The three-dimensional dial with Perrelet’s signature 12-blade turbine is the undisputed heavyweight feature of this model, with the complication rotating with every wrist movement to reveal sundial in vibrant shades of electric blue, grass green, and light gray. Luminescent markers and hands make legibility a breeze, and the chronograph’s central hand with Super-Luminova tip ensures precise time measurement.

Ulysse Nardin Diver X Skeleton Ops

If you believe skeleton watches simply keep the time, then think again, as they are truly wearable pieces of art blending the mechanical with artistic expression. While some conventional editions may hide the inner workings, skeleton watches beautifully display the intricacies involved in a timepiece from the springs and rotors to the architecture of the gears. Each movement, which can be seen through a transparent case back, embodies precision engineering and expert craftsmanship. Collectors are always looking for the next big thing in horology; skeleton watches are an impressive balance of technical and aesthetic achievement. They are not only visually magnificent, but the skill involved in constructing them proves why skeleton displays take center stage and currently serve as the ultimate form of wearable art.

Chrono24 reveals top luxury watches by age group
From datejust to calatrava: how watch preferences evolve with age
Chrono 24 Gen Z Millenial Boomer Watch

Chrono24, a luxury watch marketplace with headquarters in Karlsruhe, has made public some new information. This data shows clear preferences among different generations of watch buyers. Rolex is the most popular brand overall, but certain models appeal more to different age groups.
The company in Karlsruhe examined transaction information to determine which watches are bought more frequently by each age group. The results showed both expected patterns and some surprising exceptions.
Rolex models are in first place in four out of five age categories, but the specific choices change quite a bit. The Datejust is the top pick among buyers under 30. The Submariner leads with people aged 30-39. The Daytona is most popular with those who are 40-49, while the Sea-Dweller comes out on top with buyers aged 50-59. Only the group over 60 goes against this trend, showing a stronger preference for the Patek Philippe Calatrava.
Loyalty to Rolex seems highest among younger buyers. Three of the top five models for people under 30 and those aged 30-39 are Rolex. This drops to two Rolex models in the top five for buyers aged 40-59. For buyers over 60, only one Rolex-the Sky-Dweller-makes it into the top five.
The 40-49 age group shows the most variety in taste. Their top ten purchases include nine different manufacturers, such as Breitling, Vacheron Constantin, and IWC. By comparison, buyers over 60 are drawn to more expensive options, with three Patek Philippe models in their top ten.
Interest in Omega is especially strong among Gen Z watch enthusiasts (mainly the under-30 group). Three Omega models appear in their top ten, along with four Rolex watches, two from Cartier, and, somewhat surprisingly, a Grand Seiko Heritage Collection model. This Grand Seiko is the only one to appear in any age group’s top choices.
The data confirms the wide appeal of luxury watches across generations. Chrono24 reported that more than a third of Gen Z already own a high-quality watch or plan to buy one soon. With about 540,000 watches from around 3,000 dealers and 45,000 private sellers across more than 120 countries, Chrono24 offers a unique view of global watch market trends.
