Happy Halloween! October 31st is the only day of the year that watch guys like us can get away with wearing a skeleton costume and a skeleton watch at the same time. Since about 99.99% of you probably haven't dressed up for Halloween in quite some time (correct me if I'm wrong) and I'm no fashion blogger, I'll save the costume discussion for another day and share with you the best skeleton watches of Halloween 2014....

It's that time of fall when all of the excitement begins. Brands are giving an intimation as to what we should expect to see in 2015, boutiques are finally receiving the long-awaited watches from this past Baselworld and SIHH, and there's tons of news that I will be sharing with you as we near the new year.

A dress watch is a quintessential piece in any collection. Patek’s Calatrava, Lange’s Saxonia, Journe’s Chronometre Bleu, and Vacheron’s Patrimony all sell for around $20,000, are known for their superb quality, and are downright dapper. These watches exemplify fine Swiss watchmaking, but aside from Journe’s use of tantalum, are they that unusual? This is why I admire Vacheron’s Malte.

A short while ago, I visited with IWC to get a closer look at the watch I have just been dying to see, the Aquatimer Automatic from SIHH 2014. At a glimpse, this watch isn’t dissimilar to its predecessors, but when actually taking the time to sit down and further examine the watch, the modifications speedily become evident. As with most, if not all, professional diving watches, the case is constructed of super-durable stainless steel and, overall, is rugged in nature. To be honest, it wears a bit loudly on my wrist, but at 42 millimeters in diameter and 14 millimeter in height, it’s ideally sized for a modern dive watch, actually the smallest watch of the Aquatimer collection.

Today, I would like to introduce the most recent creation by Cartier, the Calibre de Cartier Diver Watch. This watch is indeed amazing, but had a totally unexpected release earlier this year. As most know, Cartier has produced some of the upmost exceptional masterpieces of jewelry and horology in the world, but within the 167 years of Cartier’s existence, the Calibre de Cartier Diver is the only serious diver’s watch in the company’s timekeeping lineage.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to the new Panerai Luminor Marina 8 Days Acciaio, a modern sports watch that, I suspect, one day will be a vintage treasure. This watch is the epitome of a perfect Panerai: a clean dial, an in-house movement, a rugged pebbled-leather strap, and a case that has the weight of a solid block of steel. The official name of this watch is the PAM 590, a name that I know we all will be hearing a lot more of.
