BURO Watch List: 8 Hottest Watch Drops This September

Tick-tock, the clock is ticking. With the month gradually winding down, some of us are finding ourselves at a crossroads, drowning in a sea of spectacular timepieces that the world of watches has to offer. From limited-edition collaborative pieces to celebrity-backed brands, the pool of factors influencing our purchasing decisions is growing by the minute. To settle on just one is pretty much impossible. That said, a handful of creations stand apart from their contemporaries, and these watches represent the best that have come out in September.

AUDEMARS PIGUET CODE 11.59

Audemars Piguet’s 150th anniversary celebration continues with a glittering addition to the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet collection. Incorporating a blue sodalite watch face—a nod to the brand’s exploration into natural stone dials in the 1960s—the 18K pink gold watch puts an emphasis on the visual effect. That said, Audemars Piguet doesn’t skimp on the technical aspects, as it is equipped with the self-winding flying tourbillon movement, Calibre 2968.

BOVET RÉCITAL 30

One does not simply rake in nominations at Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) without delivering the goods. This year, Bovet bets big on its Récital 30. Nominated in the Men’s Complication category, the watch builds on the 24-city roller system from the Récital 28 Prowess 1, allowing it to be adjusted for Daylight Saving Time. Visual-wise, the Récital 30 boasts a domed sapphire crystal case enclosing a vintage-inspired dial.

BREGUET MARINE HORA MUNDI 5555

The latest masterpiece at Breguet pays homage to the brand’s heritage as the Watchmaker to the French Royal Navy. Created in conjunction with the brand’s 250th anniversary, the limited-edition Marine Hora Mundi 5555 boasts a number of noteworthy features. The highlight here is inarguably the nocturnal vision of the Earth on the watch face. Referencing NASA’s ‘Black Marble’, the watchmaker places the dial on two superimposed levels—guilloché and sapphire.

CARTIER BALLON BLEU

Debuted in 2007, the sleek Ballon Bleu has steadily gained momentum as one of the fan favourites. Its pebble-like appearance, anchored by a circular design, resonates with those who seek effortless elegance. Cartier stands firm on this philosophy with the latest iteration of the watch. Crafted in yellow gold, the new Ballon Bleu features a blue sunray dial and is equipped with a mechanical movement with automatic winding, calibre 1847 MC.

TISSOT SRV

The love affair between the world of watchmaking and the Art Deco movement enters a new chapter with Tissot’s SRV (Sapphire Rectangle V). Here, the angular silhouette and faceted glass particularly reflect the bold geometry synonymous with the iconic design style. Under it lies a regal blue dial that hides a precise quartz movement. A reissue of a 1975 model, which itself was a reimagination of a creation from the 1920s, the SRV is the epitome of a modern classic.

TUDOR 1926 LUNA

Tudor adds another feather to its cap with the Tudor 1926 Luna. Designed in collaboration with brand ambassador Jay Chou, it marks the brand’s first watch featuring a moon phase complication. The indicator appears at 6 o’clock on the blue dial framed by a stainless steel case. Brought to life by the Chronometer-grade self-winding mechanical Calibre T607-9, the Tudor 1926 Luna embodies the brand’s ‘Born To Dare’ philosophy to perfection.
