A good watch, as both a tool and a statement of one's style, transcends time itself, no matter how fleeting the days feel.

A timepiece that can outlive generations of wearers and often becomes a sacred heirloom, which is part of why purchasing a luxury watch is so special. In the October 2024 L'OFFICIEL Men's issue, we shot and highlighted some of the finest designs currently on the market. Fancy a dapper cut with alligator leather straps? Then, Patek Phillipe's piece, just short of $200,000, presents an enticing option. Want to add more minimalist one to your moodboard? Look to Hermès.

Keep scrolling to shop some of our favorite men's watches with a heftier price tag, from Cariter to Tag Heuer.

Hermès knows how to create minimalistic designs perfect for stylishly completing any autumn outfit.

This watch features the ultra-thin Hermès movement and a beautiful anti-glare sapphire crystal case back, making it as functional as it is luxurious.

Omega

This watch has been a part of all six crewed Apollo moon landings. The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is sure to withstand just about anything. We love this one in particular, as it's made with the brand's patented Sedna rose gold, paired beautifully with a black dial. This Omega design is a testament to the fact that a watch can be technical and visually appealing at the same time.

Cartier

The Pasha de Cartier watch is a truly timeless pick, especially for someone who likes radiance. The 18-karat rose gold case, black alligator leather strap, and bezel covered in 47 diamonds are just some of the elements that make this watch special. Depending on its wearer, this could be for the everyday, or those special nights that call for more than a plain face.

The Grand Complications watch by Patek Phillipe shines even brighter in person, thanks to its radiant, buttery yellow gold.

Its movements are finely tuned thanks to a handful of patented innovations.
