CARTIER BALLON BLEU
Along with Roman numerals, a “rail- road” minutes track, and a sapphire cabochon on the winding crown, guilloche dials are a distinctive element of Cartier watches. The result of a centuries-old technique of engine-turning, this specialized finishing method creates a pattern of delicate undulating lines that ripple out from the dial’s centre. $20,300, at Humbertown Jewellers
TISSOT PRX
Developed in the ’70s alongside some of the era’s most famous sports watches, the integrated bracelet and “tapisserie” grid en- graved on this watch’s dial put it in the company of legends. Its auto- matic movement is state of the art, with an 80-hour power reserve and a patented Nivachron balance spring for improved accuracy.
