Each year, the Time+Tide Editorial team dedicates time to reflect on their favorite timepieces.
This delightful tradition has become something I eagerly anticipate.
Instead of the usual written format, I’ve decided to share my top three most worn watches from 2024 through a video.
Below, I detail the motivations behind my selection and what makes each piece special.
Breguet Classique Perpetual Calendar Ref. 3057
Owning the Breguet Classique Perpetual Calendar meant making some difficult choices, as I had to trade away several beloved watches from my collection.
However, its presence on my wrist is essential, and I find myself reaching for it often.
The 36mm 18k yellow gold case embraces my wrist perfectly, amplifying the joy of wearing it.
I have a fondness for unique timepieces, and this watch never fails to draw attention and spark conversations at social gatherings.
The intricate engravings of the movement fascinate me, and the timekeeping is consistently reliable.
Winding it each morning has become a cherished ritual that enhances my appreciation.
TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Limited Edition Ref. CBK221G.FC6479
It was love at first sight with the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph and its captivating red dial.
Although I couldn’t make a purchase at the time, it lingered in my mind.
After two and a half years, the chance to buy one at a price close to its original retail value presented itself.
After a thorough conversation with the seller, I took the plunge.
The vintage-inspired aesthetics and the classic “Heuer” branding amplified my admiration, topped off with the comfort of TAG Heuer’s deployant clasp that secures it snugly on my wrist.
Its 39mm size and solid 80-hour power reserve make it the perfect companion for everyday wear.
Credor Eichi II Wako Edition Ref. GZLT999
This year, the standout piece in my collection has undoubtedly been the Credor Eichi II.
This model represents a personal milestone for me, and I love wearing it as often as I can.
Its sleek white porcelain dial and minimalist design provide versatility, making it suitable for a variety of occasions, whether casual or formal.
The luxurious platinum case feels exquisite against my skin, and I’ve developed a satisfying routine of winding it with care.
Remarkably, it rarely runs out of power and remains impeccably accurate, thanks to the exceptional Spring Drive movement.
Looking back at 2024, I’ve noticed a significant shift in my preferences.
I’m slowly moving away from stainless steel watches paired with bracelets and gravitating toward pieces crafted from precious metals and leather straps.
It will be interesting to see how my tastes continue to evolve in 2025.
There are still several watches in my collection that I’m excited to rediscover.
I can’t wait to share more experiences with you all next year!
