The selection below shows both this high quality and the diversity. They include watches with mystery movements, modern recreations of iconic timepieces and designs emphasizing thematic concepts. Some of the watches were created to honor anniversaries and milestones. There are chronographs, classic watches and world timers. And they include pieces from some of best-known luxury brands and lesser-known small independent brands.
So enjoy these watches as the industry is already producing pieces for 2019.

Rotonde de Cartier Skeleton Mysterious Double Tourbillon The mysterious double tourbillon movement, first created by Cartier in 2013, shows a tourbillon that appears to be suspended in mid-air with no connection to the rest of the movement. As a double flying tourbillon, it completes a rotation in 60 seconds, while the tourbillon cage performs a second five-minute rotation. On the dial skeletonized bridges are in the shape of Roman numerals with the mysterious tourbillon encased in the transparency of the skeleton. A subdial at 12 o?clock indicates hours and minutes with blued steel sword-shaped hands. The watch is housed in a 45 platinum case and powered by the Caliber 9465MC manual movement with a 52-hour power reserve.
