BOAT LIFE


A LANGE AND SOHNE
LANGE 1 MOON PHASE

The off-centre display and extra large date
windows on this 38.5mm diameter watch are
typical signatures of the high-end German brand.
So long as the hand-wound, 438 part movement
is kept running, the exquisite moon phase display
will remain accurate for 122.6 years.
£32,500, alange-soehne.com

ROLEX DAY-DATE

Launched in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date was the
first watch to display the date and the day of the
week in full – and it is available in 26 languages.
Waterproof to a depth of 100m, the Day-Date is
also supremely resilient thanks to its
anti-magnetic Parachrom hairspring and
patented Paraflex shock absorbing system.
£27,650, rolex.com

BREGUET TRADITION 7077
INDEPENDENT CHRONOGRAPH

The “Independent” in the name of this watch
refers to the fact that its beautifully executed
mechanism actually comprises two movements
in one – the one on the right governing the time,
the one on the left for the chronograph. Classic
Breguet finishes include “blued” steel hands.
£59,900, breguet.com

DE GRISOGONO
NEW RETRO N04

The New Retro dress watch from jeweller to the
stars Fawaz Gruosi’s brand features a smooth,
50x40mm oblong case, top-mounted crown and
applied hour markers that create a perfect 1950s
vibe. For the more adventurous, the N01
combines a pink gold case and vintage green dial.
£23,300, degrisogono.com

JAEGER-LECOULTRE
MASTER GRANDE TRADITION
PERPETUAL CALENDAR
Limited to 200 examples, this masterpiece
features an eight day, hand-wound movement
with perpetual calendar, phases of the moon and
power reserve indication. The skeletonised dial is
surrounded by a hand-enamelled border.

PATEK PHILIPPE
REFERENCE 5930G

Patek Philippe’s World Time watches use a system
invented in 1931 by horologist Louis Cottier that
simultaneously shows the hour in 24 cities
by means of a rotating disc synchronised with
the main home time indication. This white gold
model also incorporates a chronograph.
£53,500, patek.com
