While there are quite a few watches that command the status of an icon, there are fewer movements that can do the same. Even when they can do that, the vast majority is only known among a group of very dedicated collectsors and no so much to the mainstream consumers. There is, however, an exception to this rule. A name that is often used synonymously for both the movement, as well as the watch that it powers: Zenith's El Primero!

Lange & Söhne is not a brand that fills the market with introduction after introduction. As a very exclusive manufacture this is simply not their style, but when they do introduce a new model, you can count on it that it is something very special!

In the world of Roger Dubuis, only the best is good enough. This also becomes clear when you look at the 'Velvet,' their collectsion of ladies watches.

As a brand, having an icon in your collectsion can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. While icons will generate interest and revenues, there will always be a point in which you need to move into the future, preferably with your icon, but changing it is still a very sensitive task.

However, to obtain such a piece of art money needs to change hands and becomes a natural limitation for the number of people who want to get one. The following watches are far beyond the horizon for most collectsors, but unfortunately, that doesn't make them any less desirable!
