Any watch can tell you the time of day, but the upper echelons of watchmaking offer much more than just hours and min- utes. They also display the day, the date, the month — even the phases of the moon. And, while having this information on your wrist can often be useful, the tricky task of displaying these figures accurately (taking into account the varying length of each month, as well as leap years) is a daunting horological feat. But that makes this selection of striking, sophisticated timepieces worth their place in your collection — any day of the week.
Rolex Sky-Dweller
Featuring one of Rolex’s most complicated movements, this travel-friendly timepiece indicates local time on its hands and a second (home) time on the ingenious 24-hour dial at the centre. Better still for frequent flyers, the Saros annual calendar displays the day and month, and will automatically differentiate between 30 and 31-day months. $18,700
