Seiko and Giugiaro aren’t two names that most people would ordinarily associate – one is a maker of a bewilderingly diverse range of wristwatches, and the other is a design house most famous for a huge series of automotive designs for firms as varied as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lancia, and Ford. Giugaro has also produced everything from camera designs to phones to (believe it or not) several guns, including collaborations with Beretta. Maybe, after all, the two companies do have something in common: the ability to generate an enormous number of different incarnations of their design visions. Of course, for Seiko enthusiasts, the fact that Seiko and Giugiaro work together is old news.

Christie’s has just announced its latest sale, which will be taking place in Geneva on May 15. And it’s not just your usual spring auction.

Last week our editors offered up their picks for the best everyday watches of Baselworld 2017. The goal was to pick timekeepers that you could ostensibly wear, well, every single day. You’ll notice that in all cases, those watches had just three hands (one even had a date window – gasp!). Today we’re going for something completely different. From unusual alarms to accurate moonphases to a totally new kind of chronograph, here are our editors’ favorite complicated watches of Baselworld 2017.
