"On paper, offering a dive watch in solid 18k rose gold does not make much sense. Yet, with the new Panerai PAM 684, the contrast between the warm tone of the gold and the utilitarian black dial works extremely well, and the more modest 42mm case size cuts down on all that excessive weight." -- Louis Westphalen

"A great example of a "ladies" watch done well. It's rose gold case is 36mm in diameter and the watch has a beautiful silvered guilloché dial made of solid gold.

"Technically this one wasn't part of SIHH, but it was unveiled in Geneva this week. <a href="index.php?page=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hodinkee.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-fp-journe-vagabondage-iii-the-worlds-first-mechanical-digital-jumping-seconds-wristwatch" target="_blank" target="_blank">This</a> is the world's first watch to show the seconds with a mechanical, digital-style display that jumps instantly from one second to the next. The high contrast between the contemporary time display and very retro case shape sets it apart, and the whole thing works surprisingly well." -- Arthur Touchot

"The 38mm Altiplano with a bright blue dial might have been an expected play by Piaget for the 60th anniversary of the Altiplano collection, but it did not disappoint one bit. It's thin, elegant, and sexy, all while adding a new shade to the current line-up of ultra-thin dress watches." -- Louis Westphalen
