AS IN THE WORLD OF FASHION, OLD WATCH
trends inevitably tick around again. From the classically inspired pieces of the 1930s to the flashy modern sports watches of the 1970s, there are countless 20th century models that look as good today as they did in decades past. Driven by collectors’ booming interest in old school designs, brands of all kinds are mining their archives for vintage gems and re-releasing them with spruced-up movements and contempo- rary-sized cases. So, if you’re looking to add a dash of classic design to your collection, you’ll be sure to find something here that’ll stand the test of time.
