Watches & Wonders 2020 Round-Up
Watches & Wonders, formally SIHH, is (was") one of the two big watch shows of the year. A decidedly more luxury affair in Geneva attended by journalists in suits where, as the rumors go, champagne is always at the ready, it?s where the Richemont group and select others would unveil their novelties. This year, of course, the show could not go on as originally planned, but rather than leaving every brand to their own devices, a coordinated virtual weekend of press releases was scheduled. The result was a dizzying onslaught of luxury goods.
As with previous years, while we here at Worn & Wound don?t cover the bulk of these releases, we do still consume them as watch enthusiasts, and inevitably pick favorites. Below is a round-up with each W&W contributor picking just one watch, regardless of price point or brand, to talk about. Enjoy
Mark McArthur Christie – Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date
If you?re the sort of person who fancies a wrist-puck with a triple-moonphase-in-three-galaxies complication, a grand sonnerie and an OBD reader for a Mk1 Miata, avert your eyes. This is not the watch you are looking for. The JLC Master Control Date is what happens when a proper watchmaker strips away all the fripperies and leaves only the essentials. Always has been. Despite being minimal, it?s a design that gets you pulling up your shirt cuff rather more often than is polite; ?Honestly – I’m not checking the time, I?m looking at my watch.?...
