Laurent Ferrier Gallet , which is very much 21st century !
THE BIG QUESTION...
What is, according to you, the most beautiful watch(es) of the 21st century (which excludes vintage watches), whatever its/their price(s) is/are/was/were (pictures welcomed), the one(s) you'd dream to wear?
Vacheron Constantin Harmony Ultra-Thin Grande Complication Chronograph
For the movement alone. Incredible aesthetics and details. It shows what VC can do if not handicapped by prices and cost.
This is the one I really would like in the real... And give it some good photo session. [nt]

If I have to choose one watch, let me very simply say Patek 5175 (sorry for the lack of pictures but I’m currently running around an airport in Germany!) [nt]

Never had a chance to try it on, but did try its G brother when we visited Geneva, necessarily big but I didn’t mind 😇😉
Patek 5065J but maybe it is not technically 21st century
For me the best watch ever made.
A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split because of the movement and its finishing.

Patek Philippe 6002, true marvel in all aspects. While driving a Ferrari 275 GTB....
When it comes to beauty . . .
. . . it's tough topping Svend.

I've had the pleasure of seeing both in the metal, perhaps a dozen years ago. There's nothing quite like the effect blue gold imbues on a dial's character.

Some of my top choices...
Gronefeld Remontoire with a Kari dial:
Akrivia Chronometre Contemporain:
Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro Rotor:
Some say that the only icon which has been created from 2000 is the Chanel J12...
And I tend to agree.
We may find a lot of beautiful watches. A lot inspired by past models... and some other which are too confidential to be known outside the narrow circle of the specialists.
I know it is not the question but I wished to bring this input.
And to answer more precisely, my list of dream watches would be too long!

Entry Level - Bvlgari Octo Finissimo. Rest higher ups most of them are already covered. [nt]
For me, it has to be...
...the Chronometre Souverain by FP Journe. Truly a design classic imo. To me ‘most beautiful’ doesn’t necessarily means ‘dream’ watch or a grail. The CS is certainly obtainable, but I can’t think of many watches at any price point that I find as beautiful.
