Trends come and go, but the love for watches remains unchanged. Watches are timepieces that take years of effort and precision before they reach a showroom. Horology – the art of making watches – truly is an art only a true gentleman can appreciate.

These are the 10 outstanding timepieces we’d give an arm and a leg to own right now.
