The two-day Heuer Collectors Summit was held this past Monday, September 12th, 2016, at TAG Heuer’s headquarters in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. A highlight of the gathering was a soft debut of the upcoming 2017 TAG Heuer Autavia reissue watch.

This Breitling Superocean Heritage Chronoworks watch costs about $40,000. If you haven’t already noticed, pricing doesn’t always seem to make sense in the watch world.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the all-black watch, Hublot presented the competitively priced Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire All Black, a darkly transparent watch equipped with the latest technological breakthroughs of the brand.

In honor of the “55th Anniversary of the first automatic Grand Seiko,” Seiko released both a set of traditional-looking Grand Seiko models and modern ones intended to celebrate the Grand Seiko 62GS from 1967. In this Grand Seiko Historical Collection set of watches, two contain Seiko Spring Drive movements and two contain Hi-Beat automatic movements.
Under the leadership of Jean-Claude Biver, TAG Heuer has been making some moves that are helping to reenergize the brand. The TAG Heuer Aquaracer keeps getting better, and these new models improve on the previous version with cool black PVD titanium cases and hip, vibrant colors.
One of the surprise hits for me at Baselworld 2016 was the new Mido Ocean Star Captain V in titanium. Mido is one of the less well-known Swatch Group brands – at least in the United States – but it has some cool watches, and the brand’s flagship dive watch collection has always been the Ocean Star.
