All men’s luxury watches can be divided into three major categories: dress watches that can be easily passed down through generations, sports watches created to match the wearer’s active lifestyle, and innovative watches distinguished by their unprecedented complications and design. Needless to say that the latter are usually the most expensive and undoubtedly the most eye-catching. So what are these men’s luxury watches and why are they always in demand with Haute Horlogerie connoisseurs? Below is our top 5 list of these innovative timepieces to blow your mind!

1. Jean Dunand Palace

Inspired by the era of Art Deco industrialism, the Palace is one of the coolest, craziest, and most incredible looking men’s luxury watches in the Jean Dunand collection. Featuring two linear displays for the power reserve indication and GMT, a flying tourbillon, and a unique winding mechanism, this eclectic timepiece is complicated in both functionality and design.

2. A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph Perpetual “Pour le Mérite”

This year, A. Lange & Söhne has introduced its fifth masterpiece from the renowned “Pour le Mérite” series of sophisticated high-end luxury watches. Combining a perpetual calendar, a rattrapante chronograph, a tourbillon, and a fusee-and-chain transmission, the new Tourbograph Perpetual is all about company’s long watchmaking tradition blended with pure technical superiority.

3. Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon

The Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002G is one of the most complicated wristwatches ever created by Patek Philippe. Featuring two stunning dials and thirteen impressive complications, including a tourbillon, a minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar, this luxury watch is a true masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie. However, it is also a piece of art created using various artistic techniques.

4. MB&F HM3 MoonMachine

Based on the MB&F iconic HM3 Frog model, the MoonMachine is the first Horological Machine to be equipped with a moon phase complication. However, the playful appearance of the original model has remained the same. After all, who said that Haute Horlogerie should necessarily be serious?

5. Urwerk UR-CC1 King Cobra

It took Urwerk more than three years to bring the innovative UR-CC1 model to life.
