Sam Hines, Head of New York Watches, once said,”When it comes to modern watches, the more complicated and the more technically innovative, the better.” While I don’t completely agree with this statement, I think Hines is onto something. These days, we don’t just look to watches to tell time, we look to them to make a statement. We look for ingenuity and uniqueness. Though we love classic design, we can’t help but applaud those that use modern materials and manufacturing techniques to elevate watches to a higher art form.

The culture of luxury watches represents some of the most refined, intricate and progressive designs of any machinery in the world.  Countless, tiny moving parts are crafted precisely to fit into the greater machine, a work of mechanical art that is designed to display an abstract measure of life’s progress.  These luxury watches will blow your mind with their ingenuity, their excess, their inspiration and their price tags.  They represent the 10 best luxury watches of 2010, timepieces that should be truly celebrated.
