It has been a busy year forwatchlovers. Seemingly every other week we’ve seen brands hit the market with new pieces, from limited edition dials and collections through to full-blown new ranges.
It’s also a year which saw the launch of the first new Patek Philippe collection in 25 years, as well as anniversary years for brands like Breitling and A Lange and Sohne. That yielded a range of new models for us to lust over, too. Without further ado, let’s dive in and take a closer look at all the things which made 2024 tick.
Panerai Submersible Elux Lab ID

Unquestionably the most significant technological advancement in watches this year was thePanerai Submersible Elux LAB-ID. Complete with a movement which generated an actual electrical current, this is one of the most significant pieces not just of the year, but of the wider moment.
Christopher Ward Trident C60 Lumiere

Christopher Ward has been going from strength to strength this year, with a whole array of brilliant releases. We could fill this list with only their models, but thisLumierereally takes the cake.
It feels like a proper coming of age for the brand, which is a lovely place to be.
Zenith Chronomaster Original Triple Calendar

When this watch launched early in the year, I went out on a limb, saying it could be considered one of the best watch releases of 2024. That may have been slightly early for such a prediction, but it’s still a killer watch.
The calendar and the moonphase dial make for a beautifully elegant look, while the proportions make it perfect for a wide range of wrists.

Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon

When a watch has been around as long as theOmega Speedmaster, you’d forgive a lack of imagination. People get so used to how it was done, they start to think that’s the only way itshouldbe done.
Omega’sDark Side of the Moonchallenges that, with a cool, dark appearance and some neat little touches like a rocket as a hand.
Seiko Cocktail Time Star Bar

TheSeiko Cocktail Timerange is popular for good reason. Everything you need from a dive watch without the eye-watering price tag some brands impose.
Mr Jones Watches Blueberry Late

When you create something as sought-after and cool as theMr Jones Watches Berry Late Again, it would be foolish not to capitalise. And the brand did exactly that in 2024, with a blue hued variant dubbed theBlueberry Late.
I adore this watch, and the blue is definitely going to have a slightly wider appeal.
Tissot PRX Gradient

When a watch has been as popular as theTissot PRX, it can often be hard to innovate on. Stray to far from the original blueprint and it feels detached; change too little and it doesn’t make sense in the collection.
My fears with the PRX were unfounded, though, with several new models this year. And while the forged carbon variant launched may have captured widespread imagination,this gradientis the hottest addition for me.
Citizen Iconic Nature collection

Gorgeous dress watches with a dial made from incredibly delicateTosa Washi paper? Check. This is a stunning collection from Citizen, and an example of just why we’re such fans of the brand.
Parmigiani Fleurier PF Hijri Perpetual Calendar

I’ve been a huge fan of Parmigiani Fleurier for years, and getting hands on with thisHijri CalendaratWatches and Wonderswas a real treat. A marvel of modern watchmaking in every sense.
Bulgari Octo Finissimo Sketch

In the long list of underrated watches, theBulgari Octo Finissimosits quite high. It’s majestically slim, and this one even features a unique dial complete with the movement doodled on the face.
It’s just brilliantly playful, and the perfect watch for those who really would rather have the movement showing that the dial.
Tudor Black Bay Chrono Pink

As a lover of pink dials, I adore thisTudor Black Bay Chrono. Launched around the same time the brand partnered with MLS team, Inter Miami, this model felt like a marker of that moment.
It’s also bang on trend, and almost broke the internet on release.
Gerald Charles Masterlink

Possibly my favourite watch from 2024, theGerald Charles Masterlinkis a worthy addition to the Gerald Genta lineage. Complete with an artful bracelet and a staggering movement, this is worth every penny.
Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT

(Image credit: Sam Cross)
Another Tudor which won over some fans this year was the58 GMT ‘Coke’. Based on a very popular old Rolex design, the model was a hit on the show floor at Watches and Wonders.
A Lange and Söhne Datograph

A Lange and Söhnecelebrated 25 years of the Datograph this year, and did so in style. A wide array of models appeared throughout the year, all complete with luxurious materials and staggering movements. Any of them could be the pick here.
Vacheron Constantin Egerie

There aren’t too many genuinely innovative technologies in a world as backward-facing as watches, but theVacheron Constantin Egeriedefinitely has some. In particular, this watch includes micro-beads of a custom made perfume in the strap, which rupture as you wear it to release a trail of scent.
Seiko Prospex Solar Chronograph ‘Pogue’

(Image credit: Seiko)
The originalPogueis such a cult classic in the Seiko lineup that this modern recreation was always a certain hit. Beautiful with its bright colours, this is a killer chronograph. I’ve still not managed to get my hands on one – something I hope to rectify in 2025.
Casio G-Shock 50th Anniversary

50 years of Casio watches is always something worthy of a celebration. The brand certainly didn’t disappoint this year, with a range of different models on offer.
While the return of theCasiotronmight have been the headline grabber, thismetal G-Shockis my pick. It’s a beautiful colourway, and a classic piece.
Biver Automatique

If you’re a fan of a beautiful movement, theBiver Automatiqueis a seriously good pick. Complete with a gorgeous micro-rotor, this watch really dazzled this year.
Bonus points go to the one-of-one made for the Time For Art auction, which is arguably as pretty from the front.
Ulysse Nardin Freak x Gumball Rally

Bonkers. Crazy. Over the top. That’s a trio of descriptors which could be used when talking about the Gumball Rally. It could also be describing theUlysse Nardin Freak, which makes the collaboration piece between the two a match made in heaven.
Nomadic Fior 555

(Image credit: Sam Cross)
Did we really need another dive watch-inspired GMT on the market? Probably not, but Nomadic pulled on the heart strings enough to make us want one.
TheFior 555is a beautiful piece from a really lovely company. If you only buy one watch from the brand, this is a great pick.
Patek Philippe Cubitus

The firstnew Patek Philippe collectionin 25 years? Yeah, that deserves some attention. Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that this watch is a statement piece.
Swatch MoonSwatch Earthphase

Of all the brands on this list, Swatch might not be the one you’d place as the innovator. Yet that’s exactly what they did this year, with thefirst ever Earthphasecomplication.
It’s a cool addition and the perfect complication for a watch like this.

Most watch fans are lovers of beautiful and intricate dials, but what happens if you turn that hand to the dial? Well, probably something like thisRoger Dubuis Knights of the Round Tablemodel.
