Men’s Style

“Only Watch” is a special charity event held every two years in Monaco during the Monaco Yacht Show, all the proceeds from the even go to research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).  The watches at the event are produced by some of the most renowned Swiss watchmakers and are one-of-a-kind.  Because of the uniqueness of the watches and the fact that proceeds go to charity, these watches usually fetch very high prices.

This year the Only Watch event will take place on September 23, 2011 in Monaco at the Hotel Hermitage.  Fortunately you don’t have to wait until September to see these beautiful watches, over the next few months, we will be covering most of the watches.

Below are the 40 watch makers that will be present at the 2011 Only Watch charity event.

Maximilian Büsser & Friends (MB&F) is one of my favorite luxury watchmakers, one of the reasons is their out-of-this-world design and I think Max Busser is a cool cat.  Their latest watch pair is a slightly new take on the Horological Machine No. 4 Thunderbolt (HM4), the two new versions are called HM4 Double Trouble and HM4 Razzle Dazzle.

The original HM4 Thunderbolt was designed to show Max Busser’s love of vintage airplanes and the two limited edition timepieces (only 8 of each version will be produced) take the airplane concept a few steps further by adding vintage pinup art, titanium rivets on the “fuselage”, and vintage bomber jacket inspired brown leather straps.

The third installment in the Men In Black franchise will be hitting theaters on May 25, 2012 and like the first two movies, Hamilton watches will be worn by Agent J and K.  In the movie, Agent J will be wearing the Hamilton Ventura XXL and when he travels back in time (15 years to be exact) to save Agent K, Hamilton Ventura Medium will make an appearance.

Don’t you hate it when people ask you what time it is? TokyoFlash Japan is a watch company with the answer to that little problem. Never again will someone will be able to read the time on your watch, with this lovely cryptic face pattern.

We’ve reviewed many innovative watches here at Unfinished Man, and the Kisai certainly fits the bill. Not only is this watch ‘wearable art’, but it’s also a big F*** You to the typical generic watches churned out in

Today I would like to introduce you to another independent watchmaker, Romain Gauthier.  The company, named after its owner, is relatively new to the watch industry; the company was founded in 2006 and has produced three models so far: the Prestige HM, Prestige HMS, and the latest addition is the Romain Gauthier Logical One watch.

The “Logical One” watch is a stunning piece of mechanical art, the front and the back of the watch proudly showcase the beautiful mechanical movement, I can spend days just staring at it.  The Romain Gauthier Logical One watch is not only a looker but it also features some advanced technologies and its movement features three patent-pending technologies.
