Our Top 3 Dress Watches of 2023

2023 was a very good year for the world of watches. From a new Rolex line to the revival of Universal Geneve, enthusiasts and collectors could not be happier. Probably the most interesting releases were in the segment of “dress” watches. As the end of the year nears, we think it’s only suitable to summarize the Top 3 Dress Watches according to Chrono 10:10

Rolex 1908

 

When Rolex unveiled their new dress watch, the watch world was astonished. The Swiss giant is well aware of their knack for dress watches, and even though they don’t make them as often, they really scored a home run with this one. Everything from the breathtaking dial with the small seconds to the beautiful black/green leather strap, this timepiece defines why Rolex is the leader of the industry. For us, a 10/10 watch.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph

 

JLC Reverso is a great go-to timepiece, whether it is a gala evening or a trip with your family. What we love about this exemplar is the combination of a black and classy dial on one side, but once you flip it, the skeletonized face with the power reserve will make anyone gasp. Reversos tend to act like to watches in one case, but it has never been more obvious than with this particular model. The only little drawback comes to the strap of choice, but in the end, that really comes down to your preference. We give it a solid 9/10.

Cartier Bagnorie Bangle

 

Honestly, nowadays it’s pretty hard to think of Cartier as a jeweler. In fact, many people will first think of Santos rather than their exquisite jewelry. Their history of making watches is as long and respectable as anyone’s, and as a tribute to their watchmaking achievements, Cartier decided to make the Bagnorie Bangle, a tiny dress watch for women that combines the best of both worlds. A simple golden integrated bracelet connects the small, round face of the watch to your wrist, being an accessory as much as a watch. The white dial with the iconic blue hands and Roman numerals will always be timeless. For us, this is the best release for women in 2023. We give Cartier and their Bagnorie Bangle 11/10. An excellent work.
