2024 new releases ...that ended up in my collection.
Some of the new watch releases from this year caught my attention in a way that they are now part of my collection.
Nothing super fancy or highly complicated ...or outrageously priced,but just well made watches that spoke to me.
1. The dive watches that finally got their size right :
Longines Legend Diver with the 39mm case.
Tudor Black Bay "monochromatic" with the slimmer case profile.
And finally a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms with the perfect (42.5 mm) case size.
2. The "French Connection" : my first French made watches in the collection.
Yema Navygraf Slim with its interesting micro-rotor movement.
And the sparkling Pequignet Royal Paris with a spectacular aventurine dial.

The Chopard is for me the perfect blend between an elegant watch that can also be worn for the more casual moments.
The proportions are great for my wrist and the movement is a real piece of high horology. The overall package really did it for me and I also feel that this is the best value high horology watch of the year ! And I believe that it is just good looking !! ...
I like where you are going with this collection.
