If you read HODINKEE regularly, then you (like us) have seen a ton of watches this year – and I mean A TON. This year we had some greats that we couldn’t get out of our heads, like the Tudor Black Bay 36, Rolex Daytona with ceramic bezel, Audemars Piguet Extra-Thin Tourbillon in platinum, and the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin 37mm. But there are few watches that you may have forgotten, not because they were not worth remembering, but because of the sheer volume of watches released every year. Here are seven great watches that you probably forgot about, but definitely should remember.

London; birthplace of the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Phil Collins and countless other musical geniuses. Over the decades the city has boasted a thriving and ever changing music scene, influencing pop culture worldwide.

Opening its doors for the first time in October, 1959, Ronnie Scott’s is one of the oldest jazz clubs in the world and has hosted the likes of Miles Davies, Count Basie and Kurt Elling amongst a myriad of others. As with watchmaking, good jazz music is all about precise execution, consistent quality and just a touch of the unexpected. The Glashütte Original PanoReserve embodies all of these qualities and more and, like a good jazz record, only seems to get better with time. Today we take a closer look to find out why.
