboard, the BR 03 series, so to speak. I chose this more traditional BR V2 for its characteristics of vintage military watch and for the presence of a second GMT time zone marked with a nice orange arrow. 41 mm steel case, waterproof up to 100 meters, playing with different colored straps you could wear it on many occasions.
Price: € 2.900
5. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barakuda
Contemporary of the Submariner, but marketed a year earlier, the Fifty Fathoms is the diving watch par excellence. Powered by caliber 1151, a high-manufacturing automatic with silicon spiral, this limited edition of 500 pieces incorporates the first models of the 1960s and has a 40.3 mm case (five less than the standard models).
Price: € 14.920
6. Braun BN0021
I love the Bauhaus and all the design inspirations it has generated. Also of German origin, designed in the 80s, like the Max Bill, the Braun BN0021 is also the transposition of a kitchen clock into a wristwatch. Absolutely one of the best watches that you can find under 100 euros (costs even half), seeing it popping replica watches out of the cuff makes a beautiful figure. Endless class at a lower price than a plastic watch. (At the time of writing, it is on offer and costs less than 50 euros).
Price: € 49
7. Bulova Lunar Pilot
Also called “the other Moonwatch”, it is the faithful copy of the Bulova Chronograph that accompanied the astronaut David Scott, commander of the Apollo 15 mission to the Moon. Immediately after the original model was found and sold at an auction for the crazy amount of $ 1,650,000 Bulova has made a remake and put it on sale since 2016. If your wrist can afford the 45mm case diameter it is a super best buy.
Price: € 489.00
8. Cartier Santos by Cartier Chronograph
After completely reinventing the Santos in 2018, in 2019 Cartier added several new and large chronographs to the collection. I chose the steel version with a bezel coated with a black ADLC treatment that continues on the bracelet, also in stainless steel. With 43.3 mm on the wrist it certainly does not go unnoticed and its movement reveals a gem on the case: the long start and stop button of the chronograph is centered on the left case while the zero reset occurs by pressing a button coaxial to the winding crown .
Price: € 8.800
