Awesome Watches

Jaguar teamed up with watchmaker Bremont to create this stellar timepiece which pays tribute to the lightweight E-Type which won its class at the 1963 12 Hours of Sebring. The watch features a red-stitched strap which mimics racing stripes, and other auto-inspired details.

Casio is calling the new color schemes on the GA710 “garish” but we just call them “awesome.” The B-Boy inspired gloss black and gold metallic is our fave, but the black/silver and black/blue semi-matte designs are slick too.

Named after Breitling’s aerobatic racing plane, the Colt Skyracer is made of Breitlight – a material that’s lighter and stronger than titanium. It also has a practical white-on-black display, glare-proof sapphire crystal and a removable rubber strap that doubles as a ruler.

It’s not the first of its kind, but the NIWA (Nixie Watch) will hopefully be a stylish take on the nixie tube wristwatch. It uses IN-16 tubes and uses a gyro sensor to make the tubes light up when you raise your arm to look at the watch. It lasts up to 6 days per charge.

M&Co.’s brass-cased, leather-strapped design is about as classic as you can get, but its partial dial adds just a touch of whimsy and modernism. Despite having numbers only in the upper-left quadrant, your brain will easily fill in the rest. Comes in 40mm and 33mm sizes.

A very special version of Mr. Jones awesome Sun and Moon watch, embellished with hand-applied 22-karat gold and palladium leaf on the glass, a camelgrain leather band, and swirling layers of pale blue on its face. Limited to just 100 pieces.

Ralph Lauren’s stunning single- and double-tourbillon wrist watches were influenced by Lauren’s own 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe. The wood bezel, speedometer-inspired face, and exposed gearing certainly convey the watches’ automotive muse.

It may look like the hands have come loose on this off-kilter wristwatch, but it’s actually an intentional design choice to give its face a dynamic look. The hours are displayed in 24h format on the small dial up top, while the minutes appear on the skinny white hand.

A limited reissue of Nixon’s ultimate Star Wars watch. We already love the design of The Unit digital wrist watch, and it’s just that much better dressed in Mandalorian armor. Offers 12/24h time, dual time, calendar, temperature, countdown, chronograph, alarm and a light.

A smartwatch for race car drivers. Its windshield-mounted sensor automatically identifies track location, and sends the watch lateral Gs, lap times, top speed, sector times, and more. An interchangeable analog movement provides versatility off the track.

The Timex IQ+ Move is designed to look like a traditional analog timepiece. It tracks steps and distance, calories burned, and sleep habits, and can sync time precisely with your phone. It’s not as feature rich as other smartwatches, but we much prefer the styling of these.

A timepiece based on the band Snake Plissken wore to countdown until his arteries explode in John Carpenter’s classic Escape from New York. Beyond its countdown timer, it’s a smartwatch with world time, date, stopwatch, pedometer, compass, weather, and notifications.
