The IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar was the overall winner. It’s a horological masterpiece that retails at $150,000 due to its superb capabilities. As a watch designed to be quite effective in tracking moon phases, the IWC Portugieser Eternal Calendar can provide precise information for 45 million years.

“We are thrilled to win this award for the Portugieser Eternal Calendar. Building on the emblematic crown-controlled perpetual calendar that Kurt Klaus developed in the 1980s, we have pushed the limits for mechanical calendar complications once again. We have engineered more than just a concept,” said Grainger-Herr.

Apart from that, the MING 37.09 was the winner of the sports watch category. And thanks to its stylish design, it is a suitable timepiece for day-to-day activities.

The MING 37.09MING has always been popular for its minimalistic features, and the 37.09 is the perfect example of a minimalistic and stylish timepiece. One of the most stylish features of this watch is the blue dial.

And since this timepiece is a diver’s watch, the dial is accentuated by Super-LumiNova-x1. Everything that’s fitted on the watch, from the dial to the strap, has a blue shade. It’s also worthwhile to note that elements on the watch have a different shade.

Grand Tour- La Grande Boucle IV

Perhaps the most obvious symbol of the Tour de France comes in the shape of the statement yellow strap and the vibrant yellow accent in the 15-minute counter at 3 o’clock.

Like a ripe Valencia orange, bursting with juice and color and plucked off the tree at the perfect time, orange watches for men will zest up your wristwear game. In a sea of monochrome monotony, where the average watch is usually blue or black with a stainless steel bracelet, orange watches will certainly have you standing out.

Orange is not only a great way to add a pop of color to your wardrobe, but the color has major significance and use. No, we're not talking traffic cones, Halloween pumpkins, and other unsightly things that famously use the color. It's also seen in a Tuscan sunset, used as a way to see better in the depths of the ocean, or sometimes aids as a symbol of an organization or good cause like environmental conservation.
