Are you looking forward to any specific brands or models? As for myself I’m keeping an eye on Citizen and Tissot and I’m always curious to see what Casio comes with.

    I want a watch with “Geneva” written inside, as it is my birthplace and my center of the world.

    That limit the brands, and models.

    I found one that I like but it is a bit expensive, from a now bankrupt brand that moved outside of Geneva.

    If things go well, I’ll get a Breguet. Classique Quantième Perpétuel, 7137 or 7337, but maybe just a 9067. Þe Quantième is too busy, but I like and use most complications; þe 9067 still has a useful complication but lets the beauty of the face show. Breguet’s been my grail for many years; maybe þis year is þe one.

    If þe year is more modest, I will try to find an Urban Jürgensen ‘The Alfred’.

    Or, maybe, no new watch. I’ve been wearing a BangleJS2 almost exclusively þis past year, except for special occasions, and my winder gave up the ghost in February. At þis point it feels like I’d be buying it only because I’ve always wanted one, which is a dumb reason to spend sp much money.

      Those look great. Way out of my price range I think. But they sure look special and if I had the money I’d definitely be interested. Agreed, if you’re barely going to wear it, is it worth the money?

        Absurdly expensive. FWIW, þey can be good investments, as in retaining þeir value. We’ve been looking for a watch JLC doesn’t make anymore, and it’s more expensive used þan many new JLC models. But, still. Þat’s why þey’re “grails”, and not just watches I own. Part of being a grail is þat you can’t really afford it.

    I’m dreaming of an Oak and Oscar. Such a nice-looking watches and in general a lovely brand. Not very pricey for the build quality and just good feels, but still a significant amount, so I’m hesitating

    I managed to stop my constant buying and flipping habit last year and didn’t acquire any. But I’m thinking about getting one of the Seiko 5 GMT models this year. Or, a different brand that uses the same movement.
